Despite strong statements, architecture is actually about emotions. It does not matter if less is more, bore or enough. In architecture, the feeling is more.

Highlighting the questions of the metropolitan periphery was the starting point of this project. In the dynamics of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ), the periphery is situated in a set of dependency: economical, cultural and political from the hegemonic center of Rio de Janeiro. For this reason, one of the greatest urban challenges in RMRJ today is not only our mobility, based on huge daily displacements, as also the deficiencies in this planning and management. The analyses of the current urban practices, that here we call “center-periphery”, showed us an usual answer based on the idea of metropolitan mobility as the construction of traffic infrastructures. This practice, alone, is not able to deal with peripheral requests. Although this ideology professes the access of the peripheral population to the resources of the centrality, this at the other hand reinforces the domination and power of the central area of the city.² São João de Meriti, our case study, is the city with the largest demographic density in Latin America today, with a few more than 13 million inhabitants for square kilometer and 99,9% of the land occupied. The city is sectioned by huge infrastructures of transportation: two highways and a couple of train railways. Furthermore, the limits are composed of two rivers: Sarapuí and Pavuna.

In the analyses of the daily displacement, we took into account three parameters: distance, time and cost to categorize not only the quality of the displacement, but also the needing (or not) of autonomy (as a center) of SJM. For making this graphic, the parameters of the metro were used: at the time that the study was ongoing, we fixed 30 km for 1h for R$ 4,30 as referential. In another words, one could run 30 km in 1h paying R$ 4,30 by the metro. Using this graphic, it is possible to realize that even though having a daily mass movement superior to the others (and because of that, the one which tends to takes more time) the path to the major centrality of RMRJ is clearly the one with lower relative time of displacement. For this reason, it is possible to say that the urban mobility politics in RMRJ is acting to reaffirm the condition of “peripheralization�, maintaining the development focus on the actual center of RJ. Performing as the major area of jobs, services, cultural and leisure facilities.
Confronting the simplistic point of view of the periphery as a homogeneous and isotropic gridiron, we identified the parts apart of the surroundings because of the morphology - ones we call “enclaves”. Formed because of topography, rivers, highways and so on. These “enclaves”, makes the territory very like an “urban patchwork”, that doesn’t use to connect, composed by parts almost closed inside itself. The step after recognizing these enclaves was to categorize in order to understand their own characteristics. The following strategy seeks to fix a specific projectual guideline in each piece to guarantee that the whole of enclaves works as a network. The diagram of star unfolds the particularities of each fragment found in the grid, with these diagrams we can break the paradigm of an isotropic identity of the peripheral grid. Also, this systematization helps us to easily understand a complex and huge area, otherwise, would be much harder without a rationalizing system. Now, it is important to highlight that although there is a gradation logic, it doesn’t mean value of quality, classifying something better than the other. This grouping strategy only turns explicit the specific condition of each piece.
Our proposal takes into account the current Master Plan, which already identifies the need for sub-centralities and a connection inside the city. We, otherwise propose that these new centralities could be placed in the enclaves because of their morphological potential of attraction. These parts of the grid, closed in itself, oppose the common understanding of the ‘generic city’, with an infinite urban grid. Now we take an approach closer to what Albert Pope calls “ladder”, in his book with the same name.
“At first glance, the ladder appears to be nothing more than a simple fragment of the grid, a single spacing or fringe element from its continuous pattern. (...) In contrast with the infinite continuity of the open grid, the ladder is a finite, indivisible, hierarchical structure. As a closed isolated fragment, it lacks the potential for integration into an extensive urban field. In contrast to the grid, the ladder forms a singular and exclusive route/root system that generates a fundamentally closed pattern of organization.”³ Albert Pope, 1996
We choose the fragment called “strip”, in the neighborhood “Vilar dos Teles” as a case study. The choice was made because this one has the largest area of contact with the surroundings, evoking more transformations to the city. The second important point is that this mostly residential area is connecting two anchors: on one side with the train station “Coelho da Rocha” and in the other one, with the Institutional area of SJM. In the star graphic, we figure out that the position of the houses in the land caused great pedestrian displacements (around 520 to 600 meters). The unorganized squares becomes barriers. This point reveals the opportunity to create “slowly passages” to act as a political space, the one where the people could meet each other, taking into account material and socio-cultural preexistences.
The project for “the strip” can be resumed in the creation of these “slowly passages” into a system of free and public spaces. Setting an urban park, fragmented by the morphology, and also connect for the VLT, it takes as opportunity the spaces between the square and the streets at the perimeter of the strip. The real strength of these public spaces is provided by a couple of buildings that must replace the houses which now is blocking the urban grid (where the people who lives today will be moved into). This new drawing provokes a relation between the construct and free areas of the project. Also, the number of housing provided by the project is superior to what is needed to replace the actual dwellers, which gives us the opportunity to propose new facilities with cultural programs, a chance to place a job in an office, and so on. Diversifying the use of the land and turning the city more dynamic. All of this can provide more appropriation, meeting, and identification with the place.

