EXPOSITION THE VOID IN WATER

ATELIER ARCH. MANUEL & FRANCISCO AIRES MATEUS THE VOID IN WATER: WINERY OF CARIGNANO DEL SULCIS IN SARDEGNA RECOGNIZABILITY IN ARCHITECTURE IS OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE: IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO EXPRESS THE IDEA OF A PROJECT WITH TWO WORDS. THIS BUILDING IS LITERALLY A HOLE IN WATER . THE INCLUSION IN THE LANDSCAPE IS AS POWERFUL AS IT IS DIS CREE T: IN A COR NER OF THE POND OF M AESTR ALE, SURR OUNDE D BY VINEYARDS, WE CREATE AN UNUSUAL VOID IN THE WATER. HISTORICALLY, WINERIES ARE POSITIONED UNDERGROUND TO EXPLOIT THE THERMAL INERTIA OF SOIL; HOWEVER, WATER IS 2.5 TIMES MORE INERT THAN SOIL IN THIS RESPECT, SO AS TO RESULT BETTER SUITED TO THE PRODUCTION OF WINE. THE PROJECT CREATES SPACES BY MEANS OF NEGATIVES, AND THE ONLY RESULTING EXPLICIT SHAPE IS THE CIRCULAR APERTURE OF THE PATIO. THE BUILDING IS COMPOSED OF A SMALL RESIDENTIAL AND A DM IN IST R AT IVE A R EA IN T HE S OUT HE R N P A R T, AN D O F TH E AR E A F OR TH E PRODUCTION AND SALE, SHIELDED FROM LIGHT. THE SEPARATION OF THE TWO PARTS ALLOWS FOR ENTRANCE AND EXIT VIA TWO UNDERWATER RAMPS WHICH CONNECT THE DRY LAND TO THE LARGE CENTRAL MULTI-PURPOSE PATIO. THE BUILDING'S PROJECT REVOLVES AROUND AN IDEA RATHER THAN A SPECIFIC FUNCTION - HERE, THE WINERY -, WHICH ALLOWS THE FUNCTION TO BE CHANGED CONSTANTLY. THE POETICS OF THE SPACE AND THE INCLUSION COME BEFORE THOSE OF THE FUNCTION.

DEGREE ATELIER ARCH. MANUEL & FRANCISCO AIRES MATEUS A BUILDING ABOUT LANDSCAPE LIMITS AND WITHOUT FUNCTION IN ST.MORITZ THE LIMITS OF THE LANDSCAPE ARE IN PERPETUAL CHANGE. NONE OF THE THINGS WHICH SURROUND US IS ETERNAL IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION. THIS REMAINS TRUE BOTH IN THE LONG AND THE SHORT PERIOD. THE VARIATION OF THE BOUNDARIES OF WOODS, OF THE SHORES OF LAKES, THE EROSION OF MOUNTAINS AND SO ON, SLOWLY MODIFY THE LANDSCAPE, WHILE CHANGING SEASONS ALTER THE SCENERY CONSTANTLY. THE PRESENT PROJECT AIMS AT CREATING AN ARCHITECTURE WHICH, BY NOT INTERFERING WITH THESE NATURAL PROCESSES, RENDERS THEM INTELLIGIBLE. THE IDEA BEHIND THE PROJECT IS THAT OF A SUSPENDED ELEMENT OVER THE LEJ MARSCH LAKE, WHICH ENCIRCLES IT IN SUCH (NOT LITERAL) MANNER AS TO INCLUDE AND ENCLOSE WITHIN ITSELF FRACTIONS OF THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS WHICH CHARACTERISE THIS SITE - THE LAKE ITSELF, THE WOODS, THE GLADE AND THE CREEKS - IN ORDER TO ALLOW A CONSTANT COMPARISON OF THEIR TRANSFORMATION. THE BUILDING MERELY RESTS UPON FEW HILLS, THUS NOT ALTERING THE NATURAL CONFORMATION OF THE GROUND. EXACTLY THESE SUPPORTING POINTS OFFER ACCESS TO THE COVERING, WHICH BECOMES A FLAT CIRCUIT ALLOWING THE PERUSAL OF THE SURROUNDING TOPOGRAPHY.

