António Nunes Pereira was born in 1967 in Lisbon and trained as an architect at the Technical University (now University) of Lisbon. He earned his Ph.D. in 2003 at the University of Technology in Aachen, Germany, where he lived from 1991 until 2003. His thesis was about the introduction of the European Renaissance in the former Portuguese colony Goa, India, during the sixteenth century, and the development of a specific Goan church architecture. He worked as an assistant to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hartwig Schmidt at the Department for Conservation of Built Heritage at Aachen University (1993-2000). He also cooperated with several architectural offices in Portugal and Germany.
Back in Lisbon since 2003, he has carried on with his research about Renaissance architecture in Goa. With the financial support of the FCT / Lisbon, he concluded between 2005 and 2009 a research project about the architectural geometry and proportions of two churches in Goa (POCI-PPCDT/AUR/60935/2004). His further research interests include conservation of built heritage, palace studies, architectural and design theory of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and Richard Wagner's music dramas.
He is currently Associate Professor at IADE - Universidade Europeia in Lisbon (on leave), and researcher at UNIDCOM / IADE since 2003. He is director of the Palácio Nacional da Pena since October 2010, of the Palácio de Monserrate since February 2015 and of the Palácio Nacional de Queluz and Palácio Nacional de Sintra since June 2019, Parques de Sintra - Monte da Lua, S.A. (PSML), Sintra.
Since 2017 António Nunes Pereira is a board member (treasurer) of the ARRE – Network of European Royal Residences. Since 2019 he participates for PSML in the European project Palamusto, a network of leading European universities, heritage institutions and palace-museums which investigates the court residence or palace as a phenomenon of cultural exchange.
