The design of an urban harbor in the Billings reservoir must be understood not only as a work of infrastructure but as something that helps increase the quality of urban life in a neighborhood so needy in São Paulo. In addition, the existence of a nautical square above the pier brings greater environmental conscience to those who live in the surroundings of the dam, aiding in the protection of the waters of Billings.

The exercise consists in creating a structure close to the human scale that modifies the relationship between the person who experiences and the space around it. A single volume made from cardboard that can be aggregate to the pre-existing bank is the major concept of the project. The structure ensures better ergonomics, auditory and visual comfort since it combines a inclined backrest to an acoustic shell also used as a protection for sunlight.

The workshop aimed to creating analysis of a structure of nature and subsequently developing of an analogy of its use for something. From the movement of a flea, I created a small structure tensioned by a rubber band that jumps when activated. This small analogy progressed into the prototype of a modular roofing that provides a series of uses options. The result of the workshop was presented in two exhibitions in different buildings of FAUUSP.

The Channel City is a study of occupation based on the theory of hidroanel, great waterway that could integrate the territory of sao paulo by its periphery. The project proposal is to occupy a block next to the waterway with services, commerce and housing.Thereby, the region becomes independent from the city center and can be developed as a new centrality. The project has two residential buildings consisting of four towers around a central square. The design of the building is based on a geometry that makes the visual experience of passing through the building interesting.

The WOOD³ summer course featured theoretical and practical activities having as main subject the wood and its usability. In theoretical activities, were discussed the characteristics of the Brazilian timber industry, the beneficiation process of lumber and some physical properties of wood. Then, in practical activities, we designed and produced a tridimensional object made with traditional wood joinery from Brazil.

The project consists in choosing a vacant urban space in the central area of Sao Paulo and then reintegrate it to the daily life of the city. We selected a vacant that enchants for having housed the Cinecoral, a successful movie theatre in the golden age of street cinemas in Sao Paulo. The possibility of crossing the block through a permeable building is also a quality of the space. Through the project, we seek a higher density housing combined with the redevelopment of cultural life in downtown. The notion of empty space was preserved by the free span that invites the passerby to walk through the gallery and cross it as a breather to the central density.

Teto is a NGO that seeks to end extreme poverty in Latin America. In Brazil, the main objective is to build emergency houses for families living in favelas. By working on this project, I have been able to get in touch with the reality of my country and help improving life of some people. The constructions are organized and executed by college students aiming to provide dignity to several families.

about me

Daughter of a plastic artist and a theater actor, I breathed art for my whole life and could not imagine a future without it. Among all artistic fields, the choice of architecture came with my passion for the environment in which I live and the will to improve it, producing something concrete that outlives me. I’m not the best speaker, but through architecture I know I can make myself heard, as I found my voice in it. For that reason, I know that I want to spend my life designing architecture, and I dream of teaching at the university that gave me not only a career, but my best form of expression.

“Utopia lies at the horizon. When I draw nearer by two steps, it retreats two steps. If I proceed ten steps forward, it swiftly slips ten steps ahead. No matter how far I go, I can never reach it. What, then, is the purpose of utopia? It is to cause us to advance.” Eduardo Galeano
