Professional Career AAF professional career as Designer of Structures initiates in 1971, together with his lecturing at FEUP. In 1973, AAF interrupts his work as Structural Engineer to become a PhD student at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, in London, United Kingdom. His doctoral thesis in Structures is titled “Plastic analysis and synthesis of plates and shells by mathematical programming” and has influenced his work as a designer of structures, as it is shown in the conception and details of many of his buildings and bridges. In 1980 AAF restarts his work as structural engineer and in 1985 decides to create the structural engineering consulting firm AFA - Pedestrian and cycling Bridge over 2 nd Ring Road , in Lisbon, Portugal Adão da Fonseca e Associados – Consultores de Engenharia, which, – AAF is design coordinator of the multi-deck composite bridge in 1997, becomes AFA ssociados – Projectos de Engenharia, the spanning 50 m over the Ring Road, with AdF and Architects Telmo latter covering all fields of Civil Engineering. In both of them AAF is Cruz and Maximina Almeida – design completed in 2013 for Chairman of the Board of Administration and Chief Designer of Fundação GALP / Lisbon Municipality and construction finished in bridges and special structures. In December 2005, AAF leaves AFA 2015. and establishes ADÃO DA FONSECA - Engenheiros Consultores (AdF ) to focus in the design of bridges and special structures and to provide services of consulting and specialized advice in the Structural Engineering field. In 2012, together with the Spanish IDEAM and the Brazilian RMG, AAF launches the Brazilian firm ADEAM – Engenharia e Consultoria, devoted to the Latin-American Continent. Projects from 1985 until 2005 were designed together with AFA’s structural engineers; after 2005, projects were designed together with AdF’s or ADEAM’s structural engineers. Between 1992 and 2002, AAF takes also leading responsibilities in “Ordem dos Engenheiros” and in ECCE - European Council of Civil Engineers. In the former, AAF encourages specializations and inherent competencies and responsibilities within Civil Engineering. In the latter, at the General Meeting in Rome, Italy, in 2000, AAF draws up and gets approved unanimously the European Code of Professional Conduct for European Civil Engineers. 1 / 8 CURRICULUM VITAE of ANTÓNIO ADÃO DA FONSECA Pedestrian Bridge over the Carpinteira Brook , in Covilhã, Portugal – AAF is engineering design leader of the 220 m long sinuous and segmented steel footbridge, with AFA and in the team of Architect Carrilho da Graça – design completed in 2004 for the Municipality of Covilhã and construction finished in 2007.
