INTRODUCTION This portfolio is a presentation of my professional history. Since I have never run my own business, I don’t have much personal architectural projects to show. In the last five years, I worked in big companies and had numerous duties, so the best way of presenting my main professional achievements during this period is through images and text descriptions of activities. However, before moving on, I would like to sumarize my experience over the last years. MY FIRST INTERNSHIP In 2010, when I was in the 3rd semester of my Architecture & Urbanism degree, I started to intern at a well-known and respected architecture firm (Feu Arquitetura) in Rio de Janeiro, as part of the Detail Design team. While I was there, I had the opportunity to learn and develop knowledge of BIM technology (Revit), which later proved to be a valuable complement to my professional career. I interned there during two years of my academic life, developing numerous multi-residential, corporate and hospitality projects of medium and large-scale. BIM TECHNOLOGY IN MY CAREER I have always been fascinated with exploring something new, with finding better and more advanced methods of working and then getting to be the best at that, especially regarding technology. Therefore, BIM got my attention in a way that AutoCAD never did. The empathy was immediate and grew over the years. I have been developing experience, studying and getting even more involved with this system.
Over seven years, Revit has been my main working tool and I can’t see my career apart from BIM. THE BEGINNING OF GREAT PROJECTS In 2012, I was accepted by the biggest multinational construction company in Brazil, as part of the Real Estate team responsible for the project development of the residential condominiums at the Rio 2016 Olympic Village. One year later, when all projects were already in their final stages, I was then requested to be part of the Engineering team, where I worked until the company asked for my support at the Rio 2016 Olympic Park. Thanks to my knowledge and interest in BIM, I was able to collaborate on two corporate buildings at the Park and had the chance of supervising the construction from the foundations, which was a new experience for me at that time. In 2014, I graduated as an Architect and Urbanist and a new opportunity arrived: working at Tom Jobim International Airport – RIOgaleão, in Rio de Janeiro, where I learnt and grew a lot professionally. Most of the projects presented in this portfolio are part of my history at the airport over a three year period (2014-2017).

1. FEU
ARQUITETURA I. Windsor Marapendi Hotel Barra Beach - RJ In the Detail Design team, I was in charge of modelling numerous architectural projects (multi-residentials, corporates and hospitalities) in Revit. One of the most significant projects I worked on was the Windsor Hotel, where I was responsible for the modelling in Revit and for the overlapping and clash-detection of multidisciplines (electrical, plumbing, fire safety etc.) in AutoCAD. This project, initially drawn in AutoCAD, was transferred to Revit during the initial phases.

II. Windsor Oceânico Hotel Barra Beach - RJ During the time I worked at the firm, I learnt a lot about detailing, specifications, drawing developments, organization of sheets and schedules on projects of medium and large-scale. In this project, I was in charge of the modelling and I issued the first drawing sheets of the Detail Design phase.

III. Real Estate Team – Condominium 9 In the Real Estate team, I was part of the team responsible for the concept and development of “Condominium 9”, which was the most upmarket of the village. It was composed of five high profile multi-residential buildings. Through Real Estate analyses, I contributed to the development of the final product, which included facade specifications, unit finishes, gross, rentable and usable areas of the apartments, automation systems for all units and common areas, infrastructure of the condominium and a critical analyses of Architecture, Landscaping and Interior Design projects.

IV. Engineering Team – Retrofitting projects In the Engineering team, I was in charge of revising all architectural and engineering disciplines (electrical, hydraulic, lighting etc.) drawings from both project phases of all seven multi-residential condominiums of the village. The first phase was consisted of the Olympic and Paralympic period, when the apartments would be used by the athletes. The second phase was intended for the Legacy (period after the Games), when the residential units would be retrofitted regarding layout and interior finishes before being delivered to the final owners.

V. MPC (Main Press Centre) In the Engineering team, I was responsible for the project coordination and the construction supervision of the MPC (Main Press Centre). The corporate building would be used by all accredited members of the print and photographic press during the Olympics and Paralympics Games. Since the architectural project was being developed in Revit, it was necessary to have someone from the team who had a good knowledge of the software to be in charge of managing schedules in Revit for data extraction required by the Construction team. Due to a short project deadline, we couldn’t expect the external project designer to be also in charge of this duty. And it would be more efficient to have someone from inside the construction site that could manage the software. Since I worked in the construction site, I could follow-up the foundation phase, which provided me with a great knowledge. The actual building during the Olympics Games

VI. IBC Offices (International Broadcast Centre) The other project I was in charge of and was able to follow-up were IBC Offices. This building would be used by OBS (Olympic Broadcasting Service) and connected to the main IBC (International Broadcast Centre) building, where more than 70 TV and radio broadcasters from all over the world would be installed. I was responsible for the technical and financial analyses of this building, which was also developed in Revit, but I didn’t have the chance to follow-up its construction, which just started in the second semester of 2014.