C A L A M I T Y AT E L I E R ATMOSPHERIC ARCHITECTURE Arte Sella is a place for extreme contact with the sublime, provided by the large valley of preserved nature and art. In this sense, it is important to understand the ethos of the park: a place where the artists produce their work with materials provided by nature and that nature modifies it over time and season. In short, Arte Sella is for this project: a place for deep symbiosis between nature and art. Considering this project, our approach is to use architecture as the structure of support for this symbiosis – an architecture that does not struggle for protagonism. Instead of composition, we propose an architecture of disposition. Not objects, but atmospheres. This approach puts architecture not as the medium between experience and the sublime, but rather as a stimulator of one’s own path. As such, architecture is freed from the need to mimic or translate nature: we are invited to experience nature without translators, through our bare presence in it.

Park Masterplan Our first proposition is a comprehensive masterplan for Arte Sella. The masterplan approach focuses on understanding Arte Sella as a park, considering the buildings proposed by the competition as structuring parts of this park. Given the large scale of Art Sella, if architectures are considered isolated, they would claim a sort of absolute individuality. Instead, a territorial approach considers these architectures in a way that the relation between objects within this territory reinforce the understanding of Arte Sella as a whole. This approach led us to propose three intertwining fields to conform the park masterplan for Arte Sella, which are not hierarchically organised, but complementary of each other. Field 1: Memory-Course. The first strategy seeks to understand the pre-existence of the Arte Natura course as mark of memory. Memory as a course implies considering time not as instant, but as a fluid matter that includes therefore the changes coming from nature, even with the storm.Architecture becomes a path that leads us to the works that, although modified by trees, or excess of rain, were shaped in their memory by these temporal events. The result is an architecture that works as if to materialise a field of memories – those that happened and those to be remembered. Field 2: Figure of presence. The second field is associated with the ateliers’ location. They were positioned in a wide plane that merges in the extremities with the dense vegetation that climbs the mountains. The strategy of placement of these workshops follows the logic of figure, as absolute geometry is positioned in a vast natural background. As figures, although they have a precise presence, their existence is minimized in relation to this wide natural space.
Field 3: Infrastructural ground. The third field unites the most consolidated infrastructures of the park, in order to organise and potentially stimulate different kinds of use, from artists, to visitors and staff. The third field is Arte Sella’s ground – a topographic logic that organises activities. Functions follow nature. Firstly we propose that a museum is placed near the main entrance, this location is guided by the previous path of Arte Natura, one’s that suffered several changes by the storm. For this reason, it’s important to reinforce that’s strength by the strategy of a memory-course. We propose that auditorium, workshop and an expanded restaurant to be placed in the ‘end’ of the park, working as an attractor to visitors: in this way, a ordinary visit to the restaurant for feed implies engaging with the park as a whole.
With regards to the auditorium, workshop and expansion of the restaurant, we propose an approach that takes advantage of the open space in between existing buildings. The relationship between these architectures now forms an unconstructed space where all facades communicate with the open area, making it more important than each object per se. Open space is the infrastructural ground that articulates and converges different activities and flows.

