CORAÇÃO DO
FADO Lisboa: MUseu do FAdo StartForTalents Contest:
III prize

Boring!!!
Section A
Let’s spin it...
Section B
...and stretch it
Section C ...and what about a central void?
Every corner of Lisboa tells a story, as every episode of Portuguese contemporary architecture has a strong formal language. Can we utilize the purity and stereometry of Portuguese modernistic architecture to develop an expressive home for the poignant intensity of Fado? This assumption is the fundation of the whole design, drawn and developed for an international ideas competition that was joined by 115 groups of architects and designers, and where this project was awarded with the III prize. The design starts from a regular and functional plan and from its interaction with the triangular site: the pure and simple geometry of three rectangular blocks is spun and stretched in every direction, to fit a different volume to each of the three sides. The unexpected triple-height space in the rotation axis’ intersection, instantly noticeable from the hall with its dynamic and irregular shape, is the connective fulcrum of the Museum, with vertical paths developing through it.
Due to their shape, the double-skin façades allow glimpses and intuitions of the interiors and give the building a variable character depending on the light conditions. During the day, the sun fills the rooms with indirect light, reflecting on the white concrete surfaces, with panels acting like screens and shields. At night, the projections and shadow plays of the life within the building, with the heat and urge of the cafeteria and the slow motion and reflectivity of the exhibition areas, always draws different façades, more or less dynamic with the inner functions. The motif of the façades draws its inspiration from another identifying element of the Portuguese culture: the Coração de Viana. The refinement and elegance of the decoration makes the whole building appear as a large urban jewel.

DELUXE BOUTIQUE HOTEL
SHESHAN An organic architectural landscape
The Sheshan the Deluxe Boutique Hotel design passed through several stages, in a climate of constant dialogue with the committee which led to the development of many versions of the same project. I hold a key role during all the design and the relational phases with the client, in a long series of meetings and presentations, also in the presence of local political authorities, both via Skype and personally in Europe and China. The starting point in the design is given by a deep respect of the site on which the settlement will arise, in relation to the landscape and to the peculiar local biotope. The fluid organic forms of the Hotel are composed by sinuous bands of green, with the pure and simple volumes of the 23 suite-villas emerging from the green top. The large number of spaces and functions in the lower levels, with the 252 rooms, the 3 banqueting halls, the 2 restaurant and the church, are illuminated and ventilated directly and naturally by the three “volcanoes� and by the glazed tapes. This harmonious relationship with the landscape also means a demonstration of respect for the Chinese tradition.

Accesses and gardens
The design&build tender for the demolition and reconstruction of this public school called for a final design based on feasibility studies and on preliminary drawings . The design therefore focused on the improvements and on the optimization of the scarce resources available for the works, in coordination with the engineering team and with the construction company. My responsibilites inclueded the development of the design, the compliance with the sectoral legislation, the general visualizaton, the production of bid documents and the coordination with the building company and the rest of the team. The starting point of the project is the will to maintain the current orography of the terrain, avoiding any earth-moving to keep unaffected a well-consolidated state of the site. Then, to improve the presence of the vegetation in the whole area, and this is pursued by the enhancement of the existing garden at the higher level and by the creation of a new large green playground for children at the central level (identified as level 0.0). Then, vital point, the access system is totally re-organized, with the main access at the superior level and a further access at level -1, that makes the whole structure barrier-free and gives an independent function to the gym. The use of colours, in the interiors and in the intersecting volumes, has the purposes of defining functions and creating joyful spaces for children. The idea of optimizing the vertical and orizontal connections has led to the creation of a central “block� of distribution, that gives an immediate clarity about the internal layout and safeguards the children. Among other solutions for the energy production and conservation, the indoor lighting comfort is pursued through a simple mobile polycarbonate shielding system. The idea of creating autonomous functions (gym, multi-fuctional rooms) makes the school also a centre of additional services for the town, as specifically required by the municipality. The collaboration with the other technical experts has allowed to define, already on paper, optimal solutions for the construction phase.

PARAMETRIC DESIGN A mindset to generate
and control shapes
The exigency of creating a parametric definition to generate the balconies of these residential buildings derives from the amount of information to handle in the project. The residential complex consists, infact, in a series of similar buildings, all with the same model floorplan, different between each other only for the sinuous shapes of their balconies. Therefore, with the adoptation of this “mindset� since the conceptual phase of the design, the management of the shapes through parameters (Grasshopper) makes possible the creation of an algorithm that allows every kind of modification just controlling the design of a single balcony and of the loft that generates the different shapes of the floors.
The algorithm that generates the single balcony is composed by different clusters, each corresponding to a different component of the design. Starting from a reference curve (that derives from the intersection of a loft and the planes of the different levels), all the components adapts to the curve itself and to the sinuous openings of the parapets. Inside the different clusters, some recurring numbers (such as the thickness of the parapet) are defined by other clusters, so that their modification will affect also the other clusters in which they are used.

Images and studies from different projects
The following images are the synthesis of many works realized for different projects, including mainly hotel rooms and houses. The renderings are realized with Rhinoceros, 3ds Max, VRay and Corona, post-produced with Photoshop.

SPACE PLANNING A complex process with many factors
Which follows is a synthesis of my space planning experiences I have been developing through the years. Specifically, they regards space planning on a scale larger than the single apartment or the single function: from a commercial hall connected to the welcome centre of a dock, to a whole new residential building with small and medium housing typologies, to the layout for a new department of an historical hospital. Each project started with the definition of requirements and issues, using techniques as the “bubble plan� or starting (as for the hospital, where this aspect is particularly relevant) from the specific paths of each function.
