An associate of Forensic Architecture and a 2018-2019 researcher at the CCA, Tavares founded studio autonoma in 2017 with the aim of decolonizing architecture through research and initiatives in urban contexts. Research that traverses territories, social geographies, and multiple expressive means, often straddling multiple disciplines, like their important work on the rights of the non-human, in particular forests, or on the conflicts engendered by the violence of planning in the Amazon. All open to ‘reparative architecture’, a practice that makes more intelligent, respectful ways of living in the Anthropocene possible.
