Nanhai Art Center

2023-2024

Foshan, China

3D modeling, renders, parametric modeling, roof structure development and optimazation, Facade optimization, auditoriums development of a art center complex in Foshan at SD and DD phase 100% .

Planned as a public cultural complex of aproximately 120000sqm of designed area the Nanhai Art Center is designed to house programs that include an Opera, a Museum, a Muti-purpose hall, stores, and support areas at the first phase and a Sports center at the second phase.

The complex is located between two lakes in Foshan area, a highly developed area in the south of China, with humid, sunny and hot weather, and eventual typhon activity.

The form came locating the closed volumes of the Opera and Museum and utilizing a big roof to connect and create grey spaces on the upper levels. The grey spaces would have visual connection to the surrounding landscape and be protected from the elements by an ETFE membrane.

The roof concept came from a combination between the importance of the roof in traditional Chinese architecture and the concept of waves. It is the element that connects all the programs and which received a lot of attention, from its material, rain elements, photovoltaic panels, and structural optimization.

Land of Beilonghu

2022-2024

Zhengzhou, China

Facade optimization, 3D modeling, renders, parametric modeling of a luxury residential condominium in central China at the VMU (prototype) phase and SD phase.

The concept came from the Chinese garden. The buildings with their curved balconies would be as Chinese Pines in between the garden. Being one of the main point of design, the balconies were large, non regular, non symetrical, with heavy elements such as planters with double curvature surfaces that needed to appear luxurious and have easy mantainance.

An initial VMU was created as the proof of concept for the FRP material. It was analysed based on how it’s curvature behaved with water. After the FRP material and other elements, such as glazing gaps, rain drop, water collection, metal structure, etc. were developed, a script was created that would generate all the necessary elements of the hundreds of balconies from a few initial curves and allow the change during the design process.

Other facade elements of the residential buildings were also designed, following the same principles and relations of the balconies.

3D modeling, parametric modeling, conceptual development, renders, construction documentation drawings and geometry for execution of a temporary coffee machine flagship and it furniture.

The new coffee machine brand concept was strongly linked with enviromental concerns and a high technological aproach. Following this, the form came from the 5 petals coffee flower. It would be executed by digital fabrication methods. After a research of all the available 3D printing and CNC professionals in Brazil, one company was selected. The initial form was modeled do be 3D printed by a robotic arm. After many adjustments on the form, it was choosen that the components would be a series of gypsum shells layered on CNC cut high density foams, transported to the construction site and layered on top of a CLT structure.

3D modeling, parametric modeling, conceptual development, renders, construction documentation drawings of buildings and furnitures of a new headquarters for a brokerage company.

After the Covid 19 pandemic, the Brazilian brokerage company XP wanted to build a new headquarter outside the city, focused on less physical workstation and more quality worplace. This new headquarter was built in the countryside and was composed of a complex of office building, sport facilities, recetion, administrative building, parking lots and others.

Among many buildings the reception, urban furniture and a multiuse building was designed by myself. This last one was modeled parametricaly in order to function as a landscape building with openings functioning as windows and walls functioning as ceiling which could support an outside landscape. The structure was thought to be made of CLT beams and the dimention was designed together with the structural engineer.

12 Terra Tower

São

Paulo, Brazil

3D modeling, parametric modeling, conceptual development and facade design of a mixed use tower.

The concept of the tower came from mixing regional architecture with parametric and generative design, in order to create solutions that could be executed at the current level of the construction industry in Brazil, for a mixed-use skyscraper in São Paulo.

After the legislation analysis, a maximum construction volume was set. Balconies were created using a generative algorithm that would locate pre-dimensioned balconies on the façade. This was made in order to create the optimal biggest area of green balconies for the residential floors, for received sunlight. The balconies would sustain local plants and work as a natural cooling ventilation system for the building.

1. Form finding process;

2. Variations of typologies on each floor;

3. Generative algorithm creating balconies based on sun lightining; 4. Parametrization of the shopping area brick wall; 5. Final Renders.

São Paulo, Brazil

3D modeling, parametric modeling, renders, conceptual development, prototype development, construction documentation drawings, project and execution management of a showroom, administration and deposit building of a factory.

The budget was a big limitation, so uncoated materials with maximum possible functions were used.By proximity to a cargo area of trucks from the factory on the west facade of the building, a system of skin facade that would block the unpleasant sound of trucks and the excess of the afternoon sun light was thought. The arrangement of these bricks was made parametrically. By the low budget, a method to dispose the bricks through cardboard guides cut in laser cutters, whose profile was obtained parametrically from the virtual model. These guides were arranged along each row of bricks, supported by a shelf of wood cut on a CNC Router. Later the bricks would be layered by the traditional method by a traditional bricklayer, the cardboard guides would be discarded and the bookshelf would be moved to the side to be made a new section of the wall.
