ATELIER ROTTERDAM
01
year: 02-03/2015 exhibition: 05/2015 place: tarwewijk neighbourhood, rotterdam, holland integrated planning group: Arthur Guedes, Arthur Vilela, Bernardo Felix, Gabrielli Asfura, Juliana Kakitani and Marcelo Figueiredo The atelier developed in the exchange programme involved the class being divided in teams according to thematic areas, such as ‘education and employment’, ‘housing’, ‘health and wellbeing’, among others. Our group integrated planning - objective was to connect Tarwewijk with the rest of the city, including the neighbourhood with the development process that happens in the surrounding areas, besides creating a sense of belonging in the inhabitants, empowering and involving them in the decision making process. We also intend to connect the proposals of the other thematic areas to make the intervention more holistic and efficient. The objectives, strategies and actions proposed were time-bound (3 months, 1 year and 5 years) and were guided by using research tools such as interviews, problem tree analysis, stakeholders grid and GAM analysis (goal-achievement matrix).
PROBLEM TREE
causes
core problem
consequences
Before we create projects and strategies to improve the area, it was initially necessary to identify the main problems of the area. For this, our group visited the neighborhood and conducted researches and interviews. However, only these problems would not be sufficient to identify what should be addressed in our actions. To identify where we should act, we developed a method called Problem Tree, which is used to organize the problems and identify them in a relationship of causes and effects. Throughout this organization, we identified groups of problems that could be addressed together, thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our strategies.
3 MONTHS to diminish the historical prejudice towards Tarwewijk, the strategy was to show through various campaigns the events happening in and outside Tarwewijk that the neighborhood has improved significantly and is a safe place comparable to other areas in Rotterdam.
1 YEAR integrate Tarwewijk in the agenda of Rotterdam cultural activities - reducing the isolation that exists and improving the quality of life for the inhabitants, making the neighbourhood more attractive and alive.

5 YEARS to break the language barrier, have 75% of the Tarwewijk inhabitants that currently don’t speak dutch speaking and/or registered in Dutch courses. The strategy is to have the disclosure of dutch courses offered by the municipality, besides taylor-made and short dutch lessons through posters and videos in “hotspots” (salons, markets). poster example
THE MAP REPRESENTS THE INTEGRATION BETWEEN APPROACHES FROM THE OTHER GROUPS AND ALSO OURS. IT DISPLAYS HOW THE ACTIVITIES ARE LOCATED IN STRATEGICAL PLACES AND HOW THEY ARE CONNECTED ALONG WITH THE COMMUNITY . ONCE THE PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO THE AREA, THE BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC LIGHTING ILLUMINATION WOULD BE AN INVITING PATH FOR THE PEOPLE TOWARDS THE WATERFRONT, WHERE WE BELIEVE IT IS A GOOD AREA TO INTEGRATE THE COMMUNITY AND IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

year: 03-04/2015 place: cabuçu de cima 7, são paulo, brazil social infrastructure group: Bernardo Felix, Camilla Quintino, Giovanna Serra, Juliana Kakitani and Vitória Spohr
The atelier was developed using the outcome of IHS/ SEHAB (municipal social housing secretariat of São Paulo) project to improve the upgrading process of the Cabuçu de Cima Water Basin in São Paulo.
Groups (total of 6) were to present their work following the guidelines of Renova SP competition that had to be strictly adhered to. The course outline involved lectures, research, interviews on key stakeholders, SWOT analysis (strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities and threats), SMART objectives and a vision. Social infrastructure group primerely had to deal with health, education, crime/safety and housing. As the real life competition, our group project was later awarded based on strategic goal, project assesment (transport, drainage, sewage, solid waste, public lighting, social infrastructure, social housing and communication strategy), feasibility and EIA (Environmental Impact Assesment).

ENCLOSURE
04
year: 03/2014 - fifth semester place: ibirapuera park, são paulo, brazil The project was designed to give dynamics and balance into the space, creating a harmonious and inviting set. For this, the project was based from the mathematical proportion of Fibonacci. This proportion shaped the radius of the arched walls, besides the gap between each structured wall, their escaled proportioned heights and thicknesses. The inviting shape was sought by the wall’s curvature and by its height’s difference, intending to create a sense of continuity. The relationship of heights with space, also allows a quick understanding of the place and a better circulation for the users. It is also the objective of the project to create a smoother intervention that guarantees more harmony in an environment, with less contrasts. The different measures (radius, height, gaps and wall thickness) ensure movement to the space and allow distinctive perspectives to the users according to each point that the enclosure is observed. The material used for the design of the enclosure is solid brick, handling it in a way that there are no breaks for the realization of the shape.
plan scheme (meters) gap length relation of heights wall thickness The bond of the bricks vary according to the thickness of the walls. Therefore, there are, 5 different types of brick bonds so that there is less coincidence between joints and therefore, greater stiffness. The solid brick works only under compression and has a measurement of 5.0 x 9.0 x 19.0 cm.

