REDO is an architecture practice based in Lisbon and Basel, led by Diogo Figueiredo.
Diogo Rabaça Figueiredo earned his Master’s degree from the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio in Switzerland and his Bachelor’s degree from Lusíada University in Lisbon, Portugal.
In 2018, he founded REDO Architects, working across diverse scales and programs — from urban design and architecture to product design — for both public and private clients. In 2025, with the completion of the Bairro Padre Cruz Markethall, the practice was nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2026 and received the FORMA National Architecture Award 2025 in the Emerging Young Architects category.
Between 2019 and 2024, Diogo was Teaching Assistant at the Chair of Architecture and Urban Design of Prof. Hubert Klumpner at ETH Zurich, leading design studios, seminar weeks, and master’s theses across ten cities, developing innovative teaching methods with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goal 11.
From 2011 to 2018, he worked on several international projects at Herzog & de Meuron in Basel.
