CARPA HOUSE Unbuilt Project Site: Brazil | 2021 Autor: Marcelo B. Bicalho
Located in Juiz de Fora city, the design followed the program that was thought out with the patrons, and by taking into account the site’s potential. Alongside regular housing spaces, patrons also requested gardens and a small pond for fish breeding. The design requested a house with exposed structural wall blocks to make it a low-cost building, with great control and agility.

CONCEPT The volumetry and its structure developed taking advantage of the site’s regulation, requiring only a frontal distance due to the general dimensions of the lot, thus enabling the adopted structure to be fixed only at the lateral boundaries and providing open spaces. Another strategy that was adopted in response to the property being fully occupied was the opening of empty spaces. The openings – gardens - in the volumetry that make the house share its boundaries with the exterior-in a sense of continuous spaces, that includes both exterior and interior. These patios also fill the internal rooms with natural light and ventilation.

The site’s façade opens to a wide view of a public square, which decreases the possibility of losing the open view and the resident’s privacy.

PURIS AND COROADOS CULTURAL MUSEUM Academic work Site: Brazil | 2019 Team: Marcelo B. Bicalho e Elisa Christo
The Museum design brings up the Puris and Coroados tribe stories. These tribes were initially from coastal zones, thus they used to live near beaches and used do fishing and hunting to survive. When the Portuguese expeditions started, these first people fled to the Southwestern part of Brazil, following the river named Paraíba do Sul and its tributaries, the Pomba and Muriaé rivers, where they took refuge at the Mantiqueira zone. The design proposal goal is to protect and make people know about these first people’s culture by showing them discoveries from archeological sites.

CONCEPT For the construction of the museum, it was decided to use the core of the site, shaped by the streets that surround it. The design was based on Plan Cerda. The plan had as part of its ideology increasing the green spaces and gardens in every block of the city, almost like a compact garden-city model. For the Museum project,
the square has its entries named after the routes the tribes used while fleeing. The tribes also used to live in caves, for this reason, the museum building was built on the underground level, making it a reference to a cave concept which opens up to a jungle.

30 PUBLIC SQUARE The square is hidden amongst the buildings, it refers to the tribe’s escape and the attempt to preserve their cultures when they fled from the coastal zone to the southwestern part of the country. As mentioned, the square has three entries. The first entry happens on the Halfed street, it’s named “Path of hills”, identified by a lining of twisted timber that makes reference to the hills of the region. The second entry is at Rio Branco Av. and is named “Path of the Jungle”. It’s marked by metal tree sculptures that make reference to the trees. Finally, the third and last entry that is situated at Marechal Deodoro St., named “Path of the Rivers”, is characterized by a large water mirror. Lastly, there’s a central elevator that emerges from the museum to the square. The latter exposes sculptures and along with the jungle, creates an intimate connection between the interior and the exterior.

SOBRADO N°798 - OUROUROU NÀ Ourourou nà, means “Hills”, or “Hill range”. The building had its façade and its template kept; the new building was moved 4 meters away from the façade having the ground floor open to pedestrians. The upper floor can be accessed via an escalator or by elevator. Both lead to the Lobby and Cafeteria floor. On this floor, people can have access to the museum.

40 MUSEUM - À LEKÀ À Leka means “I live here” in the Puri language. The museum has its access through a vertical circulation core that takes place on the upper floor of the Sobrado number 798 building.
The gallery was split into two underground floors, which both have a relationship with a central elevator and are open to a man-made jungle. The two floors of the museum have a physical and visual connection with the jungle, due to its concept.

PROJETOU HEADQUARTERS Architecture Competition | Projetou Site: Brazil | 2021 Autor: Marcelo B. Bicalho
The competition expected a design development phase project for the Projetou Headquarters, which nowadays is an online platform that teaches architecture and engineering software, as well as related subjects such as project management and etc. The latter should bring up concepts and solutions involving Neuroarchitecture and Biophilic Design, as well as social inclusion, accessibility, sustainability, and technological and visionary solutions.

CONCEPT In ancient Greece, knowledge was shared through collective outdoor activities. Around 343 b.C, Aristotle passed on his knowledge and theories while walking through gardens drawing people from all over the place, these people were called Peripatetics meaning itinerant. Taking that into consideration, the concept for the design was born. It seeks to integrate nature, teaching and learning, architecture, and engineering working with natural elements. The laminated timber structure was also chosen based on this concept, even though it’s still sparsely used in Brazil.

GROUND FLOOR The ground floor is the core of the project. It is open to any pedestrians, not only students and people who work at the building, therefore lessening boundaries between public and private areas. On this floor, there’s an open studio, which is a space with multiple interpretations, and the cafeteria. The latter is surrounded by vegetation supporting the main concept which is to share knowledge immersed in the gardens as Aristotle did.
