Subverting the Typology

A very high water level, a parking lot space that occupies more than 4.000m2 and the zoning laws issues do not allow the design of an traditional typology which is based on basement and lower levels exclusive for parking and upper levels cointaining the office spaces.

The programmatic inversion locates parking lot in a neutral region withi the tower itself. At the same time concentrated areas of courses rooms and gallery spaces in a greater dynamic relationship with the general public at the tower’s base. Taking advantage of the best visuals towards the city, natural light and ventilation the work rooms are placed in the top of the tower.

Bridging Paraisópolis

PARAISÓPOLIS To understand the history of Paraisópolis it is needed

That is, as has been verified many times in the history

of São Paulo, public or private developments which had not

been completed eventually become abandoned regions. For this reason they became a call for informal occupation.

Today Paraisópolis complex is considered the sec-

ond largest favela in the city of São Paulo with 55,590 people

and 20,832 properties (officially), plus a network of civil institutions working in social projects within the community.

Paraisópolis is divided into 5 parts (Grotinho, Grotão, Brejo,

Antonico and Centro) and has two other adjacent favelas (Jardim Colombo and Porto Seguro) originated around the same time as Paraisópolis.

changed with great difficulty. Envelopes can be changed relatively easily.

Excess Heat Enabling Civic-ness

Zuiderdiep 98 in Groningen

Europan 12 finalist

With the shift from manufacturing to

(global) service industries, the challenge is to sustain local benefits from this re-alignment

while simultaneously marketing the city competitively. Telecommunication services and the

infrastructure for supporting a digitally ena-

bled society is a booming industry, at the core of which are the data-centers. With a young, creative demographic and a forward-looking entrepreneurial spirit founded on a strong

quality of living, Groningen is ideally suited to host data-centers. Sitting on an abundant and

relatively cheap power source, in a cool climate, on pre-existing fiber optic lines, and boasting

an institutional framework supporting internet

innovations (Internet Valley, Mediacentrale, GN-IX, and the Center for Information Technology at RuG), Groningen is poised to expand its digital presence.

A decisive and stand-alone desti-

nation program of an infrastructural nature which nonetheless leaves options open for its

neighbours is called for. Its’ fate ought not be tied to the north, but wager instead on the more likely success of the southerly SuikerUnie site.

Post-industrial and failing-retail sites are ideal

locations for new data-warehousing (Amazon has retrofitted a Food terminal as a data-center

in Dublin, Google a paper-mill in Norway, and Olivetti is exploring their viability in Turin). In the long-term it will form the nexus and hinge

between the west and south development parcels, and perhaps even engender an alternate

future for the failing furniture retail immediately north, making a virtue of its relative inaccessibility by retrofitting their shed-buildings as data-center annexes (Faltering retail outlets have been profitably converted to data-centers

with higher rent-income, notably by Sears and

Barns & Noble in North America). There is much to be gained by co-locating data-centers

with other uses. By plugging other uses into

the system, waste heat is capitalized upon, ef-

fectively creating a district heating system (In Vancouver Telus Communications has plugged

Jury Report

The idea of a large data centre, using the surplus heat for thermal baths, is more realistic than appears at first sight. Groningen would definitely benefit from an eye-catching building on this site, but the architecture needs to be of a much higher standard than represented here.

The plan is not suitable for a gradual development of the site.

Nova Biblioteca

2013, São Paulo, Brazil

A Estratégia de Densificar

In an Era that tends to be sceptical about the use

of collective spaces in the contemporary city and each person is more unique, exclusive and personalized than ever, the proposed library is a statement about its fundamental

and unique role as a building truly collective and public use.

The proposed library does not reinvent the tradi-

tional institution. Simply adapts it to new demands. Ceases to be true to the book and becomes concerned about

knowledge, independent of the way this is presented. The book frees space for collective use, but do not cease to exist.

The project densifies vertical/horizontal circu-

lations and services in a super-efficient core. The existent

pit for lighting and ventilation is maintained, however it

becomes a void that is now part of the building’s interior, a significant element that organizes the spaces.

The void divides the building into two larger

blocks. The front block will house the activities of collective

use, such as study rooms, administrative areas and workshops. These spaces were designed taking into account the

idea of ​​free plan, so their remodelling becomes very simple.

Any adjustments that need over the years can be easily implemented without changing the functional organization of the library as a whole. The same volume is subdivided into two parts. The bottom holds all administrative spaces

while the top ones are dedicated to students, teachers and the general public. The rear volume, in its turn, houses the

archive itself. It will be a fully automated block with nine stories high, using an automated library system (ALS).

