The intention of this master`s dissertation is to analyze the influence of the Portuguese in the urban development of Na-gasaki and Dejima. To serve as a counterpoint, the urban structures used in Japan until the arrival of the Portuguese were also stud-ied, namely the imperial cities, which follow an orthogonal planning, and the feudal cities, which are developed in an irregular way but mirror its social hierarchy and the city`s need of defense. The comprehension of the characteristics of the Portuguese settlements in the East, very similar to those in the north of Africa, was also necessary. To better understand these characteristics and the relations among its public, military and religious buildings, two case studies were chosen, Ma-lacca and Macau, as these were the two settlements with the strongest commercial relationship with the Nagasaki port. Finally, the formal analysis of the urban structure of Na-gasaki and its buildings suggest a strong influence of the Portuguese in its urban layout. The same cannot be seen in Dejima, which, even though it suffered from a strong foreign influence throughout the years, does not show any specifi-cally Portuguese mark.

The goal of this project was to create a Knowledge Center, a cross between a library, a study/work building - always connected with the student world - and the Cultural Center, where art is always a the biggest factor through its exhibition areas and the auditorium and multi-purpose room, in a site surrounded by an academic environment, stone walls that contain it and dense vegetation.

Defined by 3 large platforms in steps with its boundaries parallel to the first tower of Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto (FAUP), the neighbor building, this building was drawn in such a way that its impact would be minimized an doesnt interfere with the pre-existing natural surroundings, and, at the same time, that it keeps its status of an important building.

Death, as many factors in society, varies immensely accord-ing to each cultural background, and if some cry or see it as the ending of a line, others celebrate it and face it as the beginning of a new cycle. As such, an architectural interven-tion that intends to be absent of religious connotation, has to capture the essence of these farewell rituals in an universal way, carrying in its architectural language this subject in the multiple approaches of mankind itself.In this way, the building was developed in two pieces, joined in the Farewell Room, the largest and most important ele-ment of the program, as the place for the final moments with the loved ones, intending to create with this the exception in the form and, at the same time, define the entrance.

The site is in a densely constructed area, where the techno-cratic language of neon lighting and omnipresent advertis-ing prevail. Trying to contradict that aspect, our proposal is based on a simple shape, a tilted cork box that intents to sub-vert the vertical mass-construction logic of Tokyo. We were trying to convey a natural appearance to the building and this is the main reason for the choice of cork for the facades, be-ing the other reason its great performance as an insulating and sound proofing material. The facade, for natural lighting of the interiors, is also perforated with the image of a cherry blossom tree, one of Japan`s national symbol, representing also peace and tranquility.In the interior contrasting with the very rigid, geometrical morphology of the divisions, the stairway develops as a rib-bon, ascending freely to the skies, as a metaphor of the fun times people will have in Tokyo`s newest equipment.

The objective of this work was designing a zoologic museum in a 10m3 cube. As the minimum animals it should accommo-date was 5, I decided to deconstruct the cube in 5 volumes that recreate the cube, making this a work of geometric play of staircases and rooms, much like a Escher drawing, with a course you could take entering the first room on the ground floor to the left and following the staircases` and rooms` movement. To make the movement of the course even more dramatic, I designed some windows that create voids be-tween the volumes of the rooms, giving the sensation that the building is not holding onto anything.
