He graduated in architecture in 1955, at the former School of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, the current FAUP – Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto. He completed his first built work (four houses in Matosinhos) even before ending his studies in 1954, the same year that he first opened his private practice in Porto.

Cease Fire

by: Christina Aguilera

Yeah, yeah, yeah
In glory a soldier I stand till the end
A golden revolver I hold in my hand
The trigger that I never squeeze
The war that brings me to my knees
I'm tired of fighting for peace
When I am alone on the frontline
I need you to stand next to me
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, weapons, weapons
I'm on your side, your side, your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
Drop down your defences I'm raising my flag
This fighting is hopeless we need this to end
It's going too far don't now where it began
We're hurting each other and I can't pretend
I'm trying to help you to see
The casualties that we both lead
It's all so unnecessary
Can't you hear me scream
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, weapons, weapons
I'm on your side, your side, your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
Cease fire make it stop
Uh uh uh ooh
Uh uh uh ooh
Uh uh ooh
Uh uh oooh
Rolling out
White flag I surrender
Screaming out
Make it stop
We can do better
Pain and hurt
Living in fear
Wasted energy
In the end
What is it worth?
What is our legacy?
Follow me now
I'm gonna announce
Somebody hurt me
I need you now
Why can't you see
Got to believe me
Fighting for peace
Here release
Won't you relieve me
I'm on your side
Swallow your pride
You can confide in me
Army afoot
Rise of the sun
Shining for all to see
Enemy's left
Victory's won
No negativity
We can be free
Free as the king
Who won my destiny?
Baby cease fire, fire, fire
Throw down your weapons, weapons, weapons
I'm on your side, your side, your side
So please cease fire, fire, fire
