Monade is an independent platform founded by architects, dedicated to research, curation, and publishing. They specialize in creating exquisite books on architecture, photography, art, and thought. With a strong international presence, Monade distributes its books in renowned bookstores worldwide, including Museum Pompidou Paris, Tate Modern London, ICA London, CCB Barcelona, and many more.

In addition to publishing, Monade also establishes partnerships for events and exhibitions with esteemed institutions like the Chicago Architecture Biennial, Canadian Centre for Architecture, and The Venice Architecture Biennale. Based in Lisbon, Monade is founded and managed by architects Daniela Sá and João Carmo Simões. Monade believes in the power of books as a medium to express complex contents and relations, emphasizing the significance of silence within a book in our fast-paced world.

They work closely with architects, artists, and writers to create innovative books that push the boundaries of form and thought. Each book is meticulously crafted to foster connections across disciplines and materials, expanding the possibilities of thought. The name Monade derives from the Greek word for unit and represents a simple and irreducible substance, an autonomous entity fusing spirit and matter.

Drawing inspiration from this concept, Monade aims to provoke thought and construct itself as a monade in an ever-evolving constellation of ideas.
