IN WALKA ZERMATT competition
The place “in Walka” is a natural terrain on the north of Zermatt .Situated in a valley in the south of Switzerland, Zermatt has a unique vernecular architecture wich one is directly relacionated with this kind of territoire. The existing school buildings are linked to the existing rock wall, as if they wanted to hide something. The interface between the rock and the back wall remains unsolved. The new school building will clarify the relationship between the rock wall and the village and it will be the connection element. The building’s reduction permits on the one hand, the permeability to the rock wall, and on the other hand, the dialogue with the village’s houses. The smallest new building - the nursery - is related to village structure and scale. On the opposite side is the Primarschulhaus. It is a tower shaped, like the opposite “Petit Hotel” and the Villa Taugwalder. Together they form a triangle configuration that marks the entrance area of the school Metzggasse. The primary school building which includes the library, is primarily developed through the western part of Metzggasse. This results in a short effective connection between the three school buildings. Kindergarten, nursery, auditorium and community halls are directly linked to the church square. The auditorium’s foyer is visible from there. Concerning the future tunnel Tschugge, the second access to the double gym and the auditorium’s backstage is settled. Seating steps connect the two exterior levels. A green area which extends along the rock wall completes the outdoor play spaces.

STADE PIERRE DE COUBERTIN competition
Located at the site of the Pierre de Coubertin Stadium, the new stadium must both blend into the existing natural world and be able to offer contemporary and functional facilities. In this spirit, road networks have been redesigned to lead more directly and naturally to its main entrance. The present entrance and the old beer cellar’s dome are removed to createon his place an entrance façade that represents Lausanne’s Coubertin stadium. This arrival is a landmark and organizes the traffic on the lake shore. The project fits naturally in the succession of existing cells and reshaped landscape, the operation also allows to incorporate existing elements on a large scale. The new stadium’s shape is born from the desire to create a natural monument, by the regularity of its contours evokes the stage or theater in ancient or original state, which uses the shape of the place to install track, stage and bleachers. This symbolic architecture can be found on the surround area with the pyramids of 1964 exhibition. The stadium’s shape evokes the waves that propagate from the point of impact of a drop on the water’s surface. Radiant, she has neither forward nor back. The top of the wave is a slightly sloping plateau towards the lake, following the natural slope of the land. However, plateau never meets with him: he remains independent and separate. Recognizable from all directions of approach, even so with an uniform expression, the stadium creates an identity to that place. The stadium is the focal point that connects the various parts of the site. The stadium’s shape can offer a large number of fixed seats: more than requested by the program. The concentration of temporary bleachers and roof on one side becomes possible. This radical and minimalist solution enables spatially link the north-south axis with the Pierre de Coubertin Stadium’s landscape. Its western grandstand enhanced becomes a promontory on the extent of Vidy, the lake and the mountains.

THE BLACK CONTAINER project . not built
On a smooth Alentejo’s plane of expressive cork trees and vigorous soil came the idea of creating small shelters merely shaped by the spaces and essential objects to their living allowing a direct relationship with its natural surroundings. The wavy wooden paths sketched in between the cork trees would be their connecting elements. An economical and easy assembly structure was targeted with the ability of easy transportation thus highlighting its ephemeral character. Besides these conditions the possibility of materials and objects that no longer perform their function being reused gives another interesting as well as important role to this process. The sea transport containers, steel objects of well defines and durable structure provide likable characteristics to this type of re-usage process giving it a rapid and economical aspect. From the industrial container to welcoming and comfortable shelter this object can perform a new function and bring back is own value through the usage of noble and natural materials such as cork agglomerate for isolation and wood as interior paneling. In this way the container stands as a protective and space defining box with the added possibility of being able to connect with the outside. From this we search to explore different ways of organizing their interior with the goal of obtaining an practical and functional system inside an area of 13.70m2. Two programs are created, C to Sleep and C to Cook.

