In order to celebrate its second year of existence, DARCO Magazine organized, in partnership with JOFEBAR (25th anniversary celebration), the Architecture Congress “AICO - Architecture International Congress at Oporto”. This event intended to join and present the work of 36 Architecture Offices (national and international), showing the work in progress and different ways of planning and “thinking” architecture. This event also aimed to promote and support architecture in its broadest term having been developed, in order to reach such objective, a competition for architects and architecture students, workshops related to architecture, explanatory models and architectural photography exhibitions. In addition to promoting and supporting architecture, “AICO - Architecture International Congress at Oporto” intends to encourage and develop new relationships between architects, architecture students and people in general.

Luis Palhão www.darcomagazine.com DARCO Magazine / Architecture Technical Magazine, founded in March 2008, by Architects Ana Leal and Luis Palhão. DARCO Magazine aims to be a tool to support the project practice, for architects and architecture students. With bimonthly issues, an average circulation of 5000 copies and published in a bilingual format (Portuguese and English), DARCO Magazine assumes itself as an International magazine that aims to present the work and projects of international offices through floor plans, sections, elevations, construction details and images, trying to maintain a neutral position regarding the presentation of the projects. Its white cover emphasizes such neutrality. Made by architects for architects, DARCO Magazine seeks to present the published projects as if they were seen at the architect’s office.

The logo for the Students Association of the Faculty of Architecture from Oporto University - AEFAUP - was designed with the aim of creating a better identification of the students at FAUP with the Students Association, valuing it. In this sense, the logo consists of a symbol that stands A and E by its graphic design and its colors. A | represents the stability the Faculty Association already have, the E | features dynamism and liveliness that students carry into these institutions. The symbol also refers to the architectural features, using the building forms itself to create a direct identification with the words A and E with the Faculty. The colors used in the visual identity brand are: Grey (60% black), which represents the color of concrete, bringing the brand strength and structure, and the colors green, orange, red and blue, complementary colors in the color circle that harmonize, carrying dynamism and balance for the brand image.

The goal of this project is to give a new character on sustainable projects with the intent of helping the country to solve its social priorities, acting as a factor of social transformation. Both training and practise football pitches assume a great importance, being the main one the rotor of development of the main building, together with the ramp crossing the site. On that way, the building with common materials but with a non-common structure display, gets higher visibility, working as an icon for the city and its new steel plant, having as basis not only an environmental sustainability, but also an economical and social, giving visibility to youngsters and women on the community. The ground floor gets free for community spaces and social activities together with sports areas. A mixed program, where multiple activities can occur at the same time, creating multiple challenges in a same site.

The negative image one can have about prefabricated house does not correspond directly with the improvements it can to the general sense of “house” or “home”. In this sense, we sought a balance between an ideal feeling about the “house” and the largest determinant of the project, the 37.5 m2 footprint limit. The common “icon house”, due to a shift in coverage enables height development, increasing the space volume. Therefore, to minimize the footprint, the smallest dimension was sought, rotating the house icon. The new provision has formally restricted the base area, but the more pronounced angles allow a better use of volumetric inside space and, outside, leads to the exploitation of the surrounding space. The developed concept is completed by the modular association of the “turned icon house”. To the desired area, the space has been optimized in 7 sequential modules with 1.2 m, with development on two floors.

90’ GENERATION date . 2008 - 2010 activity . MSc Thesis - FAUP responsible . Prof. Rui Jorge Garcia Ramos (FAUP) and Prof. Abilio Guerra (Mackenzie/SP)
The present study sets on the research of contemporary architecture designed by the generation graduated in the 1990’s from Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto (FAUP) and Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo (FAU-USP). The essay attempts to analyze the relationship between these schools’ legacy, the specificities of the academic activity as well as these young architects’ generation professional practice, located between the 1980’s and 1990’s, with a thematic approximation to their professional production trough studying both practical and theoretical production they put forward in their time. From the parallels drawn and this generation’s professional production, allows to outline the reading of their academic courses based on a previous ideology, developed on the diversity of processes in a troubled time and the result of certain coherence which presents to its past as well as its present.
