Currently our team has 50 student members, not only from the Faculty of Architecture but from other different faculties we accomplished.

He has been invited by the Portuguese team, but he had the time and patience to visit three more houses, that's how he arrived to us in the afternoon. But while he was in the houses he took pencil in his hand and draw only one house: that was the Odoo.