The ground floor and the front part of the un-

derground will allocate spaces with public character such as the general service desk, gift shop, café, multipurpose

space and an auditorium for 100 people. The top terrace

will be holding a programless leisure area taking advantage of the magnificent views of the city.

The void that used to be a narrow courtyard which provides natural light and ventilation became a crucial organizing element bringing all the programs together. It also allows the automated archive to be seen from every point within the building. This type of archive comprises an immense collection using 1/7 of the space of normal shelves, liberating space for other activities.

The ground floor being itself as multifunctional spaces makes users aware of all the programs present in the building through different openings, void, glass floor, exposed elements (archive) and other strategic placed elements.

Different spaces of the library: typical study space, mediaroom, canteen, auditorium, all sharing the same features as visual porosity and flexibility.

The terrace placed at the top floor gives an singular opportunity to study, relax and organize events with an exclusive view towards São Paulo city’s center.

Ground Floor

Intermediate Pavilion

2013, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Tying Bonds between Symbolism, City scales and Users

The use of fabric curtains, instead of traditional rigid walls, allows users and air to penetrate through it without any major effort. It gives fluidity to the space at the same time giving borders to the object. There is no fixed entrance or exit, thus the pavilion can be accessed by any point.

SCALING UP THE OBJECT The pavilion will intermediate the scale of the Arcos da Lapa and the Square. The size required for the program had to be enlarged, thus allowing its critical mass to tie both scales.

SCATTERING GRAM

LANDSCAPING THE ROOF The implementation of a canopy allows the pavilion’s footprint to be bigger and, at the same time, not changing the dimensions of the programs which are floating underneath.

The shape of the roof has to do with the beauty of the sinuous natural landscape of Rio de Janeiro, as Niemeyer used to address in his works as being “the curves of the Brazilian women”.

The roof once read as a landscape has vegetation. The plants used are species commonly found at Burle Marx’s works, which has become a traditional image of the modernist Brazilian landscape.

BORDERING ION

necessary in a tropical city as Rio de Janeiro. It is composed by a set o smaller pieces, or “blades”, which can be assembled in loco.

This system is also really efficient for transportation.

The café’s floor is projected to the canopy creating a glass roof on top of it, in order to protect the users during rainy days and other undesired events. It also has photovoltaic cells which will generate power that will be used in the pavilion.

The blocks will follow the same material of the structure, wood painted in white.

The plaza where the pavilion is placed will be covered with artificial grass. The border lines will be exaggerated wider, comparing to what we would expect to find in a soccer field, in order to emphasize its limits. The screen and the lights, placed at the corners, give to the place the atmosphere of a soccer stadium.

PRO-

In order to not spatially oversize the program it had to be broken into different smaller blocks.

Each new piece can be read as a distinct pavilion, but all of them within a single shared container.

THE FIELD The last element is the field. It will transcend the boundaries of the object, working at the city scale.

TYING ELEMENTS Once all the basic elements (the scattered program blocks, the curtains and the canopy) are placed, they are all connected in order to originate the final structure. The canopy goes down around the program blocks generating the columns.

The floor of the café is elevated, becoming a solid block, which will work as the main foundation.

Its multicolor mixed pattern represents each country which will be playing the World Cup 2014.

PAVIL-

With the addition of side borders the object itself has become a container ready to receive a variety of programs. In addition to that a clear distinction between inside and outside is created.

STRUCTURE The structural grid made out of wood allows air to flow within the pavilion. It also works as a sun shading, which is something

EXPERIENCE

Trainee at

TomDavid Architecten,

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

(March 2011 - November 2011)

*Architecture - Development of new projects from the initial design until technical drawings.

‘Dwardesign’ at NAi Rotterdam

Design proposal for an inspiration room on top off an indispensable fire escape. A room with a view, overlooking the city of Rotterdam at a glance.

Unsolicited research and design proposal for the McDonalds pavilion on the Coolsingel, Rotterdam. Current position of the building is inevitable, due to a long-term leasehold contract. A strategic study by TomDavid was initiated with the following question in mind: is it possible to find a healthy mix between an architectural attractive solution and a much needed urban improvement on a programmatic and esthetic level.

‘The Netherlands - Off the shelf’ at NAi. Re-design of the exhibition-landscape

Design proposal for pool, convertible roof and sliding doors

Concept idea for an elegant + multipurpose poolcover. A light weight structure containing all around industrial curtains providing shade in the summer and a comfortable climate during the winter. In autumn the cover will also protect the pool from getting silted by leaves.
