Eduardo José Gonçalves, 1978, is an industrial designer (Instituto de Arte, Design e Empresa, IADE, Lisbon, 2000) and Master in Urban Design (Universitat de Barcelona, UB, 2006, Barcelona). Eduardo started working as a freelancer in graphic and industrial design from 1999 to 2008 and begins teaching ‘Graphic design project’, ‘Technical drawing’ and ‘3D Modelling’ at IADE (since 2003) in the licentiate course and later, ‘Light design’ on the master’s course (2009). An activity that continues to date. Starts to work in lighting design in the studio Light Motif (2001-2003), collaborating in several architectural lighting projects. This path led to meet the lighting designer Rogério Oliveira, with whom he started to work (2003) and later, co-creates the studio Eclipz - lighting design (2008). Since 2003, Eduardo worked on several projects ranging from private housing to city lighting master plans, such as the Castle of Portalegre (2004-2006), the St. Francisco Church in Portalegre (2007-2009), the congress center Ribeiro Telles Plaza in Vila Franca de Xira (2007), the Lighting Master Plan for the Village of Arraiolos (2008-2010 - 1st phase) – which won the Aurolalia 2011 awards for best innovative sustainable urban lighting project -, the commercial complex Sky Gallery, Angola (2012 - in construction) the Dyeji building complex in Luanda, Angola, (2015 - in construction), Aires Mateus & Associados Architects representation installation for the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale. His professional activity is one of the driving forces for the academic and research activity, finishing in 2016, his Ph.D. research in Design, at the Faculty of Architecture of Lisbon, focused on the development of a method to configure and assess adaptive public lighting. A co-design process with the objective of designing more sustainable public lighting solutions, that balance the user well-being, lighting quality and energy consumption. Author of several published scientific papers and participation in national and international conferences, notably the 8th International Conference on Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics - AHFE 2017 in Los Angeles, USA, the 4th Professional Lighting Design Conference 2013 in Copenhagen, Denmark and The Tao of Sustainability: an International Conference on Sustainable Design Strategies in the Globalization Context in Beijing, China. He is a member and Executive Director of the UNIDCOM-IADE – Universidade Europeia research unit. His current research interests are sustainable design, co-design and technology. His main research interests are sustainable design; co-design; lighting; technology (in general, and robotics and digital control system, in particular); statistics. General skills are lighting design; teaching; industrial and graphic design; modeling and prototyping; digital modeling and photography.