A CASA IMPERFEITA workshop . part 1
A Casa imPerfeita is an experimental project created by Paratelier, in which we seek to explore and simplify the construction process. It is a house designed to be partially built by those who will reside in it, giving an ‘imperfect’ character to the craftsmanship. We become directly connected to the beauty of natural materials, building with our own hands what was previously developed in the studio, seeking to forego the use of prefabricated and standardized elements. An unfinished, irregular, imperfect space; a concrete structure, open to the landscape. This is the basis of the experience in which, with basic construction techniques, it is possible to be part of the preparation, construction and finishing process of the elements that define the space. It is this relationship between space and body, between materials and building with our own hands, that leads us to include ‘A Casa imPerfeita’ in an experimental workshop in which anyone can participate. This was a first phase where the Paratelier’s team worked on the exterior wooden (cedar) wall construction. Made of two different sections, fixed above a simple wooden structure. (treatment, fixation, finishing)

WATER IS ALIVE - La depurazione come risorsa competition - 1st prize
The Maggiori lake placed between sedimentary origin mountains and hills was for centuries a source of inspiration for Europe’s writers, artists, musicians. The entire area is now a living museum. Place of art and nature telling the history and culture of a ‘living’ space profoundly linked to its traditions. The proposal of ‘Water is Alive’ aims to create a space and time dynamic structure, a lab experience of territory narrative where sustainable solutions are searched for. This is a new way of thinking about science, ethics and daily practices in an interactive, innovative way and reproducible in similar regional areas.

THE GREEN CONTAINER project . construction
Container: what contains, intended to transport goods by land, river, sea or sky. Constructed of steel and obeying to a standard size, the containers have incredible structural features. It must be able to be transported anywhere and through different media, why were conceived and designed to withstand shock, resist aggression of the salt and also to be easily stacked, optimizing space up to a maximum of 12 units (empty). Since the ‘50s, these containers began to travel and carry merchandise anywhere in the world. An excessive import/export has resulted in an excessive production of these’ containers’. Obviously it was more economical and faster to buy back a new container at the point of origin of the load, rather than waiting for the return of the empty container from the point of arrival ... in this dynamic, containers began to be stored and accumulated forming real steel cemeteries. On the occasion of the Green Fest 2014, the largest sustainability event in Portugal, we were invited to design a multifunctional space where you can make laboratories of different nature: creative reuse of waste materials, planting and pruning, cutting and sewing. So the Green Container born from the idea of re-use this box, experimenting new solutions for the conversion of these bulky useless objects, industrial garbage, wanting to redeem the quality and value. An Amorim Isolamentos panel composed of coconut fiber and cork, guarantees the thermal/ acoustic insulation. As finishing is applied a wood surface perforated systematically through a numerical control machine where can ‘fit’ pegs of different lengths which will then serve to support shelves, boxes, tables, a sink or a bed ... a blank page, in short, where any person can freely and independently build their own space according to their needs. So the ‘dots’ design the interior surfaces of the container, defining an image, a design, each one creates its own structure: a carpenter, a small study, a library, a music room, an outbuilding for gardening, a tool shed... until you reach a minimum house, a small shelter. Economic and natural materials, in record time, build a place to stay.

HEXACORK
graphic design . product
Hexacork is a product designed for pavement covering through a simple dry fit system. This simplicity allows for easy cut and assembly of a pavement by everybody. The idea was to create a cork hexagon that could be attached to other hexagons just by cutting vertexes and using wooden coins creating in that way a natural and economical pavement. After searching for a name and image the product was presented to the biggest Portuguese cork company, Amorim. This product’s created image and its presentation stems from the simplicity of its design and final shape. The prototype will be put to use on an ongoing construction from which the project a Casa imPerfeita was created. (assembly workshop in acasaimperfeitadoparatelier.tumblr.com)

GREENCONTAINER FLYER graphic design
The Green Container is one of the projects developed and implemented by the Paratelier’s team for the Green Fest 2014 event in Estoril. In order to divulge and present the project a flyer was designed, it was folded in 4 and printed in recycled paper. The main goal was to show the importance of recycling/reconverting objects by showing that is possible to transform them into useful and interesting spaces in a quick, easy and economical way. Several examples of such programs were proposed. In this way the project is explained through a simple and direct language constituted mainly of drawings and icons allowing its good understanding by people of any age.

