Muro Atelier, founded by the Franco-Portuguese architectural duo Joana Tomás and Vincent Rault, develops installations and spatial interventions at the intersection of art and architecture, exploring the relationships between material, memory, and territory.
Their work navigates between what endures and what transforms. Through their practice, they investigate notions of ephemerality and circularity as ways of making—ideas that permeate both the choice of materials and the processes of thinking. Each intervention oscillates between the situated and the imagined, between reading a place and inventing new ways of narrating it.
Since 2019, the collective has developed installations, architectural projects, and temporary urban interventions across a wide range of territories. Creating work in public space becomes a form of engagement: each project is conceived as a participatory process in which local communities become co-authors in the activation and transformation of their own environment.
