He graduated at the Porto School of Fine Arts in 1961, trained in Sweden and Finland during the two following years as a fellow of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

In 1964, he was invited as assistant teacher at ESBAP and in 1979 he sat the public exams for tenured professor and passed, and in 1984 he became a teacher at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto as assistant teacher.

He began his professional career working with architect João Andresen and after working for several years with architects José Coutinho, Mário Ramos and José Lencastre, he opened a project office – Cristiano Moreira & Associados, Lda - Arquitectos –, working as general coordinator with the help of experts in the field of structures, electrical engineering, mechanics, hydraulics, acoustics, energy conservation systems, security and landscaping.

Cristiano Moreira had a wealth of experience in industrial architecture (car industry, mechanics, textiles and Food industry), especially in winemaking units which he designed for brands such as Aveleda, Borges, Cálem, Ferreirinha, Forrester and Sogrape. Some of his projects deserve to be highlighted, for e.g., Quinta do Seixo (2007), located in Valença do Douro and owned by Sogrape Vinhos since 1987, which earned him the prize "Best of Wine Tourism 2010" in the category "Architecture, parks and Gardens", as well as the Tourism Award of Portugal, in the category "New Private Project ", and the Douro Tourism Award, in 2009.
