Go through the road that is made of yellow dirt and almost no shade. The cicadas will sing the bronze silence. First to your right will be a whitewashed wall that draws the road’s curve. Then you will find the transparent and curled fig trees; but their branches won’t provide any shadow. And then you will head straight with the Sun’s heavy hand on your shoulders, but led by a weightless fresh light. Until you reach the city’s ancient crumbling walls. Pass under the door and go through the small narrow streets, straight and white, until you find in front of the sea a bright square with a statue in its centre. Head between the houses and the sea up until the market that is after a tall yellow wall. There you should stop and look for an instant at the square because there the visible is seen until the end. And see the white, the pure white, the whitewash white that falls straight. And there between the city and the water you won’t find any shadow either; so take shelter in the sea’s fresh passing breath. Enter the market and turn to your right and at the third man you find in front of the third stone counter buy fish. The fish are blue and shiny and dark with black meshes. And the man will ask you to see how red its gills are and how deep its blue is and how they really, really smell like the sea. Then you will see black and red and pink and silver fish. And you will see the stone coloured octopuses and the shells, the whelks and the razor shells. And the light will become liquid and salt air and a crab will go running over a stone table. To your right you will then see a staircase: take it quickly but without touching the old blind man that slowly comes down. And at the top of the stairs there is a middle aged woman with thin light wrinkles on the face. And she has on her neck a gold medal with the picture of her son that died. Ask her to give you a handful of bay leaf, a handful of oregano, a handful of parsley and a handful of mint. Further down buy black figs: but the figs aren’t black: but blue and pink inside and from all of them runs a tear of honey. Then go from vendor to vendor and fill your baskets with fruits, greens, herbs, rosemary and lemons. Then go down the stair, leave the market and walk to the centre of town. Now you will see that along the walls a blue snake shadow was born, narrow and long. Walk close to the houses. On one of your shoulders will rest the shadow’s hand, on the other the Sun’s. Walk until you find a tall square church. Inside you will rest kneeled in twilight looking at the white of the walls and the blue shine of the tiles. There you will listen to the silence. There will rise like a chant your love for the visible things which is your prayer before the great invisible God. Sophia de Melo Breyner Andresen Morning’s way in Livro Sexto, 1962

1. PAREDES COOPERATIVE COMPETITION

CONTEXT Situated next to an anchor public space such as Alameda Dr. José Cabral, the plot for the proposal represents a border element to a public space system of expressive scale for the centre of Paredes. Defined by relatively steep fronts on the southwest and northeast, the plot has only two leveled fronts on the northwest and southeast, a fact that has decisively contributed to the project’s definition. Within the quarter, although with a regular shape, exists a private building which inevitably assigns a scale that the proposal has to deal with regardless of the extensive program it has to answer. INTERVENTION PHILOSOPHY The proposal consists on five key elements: Cooperative’s Services, Earth Market, Design Incubator, Creative Residencies, Restaurant/Café Area and Car Parking that supports not only all the building but also functions as a public car parking silo. Taking into account the program, the topography as well as the surrounding context, the proposal is defined by three distinct elements. The first building serves as a concrete podium which occupies the totality of the plot and becomes an elevated public square on its roof, establishing a clear relationship with the surrounding tree tops as well as the Alameda Dr. José Cabral public space. This is the building that manages all accesses and houses the programs related to the Cooperative’s Services, Earth Market and parking facilities, since their functioning depends on a deep and close physical proximity and effective communication. It also establishes a direct relationship with the street and promotes the public character and nature this proposal has, simultaneously managing the access to the other proposal’s elements as well as “sowing” the volume and scale set by the adjacent private building. The second building houses the Restaurant/Café, resting over the square generated by the Podium Building and acts as a front to the Infante D. Henrique Street while the third building contains the Creative Residencies and the Design Incubator. The Restaurant/Café and Creative Residencies/Design Incubator buildings function in contrast to the Podium Building’s solid appearance, with apparent nervorated concrete slabs and pillars enclosed by transparent elements and lined from the outside by white micro-perforated steel sheets that serve as mediator element between the exterior and the interior worlds on both buildings, as a translucent veil that covers their apparent constructive and structural honesty.

