Created in 1999 by colleagues from FAU-USP, the FGMF office was founded with the purpose of producing contemporary architecture, without restrictions on the use of materials, construction techniques, and scales.

There are no predefined or rigid formulas: with each challenge, they start from scratch and use design as a research tool to develop a new vision of buildings, objects, and cities. Formed by the trio Fernando Forte, Lourenço Gimenes, and Rodrigo Marcondes Ferraz, the firm has projects in several countries and has won national and international awards.
