ALMADA, Portugal
Born in Lisbon, 24 years old, young architect recently graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Lisbon. I dream. In this imaginary and poetic life, an adventure awakened by a reverie. A reverie moved by the strength and ambition that was formed during the academic course, trough the constant search for a creative and imaginary sense of what can be designed and projected. A reverie that explores the future of our Utopia Island. A brave new world… Jose Pedro Serra

Water Reverie.


Between the Real and Imagined Ideal

Water Reverie.


Between the Real and Imagined Ideal
We live in an imagined present and look forward to an idealized future.

Type of project
  • Systemic changes

We’ve been watching devastating realities, where countless people and animals lose their lives trapped by the fire and smoke. An undesirable landscape.

Therefore, having the problem of forest fires, this observation consists an opportunity to (re)think a sustainable element, born from an imaginary awakened, capable of minimizing risks and triggering means of prevention.
The idea presented is devoted to the investigation of utopian thought, as a moto for change and a generator of new concepts, places, and practices imagined in a flawless future.
An idea capable to interact with the environment, collect water to create raining clouds, in order to restrict the danger.
The contact between liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen would cause the formation of rain clouds. Also, drones, with gps satellite systems, could throw sodium iodide into the clouds to accelerate the rain process.

This desire to imagine the future is born of the need to innovate the present.
We are made of dreams.


A reverie born from a dream

Deep and mysterious,
light and transparent,
water will supply fire trucks to reduce the danger

A seed from heaven.
Natural and feared,
purifying and liberating.
Daughter of the clouds and creator of the storms.

born from the ashes
a cloud
creates a reverie
