"Methodic Optimism" Filipe Magalhaes, Ana Luisa Soares, and Ahmed Belkhodja (Fala Atelier)

Filipe Magalhaes, Ana Luisa Soares and Ahmed Belkhodja of fala present "Methodic Optimism". 

"The method doesn’t always pay off, and comes with a good deal of frustrating moments and necessary plot twists. Projects we love are regularly thrown in the trash bin. But more often than not, they leave place for even more lovable ones. In short, we have to be resilient and stubborn. Being optimistic is an enjoyable burden."

Fala is a naïve architecture practice based in porto, founded in 2013. Led by Filipe Magalhães, Ana Luisa Soares and Ahmed Belkhodja, the atelier is hedonistic while restrained, taking lightness and joy very seriously.
