Luís Pedro Cruz, was born in Lisbon in 1959 (in fact, he never lived there,he lived in Moscavide the first years of life which he barely remembers. and then in Parede, which is clearly the place with which he identifies himself). He graduated in architecture but the drawing was always his great passion, eventually integrating him into his activity as an architect, both in the analytical and the design itself. This method of work is not alien to the passage at the beginning of his university education by the Higher School of Fine Arts of Porto that, at the time, was part of the architecture course and where the drawing was valued as work practice.