LANDSCAPE ATELIER ARCH. J.NUNES & ARCH.J.GOMES DA SILVA A BRIDGE IN CONTINUOSLY DELOPING ON A NEW DELTA FOR MAGGIA RIVER DUE TO ANTHROPIC INTERVENTION, THE DELTA OF THE MAGGIA RIVER - ASIDE FROM DIVIDING TWO CITIES, LOCARNO AND ASCONA, AND HINDERING THE PROLIFERATION OF NATURAL FAUNA - IS TODAY THE CAUSE OF GREAT FLOODING. THE PROJECT AIMS AT FACILITATING THE NATURAL RECREATION OF THE DELTA WITH A SERIES OF PILINGS WHICH WILL, CREATE AN ARCHIPELAGO ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PRESENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. IN ORDER TO BEST EXPLOIT THE NEW SCENERY AND TO CONNECT THE TWO BANKS OF THE MAGGIA, A SIZEABLE CIRCULAR BRIDGE HAS BEEN DESIGNED WHICH INTERCONNECTS SOME OF THE ISLANDS - AND LEAVES ASIDE OTHERS - SO TO CEATE AN INHOMOGENEOUS ANTHROPIC DENSITY. THE BRIDGE WILL BE BUILT GRADUALLY (ALONG WITH THE ADVANCEMENT OF THE ARCHIPELAGO), FOLLOWING A PATH LAYED OUT BY THE FOUNDATION PIERS. GRADUALLY, THOSE PARTS WHICH BECOME SUPERFLUOUS WILL BE DEMOLISHED IN SUCH A WAY THAT ONLY A TRACE WILL REMAIN.WE ARE GEOMORPHIC AGENTS!

WORKSHOP IN SOCIAL HOUSING-WISH 2015 LIMA PERU' WITH ARCH.MARTINO PEDROZZI AND ARCH.PAULO DAM THE LAST-STANDING AGRICULTURAL PART IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF LIMA IS BEING ERODED AWAY BY THE SPRAWL AND BY ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS; MOREOVER, EVEN THE AREA'S CHARACTERISTIC SITE, THE OLDEST HUACA IN THE CITY (3000 BC), FACES SERIOUS DANGER. THE PROJECT PROPOSES THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HUGE DAM FOR THE CITY, WHICH WILL SERVE AS A FIXED BOUNDARY AS WELL AS AN INCENTIVE FOR DENSIFICATION AS OPPOSED TO EXPANSION THEREOF.THE UNDERLYING THEME IS TO UNITE THE CITY'S PRE-EXISTING LIMITS, NAMELY TWO HILLS, WITH A SINGLE ACTION OF LANDSCAPE SCALE, WHICH HOWEVER BREAKS UP WHEREVER IT MEETS EXCEPTIONS AT THE URBAN SCALE, SUCH AS A MAIN ROAD, A PARK, A RIVER ETC.IT IS SHAPED AS THE PORTION OF A CIRCUMFERENCE WHOSE CENTRE IS DICTATED BY THE LANDSCAPE LIMITS. ITS STRUCTURE IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN INFRASTRUCTURE, BEING IT A 2KM LONG SUCCESSION OF PREFABRICATED PILLARS, WHOSE TRIVIALITY WILL BE MITIGATED BY THE FACT THAT THE LIVING UNITS WILL NOT BE DESIGNED, BUT RATHER THEY WILL BE SELF-BUILT BY THE POPULATION.WWW.WISH.USI.CH/2015/

LANDSCAPE ATELIER ARCH.J.NUNES & ARCH.J.GOMES DA SILVA THE NEVER ENDING LANDSCAPE: CREMATORIUM IN RIA FORMOSA-PORTUGAL
THE PLACE: RIA FORMOSA. THE PLAN: CREMATION. THE THEME: AN ETERNAL AND EVERLASTING MARK IN AN EPHEMERAL AND FLEETING CONTEXT. A WINDING LINE RECALLING HOGARTH'S LINE OF BEAUTY UNFOLDS AND CONNECTS LANDS ABOVE AND BELOW SEA LEVEL DEPENDING ON THE TIDE, INTERCEPTING PURE FORMS IN CONTRAST TO IT, FORMS HOUSING FUNCTIONAL PARTS. THE PATH IS MADE OF TWO METAL TAPES FUNCTIONING AS HUGE DISPOSABLE FORMWORKS, CONTAINING TIDES AND HELPING COLLECTING SEDIMENTS, THE TRUE BUILDING MATERIAL OF THIS PROJECT. ON THE OTHER HAND THE CREMATORIUM, THE SPACIAL AND ARCHITECTURAL OPPOSITE OF THE PATH, COMES TO BE THANKS TO EROSION. THE WORK SHOWS AN EVERCHANGING PICTURE OF ITSELF, BOTH DAILY DUE TO THE TURN OF TIDES AND ALONG THE CENTURIES, FOLLOWING THE LAGOON NATURAL DYNAMICS.THE LANDSCAPE IS A NEVER ENDING DONE JUST LIKE THEHUMAN LIFE AFTER THE NATURAL DEATH.

FROM HOSPITAL TO CULTURAL CENTER ON LUGANO LAKE IN THE FIELD OF REUTILIZATION, EVERY INTERVENTION BRINGS WOUNDS; MY AIM WAS TO GIVE THEM A ROLE. A XVI CENTURY MANOR BY THE LAKE, IS HEREBY TRANSFORMED FROM A NEGLECTED HOSPITAL INTO A CULTURAL HUB, FROM BODYCARE TO MINDCARE. AN INTERVENTION BASED ON INFORMALITY AND HUMILITY POINTING TO RECREATE THE ORGANIC MEANINGFULNESS LOST BY THE MANOR, BINDING IT TO ITS ENVIRONMENT.
