I'm a Brazilian-born Architecture Student and Researcher currently in my fifth, and final year at Syracuse University's School of Architecture. On top of my Bachelor of Architecture, I have also completed a Minor in Geography at Syracuse's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs.

At Syracuse University I spent a semester abroad in New York City, where I learned about Urban Systems and Problems, and first engaged with Real Estate Development from a theoretical perspective to a full project development and financial analysis.

My undergraduate thesis looks at the typology of the data center and how one might start to redefine what these environmentally detrimental, yet inevitable, black boxes can be, to create productive technological systems.

My professional interests lie primarily in residential and hospitality - such as restaurants, stores, cafes, and bars - design. linkedin.com/in/jelleryl/ issuu.com/joaopedroelleryoliveira www.instagram.com/ellery_arch/

PROJECT STATEMENT Zipcode 90008, Crenshaw is an unapologetically black community that is also known as the heart of African American Commerce in LA. Filmed in Crenshaw, John Singelton’s oscar-nominated film Boyz n the Hood released in 1991, illuminated how life in the ghetto had been cheapened by a toxic cocktail of racism, poverty, violence, and substance abuse while also emphasizing the insidious threat of gentrification to the community. Today in 2020, Crenshaw and Black people all over America continue to face systemic racism and marginalization and as a result, black communities continue to suffer immensely. The lack of change and support from the American government, institutions, and wealthy, prove that the elite of our country still “ don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood.”

Our project aims to become an exuberant and indelible canvas for the projection of black culture, joy, and pride for the community of Crenshaw. Equipt with a data center, education center, and low-cost residential living,this project aspires to provide an energy to the community that will empower its residents and youth.

PROJECT STATEMENT This project explores structural, material, and building systems tectonics in the context of a church's community center in south side Syracuse, NY. The main intention is to pay homage to the Bishop Robert Winston by connecting his Jamaican heritage with his life in Syracuse. We do so by investigating different techniques of winterizing tropical design motifs and materials to suit the climate and environment in Syracuse.

In order to preserve privacy and noise pollution in the neighbourhood, the building is buried underground. Large concrete shells span across the site enclosing the gym spaces. While the structure aims to articulate the extension of program to the site below, it also references Jamaican modern architecture seen in the National Stadium in Kingston (1962).

We focused on the local materials which are used in the architecture of both Jamaica and Syracuse and separated them based on programmatic function, in this case stone and concrete for larger public spaces, and wood for more private and intimate spaces.

PROJECT STATEMENT This project proposes (claims) "fourth nature" as systems that address inevitable technologies that are harmful to its surrounding ecosystems by turning them into environmentally productive infrastructures and networks.

A data center’s functions are essential to our current society that more and more relies on technologies and automation to function.

While there is development and growth in data infrastructures surrounding connectivity and storage capacities, these warehouse facilities are extremely detrimental to our environment.

We thus find ourselves in a dilemma as a society, where we need more of these buildings, yet they come at a large environmental cost to our environment.

In order to address both the inevitability of the data center typology in our built environment, as well as how to tame this industrial beast into a more environmental productive, and integrated system, this project will attempt to integrate a data center facility with the now-capitalist-influenced Mezcal industry in Oaxaca, Mexico.

PROJECT STATEMENT

Weaving homes combines the housing needs of NYC with the retail and service needs of Mott Haven, Bronx. Located in what is currently a police tow-pound, our project will be sharing the lot with the new Bronx-based prison. Weaving Homes is divided into 3 spines, separating the housing units from the different public spaces and social services.

The residences are found across 10 floors on the street-facing spine. Housing units are found between the weaving circulation that provides spaces for unexpected interactions with neighbours.

These spaces are meant to be appropriated by the residents and used to engage with other neighbours to foster a close-knit community.

When selecting an apartment, residents are given a catalog of three initial floor plans to choose from.

These plans have different areas, to best serve different household sizes, however all units include an exterior space in which they can progressively expand into. The goal is that with time, property owners will have the agency to build additional rooms and incrementally expand their apartments into the exterior space, and through that process add value to their properties. The adaptable furniture given in the initial units allows for residents to be the agents of their home and offers the possibility to change or customize the program of each room.

Concrete + Steel Training School

PROJECT STATEMENT

This project explores the design of a concrete manufacturing + steel wielding school in the Syracuse Skytop Quarry site. The focus of the studio was on landscape manipulation within physical, historical, and programatic contexts of the site.

My project focuses on the relationship between natural and man-made ruins over time. It develops the relationship between pedestrians and school-users, as well as landscape and man-made interventions.

The project is divided in three narratives that are in play with each other.

1) The first narrative focuses on the school and its users understanding the activities and history that occured on the site. To do so the building is lodged underground following markings of human “ruins”.

2) Upon emerging from the tunnels, the students are struck with light as they find themselves in a large, open workyard. This space is focused on the physical learning experience and is divided in smaller sections for different activities. These spaces are mobile and can extend into the classrooms dug into the earth.

3) The second narrative is a consequence of the human activity on the site where the pedestrians want to uncover the land to reveal the workings of the school. This mirrors the history of the site and the back and forth between human and natural ruins that cover and uncover each other.

PROJECT STATEMENT VERTIGO is a rooftop intervention aiming to further connect communities through a multipurpose housing and commercial project.

Targeted for students and local residents, VERTIGO connects students of all ages and backgrounds in a megastructure hovering over an existing residential block in the Financial District of New York City.

This project was approached through an indepth analysis of shared housing (Airbnb) and the manner in which spatial agents and arrangements were used and designed to achieve different qualities. From working with these agents, the research then looked at the urban fabric of New York City and investigated unused urban spaces and different ways those spaces could be explored.

Upon combining the Airbnb spatial analysis with the unused urban spaces, the city of NY was then seen through the lenses of demographics, zoning, surroinding program, and building codes. Ultimately these analyses lead to VERTIGO, a public and residential extension of a contextualized block into a hovering

OUTHOUSE Syracuse, NY, USA Fall 2018 PROGRAM Tiny House

PROJECT STATEMENT This project aims to design a tiny home for a chosen climate with the goal of compacting architectural components of a home, while understanding building systems tectonics and building performance.

This minature house is an advanced iteration of the common house typology. It combines the main ideas of space, circulation and light.

The facade of the house is designed using two different layers, a kinetic wooden surface, and the interior shell which is made out of a thicker layer of timber. The exterior shell moves along a railing revealing the windows in the interior layer, which controls the amount of sunlight that is allowed into the house.

The two large window panes on either side allow for the user to feel connected to nature.

The interior of the house is separated into private and common spaces, which allow for the user to have their own personal space in the small structure.

CASA KAVAMOTO Brasilia, Brazil Fall 2020

FREELANCE WORK

The following work displays final renderings for a freelance project worked on with MARINA FONTANA. This work was designed by Marina and 3d modeled and rendered by myself. We completed the work from two different continents (South America and North America) throughout the Fall semester. Marina would send me CAD files for plans, sections, and elevations, and I would 3d model them on Rhino 3D, then proceed to add materiality, lighting, furniture, vegetation, and background elements on Lumion. The project itself is a single family home in Brasilia and they requested the redesign of their facade, childrens' bedrooms, and backyard pool area.
