I study “Architecture and Urban Planning” in the Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ). The course lasts 5 years, and I am on the fourth. In this PORTFOLIO I would like to show a little bit of the work I have been doing during this years. The course of “Architecture and Urban Planning” in UFSJ is very embracing. In the first year, in other words, in the BASIC CYCLE, I was introduced to the process of creation and designing. It was about the awareness of the perception to the design practice of architecture and urban planning, proposing and implementing ideas. I could express myself, trought free drawing, three-dimensional expression, performance, among others. I also could propose and execute physical and digital interfaces for interaction between people and spaces. In the INTERMEDIATE CYCLE, second and third year, I started to have contact with more specific areas: CIVIL CONSTRUCTION, URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING, HERITAGE AND PATRIMONY AND DESIGN (FREE WORK). Considering I already have a superficial knowledge in each area, study in the United Kingdom would be of fundamental importance in my graduation. Then, I’ll show some work in each area.

Enjoy cooking, reading, art and video games. It was necessary a garage for at least one car, a large living room (which abragnnesse area to watch TV, to read, draw and relax) fully integrated with the kitchen, and only one room in the house. Outside, a music studio, a room for guests and a recreational area. The house was made of Reinforced Concrete Structures.

This project was a kind of Interior Design. The proposal was to reform a travel agency, located in the small town of São Lourenço, Minas Gerais. The owners wanted to keep the agency, but integrate to the environment a temaki restaurant. The environment has only 25m2, so some furniture had to be created for better use of the available space.

We see that not only this area, but in cities in general, there is the need for quality living areas, where people can intervene and create diverse uses according to local demand.

The project is in the city of São João delRei, Minas Gerais. This is an area where there is an attempt for public use, as it features a sports field and some trees for shading, but does not have this quality of public place.

stream cleaning proposal
In this project the environmental perception survey methodology was applied in an area of interest. Then it was possible to make proposals in accordance with the demand of the population. These proposals have generated guidelines around the heritage, urban sanitation, stream cleaning, flows of people, landscape and land use and occupation.

The proposal of the Studio is an intervention in the landscape. But the proposal should be done with the free hand drawing, through sketch (croquis). So first I learned and applied various drawing techniques, and in the end I could represent it in my project.
