PEACE PAVILLON OF CASAMANCE Design competition - 2019 - Kaira Looro The proposal for the Peace Pavilion in Sedhiou values both the kapok tree near the lot and the view of the Casamance River, combining the

design with local references and sustainable ideals. It is essential to build a place where the population can be a part of it, with a non-intimidating structure. When seen from the kapok tree, the building molds itself guiding the visitors

ple to come closer and discover what is inside. The Pavilion is a place not only for the international community that needs to be aware of the conflicts but also for the people of Sedhiou, that needs a place to pray for the victims and a better and peaceful future. All the different spaces and materials combine to form a cohesive and unique architecture that materializes the meaning of peace. The

design integrates the environment and people, unifying them at the center, where respect and faith come to life.

Ensure quality of life for residents is the main task, and to accomplish that, the proposal needed to face the infrastructure needs of the settlement. As the inhabitants were (and still are) the central agents of the space, the planner conducted public participation sessions during the hole process of project.

Water flow
The settlement had several stairs to access the houses. As the topography imposes difficulties for the creation of ramps, the proposal is to requalify the current stairs and create new ones.
Given the conception of universal design, public spaces must allow access to all in a simple and safe way.

ARCHIPELAGO VILA MADALENA Course project - 2014 - Leibniz University of Hannover
URBAN UNDERSTANDING
Founded in 1910, Vila Madalena already had the characteristics of a planned urban district in the 1950s. City residents routinely visited the neighborhood because of the two cemeteries located in it. Due to its prime location, Vila Madalena has undergone big changes in recent years: Mainly inhabited by the middle class, a notable feature of the neighborhood was the increasing of restaurants and cozy bars. Among other things, this caught the attention of artists and intellectuals. Gradually, these bars and restaurants became famous and brought tourists and cultural interest to the region. Today, Vila Madalena is a meeting point for the bohemian people of SĂŁo Paulo.
