Psychiatric Hospital São Pedro: From Invisibility to Integration

T H E P ROJECT A Place of Forgotten Memories

The stigmatization of mental illness is a practice that dates back to the end of the eighteenth century when it began to be perceived as a disease that could be studied and treated. Asylums are used throughout the world as spaces of social control, preventing inmates from coming into contact with and being seen by society. Invisibility was the main purpose of these spaces.

This work proposes the integration of the hospital with the city and society on two scales: urban and architectural. At the urban scale, it proposes the redevelopment of the area through the expansion of the existing road network towards the hospital. At the architectural scale, the hospital becomes a multifunctional complex through the creation of a Center of Coexistence and Culture, cultural facilities and workspaces for private enterprise. History and architecture are converted into tools for the deconstruction of stigmas, resignification of spaces and social integration.

Academic

The São Pedro Psychiatric Hospital was the first psychiatric treatment institution in the Southern Brazil and remains the largest in the region. Since psychiatric reform, the site has been subject to a continuous process of disuse and abandonment. Financial and political difficulties coupled with a lack of infrastructure and accessibility on the site make the recovery of the complex, which is of great historical, cultural and financial interest, extremely difficult.

Psychiatric Hospital São Pedro: From Invisibility to Integration

Academic

Existing Situation

The São Pedro Psychiatric Hospital is located at an important city node of Porto Alegre. The site is bordered by important streets and avenues that connect the whole city in east–west and north-south orientations. Despite the area’s easy accessibility, São Pedro’s site does not share the same level of integration due to the block’s monumental

dimensions and lack of permeability. The hospital complex acts as an island within the city. The complex consists of 41 buildings, five of which are listed as historically important and in need of a restoration process. The rest of the complex has no historical relevance because of its disorganized and unplanned construction.

Final Masterplan

Academic

The vast majority of the buildings are abandoned and some are even unfinished. In order to allow the expansion and entrance of the existing urban tissue onto the hospital’s site, the remaining 38 buildings are removed. The void that is created allows existing streets to be extended and connected. The new urban tissue that arises reduces the dimensions of

the block by half and increases its permeability. Two neighboring areas of public interest are preserved and also connected to the city, enabling its future urbanization. The historical facades that once were hidden from the city’s inhabitants can now be seen. Bridges are built into the island; the hospital becomes part of the city.

Longitudinal Section Hospital São Pedro is an unfinished project; only half of the original plan was realized. The original project was drawn following the Panopticon architectural typology; surveillance, control and isolation can be seen through its construction and site location. Architecture is not merely functional; it reflects a system of values and beliefs. A break with the existing architecture is necessary in order to change these values . An axis is established marking the void left by the removal of the original main entrance. A series of porticos conducts the public through the new access. The panopticon logic is reversed: the entrance that

once led to an enclosed building that was a dead end for the great majority of patients now leads to a free and open space. A mixed-use approach is sought to ensure not only the economic viability of the project, but the liveliness of the area. The hospital becomes setting of a Center of Coexistence and Culture, a Cultural Center and an office building. An architecture is created in contrast to the framework of exclusion and invisibility. Lightness, openness, permeability and integration are its new values.

The complex utilizes rainwater and greywater treatment through a bio filtering system located in linear water features spread throughout the project. The new annex facade is made of U-Glass system, which filters 30% of incoming sunlight.

Another solar protection feature is the doubleskin facade system, which promotes continuous air circulation, aiding in the thermal comfort of the building. Cross ventilation and an HVAC system enable the regulation of internal temperature.

T H E P ROJECT A New Approach for a Mixed-use Tower

The competition “New York Vertical City Pro”, hosted by Archmedium, sought proposals for a new and innovative mixed-use tower in New York City consisting not only of offices, but also temporary housing, cultural spaces and leisure public spaces. The contestants had to envision a twenty-first century “Vertical City” tower in the city of New York. According to the philosopher Zygmunt Bauman, we live “in a liquid modern life”, where there are no permanent bonds. Life is defined by ephemerality. Architecture takes the important and complex role of dealing with circumstances that change as quickly as they are born. The virtual world has made the physical world more accessible. We are all always connected, regardless of our geographical location. All at once, distances, personal relations and structures that rule our society are reshaped by the influence of virtual media. The traditional zoning of programs by segregation becomes questionable in a reality where monotony and repetition act together for an inevitable expiry date. Cultural and leisure spaces, hotels, retail, work: programs that historically coexisted in mixed-use buildings that often resulted in “program stacking”, or even in volume distinction. Is that all that mixed-use towers have to offer?

