The Water Observatory
Site Study The Old Chain of Rocks Bridge is a historical mark in the city of St. Louis and it is also the site of interest of the Architectural design developed in the Water and Bubbles Studio. The challenge proposed by this studio is to design an observatory with a dwelling space for a scientist studying a phenomena in the Missouri River. The studio is composed by two parts: the Material Study and the Phenomena Observatory Design.

Material Study The Material Study developed during the Water and Bubbles studio analysed the water’s drop behavior during it’s fall. In order to isolarte and measure how the water’s drop mutate it was necessary to develop a device that amplified the size of the water drop and that gave an idea of time and space.

Water Observatory
Based on the Site Study and on the Material Study the observatory design was developed taking in consideration the river gage hegiht throughout the year, leading it to a platform structure sustained by steel cables, which created the impression of water drops falling from the bridge into the river. The materials chosen hold a close relation to the bridge’s material in order to stablish a visual connection to the site, being them rusty metal pannels and glass glazing.

Site Analysis + Concept
The building of the Architecture and Urbanism College from the University of Sao Paulo is one of the best examples of Modern Architecture in Brazil. Designed by the great architect Vilanova Artigas this building represents more than a school, an ideology. The challenge proposed in this project was to design an Annex Library that would protect the biggest archive of art’s and architecture’s boards of Latin America.
Site Analysis + Concept
When thinking about the value of the documents that were going to be held in the annex the idea of a safe couldn’t be avoided. It was based in the idea of protection and preservation that was develloped an outer and an inner volume. The space between those is used for circulation and for study rooms while the inner space is the actual archive. The circulation of the building relates to the ramps seen in the main building and brise-soleil were used to achieve thermal comfort in the more exposed areas.

Site Plan EcoBlock
The EcoBlock concept developed in this project is to create a commmon space that offers a sensorial experience and fosters a growing community in the neighborhood. The main focus of the common area is community garden and open spaces for the block’s dwellers and for other people of the neighborhood. In the sides of the block there are the service areas that hold trash collectors and compost area.

This book was produced during the class Urban Books: Drawing (from) St.Louis under guidance of the Professor Zeuler Lima. The goal of this book was to expose the different views that you have frm the city trough a ride in the Metro Link. To develop this book I ride in the metro from the western stop until the last stop before the Missouri River and drew the view from each of those stops. The final r esult was a rich panorama of the city showing both the North and the South side.

Mapping Complex Spatial Sequence
Mapping Complex Spatial Sequences
Mapping Complex Spatial Sequences is a class about manipulating images to convey information about the space. In this project the goal was to select a movie and show trough drawing and photographs what the video tried to express. The movie selected for this project was The Grand Budapest Hotel, directed by Wes Anderson. The scene representend in the drawing is a chase and I tried to capture space and movement through the overlay of drawings of the internal views, photographs and paths followed by the characters.
