Architectural and urban intervention: stundent housing by the river. Ribeira do Porto, the place where the city was born, is a very touristic and picturesque area in spite of its urban and social problems. The programs are a student housing, an art gallery with a tourism post and eating facilities. The answer integrates the buildings in a public space composed by various platforms that allow the user to relate with the river in different ways, highlighting the scenic qualities of the place. Developed in all scales 2007/2008 Supervised by Architect Madalena Pinto

30 flats In this first approach to collective housing the students were asked to design a residential building in no specific site. The project consists of three-storey houses that are organized in pairs, each pair sharing a common garage. These dwellings focus on a strong visual relationship between the kitchen, the dining room, the drawing room and the garden. The bedroom floor is much more private, the most intimate and quiet area of the house. Scales: 1/200 Ă 1/50 2008/2009 Supervised by Architect Maria JosĂŠ Casanova

Collective housing: 200 flats in Monte Pedral The exercise begins by the restructure of a block in Monte Pedral, a city area that is undergoing some ma jor changes. There, the old houses and streets coexist with contemporary buildings and recent urban developments. The new program consists mainly of dwellings but it also includes some commercial facilities, offices and parking areas. The second part of the exercise was the development of one dwelling. Inspired by L’Unité d’Habitation de Le Corbusier, the building is mainly composed of two-stored flats but also has shops, offices and space for parking the cars.

Hotel in Douro’s riverside, Porto The program consists of a 5* hotel with a congress centre and spa, on Porto’s riverfront. The concrete of the proposed building harmonizes with the granite quarry, evoking the qualities of strength and durability. The bedrooms, facing the river, have the luxury of a privileged landscape, highlighted by the austere simplicity of the room interior.

Urban project for Leça do Balio, from the road network to the park bench The area is characterized by a strong diversity and fragmented urban tissue. The starting point was the creation of the Ideal City Concept – what is an Ideal City for the working team? Afterwards we analysed the area, devised a strategy and finally conceived an intervention plan. After deciding which actions should be undertaken, we divided the area in operating units and distributed them to the members of the team. Each member had to make an urban project for his unit, always in accordance with the main ideas of the working group. Developed in all scales 2010/2011 In collaboration with: Joana Brito, Mónica Silva, Ivo Duarte e Mariana Consciência Supervised by Architect Luís Pedro Silva

Taking root - Residency in Camden Arts Centre Erect Architecture and artist Ashley McCormick challenged visitors to explore the garden of Camden Arts Centre and propose spacial interventions that would change the way how that space is experienced. My role in the project was to create a 1:2 model of the site and to receive visitors and help them in creating their own proposals. Each new proposal would evolve from previous ones, like the evolution of DNA strings troughout generations. Finally, I participated on the summary of the results.

2050 Developing the City The physical environment of the City of London has evolved over the centuries as a result of the changes in how people live and work. In 2012, a time of ma jor economic and financial changes, JRA & ARUP were challenged to imagine how the City of London will be in 2050. I worked together with the team to analyse the area and develop the ideas and concepts; to determine the graphic aspect of the exhibition and to produce the material that would be presented. It was a very fulfilling momento of my life to see the result of our hard work in display on the Walbrook Building.
