Veranda-Space: spatial experiment in a superblock in Brasília PUC-Rio l Bachelor Graduation Project l 2016 Project’s Location: SQN 207 - North Wing, Brasília, Brazil Tutor: Gabriel Duarte

The present project, developed for my final graduation thesis, is divided into three stages. Two of research and concept definitions and a third of design. The design is an experiment, based on the concept formulation. The study starts from the recognition of the importance of the balcony within the Brazilian architecture. Residential buildings from the indige-

nous period until the contemporary one are chosen in order to understand the historic evolution of the architectural element. Along this study, the concept of Veranda-Space is defined. This term refers to all the variations of the intermediate space, including different balcony typologies, but also pilotis and courtyards. Then, a focus is made on the Brazilian Modern

Architecture. A moment when a Brazilian language is formulated from the meeting between international and traditional concepts. Brasília is chosen as the case study, proving the significance of the Veranda-Space to the design of the modern residential blocks. Finally, from the two previous analysis, an experiment is proposed within the last unoccupied Su-

perblock of Brasília. Different Veranda-Spaces are designed, based on the traditional typologies and questioning notions of scale and composition. The final arrangement becomes a critique to the current state of Brasília’s Superblocks. While spaces transition became spaces of separation, an inverse process is proposed by this experiment, in which the Veranda-Spaces provide spaces of relations. 11

The first aspect that called our attention was the relations between the historical urban tissue and the modern parts of Mantua. At first, looking at the city plans, it seemed that there was a strict frontier between the historical urban tissue and the modern one. However, when we walked through the city we saw examples that showed that this frontier is not as strict as it seemed when seen from a visitors perspective. Furthermore, we realized that the program had

a similar condition. First, we also acknowledged a strict frontier between memory (T. Nuvolari museum) and modernity (the mediatheque type). However, when we look further into Nuvolariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life we realized that he was a man who represented modernity in his time and the mediatheque type also allows connections to the past. Therefore, we chose three main design instruments that would help us manage the spaces of our building: surface, light and heights. The

surface is responsible for defining a boundary and determines the kind of relation between the spaces on each side of it. The light is responsible for further creating different atmospheres with different kinds of natural, diffused and artificial types. Finally, the height of each room also permits different perceptions for the visitors in each space. Also, the spatial arrangement of these heights helps creating different kinds of relation from one room to another. Arranging these three instruments it was possible

to create different kinds of intermediate spaces. Consequently, from the outside of the building, it is possible to have a visual effect of these layers overlapping. The overlaped situations are understood while walking through the different spaces. The most important points of the discovery are the spaces of transition, the in between spaces. To guide this discovery two elements are used: the towers and the paths. 21

Layered Perception Politecnico di Milano l Final Workshop Antico e Nuovo l 2019 Project’s Location: Mantova - Italy Group: André Passos, Caterina Falcidieno and Barbara Venturini

The following project is the design of an exhibition space in the Vincenzo Cellars of the Palazzo Ducale in Mantova, for the works of art of the Italian artist Emilio Isgrò. The project starts from the interpretation of Cancellatura, to then define the concept of Layered Perception. Cancellatura, a language developed by the artist, is the gesture of erasing parts of an instrument of information, such as a book, a picture, a map, or other. The information is no longer seen in its

original form, disturbing the visitors’ perception: a loss of reference occurs. As mentioned by the artist, Cancellatura is the attempt to destroy language waste, which is the problem of today. We are overwhelmed by a quantity of information that we can no longer distinguish real from false ¹. According to the group, Cancellatura is not limited to the act of subtracting parts. Instead, as an addition of layers, that, one on top of the other, suggests a new frame to look upon the erased

work. In this sense, Cancellatura re-signifies the original information, triggering doubts and questions. Emilio Isgrò says that the erasure is a gesture that becomes a sign to start talking again among Men, where talking is no longer possible ². The Layered Perception concept understands that the meaning of the art is found when observing both the revealed and the hidden layers of the art piece. In fact, the art demands an observation and a, consequent, interpretation of its whole.