5. TOM JOBIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT － RIOgaleão
2014 - 2017
VIII.A summary of my pathway in the Concession-Holder and Operator Since my work in the Concession-Holder and Airport Operator RIOgaleão included duties across divergent responsibilities, it’s necessary to write a summary before presenting my achievements for a better comprehension of how and why I was asked to be part of three different teams during that time. In August 2014, I started my job at the airport Operations team with the main duty of improving the layout and flow of passengers in both terminals. My main goal was to organize the airport in a way that the operation would run in the best possible way. When I joined the team, the original and the new airport project plans had already been contracted in AutoCAD. But, I knew that if I used Revit, that would bring several benefits to all projects and teams. So, from my first month, I was already modelling the entire existing Terminal 2 in Revit. It is important to mention that the use of Revit was started from my own initiative and it was only a working tool that would assist the efficiency of my work. As my main duty was to take care of overall airport efficiency by attending to internal team requests and providing support to the new projects for the airport expansion. To this end, the modelling in Revit was being done daily and gradually without a deadline. I was the only person at the entire airport who knew how to use the software, which soon came to the attention of the coordinators and manager of the Engineering (Projects) team. In the first semester of 2015, when I was developing a design for new check-in counters, my relation with the Maintenance team became tighter. Consequently and as required by the Operations director (who ran both teams), I started to collaborate and be part of that team, without abandoning my existing duties. This made the work easier for everyone and proved to add great value to my professional career. In January 2016, the macrostructure of the business had changed: Maintenance would be unlinked from Operations and joint to Engineering. With all projects and construction running at full blast, the coordinators and manager of the Engineering (Projects) team saw a great opportunity to add me to their team. In July 2017, after the delivery and implementation of several projects as part of the Engineering team, my cycle at the airport came to an end. I will always be proud of being part of this history developing projects and for everything I accomplished up to this point.

IX. New check-in counters and design of the check-in hall In January 2015, I started a design project for new check-in counters at Terminal 1. In fact, the proposal also included a retrofitting of the whole check-in area. This led to the development of an entire project and a strong supervision in loco along with the Maintenance team. We received great feedback from passengers through RIOgaleĂŁo social media after the inauguration and also from all airlines which had been using the counters. The success was so considerable that the project manager decided to replicate the design in the entire check-in hall of Terminal 2, in the new check-in counters and islands, which modified the original conceptual project.

X. New seating and layout of the waiting room In 2015, it was necessary to start the definition of new seatings for the waiting rooms of Terminal 2 and South Pier. We couldn’t launch a new airport without brand new and more comfortable seating for our passengers. Due to this reason and after several meetings with different manufacturers, we were able to choose a model from Vitra. I was responsible for the new layout of seating in the waiting room. Over ten days, I have coordinated an implementation plan of more than 1,500 seating in Terminal 2 and in South Pier.

XI. ORAT Plan (Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer) In 2016, I was the only person responsible in the Engineering team for the ORAT Plan, which consisted of several weekly trials between all airlines and passenger guests. During the trials, I could check important aspects such as layout, flow and wayfinding signs. Before every trial and twice per week, I had a meeting with other RIOgaleĂŁo teams to discuss and coordinate all the measures that needed to be taken in both Terminals not only for the operational readiness of South Pier (which would be inaugurating soon), but also for the migration of all airlines from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. In terms of our weekly schedule, we were able to conclude the entire migration process and inaugurate the new South Pier as expected and before the deadline.

XII. New terminal and South Pier conclusion In 2014, when I started working at the airport, the conceptual projects for the retrofitting of the Terminal 2 and for the construction of the new South Pier were already being developed in AutoCAD. However, I was able to contribute with: the layout of all waiting rooms, of inspection areas (queues, seatings and flows) and of all the food courts, the design of new restrooms, the allocation and the split of all airlines offices and back offices for Sales, Booking and Information Desk services, furniture specifications at the waiting rooms and provide support to the Commercial team regarding the allocation of new operations (retail stores and kiosks, F&B, stands) every other day.

XIII.Rio 2016 Olympics and Paralympics The Olympics and Paralympics period was one of the most intense periods during my entire cycle at the airport. In addition to my daily routine of coordinating all projects in BIM, I had to develop temporary projects to attend to the demands of athletes and passengers and I was also acting as a volunteer in terminals along with other team members to help with the airport operations. Of course this support was given out of my regular working hours. In order to attend the high demand, I had to develop new flows, queues, define areas to allocate counters for the accreditation of athletes, delegations and diplomats, weaponry rooms etc. On 22/08/2016, we received 85,000 people at the airport, the biggest flow in its history. Everything went perfectly well with a maximum of 30-minutes waiting time for departure queues. The press responded with high praise.

The new project of the Terminal 2 was transferred from AutoCAD to Revit gradually and had been modifying every other day in order to attend to internal requests from the airport teams
XIV. BIM implementation in the projects The BIM implementation in the projects was developed by my own initiative since my first week at the airport. By using this system, projects and teams benefited by saving time, had help in the decision-making process and avoided common mistakes which normally happen if a project is developed in 2D. Since BIM is a dynamic and complex tool, the outcomes of this work can be better checked and viewed in video through the link provided along with my contact information in the beginning of this portfolio. The video also presents my other duties and achievements at the airport which are described here.

XV. Wayfinding project using BIM In 2016, as I was the only one in the Engineering team with previous experience in airport Operations and also for being solely responsible for the flows, I was chosen to be one of the team responsible for the implementation of a new Wayfinding project covering the entire airport. Over more than 3 months, I contributed to the projects and coordinated the implementation in loco. After that, in 2017, I became the Wayfinding coordinator, so I began the migration process of all Wayfinding projects from AutoCAD to Revit, as the model of the airport was already very advanced and the Wayfinding projects asked for constant reviews, since airport operations are extremely dynamic and always require changes.