HOUSING BLOCK

(100x100m)
year: 04/2014 - fifth semester place: not specified The project was designed so that the units were positioned with dynamics, meaning and logic to the space. The creative process, involved the use of geometry by non-periodic tiling, always seeking continuity and not randomness from an initial module.
The positioning of the units was adapted according to the initial party for the creation of spaces and architectural language. From 3m x 3m modules, the block was divided into 4 residential spaces, each containing 36 units. The language in these 4 residential spaces relies in the creation of internal courtyards and circulation for the residents, avoiding the proximity of the units and guaranteeing greater comfort to each one by the better ventilation and insolation, besides the creation of wider views. The internal division also creates a central square in the block. This wide space has been designed to be for flexible use between the residents. In general, they are thought for coexistence and contemplation that guarantees better living and comfort to the environment. In the square, two units were destined for comercial and services use. The space also has permeable areas, permeable and allows and movement of vehicles when necessary. The block also has 5 meters of retreat to guarantee better insolation and privacy for the units closer to the surrounding areas.

year: 05/2014 - fifth semester place: not specified The design was conceived in order to have, within the dynamics and logic of the court, balance and harmony regarding the materiality and the double facade of the cube. The diverse use of materials creates different textures and colors that seeks to achieve balance and unity for the houses. The stiffness of the black and apparent steel structure on the facade is counterbalanced by the use of light brick masonry and the transparency of the glass. In the same way, the double façade has wooden panels that adds to the composition of the cube with its texture, besides playing the role of bringing dynamics to the architecture. Internally, the steel beams and the masonry are also visible, allowing different angles both on the ground floor and the mezzanine. The design of the ladder aims to expand the space and gain prominent role in the interior, being seen right away when entering the house. For the architectural design of the double facade, the composition of the wooden panels form a relationship with the proposed dynamics of the court. In addition, in order to guarantee the unity of the overlapping cubes, the facade is continuous, there being no ruptures of the structure of the steel and the panels of wood that compose it.

MIXED USED BUILDING
07
year: 08/2015 - sixth semester place: teodoro sampaio st., sĂŁo paulo, brazil The project was designed to be a space of permanence along the surroundings of the urban area. The creation of vacant spaces in proportion with built ones, besides the connection with the green area and the liberated accesses all led the process of creation. Therefore, it was pursued the continuity of the public space, enhancing the central voids as main factor in order to have an inviting, permanent and attractive for social living. The more dynamic design of the walkways contrasts with the greater orthogonality of the slabs. While the first one, based on the shape of the urban area, aims to ensure greater walkability, circulation and attractiveness; the second one connects the project as a whole, ensuring its unity, that is also guaranteed by the choice of building materials. The project also has the objective of a better soil occupation in the matters of efficiency and arrangement of the programmatic areas, that were handled in order to provide greater comfort to the users and according to the solar orientation and project location.

ARCHITECTURE TOWARDS WATER
08
year: 08/2016 - sixth semester place: teodoro sampaio st., sĂŁo paulo, brazil From the study and analysis of the masterplan - designed for the surroundings of the tietĂŞ river -, a plot for the project was chosen and it was possible to establish a set of concepts that oriented the proposed architecure. The land was selected with the objective of attracting people to the new area in the masterplan, besides to the existing potentialities, such as the proximity to the tram and the river. The project aims to create spaces and situations in which people meet and become involved, so that residents benefit from this space that stimulates networking and interaction between a diverse community and discourages social barriers. For this, flexible zones were designed, in order to spur the meeting, the exchange and the dynamicity of diverse activities and not the establishment of closed physical spaces arranged to certain occupations. With this connection of internal and external networks, the objective is the space to be a catalyst of change, alongside with the collaborative interaction, horizontality of relations, technology and entrepreneurial spirit. Thus, the program provides for the creation of laboratories, workshops and coworking spaces, in which users can create their models and expose them in the gallery or in the central experimental field. The program also includes spaces for the creation of events, such as the auditorium and the open amphitheater; as well as a food court, cafes and offices.
FINAL GRADUATION PROJECT
URBAN VOIDS

year: 12/2017 - final graduation project place: luz district, são paulo, brazil The main architectural concept is the dynamic architecture, returning the void/ vacant land into an urban continuity - bearing in mind that it is not intended to introduce form and order into an empty space, utopically changing the obsolete into effectiveness -. To this end, the guidelines includes the integration of Luz Square (Praça da Luz) and the opening/ access of the existent galerie (Galeria Almira Gonçalves) in its blind concrete wall; in addition to highlighting the importance of the ground floor regarding public and social use and spaces of permanence. The project aims for the revitalization of the area and it is concerned with the human scale, together with the creation of spaces and situations in which people find and involve themselves, so that users benefit from this architecture that stimulates the networking and influences on a new art clustered with technology. In this way, the objective is to attract the creative class and to unite art with technology, as well as being open to the exchange with different areas. After the networking and the interchange of knowledge, the users can come up with an idea, being able develop it in the space offered - laboratories, workshops and coworking -. After the prototyping process, they can exhibit the result in the art gallery (closed and covered space) or the experimental field (an open square), where a feedback is possible. Subsequently, they can also undertake and capitalize their idea, occupying the stores, offices and creating events/ lectures, allowing then for the association to have resources for its self-management and even generation of profits in the future. Through the munipality law (Operação Urbana Centro) and the occupation incentive in the area, the program also includes housing and corporate typologies. The terrain, however, has constructive limitations because of the subway line passing just below, so a decision was made to have the mixed typologies in a single tower. For this, minding about the structure and the place of the slabs was important to adapt both uses. The accesses in the ground floor and the vertical circulation are independent for each use and the contrast of the facade, highlighting the change of typologies was seeked. to check entire project visit: https://issuu.com/juliana.kakitani/docs/monografia.issuu