PAREDES COOPERATIVE COMPETITION

2. A HOUSE IN LUANDA COMPETITION

THEME The main goal for the current competition was to design a single family dwelling that is radically cheap to build for Luanda aimed at severely deprived families and capable of generating urban fabric. Such a program shouldn’t instantaneously lead to an idea of lesser quality but rather a need to find a way of rationally building a platform of wellbeing with the available resources. This also implies not only a physical architectural solution but also one that tries to understand its social, cultural and economical dimensions for it to have some kind of positive result. PROPOSAL’S PRINCIPLES Flexibility and dialog between dwelling and urban fabric First and foremost it has been understood that dwellings of this nature in Luanda have a dimension that surpasses the single function of sheltering a family. It has a far richer set of variables that include physical space as a currency or a very important role in socialisation. Therefore, flexibility of use is a precious asset as well as the capacity of the proposed dwelling unit to produce and stimulate productive relationships with the far wider urban fabric, be it economical, social or cultural. Economical stimulation, self-construction and sustainability Instead of considering the economical restraints of the competition program as a barrier we choose to use it as a vehicle to stimulate Luanda’s economy through the use of its own raw materials (such as the extensive use of Adobe and Lime), avoiding any kind of imported materials that could greatly increase construction costs. Our proposal is thought out to encourage self-construction, developing the use of simple known and common construction techniques with building materials that have practically no production costs, are environmentally friendly and provide proven habitability and comfort. It also has another advantage to this process as it is a way of giving specific training to people who can profit from this fact in the future. Creating urban fabric through a dwelling unit The proposed dwelling unit can automatically create two hierarchies that could extend to the urban fabric. The East-West axis generated by the blocks become public galleries offered by each house as mediator spaces between what is private and what is public, stimulating economical and social interaction, where a single cell of a house can become a shop, a shaded space or a place to just simply be and the car traffic less intense. The South-North axis can have two different configurations: one narrower to easily cross through blocks and one wider to provide a heavier traffic solution in order to link to main arteries. Phased construction Although the competition regulation specifies a gross building area of 100 m2 we believe that such a proposal should foresee a

phased construction of the dwelling units so that it could accommodate a progressive solution to multiple situations. Although the proposal as presented has the stipulated 100 m2 it has the possibility of beginning at 50 m2 and expand up to 150 m2 of gross building area. It is our belief that by providing this kind of possibilities the more probability it has to answer to the multiple needs of an ever growing fabric of a metropolis such as Luanda. THE DWELLING UNIT Given a lot of 10x25m, our proposal is structured by five different programatic transverse strips generated by two pavilions (Social Pavilion and Private Pavilion), a patio between the two pavilions and two wings (Urban Wing and Ventilation Wing) at each top. The lot is structured by modular cells dimensioned for an optimal span for an adobe construction and by this fact it is easy for it to be phased and controlled as an evolving organism without losing its unity. Fronting the lot the Urban Wing, a shaded gallery, promotes the relationship between the private realm and the public urban reality. It is where all kinds of social interactions could take place: a commercial stand, an entrance to a shopping cell, to a house or just a place in the shade where you can be. The Social Pavilion gathers two multipurpose cell that could be a living room, room or shop and the services (a kitchen and the bathroom). The patio becomes the functioning heart of the house by assuming its central position in the lot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a circulation space but one that promotes gathering (a social space) or even self sustainability (such as the possibility of having, for example, a vegetable garden), also allowing cross ventilation and light for both pavilions. The patio also allows the construction of a future third pavilion based on its structural modulation so that further uses can be attributed to the house. The Private Pavilion is made of three cells which can be divided or make up a full open space so that a room can also become a living and social space. At the back top of the lot a ventilation wing is created so that cross ventilation and generous lighting can come from both sides of the Private Pavilion.

