Nuno Grande & Pedro Gadanho
E.D.: Who are you / how would you describe yourself?
Pedro Gadanho: Single hedonistic metrosexual, vaguely workaholic.
Nuno Grande: A good friend of the Portuguese David Beckham.
E.D.: Tell us more about The Orange house/Casa em Carreço project, and your last creation / works?

NG: Coloured Brutalism.
E.D.: Is there a philosophy behind your work?
PG: Yes.
NG: Philosophically speaking I would have to say no.

E.D.: What do you consider your influences, what inspires you?
PG: Life, popular culture, history & hashish.
NG: All kinds of shapes.
E.D.: How would you explain architecture?
PG: Well, there was this guy who decided to pick up a branch and lean it against a rock, then…
NG:…and so the future of architecture will not be architectural.
E.D.: Your favourite materials in architecture and why?
PG: People & atmosphere.
NG: Heat and cold.
