Abstract
In this article, the Portuguese architect João Mendes Ribeiro explores the connections between architecture and set design. Drawing on his wide experience, he talks about the differences, the processes and the methods shared by both disciplines, and those that clearly set them apart. Offering a critical perspective of his architectural and set design projects, from his early beginnings through to his latest work in the field of restoration, he identifies relationships and traces their development. Taking an architectural approach and going beyond a chronological overview, this article offers an insight into how elements of set design have been incorporated into his buildings.