THE GREENHOUSE ephemeral project . built
When we moved to switzerland we had the lucky to find an old farm with a house and a huge barn. Between these two buildings there was a garden, aparently needing for some care and some life. We mowed the lawn, took care of the flowers and decided to adopt 5 chickens. Since the beginning we had the idea to build up a greenhouse where we could grow fresh vegetables. Almost an year after, we decided to build it taking just an afternoon. The old animals water through, situated in front of the south barn’s façade, was already reused to plant some aromatic herbs, so we decided to make use of the façade as a support to the main greenhouse’s structure. This was a project of the moment, using pieces of wood that we found without use. We bought an ordinary plastic and covered the wood structure, fixing it with golden pins. The greenhouse as an ephemeral project designed and built on site can be quickly removed and reused for another momentaneous ideia.

A HOUSE FOR... competition . finalist
Maria Callas, a lyric opera singer from the twentieth century, with her intense perfect voice, conquered audiences. Best known by ‘La Divina’, Callas was a perfectionist who, through her voice, expressed intense dramatic and scenic emotions. In the sixties, with her voice in decline, she stepped away from the stages for years only to return for one final performance. Mentally and physically frail, Callas hid away from the world in her own solitude. Surrounded by a rapidly morphed landscape, we find an unique area where silence imposes itself. An abandoned quarry. A place of perfection, man, nature, machine. Between the defined texturized form and the raw matter, a place abound with scenographical and acoustic characteristics from which it manifests itself absorbing us in its scale. Placed away from this massive rock formation, a meeting point for the natural landscape and the high rate mechanized process takes place. Nature versus quarry. An house affirms itself as a reference point in this landscape only to make notice its existence by the proximity brought with the natural meandering walk. A slick concrete bulge rises next to the quarry. Delicate curves cut away its textured surfaces and get lost from within. Golden curtains, restless from the wind, complement the arches in its front, faced towards both the pure river holding quarry matter and the audience to whom it shows itself. House images follow two way flows, the flow toward the inside of us and from us within back to it. Maria Callas house draws itself as communicative despair. This is a set, a state. The house is the opera like her life as always been. A seductive place, transporting us along in a poetic sensed dream to an utopic future of boundless drawn contours. “An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.”

THE REAL AND OTHER FICTIONS exhibition
The Lisbon Architecture Triennale is a non-profit association whose mission is to research, foster and promote architectural thinking and practice. It holds a major forum every three years for the debate, discussion and dissemination of architecture across geographic and disciplinary boundaries. Close, Closer, the third edition of the Lisbon Architecture Triennale examined the political, technological, emotional, institutional, and critical forms of global spatial practice. Led by chief curator Beatrice Galilee and curators José Esparza, Mariana Pestana, and Liam Young, the Triennale provided a platform for emerging practitioners and protagonists whose work and interests are far from a traditional client-architect model. The exhibitions, conferences, talks, and fringe events organised by the curatorial team should introduce to the public, and a new generation of architects, this expansive and often unchartered field. The Real and Other Fictions takes place in Palácio Pombal, a building that has had diverse uses and programmes through the course of its history. From residence to embassy, it hosted numerous events and situations. The exhibition brings back the past uses of the building through spatial interventions that foster encounters between the palace and the visitor. Departing from historical facts, the interventions present there construct ideological fictions materialized in real spaces and programmes to be used by the public. For the first time agglomerated in synchrony, the past uses, now re-enacted, re-imagined, are juxtaposed. The preoccupation underlying this exhibition has to do with the ambiguity and the paradoxes beneath the practice of hospitality, with the laws and norms that define and influence the ways in which architecture is used. The subjects and situations generated by the works presented destabilize the rules and compromises inherent to the occupation and use of space. They raise questions about the places in which we move everyday, the ways in which we relate to them and how they make us relate to the other. In the intimacy that they establish between place and occupant, each work practices a form of hospitality. Either to note the conflicts embedded in its exercise or to remind us of the urgency of its application, to prompt unexpected encounters, or to promote oppositions, convergences, battles or consensus.

