Paula Nascimento is an architect and curator with degrees from the Architectural Association School of Architecture and from the LSB University in London.
Has collaborated with architecture studios in Oporto and in London before funding with Stefano Pansera Beyond Entropy Africa in 2011 – a research-based collective network that operates on the fields of architecture-urbanism-visual arts and geopolitics. Paula has also been a consultant on a variety of projects including the Angola Pavilion for Expo Milano 2015 and often collaborates with different artist institutions and collectives, both on the continent and abroad, and is a founding member of Colectivo Pés Descalços, a Luanda based multi-disciplinary collective developing projects in the cultural field.

Beyond Entropy is a research-based studio practicing architecture, urbanism and cultural analysis.
Beyond Entropy uses the concept of energy as a tool to conceive new forms of architecture beyond the rhetoric of sustainability and operates globally in situations of territorial crisis.
Beyond Entropy Africa focuses on Luanda as a paradigm for urban conditions in sub-Sahara Africa and has developed several research-based projects, from books to curatorial projects to cultural projects.
