01 Health Center Health and Research Center in Tanzania

Location: Tanzania Program: Lab, classrooms, services rooms and accomodation Date: July, 2021 Team: Danielle K. Gregorio e Raquel K. Gregorio The project aims to provide a health and research center for a population of a small community in Tanzania. It was designed for the NGO Golden Aya. The NGO requested a program that can be divided into three main zones: the public service, the educational and the employees accommodation area. For the distribution of the program two axes were established: a principal and a secondary one. Along the main axis are the spaces for the public service and the educational area, as well as the main entrance of the complex. Perpendicular to the main axis is the secondary axis. Along it are distributed spaces for the accommodation of employees, ensuring greater privacy for them. The project has a modular structure with a total of six laminate buildings grouped two by two. Between each of them are located green areas, which in addition to providing collective spaces they allow better control of the complex temperature. Besides that, the green areas provide a rainwater buffer, purify the air and encourage biodiversity in the city. They also act as a sound barrier to the building, absorbing sound and thus providing a quieter place. Furthermore, being in a green environment has a positive effect on the well-being of people, as greenery offers relaxation and reduces stress.

02 Seaside Collective A House in Lombok

Location: Lombok - Indonesia Program: house for a couple Date: August, 2020 Team: Danielle K. Gregorio e Raquel K. Gregorio The main idea of the project is to create an architecture with potential of transformation that manages to keep the same program, volume and structure but offers different options of configurations, giving flexibility and versatility to the architectural proposal. The main structure of the house is modular, consisting on five different modules of 4.5 x 6.45 meters each. Two bedrooms, a living room, an entrance room and a kitchen/laundry/dining room compose the final set. The combinations between them can form four different variations of plans. In addition to these variations, retractable panels allow the residents to modify the house according to their necessities. A panel between the living room and the kitchen/dining room makes possible to create a space that can expand or contract depending on the residents’ momentary needs, making the space more versatile. Perforated wooden panels compose the façade. They allow the resident to control the amount of light and visual permeability within the building. However, even with all the panels closed, it is possible to visualize shapes and colors of the outside landscape, given that the panels are perforated. This enables a constant communication and interaction with the external space. During the day, the perforated panels allow natural light to enter the building, creating a cozy atmosphere. When the panels are totally opened, the inside and outside space of the house become one.

03 Square of Water Aquatic Center in Barcelona

Location: Carles Buïgas Square - Barcelona, Spain Program: Square, pools, saunas and relaxation areas Date: july, 2017 Team: Danielle K. Gregorio e Raquel K. Gregorio The project won the second place in the international contest Aquatic Center Contest organized by Fira de Barcelona, Swimming Pool & Wellness Barcelona 2017, and later the prize on the 2019 Tomie Ohtake & AkzoNobel 2019 Awards. One of the main concerns of the project was to create a building that dialogues with its surroundings, not confronting the important monuments present. on site. Therefore, the public bathing area is located underground. The free space on the ground floor is an opportunity to create an urban square. This square maintains the visual connection between the 4 monuments around it: the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona Pavilion, the Montjuïc Fountain, the Victoria Eugenia Palace and the Caixa Forum. Despite its location underground, the aquatic center maintains communication and interaction with the exterior through glass openings in the roof. Through these openings the activities in the pools are exposed at street level. At the same time, the urban square becomes a setting for the bathing experience. This square allows the building to be constantly open to the city, even when the aquatic center is closed.

04 Oriental Bay Pavilion Community Center in Wellington

Location: Oriental Bay - Wellington, New Zealand Program: exhibition space, cafe and plaza Date: september, 2018 Team: Danielle K. Gregorio e Raquel K. Gregorio One of the team’s main motivations was to create a building that dialogues with its surroundings, a place with a rich natural landscape. The exhibition center is integrated with it as something that completes it rather than interrupts it. The street level pavement was designed as a continuation of the sidewalk. This space offers the opportunity for the creation of a square. The local population can occupy it in any way they wish, for example by performing street theaters, music performances, yoga classes and any other public demonstration. Between the entrance square and the exhibition floor located on the lower level, there is a grandstand where visitors can admire the landscape. At beach level there is a café and a space for the local community to hold meetings and conversations. At the bottom of every building environment (lobby, grandstand, exhibit, lounge, and café) is always the ocean, an important element in New Zealand’s history and culture. It acts as the main attraction of the exhibition and becomes part of the architecture. The facade is made up of wooden brises. They protect the exhibition space from the sun’s rays. They are mobile, allowing the control of the light that enters the building.The exhibition center invites visitors to relax, reflect and have fun.

