The regeneration of Complexo do Jacarezinho belongs to the federal Brazilian program PAC 2 (Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento).

Situated in the Northern region, the favela is the 3rd biggest of Rio de Janeiro city. It is characterized by a high density population and a problematic accessibility. It´s surrounded by industries and abandoned sheds (which are in some cases occupied) and it´s closed between natural and anthropic barriers: the disused GE industry on the Northern side, the Jacaré River and a glass industry on the Southern side (refuse glass production causes lung diseases in population living in the neighborhood) a dismissed railway on the Easthern side and the polluted Salgado River on the Western side.

According to these urban conditions the project intend to: elevate railway to improve connection and accessibility to the city; create a brand new square for recreation and an access to preexisting facilitites (elementary and high school, clinic, escola de samba); build a boulevard crossing the crowed favela part for the people and services to get a better access to the community and to improve the air quality; a new nursery; a new senior citizens center; the Jacaré riverbank regeneration and new mixeduse buildings (shops at the street level, apartments flat at high levels); enlarge the existing football field and turn it into a sporting center; regenerate the Salgado River and create a linear park along the riverbank. The aim project also is about: generating a cultural center in the region of the existing public library by restoring the ancient Silo and building a new center for digital inclusion of the population and a public park replacing the abandoned GE industry.

The project includes important infrastructures such as 3 km of new water and sewerage system and new illumination points. The idea is to enlarge streets to improve the services access and to provide a new and better organized waste plan, including also new collecting points and a compacting center.

According to the transportation plan, new bus stops are suggested and a new line for “micro bus” from the Metro Station to the community (along the new boulevard) is created; a new bike lane crosses the whole community.

Abandoned sheds, now illegaly occupied, will be replaced by 2240 apartments at max distance of 2,5 km (according to the Minha Casa Minha Vida program) to reallocate people of the community living in risk areas.

The Quilombola Park project is included in the Lins community regeneration plan. It is part of the second edition of Brazilian federal program called PAC (Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento).

Our task was concerned with the development of the previous and executive urban project for three of ten slums in the Lins complex: Camarista Meier, Boca do Mato and Barão de Santo Ângelo.

The Lins community suffers a difficult in accessibility and a lack of public recreation areas. Because of the hard topography, characterized by morros (hills), the identification of adequate areas for public spaces represented a challenge.

The Park is situated on a plain on the highest part of Boca do Mato favela, in a very panoramic point.

Two stairs provide the access. The first one is placed on the Northern side, in an area that is still considered as “formal city”. The second is placed on the Southern side, where the main entrance of the Park is located being a communitarian stair. On the Eastern limit of the Park the project foresees a new street linking the three communities.

The chosen area is a plain strip limited by two hills on the West and East side. The idea is to maintain the natural topography, to increase the vegetation and introduce recreational uses for the community.

At the main entrance (on the West side) the project introduces an info-point - a reformed abandoned house for communitarian use -, and, in front of it, on a small hill, a solarium with chaise lounge. On the other side it purports to use the natural downhill as playground with slides. While at the foot of the hill the proposal is to re-use the dismissed water tank as public shower and reservoir for the new toilets on its side. The weather is hot in Rio de Janeiro for the most part of the year and water supply is not always assured in the communities. For these reasons showers are very common in the parks for both fun and refreshment.

Along the park a picnic area with a wood deck, pergolas, a bar and the barbecue equipment, for typical Brazilian churrasco is foreseen. On the side of the eating area, on a recycled rubber floor, the project places a linear play made with a continuous steel pipe, concrete benches and rubber hills to jump and to slide. On the right side the downhill is used as an open-air theater. The top of the hill is partially excavated to create the sporting area with a football and basketball field and an open-air gym.

Following the longitudinal borders of the park, viewpoints and gardens are designed.

The team developed the executive project for the Olympic Park of Rio de Janeiro, designed by AECOM. The strategy was to design a landscape of native species, endemic to the existing ecosystems in the Rio de Janeiro State.

The site is a flat peninsula of reclaimed land, approximately 120 hectares in the district of Barra de Tijuca, Southwest of Rio, that terminates a valley formed between two morros. Interpreting the form of the peninsula, combined with the course of the valley, creates a clear axial connection between the Av.da Embaixador Abelardo Bueno (North) and the Barra Live Site (South). The Olympic Way is created by deflecting this axis to the East and West generating a flamboyant icon for the Rio Games.

The character of the planting will change as the spectators move along the Olympic Way. The North Park will be dominated by forest species, typical of inland landscapes, whilst the South Park will feature planting found along Rio’s coastline. Focal spaces are formed within each Garden Terrace, creating a platform for overlay such as sponsor pavilions, artwork or events.

