MARCELINA GUIMARÃES
Marcelina Guimarães graduated in Architecture from the Univ. Minho, fulfilling a childhood dream.
A full member of the Order of Architects, throughout her professional career as an assistant architect she has developed various architectural and urban planning projects, which did not always fit in with her philosophy of life and sensitivity towards Planet Earth.
From this realization came the desire to specialize in Biohabitality and Biogeometry and to found a company dedicated to ecological, integrative and healthy architecture – Habitat Saudável.