VA L E D O R I O J U N D I A Í “...instead of accelerating change and a sense of uncertainty architecture must slow down our experience of reality in order to create an experiential background for grasping and understanding change.” (Juhani Pallasmaa, 1999) At first glance, the streets are the most important way to organize the urban space, it also serves to make explicit the limits of the urban sprawl over the rivers. In spite of all these benefits, it either encloses the rivers. In this attitude of flanking the river on both sides with the streets, the most important relationship is broken: between the human body and the body of water. Seeking acceleration, we lost the meeting. This is how this proposal faces the revitalization of Jundiaí river. In order to produce and reinforce the presence of the river, there is no other way: only the human body produces the memory of a space, only in this friction the place is produced. Aside, over, inside, in the human scale: the architectural one. Only taking a large reading and acting strategically in specific points is possible to reaffirm the river as presence, through the human body.

Honorable Mention - Proposal for the competition for the Revitalization of the Valley of Jundiaí River - Jundiaí, São Paulo. Project Year: 2019
Ecology and Hydrology
Urban Mobility
The proposal not only deals with the Jundiaí river but also with the Guapeva river and a couple of small rivers: Colônia and Walkíria. Firstly as a strategy of containment of inundation, using wetlands and bowls of detention to diminish the impact of these rivers in the major one during the strongly rainy days. The second point is that through the restructuring of the vegetation in the bank of the river, it is possible to establish green corridors as important connections to the protection areas: The Walkíria river connecting to the “Território de Gestão da Serra do Japi” and the Guapeva River, with a green corridor connecting to the Special Zone Protection. All of these actions can provide a restructuring of the whole City Ecosystem.
The project also proposes the use of the existing railway as a new modal of local displacement. With stations apart 500m one by one, the idea is the adaption of the railway to be used by tram. With less impact in the urban organization, this modal of transport doesn’t create a barrier as a train use to do. Besides, the new use of the railway gives back an utility for this space, which today is useless to the city, and also extend the connection for the inhabitants that comes from São Paulo. However, the main attitude of mobility is in the use of the bicycle as a modal of transport. For this reason, the path designed by the current Master Plan was taken into account, with few changes. In the marges of Jundiaí River, the bicycle path was considered on both sides instead of just one.

CATALOG OF STRATEGIES
STRATEGY 01
Linear Path:
New street section. Focusing on the pedestrian as the first, the proposal redraws the measures of the street and sidewalks, adopting principles of safety and urban mobility. The new setting seeks to emphasize the protagonism of the river in the urban landscape and also promote urbanity, having better infrastructure and access to active modals of transport.
STRATEGY 02
Systematic Operations:
Hybrid Wetland In order to minimize the floodings and create a preservation area, the hybrid wetland was designed to absorb the great flow of the water coming from “Várzea Paulista” to Jundiaí river. The implementation of the wetland has the following layers: overflow stream, sedimentation zone, buffer zone and horizontal wetland with native vegetation. Thereby, this strategy promotes a rich environment and reduce substantially the floodings while purifying the water.
New river section.
Leisure Space
In order to rethink the section of the river and the streams that disembogue in the Jundiaí river, the proposal must guarantee the fluidity all over its course, activate the local ecosystem and repair the riparian vegetation. These acts creates a natural protection against silting up.
In order to prevent floods in all over the course of the river, the strategy seeks: preserving the actual drawing of the stream, recover the riparian vegetation, construct bio pools in specific places and enlarge the green areas turning into small public squares. This operation must be applied to the cases of backyards without use. However, just in cases the land is straight connected to the bank of the river.
TOWER
Territorial Guide
The towers are important elements of visual presence. It acts as an instrument of territorial guide on the large scale of the proposal. In this sense, the towers create a rhythm to the landscape and reduce the whole scale of the project. Apart from 325m one by one, the rhythm allows a reading of the intervention in all of the riverfront, which creates a landmark in the sky and also marking referential for the passengers. The implementation of this vertical element brings to the river tree dimensions. There is no more need to stay right in front of the river to feel it. So, this element leads to the presence of the river to the nearest surroundings. The tower already keeps important uses to the urban infrastructure: bathrooms, bike stands, drinking fountains, depository and space for vigilance. Also in the upper level, hosts a belvedere.