The Gardens and the Primary Tree Structure have a contemporary design which interacts with the surrounding landscape which is defined by fragments of Restinga and the Florestas de Transição da Barra da Tijuca. In the waterfront sectors, the park is literally interconnected with the adjacent ecosystems by eco-corridors increasing substantially its ecological and regulating potential.

The principles of bio-climatic comfort (biology/ecology/climatology) were followed when locating the different plant species. According to the climate conditions in Rio some aspects have been considered: the reduction of heat, the protection against strong winds, the adsorption of humidity, reducing water pressure, promoting of evaporation and the reduction of adsorption of radiation.

The workshop focuses on Ramat Eliyahu, a low-income neighborood in Rishon Le Zion, the third biggest city in Israel. In the district lives 40% of jewish Ethiopians who are in very poor conditions. The urban structure has an human scale, every place can be walking reached, but the buildings and the streets are neglected. There’s lack of activities and shops. The neighborood is located on the city border next to Holon, in a very accessible area, but under-served by public transportation. The multicultural context of the district is the main asset for the city. An important example of integration for Israel is expected. The project was developed facing the municipality and the local movements.

The idea is that Ramat needs to transform itself receiving new people and functions, building new infrastructures, and refurbishing the existing buildings and open areas. The concept identifies two main stripes, the “boulevard”, where the central shopping area is, and the “green bend”, an interesting green slope with a wilde vegetation and beautiful views around. The project wants to increase the shopping and to improve the public area in the boulevard. The green bend preserves the wilde vegetation mixing it with different path and areas (cycling, walking, agriculture). The stripes connections is made through several “fingers” where the green bend paths enter (cycling and agriculture areas) improving the public spaces. All the flats have actually a small garden in front that could be a productive vegetable garden for the inhabitants. The “fingers” are today pedestrian areas just to be improved.

The second phase of this project suggests to introduce and to spread a campus into the neighborood.

On the east side of the district, today a small industrial area, the project proposes to place new residences and mixed uses connected to the center by the “fingers”.

The workshop consisted in building a straw bale house for a family in the city of Rome with “Beyond Architecture Group” architecture firm. After the workhsop I kept working with the studio on this and other projects.

The house occupies the area of an ancient and typical bar in the neighborhood Quadraro.

The project consists in a timberframe structure and straw bale walls covered by a cocciopesto plaster and straw bale for the roof insulation. Every week-end since February until July 2012 a group of students and young professionals built up the house from foundations to finishes, learning straw bale building technique, cocciopesto plaster and building together with the house’s owners. It is a low-cost solution for a very energy-efficient building as its porous properties keeps the interior warm in winter and cool in summer. publications: http://inhabitat.com/bag-officinamobile-builds-romes-first-straw-bale-house/#comments http://www.archdaily.com.br/br/01-92071/a-primeira-casa-urbana-construida-com-fardos-de-palha-em-roma-italia/ http://www.archilovers.com/p85007/La-casa-di-paglia-del-Quadraro

The project consists in a compact volume carved in its central part to obtain the hall. The vacuum created by subtraction is the heart of the project: a courtyard enclosed on three sides and covered with a transparent structure.The main faรงade, where the atrium and the court are, is in front of the park to have a more protected access to the school. The effect is that the park continues into the court. This fusion is reinforced through the window treatment: screenprinted trees are visible both from the court and the school.

The volume is extremely smooth to reduce energy losses and to produce the best useful spaces. For this purpose the classes are squared to ensure an optimal didactic activity.

From the energy point of view the glass windows on South allow a passive income for heating in winter and natural light for adequate illumination of the classrooms.

The roof, accessible through an external ramp, is meant to be used as an outdoor classroom covered by the external wood frame, in which children can devote themselves to the cultivation of vegetable gardens. The inner part of the ramp is also used as playgorund.

The building structure consists in a laminated wood frame, partially pre-assembled in the factory. The walls are made with straw bales, 100x37x47, stacked one on the other in the space between the columns. The straw is a great building material beacuse of high thermal insulation properties. The low energy consumption, in fact, has significant benefits in terms of environmental comfort and economic costs. The plaster (directly applied on the straw bales) it is a natural mixture of earthenware, slaked lime and sand.

The two project concern the stage experience in the “Arquitetura Baixo Impacto” architectural firm in the city of Florianópolis, South of Brasil. The work consisted of a studying phase of the projects and the eco-building approach with local materials and then an important hands-on construction phase.

