The project for the BauhausMuseum aims to reinterpret theBauhaus Movement in the 21century . My intentions were tocreate a building with clearfunctions distribution , to takeadvantage of engineer solutions inthe space creation, the creation ofa dynamic urban space that couldbe an attractive point to the cityand finally a building that coulddeal in harmony with the park .

In terms of volumetry the answerfor these intentions were thecreation of a set of volumesconnected at the ground floor butvisually free at the first floor . Thisapproach allows more relationbetween the museum , the parkand the urban structure around .This volumes are then coveredwith anodized aluminium so thatthe final picture is a kind ofchameleon building that reflectspartially its surrounds .

The project is situated atReeperbahn’s street, St. Pauli, awell-known district of Hamburg,famous for its night life. The projectconsisted in the rehabilitation oftwo collective housing building.Like on the previous project, out ofmy work, I studied as a personalinterest a solution for the façade ofboth buildings. Historically thebuildings have different stories,because of that, differentapproaches were taken. Where isnow the building 108, was before abuilding from the XIX century. Interms of composition, this formerbuilding was more interesting thanthe one that exists now. For thisreason I decided to reintroduce atthe ground floor, but in a differentway some of the geometry of thisformer building. The rest of thefaçade kept its openings but now,with different window frames, andis coating with polished darkschist. For the building 114 Idecided for an approach opposedof the 108. In this case the existentfaçade is covered with rustyCorten steel plates.

ideas competitionARQUITECTAR urban regeneration

The focus of this project was the

requalification of a building from

the XIX century situated in the old

downtown of Oporto, Portugal.

Once it was a project in the scope

of the competition,

Arquitectar, it was decided to a

more deep project approach. From

the existing building it was

decided to maintain the main

façade and reformulate all the rest.

The interior, the façade from the

quarter and the last floor were

completely reformulated and the

ideas

A new façade was designed that

in a first point could let the light

goes in at the lower floors and in a

second point that could work as a

filter between interior and exterior.

The façade consists in a set of

metal boards designed to control

the light entrance. Through laser

cutting and metal bending it's

possible to control the design of

each board allowing more light

entrance in the first floors and less

in the last floors.

functions of the building also

reviewed. The project was strongly

influenced by its surrounding more

precisely by the building that

confronts with the proposal in the

interior of the quarter.

This relation influenced the

functional program and the façade

design. The mentioned building is

separated from the requalified

building in 3 meters and is 13

meters high so the light entrance

in the first floors is very few, not

enough for housing.Metal bending

The project is situated in a farmand consists in the extension of ahouse belonging to a couple ofwine makers. The existent buildingwas built firstly to support thewinery activity and secondly toserve as a house. Lately theobjective of the client is to remodelthe existent old house of the farmand to live there. Because of thisconditions, it was important toevaluate how the house extensionwould interact not just with theexistent but also how it wouldinteract with the old house. In factthe house extension would have tooccupy part of the garden of theold house. Because of theseconditions it was decided todissimulate the house extension.As a way of doing it I decided towork with a fence that could definethe terrain limits of the old housebut also that could integrate anddefine the limits of the houseextension.

PERFORMANCE ARCHITECTURE

«There are economical and social situations in which it seems more than

reasonable to convert the useless into useful.»

1: The citizens experience2: The performance result

The city of Guimarães has

witnessed a chaotic, complex and

polemic urban transformation over

the last few months. But, at the

same time, in social terms, has

been a fascinating and magnetic

transformation.

We continuously find many and

large groups of people around the

different intervention areas, being

these areas either bigger or

smaller in scale.

Such are manifold and much

differentiated situations, but they

nonetheless share a common

characteristic: they take place

around the areas undergoing

transformations of the urban

scenery. This allure is an intense

one and it works as a centre of

social attraction. If we dig into our

visual memories, we will see that

this phenomenon now occurring

on the streets of Guimarães

actually pretty much anywhere.

If the transformation of the urban

scenery has this great ability to

generate social activity around it,

why not then keep this situation

over the entire course of this

event's time period?

Reduced to its minimum

expression: a worker; a simple

operation (a hole in the ground);

and the setup of the necessary

protections. The operation will last

just long enough so as to generate

the desired expectations and

curiosity. On completion, the

worker will start the same

operation elsewhere, he will close

the initial hole and disassemble

the protections, resuming the

operation on a new settlement.

Thus will turn into a continuous

process of permanent assembly

and disassembly all over town.

THE (GREEN)HOUSE

This Project aims to requalify asmall house built for more than 50years. The house is located in arural zone it was also used as aplace to support agricultureactivities. Without any conditions tobe used as a habitation it wasdecided to augment the house atthe 1st floor level through thedisplacement of the southwestwall. Once the house was visuallypermeable by other houses, it wasdecided to create a free spacebetween the old granite walls onthe 1st floor and the new interiorspaces. Like this there are alwaysa layer between interior andexterior. Because the new buildingwill be occupied by farmers, it wascreated a greenhouse at the top ofthe building.

The house, situated at the bottomof a hillside, was used for manyyears as familiar habitation on the1st floor and as support toagriculture on the ground floor. Therelationship with the surroundingenvironment is always direct and ismade through a set of windowsmostly situated in the northelevation of the house. The mainobjective of the project is thecreation of intermediate spaceswhich could allow more privacy tothe inhabitants as well as thecreation of a system that permitsthe entrance of more light in thehouse. For this purpose it wasdecided to push the house untilthe exterior south wall and use theexistent north wall of the house asa surface to reflect light. Betweenthese two elements there is thenew local to access the interior ofthe house.

The door in a cemeterysymbolically defines theseparation between the world ofthe living and the dead. The doorwas intended to convey solidityand robustness, like the largetombstones of certain cultures ofancient times. If in a first time thecross is in an oblique positioninvoking the load of the cross byChrist, in a second time, alreadyinside the vault, she acquires avertical position by invoking theencounter with God.

The building location is at the endof the urban zone of espinho near

works as a landmark at this pointof the city. It was decided that the

best position for the building wouldbe at the end of the street near the

beach.The different rooms are organizedaround courtyards and in the most

part of the times receiving northlight or indirect light so it can be

created a good ambience forlecturing and other activities.

COLLECTIVE HOUSING

First floor plan

This collective housing projectaims to address essentially to two

points: firstly to enhance andconsolidate the urban context in

which it operates and secondly, tocreate housing typologies

exceptions that could enhance thebuilding.

The shape of the building hasmuch to do with the presence of

the viaduct in which it exists. Thiselement, not frequent in the urbanscene, plays a unique role in this

area of Porto. The strongcirculation road that passes

through it, "draws up" motion linesthat influenced the design of the

building.
