Architecture is a discipline that defines new ways of Living
The possible Artistic Creation, which allows
the liberation of thought through communicative language with others, has always been a growing interest for my career.
Initially, through drawing / painting, I began
to worry about social issues, wondering what the role of an artist in society would be. Thus, a taste for architecture was born, without evidently knowing the power it could have in this search between Man / Experience / Society.
Later, after attending university, I realized
that these were not just empty projects, that offices were not machines without pause. That architecture reaches its flatness when it can unite different areas, whether artistic or physical. That concept goes beyond economics, that the customer is not just another number.
Here, the architect has a duty to communica-
te between what is real and what is right, in a constant search for simplicity and the essential. Without abuse of drawing, he must also realize where his limit is. Limit this, reached between space and silence, between pauses and dialogues. Here the architectural work speaks because the architect gives it voice.

- Diagonal Building, Casablanca
2019, Handis
The proposal for the Diagonal Mix Use Building project, Casablanca, It is based on the careful design of two buildings, situated in one of the emerging areas of the city. The proposal offers the city a space of 15 000 m2 Â with a nursery, two restaurants, a gym, a coworking space and a diversity of possible offices. The concept was based on the intreption of adjacent, eccentric buildings and therefore required a reading of simplicity. We opted for a game of internal spaces, partially uniform when observed by the exterior. The office was proposed to design the concept of the project as well as the resolution of the structure for the building. It is currently in the process of licensing, and therefore not built. Rendering relies on the work of a cabinet graphic designer.

- Hybrid Building, Buenos Aires
2018. Project V, Studio RED V PUPA
The city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, presents some unresolved problems, such as the depopulation of central zones, a consequence of the abandonment motivated by the increasingly frequent poverty. Thus, architecture should have a fundamental and pioneering role, allowing the inhabitants of the city to use the “spaces of no one” with a pro t for society. The organization of the project was based on the analysis of the terrain, respecting the two streets annexed to it, Avenida de Maio (ener- getic and vibrant) and Hípólito Yrigoyen Street (silent and dark). These two streets allowed to divide the program into three important areas where circulation was the key element, organizing the project in two moments. This building becomes interesting because it not only respects the need for a building within a block to have its privacy. As it also allows that in any moment, and if the society needs, to transform itself into an instrument for the society. It can be a Voice, a meeting space, among the inhabitants.

The world of the Arts presents itself as expansive, exuberant, and at times exhausting in its complexity. It is in this context, full of constant anachronisms, that the theme of cinema inhabits, and with it, the idealism of the one who creates it. The project for the Cineclub in CamapnhĂŁ arises from an idea of simplicity, where the proposal presents itself as a single and slight ele- ment, that intends to solve the irregularity of the land with just a gesture. In the same way that cinema has sought throughout history a continuity of thought and movement, and taking into account its theme as a moti- vator of work, an analysis was begun to create an open space that would allow communication between all its zones. Thus, the regular shape of the square, which gave rise to its initial mesh (2.50 x2.50 m), would allow the spaces to be made more accessible, without ever losing their identity. Thus, I opted for a language with an industrial character, in order to make the building pure and without any type of decoration, whe- re the decorative detail would pass only through the sensitivity of the treatment of its infrastructures, completely naked and visible.

- Habitação Plurifamiliar, Porto
2016/2017. Project III, Prof. LuĂs Viegas
The land forms part of what would be the former state of Lima, in Oporto. Here, it is possible to observe the design of an ur- ban network constructed over time, where on the one hand, it was condensed by the bourgeois houses that so much characterize the city. On the other hand, there is a design rich in spaces intended for the public, and consequently a greater spacing between dwellings. Thus, since the terrain has different characteristics, different solutions have been chosen. In this way, the rst housing complex, faces Alegria Street, one of the most important streets of that area, and for this reason the ground oor was resolved with spaces des- tined for commerce or of ces. On the oors above, due to the con guration of the building, and for a better solution of privilege for the apartments, we opted for a module with only two apartments. As regards the second solution, it attempts to sol- ve the remaining part of the land, and for this reason the propo- sal has a more familiar character, with low dwellings in direct access.

- Lote 38, Almancil
2017, Plan Associated Architects
The project for Lot 38 was a proposal for a sin- gle-family housing contest in the Algarve, Portu- gal, through the internship at Plan Associetad Architects. The idea of the project was based largely on the design of three different entrances to the lot, allowing three different arrival times, the rst being the main entrance and through which the hiker can access naturally. These second is the entrance for the car, which gives direct access to the garage. Finally, the third entrance is a private access to the inha- bitant, this entrance allows the building to have multiple uses, where the room that has double access, interior and exterior, be- come a space of multiple uses, as in a small of ce ready to recei- ve customers without these relate to the rest of the habutation. Positively, the dwelling developed in a longitudinal volume that extends along the ground, as a social area on the ground floor, and a private area on the first floor.

- The Red Cube Bar, Porto 2017. Parceria c/ David Rodrigues
The “The Red Cube Bar� project was a tender for the 2017 AEFaup Tent competition. In this competition the participants propose a barge for the festival of the burning of the tas, with the aim of selling a diversity of drinks.In this way, and since the idea was to design a tent that represen- ted the Faculty of Architecture of the U.Porto (FAUP), on festive, the con- cept of the project emerged. This consisted of an abstraction of elements reduced to the essential, where its simplicity and elegance became richer with the approach to the project. Thus, from the cherry red that wears the structure are born layers of white that will give it texture and charisma. The use of red has as reference the main entrance of the col- lege and the white the color that covers the whole building. The Bar consists of a solution of only 1 oor with three spans, two of which allow direct contact with the public and the sale of the products. However, its dimensions already come pre-defined, which results in a block construction.
