Architectural project, education in architecture and writing; the three composers of my trajectory and enthusiasm.

Designing architecture is something that motivates me and I have been exercising in different places and scales, from intimate to public scales and urban infrastructure, collaborating in architectural design teams in Uruguay, Brazil and Portugal. In 2020 I had the opportunity to carry out my first project built, a country house in Uruguay.

The relationship between Architecture, Education and Childhood is something that I discovered during college, I fell in love completely and it is where I want to pursue my career as an architect.

In the editorial, writing and publishing field, I found a space for the development of critical and creative thinking.

Final Project

Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto, Portugal +

Facultad de Arquitectura Diseño y Urbanismo, Montevideo, Uruguay

2017-2018

This project, with the program of a Primary School in Porto, Portugal, begins with the intention of creating a space totally dedicated to children, understanding the space as an exceptional educational tool. A school as a home for collective learning. A unique, continuous, flexible, articulated, transparent space, in constantly contact with the natural and urban exterior. A place that shelts, while allows freedom. A space as defined by a child:

Space: “Limited place between two objetcs”.

The project concept arises from the previous definition. From the presence of objects, the continuous space is limited, possibly fractional, without making the fluency impossible. These equipments appear as the only massive elements of the building, as solid cores that serve the void, allowing its colonization.

Abbey Museum

Siena, Italy

Architecture Competition

2020

team: Victoria Baggio and Renan Prado

Museum is a place of knowledge dissemination and social reflection, through the conservation and exhibition of historical objects. It is proposed for the Abbey Museum the expansion of this meaning, being able to internalize and expose the context in which it is inserted, generating reflections towards the Tuscan landscape and the Abbey architecture.

The project design is developed through the existing elements in the surroundings, which provide abstract lines, creating boundaries for the insertion of a new volume in the context. Thus, the primordial volume of the building is generated, a massive rectangular prism, precisely arranged in the monastic complex. Then, a second derivation of abstract lines, derived from the relationship between the existing volumes, are used as guides for excavations in the prism, generating exterior patios. The resulting shape is made up of four smaller prisms joined by a centrality. This

center is also excavated in order to make it an organizing element for access, routes and program distribution.

The project is defined by mutual framing: At the same time that the surrounding area delimits the implantation of the Museum, this one, through specific openings, determines views between the interior and exterior.

Faced with an architectural context characterized by strong historical and symbolic meaning and the way in which the building's volume was developed, the Museum proposes a materiality of opaque and white surfaces, which emphasizes the geometric relationship between the new and the existing.

Peace Pavilion

Sedhiou, Senegal

Kaira Looro Architecture Competition

2019

team: Victoria Baggio and Renan Prado

For The Peace Pavilion, our desire is to conceive an architecture capable to turn people's eyes to land and its multiple aspects. Land as a natural element, where cycle of life happens. Land as the element transformed by humans, where communities are developed. Land as tribute to war victims and reminder of the present. At the same time, we believe the Peace Pavilion has to be a public space, a place of meeting for every kind of person. For that reason, the Pavilion is a light wide open space b uilt around a monolithic opaque solid volume.

area. Beyond that, the Monolith is the receptor, treater and container of collected rainwater.

The Pavilion arrangement suggests a promenade to the visi tors, where they go from anxiety to contemplation, from vibrance to silence, from a social behaviour to a condition of mediation.

Estudo Universitário: Facultad de Arquitectura Diseño y Urbanismo (FADU), Montevidéu, Uuruguai (2011-2018)

While the Exhibition and the Contemplation areas are open to the horizon, the transition between them is filtered by the Monolith, which hosts the Spreading Awareness area and its documental exhibition. It generates a transformative space that frames a serie of external environment aspects to create the best atmosphere possible for each

Faculdade de Arquitetura Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal (intercambio academico setembro 2016 - julho 2017)

The main entrance of the Pavilion is the Exhibition Area, which is the widest one. It is visible from the city to attract people to come over and it is capable to host social meetings. Its aspects guarantees a more informal and accessible approach to the artistic works exhibit ed on it. The room is involved by pivoting panels and the Monolith.