Professional Competition

New York City can be defined as an urban symbol of professional progress, dreams, ambition and innovation. Although the city that is the opposite of monotonous, it still exhibits repetitive and tedious work spaces in the majority of its buildings. This raises the question: Is the architecture of office buildings not in sync with the image of New York? How do we deal with this contradiction?

The program is fragmented and interspersed throughout the building. Technology is responsible for the virtual connection and cohesive functionality of the fragmented program dispersed in the tower and in the city.

contains. As such, a spatial library is created. Before assigning a function to each volume being established, there was an exploration as to how the different spaces in the library related to one another and what ambience was created. A vast array of possibilities are suddenly generated for the use of the distinct program and the many roles that distinct adjacencies play. The virtual age in which we live allows us to break

the barriers of program and space, redefining the meaning of mixed-use typology. Fragments of (a)NY City is a project that synthesizes the technological advances of our era, allowing for new methods of design and use: a flexible and contemporary architecture that provides unique perspectives of programs and user interactions and that goes beyond the building itself and spreads throughout the City.

The arrangement of these fragments will then be crossed with the programmatic mass. The combination will provide a wide variety of activities occurring in spaces with different qualities, arranged around public spaces. Similar to what happens in the city itself.

T H E P ROJECT Social Media as an Empowerment Tool

The project is non-profit and is supported by the determination and certainty that we are contributing to the fight for gender equality through our contact with other female architects and students. The network created and the exhibition of the works end up generating selfesteem, visibility and the certainty that we have much to learn from our professional colleagues. The content of the page invites the feminist theme subtly and invitingly through a project made by women, but not just for women. We are architecture and architecture has no gender. @mmw.arch

Personal Project

Architecture is multidisciplinary by nature. It is born through collaboration, exchange and partnership. While drawing is a joint work, recognition remains specific. Different hands coexist within a single drawing, but only a few are seen. MMW is a curatorship which aims to broaden the dissemination of female production in Architecture. Our intention is to highlight the importance and relevance of women in the past, present and future of the profession.

Professional Competition

Authorship becomes an increasingly important currency in the contemporary world where social networks and technology allow growth in the democratization of visibility and content production. MMW emerges as a platform for the dissemination of female architectural production, encouraging its recognition and appreciation. The emblematic easels designed by Lina Bo Bardi provide a unique experience through their exhibition, which emphasizes both the works and their hidden frame’s back and structure. The Crystal Easel, made of translucent material, gives visibility to artists and works as valuable as its own

name. The Profane Easel is a reflection constructed from the reinterpretation of Bo Bardi’s easel, where the intention of visibility is adapted to the stories of our daily life. Bricks and metallic meshes, everyday materials of the city and its construction, give shape and support to the works of female architects from all over the world. If for many years we were considered scarce and supporting roles in our profession, today we are numerous and protagonists. Profane Easel is provocative, highlights the invisible, exalts the inaccessible, and encourages the development of a critical movement for the defense of gender equality in Architecture.

Inés Vachez, Mexico @cuatro.romano

Vasiliki Bakavou, Greece @vicky__bak

My name is Inés Vachez. I am an architect born and raised in Mexico in a bicultural family who always taught me to stand for what I believed in.

As a female professional in the rather male-dominated realm of architecture and construction, I feel the need and responsibility to redefine of what architecture could by forging a different path. Key to greater equality is rethinking concepts such as domestic space, low-income housing, questions of public space and architectural criticism by exploring fresh ideas, finding different ways to collaborate and shout out our work.

