Improvement of an ancient roman tank, Formia [Italy] Competition
Collaboration with Andr辿 Veiga, February 2015
The reinterpretation of a structure with such an important historical significance leads to the reflection of the heritage interventions. While there is a strong cultural trend of implementing museum ethics where it concerns old structures, one can argue that, in an attempt to address the history of current society, we should aim to convert the historical into contemporary and live heritage, where the collective participation can happen. As such, the old will now be inclusive of the whole social and cultural environment in which it exists, and can overcome the obsolete and take on a definition in the virtual space o knowledge 足 thus recognized as a symbol of what it once was and adopting new responsibilities towards the urban and social context where it is located. During the analysis of the object of this intervention, the urban and tectonic potential of this space stood out. In an attempt to enhance these features we propose two phases in the project: the cistern and the square. In the first stage, we propose keeping the tank and adding a new lightweight metallic structure that adapts to the pre足e xisting structure without fundamentally changing it. This structure consists of three galleries which shape the perimeter of the space, freeing up the central area of the tank. Platforms and an auditorium would be installed in this area which may be used for different events (such as pop足u p projects, performances, concerts, etc.), as well as an auditorium which would act as a supporting structure for the appropriation. 6

RUTE FREIRE WORK | 2009.2015
As an expression of intervention within the tank, it is proposed the extension of the steel structure for the urban space of the square, working as an extension of space appropriation in the hidden space. Thus, it is possible to renew the urban space of square Guglielmo Marconi. We intend to develop an easily changeable space. The space will thus be to represent the spatial fexibility and adaptability to social and cultural requirements which reduces his temporal character, and includes it in the urban construction process and intellectual and virtual heritage production.

House No24, Lins [Austria]
Refurbishment of a listed town house Collaboration with Andreas Rumpfhuber at Expanded Design, August 2014
The H24 project consists in responding to a registered building in Linz. The aim is to intervene in two areas, which served to support ancient dwellings of the building, and converts them into two minimum housing modules. It is proposed the installation of a modular part that contains the essential infrastructure to occupation of space (kitchen and bathroom) freeing the space for the free use of space. It is aimed a complete adaptation of this module to the pre-existence, without proposing any demolition or alteration of initial conditions. The piece designed fits into the void and adapts to the old gaps the construction and ensures the minimal conditions for housing space. In an attempt to emphasize the new intervention plans in space looking a heterogeneous and distinct image of the original building elements, drawing a very solid piece, with very rigid lines, and with a strong color, standing out in the pre-existence and proposing a new spatial experience. 10

The project consists of the renovation of the Australian company offices Oracle, located in Vila Nova de Gaia. In a very simple approach, it was decided by a minimal language where the color and the lettering had the main function of organizing space.

The building is organized around a void, where is arranged a set of ramps with cultural content, organized to simulate a system of cultural production: creation - test - maturation - disclosure. This system is developed according to a set of ramps that converges to a center defined as area of the auditorium, which organizes the empty factory. The goal is to create a self - sustainable system to create new projects to achieve the most diverse social needs. The ramps create the relations between the different spaces/functions. Each ramp has a (work areas, staging areas, exhibition, presentation, living areas) aim to recreate the production system.

The vegetation treatment is based on the reduced killing of pre-existing trees. In attempt to protect nature rather than impose on it, the proposal creates different levels of vegetation controlThe park, containing the cultural hotspots, will be also defined by the pedestrian / bicycle paths. 21

RUTE FREIRE WORK | 2009.2015
The cultural hotspots supports the organization of the territory, the city’s new image and the creation of an urban structure which defines the cycle/ pedestrian paths that integrates the park. These buildings, visually connected, show different organizations between them, and stimulate cultural activities of several kinds. The monolithic image tries to integrate the natural landscape, exploring an elder cultural/ natural dynamic of the territory. The vertical configuration approaches to the setting of the trees, and the light, explored by the several openings, is the main interior element. The housing concept is based on the cultural and urban memory, and tries to conserve the low density image and also the natural qualities of the site. It’s proposed three different typologies, and which one of them presents variations on their organizations and different occupations of the outdoors. The wood construction keeps the naturalist character of the site, and thins the layering between the natural and the cultural. The openings of the housing feed the imagination of the people, and create a play of shadows. Also, these openings are controlled in a way that no bedrooms contacts directly with the street (respecting Swedish noise regulations), and

Collective Housing, Porto [Portugal] Urban planning + collective housing
Academic project 2009-2010 (Orientation: Jorge Carvalho - ANC arquitectos)
The intervention area is one of the most emblematic areas of the city of Porto. The presence of landmarks such as the Mouzinho da Silveira garden and OMA’s project, Casa da Música makes this area a very intense urban core. Infrastructure support like the underground network (Souto Moura’s project), bus station and road infrastructures is essential to enter and exit the intervention area. The design aims to increase the fluidity between the metro entrance and the surrounding, creating visual contact that emphasizes the monumentality envisaged by user space through light/dark contrast.

The building appears at the intersection of a set of visual axisand pathways defined by urban proposal. It is developed in a compositional fragmentation accompanying the topography, allowing greater permeability between the different dimensions through pathways between the different building blocks (which are connectedvia a common lower level). This leads to the formal program distribution, which enables individual functioning in various parts of the program.
