Transfluence

The intention was to design a studio for a writer to stay on the island to devote himself to literary composition.

The project is inspired by the principles of the hydrographic flow of water, according to which it leaves the mountainous landscape circling in through different streams to finish your run in the ocean.

02 Varanda products 2016 Located in Rio de janeiro, Brazil Project: RUA Arquitetos Draftperson: Alana Pacheco Software: AutoCad | Illustrator

Appropriation of spaces in the city

drastically shifted during the last seven years—the lower middle class has increased by 40 million people and now represents the largest segment of the population.

Varanda Products is a joint initiative by the MAS Urban Design of ETH Zurich and RUA Arquitetos, Rio de Janeiro, for the Uneven Growth exhibition at MoMA New York.

Inspired by the self-construction processes in Rio’s favelas, the team developed a series of products - Varanda Products - dedicated to stimulating new forms of appropriation of spaces in the city, whether public or domestic.

The ideas were presented at MoMA through a 12-meter long panorama of the city, entirely drawn in cad.

In Rio, 60 per cent of favela residents now belong to this emerging middle class.

As Rio becomes a middle-class city, the government and prevailing economic system are transforming the city into a setting for market-driven development.

However, the discontent of large portions of the population—demonstrated by recent protests against the FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics—expresses the gap between the aspirations of an emerging consumer class and the lack of urban equality.

The Cariocas (Rio’s inhabitants) have always found ways to appropriate and subvert their built environment through puxadinhos— add-ons to existing structures made from leftover materials.

‘Varanda Products’ accommodate the logic of the market in order to transform it.

“Unevenness is a dominant feature of Rio de Janeiro’s urban landscape, making it exemplary of Brazil’s reputation as an unequal country. Extreme topography confronts the city with nature and the division between rich and poor neighbourhoods is articulated in asfalto (official city) and morro (favelas).

Yet this strong polarization is about to change, as Brazil’s income distribution has 16

03 Paraty Farm 2016 Located in Paraty, Brazil Individual Work Software: Archicad |Photoshop | Illustrator

A Vision for a Collective Holiday Farm Aiming to activate the creative potential in the community through a participatory process, which on the one hand identifies values, identity, needs and dreams. On the other hand, it establishes a proposal, who reads the site from an attitude formed by affirming the building’s values and combining them in a time-phased vision for a transformation of the barn buildings, creating new spaces that are suitable for today’s needs and tomorrow’s dreams.

This project works with the transformation of the dream of collective ownership within a micro-community, in the collective summer house and its old farm, surrounded by green areas in Paraty. The main challenge is centred on the need for more flexible spaces, as the commitment and purpose are constantly changing.

The main idea is to create a better spatial relationship between the private sector and community spaces. At the same time, it strengthens the qualities of nature for the built environment. I transformed a barn and created an architectural structure to open the community to ongoing social and cultural activity.

The old farm was purchased in 2010 as a holiday property for 410,000 seconds and contains 6 buildings and a small road to the main road.

The outdoor space and use centre around the fireplace in the middle of the patio with the small outdoor kitchen at the back of the pump house. Most of the trees on the site are old fruit trees.

A vision for a transformation of barn spaces would also, in this sense, create the framework for community transformation and could create an enduring commitment to the transformed spaces. My starting point is a transformation of the large barn building towards finding a program to use it more and thus preserve it, but I want to be able to move to or include the small barn as my investigation continues.

04 Forms of Reciprocity 2017 Located in Rio de janeiro, Brazil Collaborated with: Richard Maman |Workshop FAU Software: Sketchup |Photoshop | Illustrator

Sleeping Lodges Forms of Reciprocity are interpreted as the catalyst for the symbiotic relationship between people, the Brazilian landscape and the architecture. Regarding the delicate subject matter of building in nature, the project intends to challenge the critical perception of this, showcasing a new and sympathetic way of constructing architecture within the Brazilian landscape.

continues inside and through the interior space of the architecture and out in the other end of the lodge, where you face the exterior and the beautiful landscape.

The project is reintegrating nature and architecture as one joint culture, where the architecture is the tool facilitating human interplay with nature in a humble and respectful way. Defined as The Rest, five sleeping lodges are placed out in the landscape, either located by the riverside along Tijuca or in the forest landscape on the hillside.

The windowopenings are framing existing natural phenomena from different positions within the space.

A small kitchenette is provided in the lodges, making it possible for guests who prefer a private atmosphere, to prepare small meals and hot drinks.

The structure has a strong relationship between the interior and the exterior, drawing the eye of the guest towards intriguing views and perspectives outside.

Close to a seating niche, a wood-burning oven is centered in the space to provide heating, if desired. Based on the concept of reciprocity, the design of the lodges pay attention to the surrounding landscape, biodiversity and animal life as the architecture is elevated from the ground, creating access for travelers, arriving from land or on water.

Each lodge is designed from a common principle, but adapted to the site-specific landscape, shaping them differently.

Three of the lodges can accommodate two guests, while the two remains can accommodate four guests. Following the path leading you to the lodge, the journey

05 A Place to Be 2017 Located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Collaborated with: Gautier Lamarca Software: Sketchup |Photoshop | Illustrator

transition between the artist’s everyday life and his place of creative escape of living areas and extroverted volumes of workshops was created.

Located in Gávea is an affluent residential neighbourhood located in the South Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The housing stack inside a wooden box and hanging metal artists studios allow the launch of green space on the sides of the building.

The land is located on an important slope that offers a remarkable view of the mountains and lakes.

This extension outdoors, therefore, offers an unusual place of exchange among artists.

In the heart of an urban area, in a bubbling cultural location, the countryside aspired to house the work of three artists.

The layout of the accommodation according to the slope of the terrain gives everyone the orientation towards the panorama mountainous.

Bringing these together through a series of vertically orchestrated accommodations therefore, it became the cornerstone of design.

The double wooden envelope allows to welcome housing and separate it from the street thanks to a series of slats acting as a filter.

The project, therefore, evokes the aspect of transition between the artist’s daily life and his creative escape.

To do this, a fit between introverted volumes

My starting point is a transformation of the large barn building towards finding a program to use it more and thus preserve it, but I want to be able to move to or include the small barn as my investigation continues.

The project was a place of maximum relaxation, an interruption of the hectic daily life. The establishment in the withdrawal must induce a procession, a disconnect in the face for life as it appears in an urbanized environment.

Pull your inspiration in the principles of the tactile journey itself in hydrotherapy, the project aims to attract everyone stimuli thanks to the intrinsic qualities of the place.

“Hapticity” consists of a Nordic spa resort within an environment subject to the typical climate of Newfoundland.

Eternal spectator of the great currents sailors, this place of therapeutic wandering welcomes visitor of the boreal vegetation cover. a small flaw in the outer envelope invites you inside a frame organic and curved, general shape encouraging movement, formal and tangible reinterpretation of the movement water fluid.
