I'm a Brazilian-born Architecture Student and Researcher currently studying at Syracuse University's School of Architecture. On top of my Bachelor of Architecture, I am pursuing a Minor in Geography at Syracuse's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. Being born and raised in Brasilia, I have been exposed to architecture from a young age. At the age of 9 I moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where I lived for 7 years. My last 2 years of High School were completed in Buenos Aires, Argentina and I now find myself studying in Syracuse, NY, USA, while my family resides in Mexico City. At Syracuse University I recently spent a semester abroad in New York City, where I learned about Urban Systems and Problems, and first engaged with Real Estate Development from a theoretical perspective to a full project development and financial analysis. This experience sparked a desire to explore a path combining Real Estate Development and Architecture. linkedin.com/in/jelleryl/ issuu.com/joaopedroelleryoliveira www.instagram.com/ellery_arch/

ZIPCODE 90008 Crenshaw, Los Angeles, USA Fall 2020 PROGRAM Tech Center Data Center Education Residential Digital Museum
PROJECT STATEMENT Zipcode 90008, Crenshaw is an unapologetically black community that is also known as the heart of African American Commerce in LA. Filmed in Crenshaw, John Singelton’s oscar-nominated film Boyz n the Hood released in 1991, illuminated how life in the ghetto had been cheapened by a toxic cocktail of racism, poverty, violence, and substance abuse while also emphasizing the insidious threat of gentrification to the community. Today in 2020, Crenshaw and Black people all over America continue to face systemic racism and marginalization and as a result, black communities continue to suffer immensely. The lack of change and support from the American government, institutions, and wealthy, prove that the elite of our country still “ don’t know, don’t show, or don’t care about what’s going on in the hood.” Our project aims to become an exuberant and indelible canvas for the projection of black culture, joy, and pride for the community of Crenshaw. Equipt with a data center, education center, and low-cost residential living,this project aspires to provide an energy to the community that will empower its residents and youth.

WEAVING HOMES Mott Haven, Bronx, USA Spring 2020 PROGRAM Affordable Incremental Housing Community + Cultural Facilities Retail
PROJECT STATEMENT
Weaving homes combines the housing needs of NYC with the retail and service needs of Mott Haven, Bronx. Located in what is currently a police tow-pound, our project will be sharing the lot with the new Bronx-based prison. Weaving Homes is divided into 3 spines, separating the housing units from the different public spaces and social services. The residences are found across 10 floors on the street-facing spine. Housing units are found between the weaving circulation that provides spaces for unexpected interactions with neighbours. These spaces are meant to be appropriated by the residents and used to engage with other neighbours to foster a close-knit community. When selecting an apartment, residents are given a catalog of three initial floor plans to choose from. These plans have different areas, to best serve different household sizes, however all units include an exterior space in which they can progressively expand into. The goal is that with time, property owners will have the agency to build additional rooms and incrementally expand their apartments into the exterior space, and through that process add value to their properties. The adaptable furniture given in the initial units allows for residents to be the agents of their home and offers the possibility to change or customize the program of each room.

SANDBOX Skytop Quarry, Syracuse, USA Spring 2019 PROGRAM Concrete + Steel Training School
PROJECT STATEMENT
This project explores the design of a concrete manufacturing + steel wielding school in the Syracuse Skytop Quarry site. The focus of the studio was on landscape manipulation within physical, historical, and programatic contexts of the site. My project focuses on the relationship between natural and man-made ruins over time. It develops the relationship between pedestrians and school-users, as well as landscape and man-made interventions. The project is divided in three narratives that are in play with each other. 1) The first narrative focuses on the school and its users understanding the activities and history that occured on the site. To do so the building is lodged underground following markings of human “ruins�. 2) Upon emerging from the tunnels, the students are struck with light as they find themselves in a large, open workyard. This space is focused on the physical learning experience and is divided in smaller sections for different activities. These spaces are mobile and can extend into the classrooms dug into the earth. 3) The second narrative is a consequence of the human activity on the site where the pedestrians want to uncover the land to reveal the workings of the school. This mirrors the history of the site and the back and forth between human and natural ruins that cover and uncover each other.