The first project, a house in the Rio Tavares district, in Florianópolis was ranked among the three more sustainable projects of the Brasil. The three floor house has different environmental sustainability solutions: rainwater reuse, chimney effect, solar panels, garden roof and efficient fireplace. Moreover wood and glass elements are recycled. On the site I worked building earth walls with three different techniques: cordwood (earth and small eucalyptus trunks) on the inner side, adobe (handmade brick wall) and a 9 meters bottle and heart wall on the outer side.

The second project is a surf club on the beach. The project improve the café area by including a solar-wind system and a phytodepuration lake. The structure is built with autoclaved eucalyptus. The construction concerned an outer side earth wall with the use of two techniques: cordwood and pau-a-pique (a wood frame with earth filling).

The work experience consists in the renovation of an apartment near Naples. The 50´s apartment consisted in three rooms, a kitchen and a living room. The renew merges the kitchen and the livingroom in a open space parcially devided by a kitchen peninsula. The lobby and the corridor, tipical of a ‘50 house, have disappeared to enlarge the main room and to have immediatly access to the apartment. On the right side of the entrance a walnut wood stairs leads to a small “tower” to access to the terrace with a view on Naples. On the left side a boiserie hides a closet. “Invisible” walnut wood doors are flush on the white walls. The apartment mantains three rooms: two bedrooms and the office. One of two bathroom is enlarged and both have been changed in the finishes and design.

TASK: Master degree thesis SUPERVISOR: Salvatore Porcaro TUTOR: Lorenzo Romito LOCATION: Rome, Italy YEAR: 2011

The following study deals with the housing crisis in Italy.

The aim is to demonstrate that is possible to supply the housing demand by recovering the public obsolete properties, on our territory. The object of analysis is the Roma population who never had easy access to a stable housing. At the hosting request of the gypsy people, Italy has always responded with the camps policies. This response arises from the incorrect assumption that all Roma are nomads and they base their living culture in the camps.

This research investigates a specific case of the complex reality of Rome, where the housing crisis of the Italian population is combined with the Roma population one.

The objective is to demonstrate the widespread abandonment of the camps politics to promote a diversified approach to the different housing needs, as happens for all citizens. The study focused on the real experience of a Kosovo community currently living in a last generation camp in the Rome suburb.

The book is structured as a story of transition from the slum, “Casilino 900”, where the community lived up to the settlement demolition, to the “equipped camp.” The failure of both housing solutions, one abusive, the other regular, has prompted the community to organize themselves and move out of the camp to claim the right to housing. Through a field study and participation to the assembly moved by the Kosovo community, a project development was built.

This study wants to show that the Roma issue, declared “emergency” in 2008, can only be faced with an integrative approach of these populations. The research tried to respond to housing needs from the broad emergency in Rome, and not in the specific Roma case. An ethnic approach, in fact, has produced the wrong camps policies and ghettos. Among the possible solutions the one proposed here is the self-recovering of the large real estate portfolio abandoned in the capital and claimed by different urban realities. The self-recovering solution for the housing problem and against the soil waste is already tested in several examples in Rome.

public costs: 7 € / person a day (1.085 €/month for a 5 person family)

Gli slavi sono cresciuti al Casilino 900, si sono radicati lì, hanno sempre avuto un tipo di vita “libera”. Qui ci sono le regole, e le regole non piacciono a nessuno.

Inside the Camping River

Vogliamo creare un tavolo di trattative, perché noi vogliamo solo case, non vivere con due o tre mila persone in un recinto Bajram (Kosovo)

Qui sto bene perchè noi Rom abbiamo bisogno di vivere con la nostra famiglia.

In un altro posto non sarebbe possibile.

Io sono romeno,ma i romeni che vivono qui da prima di noi non si ribellano mai. Hanno paura.

Dimitri (Romania)

Jonut (Romania)

Sono al River da tre anni. Qui è tutto più lontano. Se non hai la macchina non riesci a lavorare.

Daniel (Romania)

Qui al campo succedono cose brutte, per questo spero che un giorno andremo a vivere dove ci sono altre famgilie italiane. Solo così i bambini possono crescere bene.

PRÓXIMO - DISTANTE This is the final project of the photographic technique course at Ateliê da Imagem (Rio de Janeiro, 2015).

The topic was the “afraid”. I developed the idea of the walls and barriers that people build in the city because they are afraid of what is different. This is very common in Rio de Janeiro, that is charaterized by a strong social inequality.

As an Architect and Urban Planner my interest always focuses on the city. Influenced by architectural practice, I’m always searching the lines and geometries in my shots.

URBAN

RIFLESSI I like to discover the reflex to understand how objects change on different surfaces and materials and how is the effect on the observer .

I started this type of analysis in the city of Venice, where the objects reflect in the streets and canals creating watercolors .

“More often than not, I approach a place by walking. For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret hearth of the known awaits just around the corner”.