AERODROME
aviation school of évora
The openness of Alentejo’s landscape with its horizontal domain, its smoothly waved planeness occupied with pastures and dryland farming. The hills show themselves on the landscape in a clear way by its contrast against the plane and by the diversity of shapes resulting from the diverse combination of elements built to support farming. The rare or almost inexistent tree vegetation sporadically dots the ever-changing year round colour variations on the extensive fields, from greens in the winter, reds, yellows and purples in springtime, ochres and browns in the summer. The aerodrome sits close by the urban area however it’s detached in a low density under-developed area where the dryland farming predominates. The smooth fields topography is crossed by the thread of road that provides connection to the city. Parallel to this road, north-south bound, the landing strip shows marking the landscape. The area between these two landmarks, of gentle decline, can be considered as the dividing land/ air element as the tarmac sits by the surrounding upper bound. To strengthen this land/air split two parallelepiped shaped volumes stretching in horizontal and vertical planes and regardless of being two separate identities a continuous shape beyond their limits is shown. These have been implanted in order to be able to fully use the markings left by the old aerodrome building that where having a negative marking on the landscape and simultaneously smoothen it. In this way a sense of belonging to a place and circumstance can be found. The vast aerodrome’s program can be divided into two separate areas, the private living area and the remaining public area. This division is strongly marked by a smooth and elegant curved element coming from the exterior and penetrating into the building ripping its surface. This is also the main entry element, a ramp, coming along with the terrain’s shape and prolonging it. These smoothed curves guide visitors to the reception hall from which the living area on the south side can be reached and the restauration, academy and administration area on the south side. This intervention proposal is in this way seeking full man-nature interaction and the dream of flying for this place.

COLLECTIVE HOUSING BLOCK a place in the middle of lisbon
A proposal which aims to occupy a free and cluttered space, inserted in an urban area built up over centuries, in Ajuda, Lisbon, it has as main objective the connection between what is proposed and the existing environment. The limited ground by a series of mixed occupancy buildings, predominantly comercial, is currently occupied by illegal constructions. By analyzing the different occupations of this site, which was initially a monastic cultivation field and later a playground, the redevelopment is proposed of most of the space as a play area, able to revitalize the surrounding space and the social attitude towards the same. This space is intended for a load distributed throughout the day, including school trips or simple activities of population daily life that surrounds it. High on a platform, the building seeks to tear it smoothly, connecting the lower deck space with its superior outer space. The building features four different typologies: T1 (100m2), T2 (150m2), T3 (200m2) and T4 duplex (300m2) with vertical access by stairs and elevator, with more than three floors. Floor -1 is located in the parking area, garden and a small commercial area. Each apartment consists of the key areas of the house, from eating space, standing, cleaning the bathroom space and sleeping. Wanted create open spaces of free movement allowing greater use of the area, making the eating areas and cleaning as the core of home. These areas act as a core which can be closed or open to adjacent spaces depending on the need.

DESIGN FOR AGING american institute of architects . competition
This competition poses a unique challenge – design an intergenerational project that includes housing for frail elders and is an integral part of an urban community. It will provide students an opportunity to learn about a project type that is part of a burgeoning market and in need of innovation. The main goal of this competition is to create a place that seniors want to move into - a dynamic, highly functioning community for people to age in – one that provides activity, interest, excitement and connection to each other and the community. This project is focused on three potential areas of innovation – program integration and interaction, community connection, and contextual and contemporary building design. The project will create connection between the residents and people within the project, and outward with those in the surrounding community. A garden comes shaping up to the city scale and proportion, as well as a garden molds to the scale of the house. The city as a world of social relations, the house as a shelter or refuge. The intervention site is located in a Lisbon city block - Largo do Rato - where the vehicle, the engine and speed are present features, not allowing the emergence of spaces where man can take refuge from the technological city. The main idea of this proposal is oppose to the city scale the house scale, creating a country garden where the scents and colors are striking and characteristic elements of that new place. Above the garden the apartments of different types, under the garden the community spaces (day care, library, restaurant) connected to adjacent streets and other parts of the city. It is intended a straight relation between the proposed buildings and the garden, looking for a materiality that is permeable and at the same time striking and protective. The perforated metal sheet allows this constant permeability, filtering not only light but also the colors and aromas remain as a refuge, as a home.
