To whom it may concern,
Bruno Armando Gomes Marques, PhD Professor and architect by Universidade Lusíada do Porto, Portugal,

It gives me great pleasure to write a letter of recommendation in support of Diana.
I have known her since 2009, which I followed quite liking the development of her master's thesis that
contains a recognized project made by her, at an architectural national contest and reports issues related to
sustainability in architecture.
After finishing the master’s thesis, Diana made the professional internship for Portuguese Architects Order at
my office Urban Core. She worked largely under my supervision, at health, arts, and culture facilities. She
also collaborated at my recent office at Dubai – Magos Design, in a residential project.
As an Architectural Designer, she’s a fast learner and she was extremely eager to learn all she could about
each projects which we worked and I found her interest and commitment to her work are noteworthy. She is
focused, worked well with the fellow colleagues and is a motivated individual. She is able to work efficiently
in handling simultaneous deadlines and to produce a consistent high standard of work even under extreme
work pressure.
Diana works tirelessly to master a range of technical skill, whether in Building Information Modelling (BIM)
platform, advanced 3D modelling, parametric design studies, or digital rendering. She has a special interest
in generative computational design and successfully help the team solve a number of design issues
efficiently in our projects. She is also very skilful in presenting her ideas, often produce effective study
models.
One main aspect about Diana as professional is her capacity to create, the passion for architecture and
willingness to constantly acquire new knowledge.
I recommend Diana highly to pursue a higher level of education and I am certain she will give evidence of
her higher skills.
