Type: residential
Location:Rua de Venezuela, Lisbon, Portugal
Instructor: Pablo Sequero Barrera
2023
The project is located in a residential area in the north of Lisbon, Portugal. This area brings together residential models from different periods and styles of Lisbon, from traditional Portuguese houses to modernist dormitories. The living patterns of local residents have undergone tremendous changes in the past 100 years. Residents are often seriously ignored during this change and have become parameters envisioned by designers in advance.
Juhani Pallasma once said in the book: "People's design of residential layout naturally stems from people's first impression of their home." The residents' own awareness should be an important part of the residential design. This project reduces the architect's intervention in the space during the design phase by minimizing interior walls, retaining maximum spatial flexibility and autonomy within the house. The design encourages residents to participate in the design of their living spaces, spontaneously form communities and interact with their neighbors.
flexibility of the house
In order to create a freer plan in each unit, reduce the interior walls that originally divided functions as much as possible, leave more "undefined" space for residents, and return the power of house layout to residents. And as time goes by, the residents' projection of "home" can be expressed in different indoor layouts.
The ground floor negotiates urban conditions, the scale of public life and delineates the most generous of shared spaces within the building.The ground floor is designed as a transparent open platform, on which service facilities facing both the city and residents are arranged. The shared space on the ground floor provides a platform for gathering and interaction between the city and its residents.
The roof is designed as a multifunctional shared garden, providing residents with sunlight and green plants. The rooms on the roof have no specific functions and are open to everyone. People can freely occupy these spaces and change the functions of these rooms according to their own needs. The size of the room opening.

Our design treat preservation as a way of critiquing historical landmark and recovering lost opportunities offered by its spatial potential. We wanted to challenge that notion of tight enclosure by reactivating historically underused courtyards as friendly, secured urban interfaces for exposing East Village’s character. Instead of viewing landmark as a static of the past, it should be seen as an evolving entity for further development on missed opportunities. we envision tenement residents to reconvene on rooftops and balconies as they did 100 years ago and appreciates what the school offers for urban life. For this purpose, the gallery and community stage bookends the northern and southern streets, with gallery being a more formal, curated form of exposition and stage being a casual, down-to-earth flipped side of it. both the lounge and exhibition halls connects to archives and offices at the same level. Visitors must pass through a predetermined sequence of exhibition - archive - public space on each level, which blurs the boundary between what’s considered public and private. A sense of openness and democracy with LPC hearing meeting is emphasized throughout the design. Whether you’re inside archive, gallery, or meeting spaces, visual contact with the hearing hall is always maintained.

By exploring the social and historical context of Arborea, Sardinia, focusing on its transformation under Mussolini's regime time, urbanization and technology-driven agriculture have led to population decline and significant demographic shifts, locations has made it a key site for refugee migration, serving as both a transit point and a temporary haven. However, a self-sufficient living community on Arborea's underutilized land. While unappealing to locals, this land holds great potential
Our proposal introduces a "loop-by-loop" system, fostering a centripetal force to unite individuals from diverse cultural, thrive together by adding workshop, communal and assembling spaces. The construction manual book will be provided and the government.
The modularization way of building prioritizes cultural diversity, offering flexibility in design and avoiding the confinement the design, this community serves as a sustainable and harmonious solution to address the challenges of refugee integration

After studying the architectural typology on Sardinia, we discovered the migration and renewal of buildings around Sardinia. People built houses following the migration of sheep and moved and renewed them seasonally. The residents of these communities are generally herders, who adhere to the tradition of helping each other build and work during this migration process. The community exists in a continuously growing and vibrant way. We hope to dilute the fascist planning by reintroducing this traditional but vibrant architectural typology back to arborea, re-establish the relationship with nature for the local community, and revitalize the local community.
As one of the public facilities arranged in the center of the site, the "Earth Table" can serve as a bridge connecting residents on both sides of the site and a place for residents to gather and celebrate. The "Long Table" will try to draw the user's sight to the rice fields, bringing people closer to nature. And the modular design allows the building to change its shape according to needs.
At the center of the site are the workshop and the residents’ council. We hope to combine the two different typologies of the workplace and the council hall and find the possibility of coexistence. We hope that this combination can enhance the democracy of the building and promote equality in the community.
This is the manual we plan to distribute to refugees to guide them on how to build and expand their own homes. We hope to make architecture a collaborative production model, and the role of architects is more to "guide" participants to build. We hope that residents here can build their own future homes by themselves, returning the power of design and production to the community

When in use, the table top will be put down to become a gathering space according to needs.

After the industrial relocation and urban decline at the end of the 20th century, the industrial area in downtown Los supporting public spaces and service facilities are seriously lacking. Due to Los Angeles' special car traffic mode, the space based on human scale is extremely important for the lives of surrounding residents. This project is located on the rest and stay in this block by designing a public space to reconnect the city and the suburbs. This project includes urgently
The medical center is placed on the first floor to help people get medical help in the fastest form, while the adult skills center is placed on the third floor farthest from the street noise. These different functions are placed on a gradually rising two parts, one is the enclosed space formed by different blocks, and the other is the public space formed by the roof the public space formed on the top of these blocks.
In terms of appearance, the building adopts a wooden frame structure, which is between the solid wall and the completely boundary between the building and the community through this structure. People can easily penetrate from the community building space and the community space, and also makes the relationship between the inside and outside of the building