The exhibition space is, therefore, always organized based on the superimposition of layers. The organization of these layers inside the exhibition is defined by the interpretation of each work of art and the identified values in it. 1 Emilio Isgrò - Artista Barcellonese di fama internazionale interview. 2 Cancellature, ma non solo: a Milano tripla antologica su Isgrò interview. 29

Convento do Desterro Politecnico di Milano l Architectural Design in Historical Context l 2018 Projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Location: Lisbon, Portugal Group: AndrĂŠ Passos, Francesca Meneghelli and Nihan Zorlu Professors: Barbara Bogoni and Eduardo Souto de Moura

The first characteristic that called our attention was the presence and importance of the cloisters to the building. Since the initial design, it was a fundamental attribute of the space distribution of the monastery. Given that the main requirement of the studio is to open the building to the city,

we decided to explore how these cloisters, an archetype that is usually related to an inner relation, could be extroverted providing a new interpretation for these elements and a new relation to the city. From our previous study of the city of Lisbon, we noticed that some urban spaces are similar

to cloisters regarding the delimitation of space, but with some fundamental differences: the possibility of crossing it and the presence of multiple accesses. We used these conditions as a guide of the type of relations we wanted to create as we redesigned these cloisters. This results in

different intermediate spaces such as courtyards, terraces, catwalks and balconies that allow the visual or physical relation between the monastery, the ruins of the church, the black box, the student`s residence and the surroundings.

Two Approaches to Tradition. Brazil and Portugal: The Modern Dwelling F Politecnico di Milano l Master Thesis l 2020 Supervisor: Angelo Lorenzi Co-supervisor: Sebastiano Marconcini

The point of departure of this master thesis is the importance of the design of faรงades as an affirmation of cultural behaviors. In fact, it can be noticed in several examples throughout history how the design of faรงades may respond to the specific needs of each culture. As a consequence, the buildings become a record of customs, wills and habits of a specific society. This background

provided the group of architects of the Modern Movement that was less inclined to follow a completely international and mass-produced approach with the necessary instruments to produce an architecture that balanced tradition and modernity. Thus, the research will compare the architecture of the Modern period in Brazil and Portugal to try to delineate how the traditional

Faรงade

behaviors of each country affected the design of their faรงades. This decision comes from the historical relation between the two nations. There was a significant exchange between them during Brazilian colonization and during the Modern Movement. While in the colonization the Portuguese architecture was adapted to a Brazilian context, the research on tradition made by Brazilian

architecture during the Modern Movement was very important to the Portuguese since they shared some aspects of their history in common. As a result, it is expected to understand how the use of traditional values in the design of faรงades improves their relation with the context and, most importantly, modifies the international approach idealized by the Modern Movement. 51 23

Site-Frame Site Dwelling l Competition l January 2017 Project’s Location: Salir do Porto - Portugal Group: André Passos

The project interprets the symbiosis between the old ruins and the landscape as an important characteristic of the site to intervene critically when facing the dwelling program. As shown in the axonometric drawings, the project identifies the ruin when first built as an imposition of the manmade work over nature and its collapse through time as a nature takeover. Because of this takeover, the ruin started to be part of the natural landscape, with vegetation growing over and inside of it. Furthermore, the old Sant’Ana Chapel began to frame the site with its remaining walls, windows

and doors. Due to that, the decision was to create a structural methodology to make spaces inside the Chapel without touching it or its soil, in order to inquire the limits crossed between manmade and nature. The method consists of pillars positioned around the ruins with beams crossing in the north-south and east-west direction, bracing the structure. That allowed the creation of spaces supported by rods and a second level. It establishes a suspended space inside the ruin, alternating open, intermediate and enclosed rooms. The specificity of each space was determined by

three main sights: bay, ocean and accessing cliff (drawing below). The design of the spaces defines four main view-axes related to these sights. These different views are revealed gradually when walking through the ruins on the intervention. On the first floor, the views are framed by the ruins and on the second floor, a whole panoramic view is created. Due to the importance of creating an open space for its inhabitants interpretation and experience, few equipments were used. The only spaces that specifically required it were the cooking and bathing areas.

However, they were designed to allow these experiences while engaging with the landscape. In the main room, a lowered table with a cooking plate in the middle was designed so people could gather, prepare a simple meal and eat together. The bathing space has an enclosed toilet, a covered place to wash hands and completely opened waterfall shower with a view of the bay. On the second floor, there is a place which can be completely closed or opened which could be used for sleeping. The structure shelters a dwelling program that respects and empowers the site. render by Passos and post-production by Lange 64 63
