My name is Cecília, and I am an architect and urban planner who graduated from UNICAMP in 2024.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have built a solid foundation in teamwork, executive detailing, and project leadership. I have advanced proficiency in BIM software, which I use to develop and bring architectural ideas to life. My practical experience includes extensive exposure to architectural reading gained through internships, as well as a natural aptitude for learning new software, enabling me to tackle challenges with flexibility and agility.

Since 2024, I have been dedicated to creating architectural visualizations, combining technical expertise with artistic sensitivity to push the boundaries of architectural representation. I strive to convey emotions and concepts through visual compositions that capture the essence of each project.

wooden high school

The High School project represents a utopian proposal to address the shortage of public schools that prioritize spatial quality, comfort, and student well-being, integrating innovation into both the pedagogical program and architectural form. The project embraces innovation on multiple fronts: modern, well-equipped environments designed to foster experimentation and creative exploration; classrooms tailored to participatory pedagogical principles, promoting a welcoming and personalized learning experience that respects each student’s pace and process; spaces featuring organic forms and biophilic elements that evoke nature and encourage students’ well-being and creativity. The choice of wood as the predominant material is based on its thermal comfort and bioclimatic performance qualities, as well as its sustainable role in carbon sequestration. This approach also introduces students to emerging, environmentally responsible construction methods, contributing to their education in sustainable practices.

mem residence

The MEM Residence, located in the interior of São Paulo, was designed with a mixed structure, spread across two levels to distinguish the social spaces from the private ones. The strategically placed sunbreak on the facade creates rhythm for the house, establishing a dynamic interplay between light and shadow.

The architectural design harmonizes two large functional blocks arranged vertically: on the ground floor, the social and service areas are located, while the upper floor houses the private spaces.

The social block, clad in “muxarabi” panels, seamlessly integrates with the pool, offering a memorable panoramic view. On the second floor, where the bedrooms are located, an outdoor garden was created. Facing the rear of the house, this secluded space serves as a retreat dedicated to contemplation and connection with nature.

museum of brazilian modern architecture

The Museum of Brazilian Modern Architecture is located in the central region of São Paulo, surrounded by various cultural programs, including the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Museum of the Portuguese Language, and the Casa da Luz. However, these cultural sites are situated across from a busy avenue, which makes pedestrian access challenging.

To address this issue, an urban intervention is proposed to enhance walkability and create a stronger connection between these cultural centers. The plan includes reducing the number of vehicle lanes, adding bike lanes, planting green medians, and creating a raised pedestrian path. This intervention establishes a cultural axis that guides pedestrians from the metro exit to the Museum, linking it to the Parque da Luz.

The access to the museum is further improved through adjacent streets and tree-lined pathways, as well as the opportunity to linger in the plazas located on the ground floor of the Museum.

vila paula community center

The Vila Paula Community Center, located in Campinas, São Paulo, is a project designed to promote social and cultural cohesion within the Vila Paula community. Its circular form symbolizes the unity among the different ethnic and social groups, with a large multifunctional hall that hosts activities such as community meetings, local celebrations, art exhibitions, and emergency shelter.

Surrounding the main hall, a series of classrooms and communal spaces offer a wide range of activities for residents. From promoting art and culture to encouraging sports participation, the rooms house workshops in art, cooking, dance, martial arts, and other activities, providing opportunities for learning and personal development for all ages.

Additionally, the Vila Paula Community Center features two major sports facilities: a multi-purpose court and a skatepark, which promote physical activity and foster integration among the community’s youth. Outdoor plazas provide spaces for recreation and socializing, offering areas for leisure and relaxation for local residents.