APPROACH 01 - SOCIAL-HOUSING PRE-EMPTION AREA Considering all the interventions in course, other urban transformations must happen. Consequently, the value of the land must grow. Urban and landscaping interventions use to bring the attention of investors. Imaging this scenery, the actual terrain named by the estate as “social-housing pre-emption� must attend also to the necessities of urbanity generated by the project. Adopting all the strategies, the new buildings must give part of the land to public use. Creating a kind of square connected to the river is easier to ensure a place for social interaction.
APPROACH 02 - SHOPPING AREA In the area with the greater daily movement of people, situated in the Mall and Street shops, strategies to reinforce this activity and urbanity. The sidewalks were converted into small squares to guarantee the possibility of appropriation and contact with the river. In these squares, beyond the mobility, new kiosks were placed. Also, the vegetation was designed to provide shadow and thermal comfort.
APPROACH 03 - LEISURE Focusing on an approach with the surroundings, the area of SESC and Botanic Garden, the leisure strategies were used to promote this atmosphere in this zone. Thus, this space was thought of like a sporty and leisure area for all of the ages. Also, it was thought to be adapted to open market, shows and, for sure, different kinds of sports practice. Wooden decks, grandstands, linear path, oblique planes to lay down and contemplate, among other stuff was suggested to reinforce urban life.
APPROACH 04 - INDUSTRIAL - RIVER BEACH In the area of big industries and sheds with huge dimensions, far from the scale of the pedestrian, the proposal seeks to achieve another scale of use: a macrometrolitan space of leisure. A river beach united to a preservation park for flora and fauna was designed. Thus, the most important is making possible the urban appropriation respecting the scale of the surroundings. This area acts as a place of decompression of the urban environment chaos, it aims to receive people of all the macrometropolitan area to enjoy a huge dimension leisure space.
CLOUD A structure made by a galvanized steel pipe creates a spatial grid. This grid intersects the existent concrete structure, holding into it. A system of irrigation is made up of reclaimed water storage, working as a shower for people and plants. A floor gives access to a higher level. The box is covered by a slim agricultural fabric, turning possible the use as a greenhouse. The empty box limits the greenhouse-space. It creates an inside and a behind. The cloud floats, refreshes, gather and cultivate. The sun provides good condition to stay The garden blooms.

DIS(CONNECTION) The following study focuses on the peripheric urban condition of Brasilia. Taguatinga, our case study is a city connected to the Pilot Plan by the metro. The city in question receives in the last years a building very much like a “BIGNESS”. Far from the initial thought of urban planning which makes the city true, the building seems to be, at the first saw, disarranged. Planned to host the new administrative city center, the huge building is empty today. But, instead of looking at all the troubles this disconnection can bring, what else this kind of arrangement can show us? Looking patiently to the scale of the constructions in the urban grid, and also the consolidated landscape, it is clear that a huge building placed inside the urban gridiron could break the actual atmosphere. The hypothesis here lays on a different set of urban displacement, taking advantage of the metropolitan connections to place metropolitan buildings. In this case, a formal break would be not a problem, but instead, an achievement.

This project pursues a condition of private collective condition. Dealing with a huge and spread city, Rio de Janeiro, the project is situated in Deodoro. Deodoro station connects tree train lines, but have a low demographic density. Also, the railway creates a barrier with two walls that protects the people of the train. Taking advantage of all of these conditions, the design of the building seeks to promote connections between the two sides of Deodoro. The major goal of the project is to hack the private interest to improve the urbanity of the city. Using a private building, we design passages with the public interest, following the “Disposition” logic of Keller Easterling: “Disposition, in common parlance, usually describes an unfolding relationship between potentials. It describes a tendency, activity, faculty, or property in either beings or objects - a propensity within a context.”¹ In this study, we can create four types of relationships between the buildings and surroundings: 1 - Visual and connected 2 - Only visual but disconnected 3 - Disconnected and no visual relation 4 - A square in front of the facade