VERTIGO Financial District, NYC, USA Fall 2019 PROGRAM Affordable Housing
PROJECT STATEMENT VERTIGO is a rooftop intervention aiming to further connect communities through a multipurpose housing and commercial project. Targeted for students and local residents, VERTIGO connects students of all ages and backgrounds in a megastructure hovering over an existing residential block in the Financial District of New York City. This project was approached through an indepth analysis of shared housing (Airbnb) and the manner in which spatial agents and arrangements were used and designed to achieve different qualities. From working with these agents, the research then looked at the urban fabric of New York City and investigated unused urban spaces and different ways those spaces could be explored. Upon combining the Airbnb spatial analysis with the unused urban spaces, the city of NY was then seen through the lenses of demographics, zoning, surroinding program, and building codes. Ultimately these analyses lead to VERTIGO, a public and residential extension of a contextualized block into a hovering megastructure.

HEL 9000 Downtown, Syracuse, USA Fall 2019 PROGRAM Urban Data Center
PROJECT STATEMENT This studio project attempts to examine three typically unrelated conditions of: the city, data centers, and towers. These issues are of the utmost importance today, when information and technology are developing at extremely fast rates. If they aren’t investigated by architects now, these topics can become problematic to future conditions concerning the built environment. My proposal projects a dystopian scenario where data center towers are sold to large corporations as commercial goods that represent the company’s corporate power. HEL 9000 is one unit of a series of Data Center Towers found in the modern city. These units help centralize data and improve server connections and speed by moving away from the countryside. The HEL 9000 unit is a good that provides 100% efficiency in the maintenance and powering of data servers. HEL 9000 will be delivered with a working unit who will live and work within the limits of the tower.

DIVA HALL Syracuse University, Syracuse, USA Fall 2019
PROGRAM Student Center Daycare Offices
PROJECT STATEMENT This project aims to design a new student center with a daycare, office space, and cafe in an unocuppied portion of the Syracuse University campus. On top of traditional design goals, DIVA HALL explores strategies of acoustic performance, daylighting strategies, and the manipulation of the site’s ventilation. DIVA HALL is strategically situated on the site to utilize the location’s high ventilation points and maximize incoming sunlight, avoiding the shadows from the neighboring buildings. Being on the Syracuse University campus, the building needed to isolate interior spaces from the bustling and noisy surroundings. Additionally, the HALL adds an enclosed footpath for those entering the building’s first floor and those crossing the surrounding garden. Both the building systems and the design strategies work hand in hand to isolate the intimate and cozy daycare, provide natural daylighting to all rooms, and allow for the manipulation of ventilation devices.

OUTHOUSE Syracuse, NY, USA Fall 2018 PROGRAM Tiny House
PROJECT STATEMENT This project aims to design a tiny home for a chosen climate with the goal of compacting architectural components of a home, while understanding building systems tectonics and building performance. This minature house is an advanced iteration of the common house typology. It combines the main ideas of space, circulation and light. The facade of the house is designed using two different layers, a kinetic wooden surface, and the interior shell which is made out of a thicker layer of timber. The exterior shell moves along a railing revealing the windows in the interior layer, which controls the amount of sunlight that is allowed into the house. The two large window panes on either side allow for the user to feel connected to nature. The interior of the house is separated into private and common spaces, which allow for the user to have their own personal space in the small structure.

CASA KAVAMOTO Brasilia, Brazil Fall 2020
FREELANCE WORK
The following work displays final renderings for a freelance project worked on with MARINA FONTANA. This work was designed by Marina and 3d modeled and rendered by myself. We completed the work from two different continents (South America and North America) throughout the Fall semester. Marina would send me CAD files for plans, sections, and elevations, and I would 3d model them on Rhino 3D, then proceed to add materiality, lighting, furniture, vegetation, and background elements on Lumion. The project itself is a single family home in Brasilia and they requested the redesign of their facade, childrens' bedrooms, and backyard pool area.

FULLONICA Ancient Rome January 2020
BUSINESS IDEA DEVELOPMENT + REPRESENTATION
This project aimed to develop a strategy for a business in Ancient Rome. Based off research by LUIZA EBOLI, the FULLONICA embraces laundry methods of washing and drying of the time while addressing issues in the service, spatial arrangements, working standards, and public approach. Our design would extend the public streets into a frontal logia where drop-off and pick-up services were held. Further back, behind the storage room, a long room (represented to the right) housed 100 tubs for washing and 3 central pools for further washing (with urine and detergents) and scrubbing. The double height space with open arches allowed for ventilation and lighting to enter and leave the space. These tub spaces were often dark and enclosed, thus keeping the strong stench of urine inside. This design opens the space and improves working conditions for all those involved.
