ABOUT







Exemplo Books is a Lisbon-based publisher founded by architects Roberto Soares (ZA) and Diogo da Graça (PT). 
We aim to foster a dynamic relationship between artists, editors, and researchers by publishing books that explore the critical  intersection of art, architecture, and thought. 
Our works encourage authors to engage with their references and the broader cultural landscape, promoting dialogue across  disciplines and offering new perspectives on contemporary issues.
