Tuanne Monteiro de CarvalhoArchitecture & Urban Planning Portfolio

Ever since I was a little child I was involved with art, history and poetry. I am fascinated to collect maps, get to know cities, and understand and create landscapes in my imagination. One day I found out that it had a name and that it could be a profession. As a student I desire to learn and to improve my knowledges,as a dreamer I really think that I am in the right way.

The Rustic Open Mall is a commercial building design which joins service and entertainment activities, as a place where

customers can go shopping or just walk. Its volume is in-spired by traditional fishing with small nets. The movement generated by casting nets was used in the formal concept.

Located in a residential area between two forest reserves, the Rustic Open Mall tries to integrate with the surround-ing natural environment.

The concept of the movement of casting nets was also used in the floor plans. Large corridors

and halls would allow customers the feeling of an open space,

although they would be under a protection roof designed to block sun rays. The building plan has 45

shops and 21 offices.

Residential & Tourist ComplexArch Design Studio viPartner Amanda RodriguesProfessor Alexandre Toledo andProfessor Rafael MaiaFall 2013

The Residential and Tourist Complex provides the conve-nience, comfort and safety of a resort to residents. Located at

the coast of Maceio City, in a site of approximately 7,750m², the surround area has presented an intense development of

buildings and increase of population. However, the dense vegetation area at the edge of the complex is maintained

and protected by the Government of the city.

The design proposal allows residents to ap-preciate restaurants and pubs of the complex itself. Moreover, the complex provides a fit-ness area, laundry services, beauty salon and a variety of services located at the ground area, which it is characterized as a community center for the city.

The design has two different kind of buildings as two residential

towers and two commercial and service towers. Both residential

and commercial buildings present design strategies to effective use

of natural ventilation and daylight.

Also, the use of a mezzanine floor at level 8 provides a large green area to social activities, rest and contem-plation of the front sea. Besides that, the use of just pillars and sills is a facilitator of ventilation through the building to the urban city.

The urban intervention in a residential area of Maceio City refers to the func-

tionality of a public space dynamic. As the establishment of transport corridors

and recreational areas to a better solu-tion of traffic and pedestrians flows.

The study area has a big potential of expansion, due to the construction of a shopping mall nearby. For this reason, the urban intervention proposes to solve questions of traffic and pedestrians mobility, by recognizing the major and minor flows.

The design presents the expansion, redefinition and revitaliza-tion of open spaces in the set, rearranging squares, footpaths, walkways and urban facilities.

Sobrado’s RestorationTheory and Technique of Architectural Restoration

Professor Josemary FerrareprofeSpring 2014

This work researched the impor-tance of historic preservation

through conservation and res-toration of a building located in

Maceio historical downtown.

It was chosen a Brazilian construction model typical of the XIX century. The Sobrado was deteriorated over the years, including a fire in 2012. Currently the historical building is a shoes store’s storage.

The design proposal is to desig-nate a new use to the building.

The main idea is to adapt the old building to the new needs, in this

case, as a support place for the store. The restoration plan has

reception area, conference rooms, restrooms, and break room.

Located in a privileged area of Maceio City, the Gourmet Restaurant Sao Gon-

calo uses the sea view as the design concept. Due to this, the majority of the areas are visually directed to the sea, not only the social but also the

service areas, as the kitchen.

The design proposal was inspired in a old Lighthouse that was located next to the site. The restaurant allows

all the users of the building to have the sensation of being at the top of a lighthouse or in a point lookout, by

amplifying the perspective of view of clients and staffs.

The restaurant has two floors plans. The first floor refers to the service access, where is located the major kitchen and staff rest area. The industrial kitchen is designed to allow staffs enjoying the view while working. The sec-ond floor is dedicated to the clients area, also a gourmet space that can be used to private events if it is the case.

The materials used were corten steel to the me-tallic structure and brise-soleil panels, glass to the frontages and windows and concrete at the first floor which works structurally. All areas and materi-als used are following the standards established by the Brazilian Sanitary Surveillance Agency.

“The design begins when you put yourself at another personal perspective

to consider the variety of perceptions and opportunities that your design can

provide.” (Amanda Rodrigues)