Eco Urban Systems

2015

Villa Lugano, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Project IV, Taller Perdomo, FADU

team: Victoria Baggio and Juan Pablo Lopez

A sector is assumed for an urban scale project. This consists of a court of approximately 100x100 square meters located at Villa Lugano, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Based on a conceptual reference coming from the OMA team project, for the Parc de la Villette, the project materializes the creation of a metaphorical metropolis that embodies the culture of chaos. Where a park supposes an unexpected encounter between music, sport, technology and nature without a precise limit.

The terrain is subdivided into a series of parallel east-west bands that organize the fundamental program areas. This band strategy creates a maximum longitude of borders between the maximum number of programmatic components, guaranteeing, therefore, the maximum

permeability of each band, and, through its interference, the maximum number of programmatic mutations.

Curso de Projeto IV, Taller Perdomo, FADU 2015

It is the thought of a diverse city, understanding the immediate coexistence of different realities and experiences as a starting point for the proposal. A city diverse from its architecture, spaces, events and people. The city as something natural, is therefore called “Urban Eco Systems” to those extracts of soil where all these experiences are consolidated. Nature is contained in a rigid space, defined by an abstract system, if it works with a series of manufactured landscapes, generating its artificialization and exaltation. The dialogue between nature and artifice is reversed.

uma quadra de aproximadamente 100x100 metros quadrados localizada na Villa Lugano, em Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A partir de uma referencia conceitunal beseada no projeto da equipe OMA, para o Parc de la Villette, no projeto é materializada a criação de uma metrópolis metafórica que personifica a cultura do caos. Onde um parque supõe um encontro inesperado entre música, esporte, tecnología e natureza sem um limite preciso.

O terreno se subdivide em uma série de bandas paralelas este-oeste que organizam as áreas programáticas fundamentais. Esta estratégia de bandas cria uma mpaxima longitude de fronteiras entre o máximo numero de

de cada banda, e, através de sua interferencia, o máximo número de mutações programáticas.

Se pensa uma cidade diversa, entendo a coexistênica imediata de diferentes realidades e experiências como ponto de partida para a proposta. Uma cidade diversa desde sua arquitetura, espaços, acontencimentos e pessoas. A cidade como algo natural, se chama portanto Eco Sistemas Urbanos a aqueles estratos de sólo onde se consolidam todas estas vivências. A natureza é contida em um espaço rígido, definido por um sistema abstrato, se trabalha com uma série de paisagens manufaturados, gerando uma artificializaçao e exaltaçao da mesma. Se inverte o diálogo entre natureza e artifício.

Sports Center

Montevideo, Uruguay

Project III, Taller Berio, FADU

This project arises from the idea of a massif on the green. The artificial, heavy, which, in contrast to the natural park where it is located, becomes permeable, opens up, allowing the green to enter the stone, and coexist.

The green penetrates the built mass, creating relations with the place where it is located and allows a bath of light to the building. These places of relationship conform as natural patios, with different colors and uses, creating interiors with different qualities in contact with the park, allowing the composition of various atmospheres and sensations in the same building.

Architectural+ Digital Content

Live by Apto live.apto.vc

São Paulo, Brazil (+ remote) 2020-2023

Between 2020 and 2023, I was part of the content creation team for the Live by Apto digital platform, which played an essential role in professional enrichment in the area.

During this period, I developed skills in the sphere of creative writing, copywriting, tone of voice, as well as training in tools such as Google Analytics and Wordpress.

By creating content projects in different formats in parallel, including written, video and image, for websites and social networks, I improved strategies for planning high-flow agendas and organizing content. This set of functions strengthened my continually attentive look at detail, ensuring that the final product was published in the correct and best way.

The series of content that I had the opportunity to create covers topics ranging from architecture, landscaping and urbanism, to design, arts, culture, to gastronomy and lifestyle.

Architectural Writting

Arquitectura y Diseño Magazine

Montevideo, Uruguay

2016

At the end of the architecture course, I had the opportunity to collaborate as an intern in the only magazine dedicated to architecture and design in Uruguay. For six months I worked as a writer for the magazine.

