Lisbon, Portugal

monade is a research, curatorial and publishing independent platform founded by architects dedicated to conceive and produce exquisite books on architecture, photography, art and thought.

We believe that the book is a strong medium to express complex contents and relations. We believe that the silence of a book is a powerful medium in accelerated times. Working in close relation with architects, artists and writers, we are committed to create innovative books, pushing its limits. Each book is created with a particular attention to its details and form, as an opportunity of gathering relations with different disciplines and materials, widening possibilities of thought. – Daniela Sá and João Carmo Simões (architects and founders of monade)