A HOUSE IN LUANDA COMPETITION

3. EXHIBITION DESIGN COMPETITION FOR THE ELECTRICITY MUSEUM CONTEXT Being part of Lisbon’s Architecture Triennale in 2010, the exhibition design competition for the Electricity Museum (formerly named Central Tejo) bears the particularity of being located in a building of significant importance in Lisbon’s 20th century history, being somewhat a testament to technological and energetic evolution which makes it an important object in portuguese industrial history. The fact that the proposal is located in the old low pressure boiler room ended up dictating the proposal’s philosophy. This room was originally modulated bearing in mind the specific boilers it would house, resulting in a regular island grid (boilers) limited by a structural metallic set around the machines. The machine dictated the structural grid. PROPOSAL Three modular illuminated vitreous blocks serve as support for the exhibitions’ information. A first one, standing and framed by the existing structure and situated at the entrance’s axis, contains the common information to the two running exhibitions. The other two, lying down, precede each of the exhibitions. The Merchandizing cell, as an object, is framed by the information blocks. Given the identical material and number of works to be exhibited, each one of the exhibitions is supported by a black MDF monolith whose location is established by the rules set by the existing steel structure, much in the same way the boilers that once occupied the same space. Each black monolith integrates a set of internally lighted cells that match the number of works to be exhibited, being that each one has its own space even if they are a part of a set. The dimensioning of each cell takes into account the location of physical models on its base and information panels on the back wall, as well as the necessary space for the identification of each presented work. Both monolithic elements rest over a black MDF plateau covered in black linoleum with a text line referring to their exhibition and identifying the participant of each competition, thus defining their limit and reenforcing the direction of each exhibition path. Through this modular construction, as well as the nature of the materials used, the proposal aims at low construction costs and acknowledge the industrial character with an ever increasing pre-sence in our day to day lives, having the actual Electricity Museum Building as one of the most representative elements in its origin in this city.

EXHIBITION DESIGN COMPETITION FOR THE ELECTRICITY MUSEUM

4. J.A. APARTMENT

Located in the Alvalade neighborhood, a challenge was set to remodel an apartment with a strict low budget. The program consisted on the transformation of a 70m2 apartment made up by minimal compartments into a space for a single person with the possibility of becoming a first house for a couple. Given the available budget and the advanced state of degradation of the walls and ceiling, as well as the fact of it being the top floor without any kind of thermal insulation, the proposal consisted in minimal demolition works as to gain a bigger living room, new windows, kitchen and bathroom, while restoring all wall and ceiling surfaces and ensuring an effective thermal insulation through the ceiling. The heart of the house is made by a permeable wall paneling grouping all the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accesses, becoming a set of bookshelves in the living room and a storage cabinet as a mediator element between public and private space allowing to create a private circulation without compromising the already small areas.

5. A.L. HOUSE

The proposal consisted in the conversion of a summer row house into one that had the capacity to be inhabited all year round. The demolition of the preexistent house was dictated not only by the degraded state due to poor construction quality, making it unable to face the region’s characteristic climate, but also by the succession of spaces without any kind of logical structure or appropriate scale as well as the will to add additional area the former construction couldn’t handle. Since the intervention was in a single row house unit, the housing set’s common elements were used to solve the volume and openings as to make the proposal as silent as possible. The proposal kept the existing structure made by frontal garden, house with full plot’s width and back garden. Both fronts were extended and, instead of the preexistent multiple roof planes, the highest roof ridge was extended resulting in just two roof planes as well as doubling the first floor’s area. The house was organized through three functional strips that correspond at ground level to services, common areas and private areas. However, these relationships can be altered as they’re separated through two big sliding doors that allow multiple relations between the strips, from cells to open space. On the upper level, with the ability to function autonomously and structured by the house’s functional strips, are situated two rooms, a small living room/study and a bathroom. The proposed materials characterize the functions they serve. Painted or waxed wood floors give temperature to living and private spaces, white marble and handmade tiles for service and wet spaces. Systematically resorting to handmade work regarding woodworks, stoneworks and metalworks was probably the project’s greatest challenge. But there was still space for good surprises...

A.L. HOUSE

6. PORTO SANTO HOTEL EXTENSION

Built in its first version during the 50’s, the Porto Santo Hotel extends perpendicularly towards the beach as a contained volume, not exceeding two storeys as to accentuate the surrounding context and its green areas. The part of the building where the extension takes place, as well as the area where the original Hotel is located, has an orientation towards the South with a gentle topography. This plot portion, once of agricultural nature, presented a certain aridity due to a strong south exposure, its proximity to the sea and the sand nature of the soil. The extension project is located in a plot strip situated at the eastern side of the preexistent hotel, with the main goal of equipping the hotel of a better infrastructure regarding sun and sand thalassotherapy while articulating it with the existent hotel structure. The proposal’s landscape integration was achieved through matter and volume. Its skin is made by sand and lime mortar, covering simple volumes in memory of Porto Santo Island’s popular and vernacular constructions. Integrating itself within the philosophy/atmosphere of the preexistent hotel, the proposal develops through an outer wall as protection and limit to the palm plantation, accentuating the hotel’s green area oasis character. The new building is structured through a succession of patios and gardens that generate inward spaces that enhance its silent and serene character. All built areas are developed through one walled storey as if it were a single volume. Inside exists a thalassotherapy unit with four distinct areas comprising Car Parking, Bungalows/Gardens, SPA and Outer Pool. A lot of effort was put into maintaining this place’s natural, historical and built character, creating a close relationship with the preexistent elements as well as complementing its hotel capacities. The proposal is intended to have a discrete and friendly presence, a vernacular architecture where a modern concept doesn’t collide with ancestral building knowledge. by João Favila

