José Luís studied architecture in Porto. He finished both his Bachelor and Masters degree in Architecture at Escola Superior Artística do Porto (ESAP). In 2018, he completed his MSc in European Urban Studies at the Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany, where he was awarded the prize of best student of the year.
His academic interest focused on the impact of typology and street configuration on the evolution of cities. His dissertation research was centred on the impact of historic Master Plans on the urban system in order to understand the evolution of the city on the second half of the 20th century.
