01. rolihlahla village Port Elizabeth, Africa Academic 2020 Are our cities prepared for the growing and rapid urbanization expected for the coming years? How do the new social, economic and environmental challenges affect the urban context, specifically informal settlements? How can we rethink sustainable urban design in vulnerable areas? To tackle these questions, let’s have a closer look at Port Elizabeth, a coastal city in South Africa, to understand its relevance and challenges. The Rolihlahla Village project is a rehabilitation design for a specific informal settlement, that had collaboration as a critical element for urban design, a crucial component when working with complex communities. These reflections were summarized into a design proposal for a South African informal settlement, with the aim of promoting resilience towards social inequality and climate change in vulnerable areas, strengthening local democracy, rethinking urban infrastructure, and improving equity.
The concept of the project had as a central pillar toolkit strategies that aim to establish an integration between the housing units with an urban framework of complementary leisure, income and social systems.

02. THE CITY OF LIGHT Dugiangyan, China Academic 2019 Occupying the first position on CO2 emissions list, China has encounter extreme events, due to the dense layer of pollution particles presented in the region’s atmosphere. Part of this scenario has to do with China’s fossil fuel-based energy mix, mainly composed of coal, oil and natural gas. By 2020, non-fossil energy production is projected to increase to 15%, but still small if compared to the 85% of fossil fuelbased energy. The vision for the future Dujiangyan city center is driven by energy and food production, as well as a strong cultural hub for both locals and tourists. It’s based on a central green spine that serves as recreational use and productive landscape, gathering facilities to produce energy, food and leisure activities. The north side is a mix of preserved built structures and new buildings. The south side is mix-used urban structure plan, gathering a modern approach to the traditional Chinese urban design.

03. ystad stay Ystad, Sweden Academic 2018 Located in the southeast area of Sweden, Ystad was a great experience in working in urban recycling. The vision of this project proposal is to transform the city harbour area, a region where people want to stay, not just pass by. Several factors are parts of this design vision, such as quality of the public space, the city-harbour relationship using water as a connecting element, the implementation of mixed uses and functions, and recycling of built structures. The green and blue structures were designed as elements of protection and urban resilience, biodiversity, and recreation. The flows were organized based on the creation of a circulation network using the train station as the main node.
The harbour life in this project proposal had as a concept the mixed uses, solutions, and approaches. Use of blue structures entering the city through channels, as well as the improvement of the railway line and the creation of new points of connection. The implementation of green and blue structures spread throughout the area. The main harbor buildings will have new uses, such as arts, culture, workshops, and leisure. The urban design also created climate resilience conditions, proposing solutions to the sea level rise scenario.

06. la genèse Leulinghen-Bernes, France Competition 2020 This project were developed in partnership with the architect Cibele Guimarães, and it represents the authors participation in the micro-architecture competition launched by the PRIMA Foundation, in collaboration with Atelier 37.2. The seed embodies the beginning of many cycles. From the growth of a tree to a human being, everything has started from a little grain. La Gènese is a metaphor about the rock, an inorganic matter, seen as the seed of the earth. The rock embraced by eight pillars attempts to mimic a flower and its remembrance as a seed.
The inspiration dwells in the concept of a seed (represented by the rock) emphasized by the flower petals (represented by the concrete pillars). A plant seed is an embryo capable of producing a new plant, the emergence of a new beginning, the development of life itself. The genesis.