As a women, life in Mexico tends be threatening. Not only in matters of security but also in job opportunities, sadly there is still a strong”macho” culture. But I had the chance throughout my studies to meet other women architects (teachers, bosses, colleagues) that are changing the way architecture is conceived and inspired me to use it as a tool to make changes in the society we live in.

Women are underrepresented in architecture not just at the top of the field but at all levels of practice and it’s time for us to change it. There’s never been a better time to be a woman than now. We have to seize this moment.

As humans we have the inherent capacity to transform space and we call it architecture. For me, this ability to shape our surroundings, is both a blessing and a responsibility. That means that if our architecture doesn’t help to create more dignified, fair and sustainable world for everyone, we are failing as humans.

Melissa Thomas, France @bambinaatelier

I believe that currently, in the profession, the paradigm of the ‘’man in charge” or “the man is the one who makes the big decisions ‘’ changed, which allowed us to be an active part of the field, and to leave the condition of assistant, so that our participation in the development of architecture has to do, beyond the feminist position, in leveling the conditions of equal rights between men and women.

I think being a woman is an everyday struggle. I fight every day for the daily life inequalities. I think that it’s the same fight that as to be done in the Architecture world. Women need to give so much more than a man would provide to get to the same level. It is necessary to prove yourself, get out of your comfort zone and ask for more.

Fortunately, I have never been touched by moments of discrimination or abuse, but it is clear that this type of situation occurs in many contexts, so being an architect or simply being a woman, nowadays means having to educate the rest, ourselves, too, about the bad practices committed towards us and eradicating them. For me that means being a woman in the world of architecture, making decisions and in some way changing the paradigm towards women, eliminating practices that limit our growth as an individual.

A Landscape of Infinite Possibilities: Brazil’s (Anti)Pavillion Expo2020

T H E P ROJECT The Anti-pavillion

At the same time, we understand Brazil as vibrant energy, as its people, as an event. Its future and all its potential as a landscape to be exhibited. Below, a fair, a square, the people, the buzz, the indeterminate, the movable. Above, separated from this world, the exhibition speaks to the country’s complexity, its people, its nature and its future. Brazil is the product of complex fusions, blends, meetings and mismatches among the cultural groups by whom it was inhabited. Europeans, Indians, Asians and Africans shaped and nourished the veins of this living body. The exhibition proposal acknowledges this vision and translates it into space. Soft walls, lighting and projections mark the visitor’s route in a continuous experience where the thresholds are spaces of reflection and change between one thematic and the other.

Professional Competition

We see the contemporary pavilion as a place of places. It is a non-object, an infrastructure responsible for enabling multiple, simultaneous types of use of interior-exterior character. It assumes the requirement of being an exhibition “black-box” and a public space, understanding both as counterproposals and allies at the same time. There resides the potential of possibility. We must set aside the conception of a pavilion as mere scenography to allow it to be understood as a space of production and exchange.

The free span is the undeniable canon of modern Brazilianness. It is the true emancipation of space, which gives itself fully to the democratic. It makes the public private. It relates architecture to diversity and also to the unexpected. Space is guided only by fundamental presences, its essence is not defined, it is not explicit, it is not structured. When architecture is not defined, it is not determined in

what way it should be used. It is the freedom of public space that is translated into the pavilion. City and citizen. The free span, as an architectural operation, frees the building from the other, incorporating other logics than those established by its own design. It democratizes space in its totality and, in this way, incorporates the unpredictability of diversity.

A set of columns is proposed with audios and videos that ponder life: Where was I born? What do I dream for the future? The space between them is a space of meetings generated by the visitors who become part of a new community. A floor made of a straw carpet produced by artisans is presented alongside projections showing fabrics being done and undone. The Brazilian plot presents itself through a millennial understanding where hands unite man, nature, history and future. Technology leads the way for the future. The entrance of the nation into a new era is marked by an exhibition section where “the digital takes over” and exposes the world of research and scientific development in the country. Microenvironments with personal and immersive atmospheres generate specific experiences. 3D mockups of the landscape and buildings tell us about the fragile game of building a country and our fundamental role in the process.
