Assignment: To design a waterfront public space at the Dijksgracht. The project was free of restrictions. Dijksgracht used to be one of the harbors and city gates of Amsterdam and it was known has Hannekes Boom, because its gates would open according to the sound of a bell. Nowadays, it is an empty and non-functional public space, located in between highly dense and modern built areas (Oosterdokseiland and Piet Heinkade), railway sand the water edges. There are still some evidence of the presence of the old harbor, like the house from 1662, the frayed edge and the slope. The city of Amsterdam was built against the water and due to the lack of space, the water canals ended up limited by dense building lines. Dijkgracht is one of the only spaces left with an enormous water capacity and with potential connection with the water.
The design was based on this principle and intended to bring along with the water connection, the old harbor feeling back. Inspired by old ropes, boat chimneys, glassy orange and bluish colours, wild vegetation and rusty metal structures, I wanted to turn the empty project area into a live and modern public space, where people can stop and enjoy the water in many different ways. In order to bring the harbor back, I have used corten steel curbs and ground materials to define the design of the old harbor. Furthermore, I have preserved the old house and turned it into an interactive cafĂŠ and shaped the slope into a path covered with native and fast growing plants. All the buildings were coated with corten steel and the tunnel widen with green walls and mirrors, in order to give a sense of wideness and peace. Next to the water it was created a lawn and a small harbor filled with massive boat ropes, that can be used has benches and playgrounds.

Assignment: To redesign a high quality street connecting Amsterdam North to Zandaam.
There is an intention of giving the street an important role as well as a new image in the Northern part of the city. By doing so, we need to increase the spatial and urban quality, prevent physical and visual forms of barrier, solve the traffic tensions and construct a free bus lane.
Klaprozenweg is a 2.5 kilometers street parallel to the river IJ, one of the main streets of Amsterdam North. The street is presented has chaotic and with lack of urban space coherence, as a result of the development of the surrounding neighborhoods has part of a rational vision, giving no considerations to the road. Shows highly variable building sizes, empty areas, nonexistent space contrast, rhythm and interesting features.

Assignment: To recover the quality of a park and surrounding landscapes Rio Tinto is a city with a population of 50 762 inhabitants in a 9.5 km area, located in the northeast border of the city of Porto. Its landscape used to be characterized by vineyards, pinewoods, agriculture fields and orchards scattered along the region with rustic cabins and recreational farms. Due to the pressure of population growth and excessive urbanization, the landscapes were gradually destroyed and there was a loose of ecological importance.
C A
In order to connect the different green areas scattered along the region and their surroundings, I have decided to recover the old features of the area and emphasize its presence. Therefore, the farmlands where the agriculture practice was held would be transformed into community gardens, where interaction among the population will be promoted as well as a respect for the public space and their use for a possible selfsupport. The riparian forest that grows along the river will be recovered and transformed into an interesting space where people would be able to relax and have a closer contact with a wilder nature. Lastly, the old Nuns monastery, known as Quinta das freiras, with a XIX century garden, will be restored, modernized and integrated with the surrounding landscape.

Assignment: To make an ecological design, that recovers the river banks and reestablishes the ecological value of the different typologies of landscape in the area. The river of Rio Tinto, was a large crystalline river filled with fish and other sorts of fauna, small waterfalls and watermills. Extended along the agriculture fields and riparian forest, the river was the scenery of a bloody battle (that gave the river its actual name), the source of income for the washerwomen in an elderly period and the place for colourful discharges from the textile fabric. In the XX century, part of the river was intubated due to the construction of new urbanizations and it became the place for all kinds of waste discharges.
In order to restore the natural landscape structure, the river natural stream and its historical values, the drawing was outlined with modernity, enhancing historical and natural characteristics. By means of a red path which connects the different landscapes, the river banks were stabilized and restored, the forest cleaned and renovated and points of interest were created along the way (like pick nick areas, playgrounds, fishing areas, sportive areas‌).

Assignment: To design a new neighborhood, concerning all the necessary features to create a functional and suitable urban plan. The project area, located east to the historical center, near the railway station, is an area of wasteland and expectant farmland, punctuated by small private homes and poorly planned and disorganized urbanization’s. It is confined to a limited space by roads and railway lines, presenting itself as a highly fragmented area, with no public space and unqualified green structure. This area, usually known as city of voids, it is a promising place for a new neighborhood, which will make the essential transition between the city and the countryside.
The new neighborhood would articulate the design of the existing urban infrastructure and drawing with the structural axes of the surrounding rural areas. Consequently, there was an intentional distribution of the different house typologies, gradually from the periphery to the center as well as creation of green areas that assume forms of private and public gardens, vegetable gardens, garden squares, among others. In order to reinforce the continuity between the areas, the main street of the city (Avenida Lourenço Peixinho) was extended and the river transformed into water canals.

Assignment: Taking into account current plans of the council of Oerle for 2010 until 2030, the assignment was to build 300 houses and a health care center as a new extension of the city by guarantying contextual coherence. Inspired by the agriculture pattern of the surrounding area I tried to play around with plots by shaping them into the pattern. It turns out to be a game of distorted rectangular forms where every house and plot is different from each other. To keep the feeling of being part of the landscape I have scattered the agriculture fields in the area in a way where everybody could enjoy them from the backyard or as a view line. These fields were set according to three different purposes: 1. They are used by the big farmers for agriculture and by community to grow their one vegetables ;
2. They mark and preserve the vistas and turn them into interesting and live frames that change trough the seasons; 3. They are used as community areas for the people to relax and enjoy the experience of walking in the middle of high crops. The selection of the vegetation took into account the need to create the feeling of being in the nature. For the bushes I have chosen species like Vaccinium myrtillus and Rubus idaeus to provide people the privilege to pick the small berries while walking in the streets. Being the forest on the edge of the neighborhood, the chosen trees were disposed to provide a transition of color, shadow and density towards it. In main streets the light color and sparkling trees, such as Betula pendula and Populus alba, grow far from each other but as soon as we get into secondary streets the leaves become darker ( Alnus incana and Prunus serotina), the shadow becomes bigger and the distance between them becomes shorter.
