The studio’s work consists of research focused on developing architecture centered on the learning process through empirical knowledge. Over the past decade, the atelier has created works in various fields and scales, including research, academic teaching, curation and construction design projects in collaboration with students. These include permanent and temporary pavilions, home renovations, architectural transformations, and public competitions. The two founders, João Quintela and Tim Simon-Meyer have been invited to develop workshops at various universities and architecture and art festivals, which earned them awards such as the Enor Prize for Young Architects, the ARQUIA Innova Award (2022) for innovation, and reached the final stage of the Wissenhof Architektur Förderpreis competition. João Quintela was born in Lisbon in 1986. After completing a master’s degree at Autónoma University of Lisbon he received a grant from the Portuguese government to work abroad, choosing the architecture studio of Pezo von Ellrichshausen in Concepción, Chile, where he first met his future partner, Tim Simon-Meyer. Several years later, during Tim’s exchange year at the University of Lisbon, they decided to experiment with several projects and together built the Kairos Pavilion, which served as the starting point for their collaboration on a number of projects that led to the establishment of Atelier JQTS (composed of the initials of their names). Meanwhile, João pursued his doctorate in Madrid while teaching under Alberto Campo Baeza, who was his doctoral advisor. Several years later, he returned to Portugal, initially to teach drawing with Portuguese artist Carlos Nogueira, and subsequently to teach subjects closer to design and construction. Tim Simon-Meyer, who studied in Berlin, returned to Germany as an assistant to Professor Uta Graff at the University of Munich before returning to his hometown of Hamburg to begin his doctorate and teach architecture alongside Professor Matthias Ballestrem. Today, Tim serves as a professor in Bochum and Weimar in Hamburg, where he mentors students in the planning and actual construction of projects, some of which are presented later in this article.