The main material created is the result of interviews I carried out personally with architects, and visits to their works, which enabled the creation of precise texts, where the architects' personal experiences are made visible through architecture.

EDIFICIOS PARA VIVIR PABLO SZAMES ARQUITECTOS

IMÁGENES QUE SE CONSTRUYEN MARTÍNEZ - RUDOLPH ARQUITECTOS

PABLO SZAMES

TEXTO Victoria Baggio

Szames cuenta con apenas 10 años en el ejercicio libre de la profesión y en ese lapso superó casi de inmediato las reformas pequeñas en propiedades familiares y de amigos para construirse un camino propio, en el cual aborda con solvencia proyectos de escala, en los que navega cada vez con mayor comodidad: los edi cios residenciales.

“Lo fantástico de la carrera de arquitectura, que no tiene ninguna otra, es el imaginar algo que luego se hace real y que perdura, aunque hagas una casita o una pequeña intervención en la ciudad. Trae esa alegría interna que sentís cuando recorren los espacios que proyectaste.”

Así se explican las interminables horas que el arquitecto dedica al estudio de cada terreno para imaginar por tentos constructivos que contendrán al espacio que luego albergará a familias, hombres y mujeres. La pasión de Szames por la investigación lo lleva a probar todas las novedades que la tecnología ofrece al mundo de la construcción. Innovar, mejorar procesos, generar procesos más e caces es una de las constantes que es posible detectar en cada una de sus obras.

El dibujo y la experiencia de tomar clases con un determinado profesor en el liceo fue lo que abrió a Szames de par en par las puer tas de esta pasión. Fue así, descubriendo el enorme potencial que una línea puede ofrecer al momento de gra car una idea, que aquel joven encaminó sus pasos hacia la Arquitectura. El Estudio de Arquitectura Szames se funda en el año 2008 y entonces las obras que desarrollaba eran de menor escala. Edi cios de pocas unidades, reciclajes y viviendas unifamiliares.

Y ya entonces despuntaba la pasión del arquitecto por ensayar soluciones con nuevos productos y experimentar con nuevos procesos, animado más que por el control de los costos, por los resultados de la aplicación tecnológica en sus obras. Casi de inmediato comienzan a surgir las opor tunidades que le permiten trabajar en obras de mayor escala, opor tunidades que Szames no dejó pasar. Fue así que se especializó en el desarrollo de edi cios de altura. Para ello, su estudio se fue poblando de colaboradores con los cuales el abordaje de todos los capítulos que incluye una obra es atendido con singular e ciencia. Junto al arquitecto Andrés Gava trabaja en la etapa del ante proyecto, momento de creación donde la imaginación encuentra sus cables a tierra.

Luego, la construcción del proyecto de nitivo encuentra a otros profesionales que par ticipan en cada uno de los rubros, rati cando, revisando y apor tando para que el resultado nal contemple, con el mayor grado de veracidad posible, aquel primer sueño imaginado por el arquitecto. Aquella pasión por la investigación y la experimentación llevó al arquitecto Pablo Szames a par ticipar activamente también en la etapa de la construcción. Super visa personalmente la construcción de todas sus obras y eso le permite trabajar en ellas hasta el nal.

“La obra es muy importante, un buen proyecto con una mala ejecución no es un buen proyecto, en cambio, una obra bien ejecutada hace que el proyecto se luzca más.”

Además del acompañamiento constante y cuidadoso en las obras, otro aspecto de extrema impor tancia para el arquitecto es cumplir con la fecha de término de la obra.

Children Workshops

Education in Architecture

Casa da Arquitectura Matosinhos, Portugal

2023

From 2023 I collaborate as an educational service team, developing children's workshops. In these, architecture is approached through play.

The main thrust of these activities is to introduce and boost spatial and architectural thinking in children. Through games that stimulate the senses, body awareness and a look at nature, they create designs, models and spaces.

Ludic Architecture

Children Workshops

Faculdade da Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto Porto, Portugal

2017

In 2017 the enconuter Ludic Architecture took place at FAUP, Porto. In this context I could colaborate in the organization team, and during the event, in the workshops for children.

The set of workshops started with different playful elements, from which children could imagine and build new architectures.

Thanky you!