Concept: Space for public expression

05 Social Housing in Amazon Housing complex in Manaus

Location: Manaus, Amazonas- Brazil Program: Housing ans spaces for cultural activities Team: Danielle K. Gregorio Date: Dezember, 2019

The project has the objective of providing housing for the low income riverside population of Manaus, living in precarious and risky situations. The work is also a criticism of the current production of social housing, which creates generic models that ignore the social and cultural particularities of the Amazon region. Emphasizing the importance of rescuing the qualities of vernacular riverside architecture, the project incorporates features in its design familiar to residents of stilt and floating houses. Therefore, it allows the residents to identify with the house while valuing the Amazonian way of life and local knowledge. Architecture takes shape according to the culture and not the other way around. The social housing is expected to be funded by the local government.

Street Level

Flood level Ebb level

Diagram 01:The level of the Quarenta river has an annual variation according to the seasons of floods and ebbs. This variation was taken into account when developing the project. The result of this analysis was the establishment of 3 distinct levels: one variable according to the water level of the river, one at the level of the street and a third one elevated.

The building’s implantation was designed to ensure a harmonious integration with the surroundings. A connection with the other side of the river is proposed, facilitating the access of residents of the region into the cultural spaces situated in the housing complex. At the same time, the complex is integrated with the leisure areas located on the opposite bank. Through the creation of a linear park, the river banks are also revitalized.

Thermal comfort diagram | No scale Diagrama conforto térmico | Sem escala

Roof: The roof develops a fundamental role in guaranteeing thermal comfort to the building. It is through it that the greatest thermal load is transmitted. Its design was thought in order to achieve a good adaptation to the local climate. The roof has two layers: the outer layer shadows the inner layer and minimizes the heat absorption of it, avoiding the heating of the interior of the building. The heat accumulated between the two covers is removed by ventilation, through an upper opening.

The efficiency of the covering also depends on its color and material. It is made of metallic sandwich panel with white paint. Its white surface emits 80% of its absorbed heat, making it a more effective barrier against solar radiation. The material is also easy to maintain and resistant to the intense actions of fungi and insects of the region, in addition to being waterproof and durable. Its eaves prevent direct sunlight from reaching the interior of the building during the hottest times of the day, while also protecting it from intense rains.

The housing complex is not only restricted to the means of living, but also serves a purpose in providing social facilities, commerce, services and spaces for leisure and rest, features essential for human development. Emphasis was placed on programs associated with job creation, in an educational and cooperative manner, using the local know-how to generate income. In order to reinsert the traditional practice of building fishing boats and canoes, a space in the complex is reserved for a boat building school. A fruit shop and a fish market are located on the ground floor, incentivizing commerce of locally produced products. Also, a bakery school provides the community the opportunity of learning and working. An Environmental Education Center is also created. There, courses and workshops will be held, educating the community on the importance of preserving the environment. Associated with the Education Center there is a library, a media library and an exhibition space. Those provide learning spaces that enable educational actions aimed at raising public awareness about environmental issues.

Furthermore, there will be a recycling cooperative, generating employment and income while decreasing the amount of material residue discarded in the environment. The project also holds a canoeing club, which incentivizes physical ativities and reestablishes the relationship between men and water. In addition, the housing complex has ample external spaces, encouraging contact with nature and promoting community life. The housing units are located on the ground floor (for physically impaired people) and on the upper floor. There are two types of apartments: one with 36m² and the other with 54m². The units have few internal partitions, inspired by the typical floor plan of riverside dwellings.

06 Rammed Earth House House in Slovenia

Location: Slovenia Program: House for a couple Date: April, 2021 Team: Danielle K. Gregorio e Raquel K. Gregorio The floor plan of the rammed earth house is formed by perpendicular plans that configure the layout of the project. The composition of plans highlight the earth as the prominent material used in the building. Floorto-ceiling glass openings separate with lightness and transparency the robust earth walls, framing the landscape and bringing the beauty of nature and natural light to the interior of the house. In addition, the arrangement of these plans fragment the volume of the building, giving the house a sense of amplitude, while blending it with the external landscape. In the central part of the house an external garden is integrated with the entrance path, the living room/kitchen and the bedroom. At the back of the house, a sitting area is created by extending one of these walls, a place where residents can enjoy the sunset. The house also has a sustainable design. It makes use of available natural resources, such as solar energy for daily activities and rainwater harvesting. Besides that, the rammed earth walls, due to their natural quality, allow for better energy efficiency of the building. Lastly, the overhangs on the façades were designed based on minimal summer solar gain and maximum winter gain. They also protect the rammed earth walls from the rain.
