EDUCATION

Restaurant and Offices year:

size: 2.000m2 site: Largo da Ordem, Curitiba, BR

The second year studio ended with this project, the first exercise to explore a complex topography relation and to be inserted on a historical site to project a restaurant and a type plan on the same building.

The solution was placing the restaurant on the floor plan and dividing it on several levels that can be accessed through the slope.

The selection of the materials was made so as to reveal two sides of the same project. During the day, the white base establishes a relation with the surrounding buildings and the upper glass doors close and the offices light up and create urban lighting.

Row-House

This project was developed in the context of the third year architecture studio. Conceived as a series of town residences, Schiller Row-House combines clear form with continuous indoor/ outdoor spaces. The house is lifted from the floor to create a physical and visual connection between the back patio and the park across the street.

To create an identity for each house, the facade is built on modulated panels that can be arranged with different colors and textures.

The structure basically places a concrete wall on the sides of the house, leaving the floor plan free and flexible.

This project was designed during the third year architecture studio. It represents the new and the old, the ludic and rational.

To attach the existing building to the new auditorium some connection elements were designed to link both of them. The old building became the atrium for the new one. To reflect its new character, a red floor was used to impact on the first space and lead to the entrance of the second. The connection is made through a lifted bridge that leaves the ground floor free to maintain and respect a natural pedestrian flow on the site.

Carlos Gomes Square year: 2010 size: 900m2 site: Curitiba, BR

This project was developed for the fourth year landscape design studio. The aim was making a new proposal for Carlos Gomes Square, an old Curitiban Plaza, mainly used today as bus terminal. So the intention was to stay true to its identity and implement facilities for the plaza to be recognized as a high quality open terminal.

The first move was to create a roof using 7

the new floor design was drawn based on all possible pedestrian flows that the square was able to generate. Finally, on the empty nodes, new elements such as the reflecting pool and benches were placed Thus, the new proposal was possible without removing any of the existing trees.

The aim of this project, designed during the fourth year architecture studio, was to deal with an unknown program and distribute it based on the creation of structure modules.

The module should be conceived to match offices regarding the different solar conditions and the necessary skin to filter the light.

The proposal is a patio disconnected from the ramps leading to the top of the building. The spaces that could not be on the modules, such as large conference rooms, are placed in the middle of the patio.

Mixed Use Building year: 2011 size: 5.400m2 site: Curitiba, BR.

This was the last project of the architecture studios. A site and two facades, an urban gallery. To organize the complex program into the plot , an inside street was developed, dividing the block in two. The building was split into two different volumes, assimilating similar functions and privacy needs. On one side, commerce on the ground and habitational units in the top floors benefit from the east insulation. On the other, a library and an art gallery can be found.

Between both sides, floating over the inside street, is the black box auditorium.

Thus, the public and private access to the auditorium is made separate, each through a different building.

This proposal was made to show the people what architecture is and what the architect does.

With video media, interviews and images, 37 totems were conceived. They will be distributed to each Brazilian state, which will be able to place it in a public space, making the content available for everyone.

Currently, the project is under analysis at the Brazilian Ministry of Culture and is expected to be implemented in 2013.

Olympic Park Masterplan year: 2011 size: 26.000m2 site: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

believe that this project should give rise to the desire to portray the meeting of art and technique, so well expressed in the synthesis by architecture and sport.

As an articulation of the project, a great pedestrian area forms the central axis of the project, which distributes and integrates its several components.

Marked by light and especially designed playful iconic places, it is the symbolic and material expression of the gathering of people, culture, arts; a cultural kaleidoscope, a reflex of a city that has among its symbols a sculpture that welcomes all with open arms, and that annually promotes, with incomparable joy, one of the greatest shows

Kora Housing year: 2010-2012 site: Angola, Africa.

The aim of this project was not only designing a housing concept, but transforming it into the beginning of a city. A livable, workable and pleasant space to live and work. After many years of Civil War, it is a great opportunity to start again, to make new life where there is none and to create cities from nothing.

Designed in all scales, from the detailing of the houses to urban planning, it is a intentions for a better housing condition.

UPTO35 year: 2009 size: 32.000m2 site: Athens, Greece

In a historic city, the lack of the new leads to inherent issues in its growing process, as its urban relations have been pre-established and often have not been reviewed.

In search of creating different events, this project proposes a collaborative planning, capable of

generating a fluidity and permeability in the urban plan and thus modifying the existing grid. This is possible through increasing public areas, in which the sum of the unoccupied areas create larger spaces, new relationships between buildings, and even greater natural light potential.

Brasilia, 50 years from now. The location of the site is the meeting point of the city axis - south and north wings - and the monumental axis. On this site, there is a station that today holds the bus terminal which will be used by the underground, the light-weight train, and the bus.

The proposal was to create a big plaza on the top and concentrate all the facilities that used to be under the overpass. Thus, there would be more space on the bottom and the original building structure could be apparent again. The top would be a mixture of a plaza and facilities, in a lively place with commercial spaces.

Unipampa Campus year: 2011 size: 7.000m2 site: S. do Livramento

Education has the power to transform society.

The new Unipampa attachment is located at Santana do Livramento, a city which holds a large amount of Brazilian historical heritage buildings.

The intervention is made on a building that was slowly constructed as a patio, a collage made in different moments.

To make this patio concept stronger, the proposal was to lower the ground

floor, making a new level with a better connection to the city. After, the new building follows and completes the existent occupation design, benefiting from the perimeter and being the filter between interior/exterior.

The aim of this competition was to make an old big house and its plot into an open park in the city of Recife.

The first move was breaking the existing walls and revealing to the people what was hidden inside for many years. The next was revealing a river design and using it as the new barrier to draw the limit of the site.

After the soil that was taken from the river is relocated to the side of the plot as a slope to

the minimal habitation solution, taking sustainability, functionality, quality and cheapness into consideration.

Brazil has a great habitation deficit, families living in dangerous places, close to rivers and favelas. The habitation model used today just makes this reality stronger, making the life unhealthy and unsafe.

The prefab came as a solution to the social housing, as its standards for quality and reproduction can fill the basic needs.

This proposal presents a deep study on the theme and solves the issue with 52 sq. meters per apartment with 3 bedroom, complying with traditional Brazilian needs.

Campus Cabral UFPR year: 2012 size: 22000m2 site: Curitiba, BR

Campus is not only a new building or an architecture project, but the search for a new interpretation of student values, dynamics and life. The growth of this institution leads to a natural demand for its physical expansion, the increase in its capacity to welcome new minds and ideas, perpetuating its progress. The architecture here must be the landmark of this progress in time and its materialization on the field. competitions

This Pavilion is the result of the Entre Escalas workshop which I took part at PUC University, Curitiba. Organized by Atelier UM+D, aimed to design on the kids scale, a pavilion where they could play and discover space. The conceptual images on the left reffer to our team sketch proposal and the photos to the built result using digital fabrication techniques.

Photography

As an architecture student I had many times used photography to express and register my space perceptions. As I start the first opportunity to use this abilities on a professional manner.

The upper photograph shows a exhibition for the Brazilian Biennial of Design where I could print 35 of my photos to show his work.