PORTO SANTO HOTEL EXTENSION

7. QUINTA DA CASA BRANCA EXTENSION

The intervention philosophy kept the main principles adopted through the initial project where special attention was given to the preservation of consolidated green areas and large sized trees, the conservation of the farm’s main old dwelling as a way to preserve its intimate character and close relationship with the surrounding area. The extension is made up by two volumes. The first volume is a building structured in two floors where the ground floor has five rooms and a suite, as well as a reading room, and the first floor houses seven rooms and a suite. Through the ground floor is articulated its connection to the preexistent building through a funnel shaped arm, while the new body sets a new frame to the garden area. The rooms in this new body have more generous areas and benefit from an even more intimate garden. On the first floor a wide living room provides a relaxing area and attached to the main body two volumes house the public toilets and floor pantry. The second volume is a supporting facility to the swimming pool, with a bar, terrace and services. by João Favila

8. MACHADO DE CASTRO N. MUSEM COMPETITION

It’s as desperating as it is fascinating to see two thousand years of history before the eyes condensed in an urban/architectonic set to which we are called to intervene. The dive into time (what is architecture if not the impression in time of the built artifice) is obsessive and eager to find the seam of successive transformations and reasons which led them to be produced. The architect absolutely needs history because he steps into preexistent territories, but mainly because the project leads the transformation that leaves by and in time. The direct verification of time objectified through the successive layers brings close the archeologist to the architect to the point they almost can be confused. The mastering of the concrete, of things, brings them closer. Aren’t things built nowadays by us just another layer in the several preceding contemporaneities? What values, sensibilities or uses are there going to be imprinted? During two millenniums site’s history accumulates the crossing of many histories and an archeological site shows us not only one but several buildings that extended or overlapped or crossed, destroying or fragmenting themselves, generating residues, hesitations, firmness, abuse, rudeness or fantastic revelations, fascinating, beautiful. After the path we’ve taken through the historic readings summoned by archeological reports, through the architectures we crossed from dawn till dusk, if something appears as touchingly beautiful in this uptown Coimbra, it’s the extraordinary symbiosis between built shapes and the hill’s geography, where tectonics acquire a topographic value, in a global crystalline system made of voids and emergencies in which the Aeminium cryptoporticum’s immanence is decisively in its origin. by Gonçalo Byrne

9. AVEIRO UNIVERSITY RECTORATE

The Aveiro University Central Building spacialy and functionally represents the construction conclusion of the University Campus. The “Rectory House’s” and “Aula Magna’s” strong programatic contents in its institutional values, and the place, simultaneously at the centre and axis of the University Campus, provide this intervention of a referential character that’s important to respect. This complex space, as complex and complementary are the activities from the University Community it will house must symbolize the presence of the University’s “Casa Mater”. It internally articulates as a “microcosmos” the diversity of competencies and activities, however, having a common direction and complementary logic that must be apparent in the building and its diverse spaces. A “Casa Mater” that contains several houses or perfectly identifiable spaces within the building, that represents in contemporaneity what was once, in example, the convent typology. We are clearly before a mixed situation that reflected the typological choice, herself also being of a mixed character, crossing an elongated block typology with a closed square one which will allow with a clear, continuous and simple distributive scheme to articulate a set of spaces with different characters. The serving spaces (monumental atrium, “impluvium” atrium, street, corridors and galleries, or even the Rectorate’s elevated garden) are understood in continuity of the exterior spaces, bringing into the building the same urban sense of internalized “micro-city”, where the diversity of atmospheres has a fundamental role. by Gonçalo Byrne
