ABOUT ME Hello, I´m Pedro, a Portuguese 31 years old architect who likes to doodle around to find architecture in nonsense objects like a stapler, with a huge love with the ocean and God´s nature, and always facing life with a big smile on my face. I went through a Post-graduation Course in Advanced Studies in Digital Architecture in a joint venture between FAUP - Faculty of Architecture of the University of Porto and ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon in 2013, and graduated with honours in Architecture from the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias in 2007. Since then I have had six years of experience working with Ressano Garcia Arquitectos, OSMOSE Arquitectos, and since 2010 with OPERA Design Matters. I also develop independent practice with Helga Rodrigues Architect where we develop competitions and other small projects. My current interest is the digital craft exploration as a blending territory with the artisanal craft through digital tools of mass creativity, generative and parametric design, digital fabrication and physical prototypes that help shape the creative process through research and implementation. I´m a creative thinker, talented, enthusiastic, good mood, friendly and multidisciplinary person who seeks to continue developing creativity, improving skills and exploring new perspectives in each challenge. Who´s looking for an opportunity abroad to embrance a new stage in my life, to continue learning and discover new cultures.

The snow is a forecast occurrence which consists in the precipitation of flakes formed by ice crystals. The EMERGING phenomenon may have mild, moderate or strong intensity.

A04_TEXTIL(e)ING MORPHOLOGIES [POST GRADUATION]

Each flake is composed of ice water in crystalline form and its crystal has hexagonal shape and appearance of a star. Geometrically the best known snowflake is the KOCH CURVE whose construction begins with a straight line segment which is divided into three equal parts, generating an equilateral triangle where the first six iterations result in a fractal similar to a snowflake.

This exercise comes from an initial proposal for a facade inspired by the American sculptor born in Austria, Erwin Hauer. He produces modular pieces that when put together form fantastic sculptural walls and architectural screens ideal for light diffusion. This proposal reflects the inspiration the artist brings to my work. The modules used are inspired by a 2D japanese pattern that translated to 3D simulates the effect of flower petals. Here the CAD-CAM exercise makes use of the CNC machinery to produced a prototype using a 800x400mm polystyrene to learn about subtractive digital fabrication.

A04_TEXTIL(e)ING MORPHOLOGIES [POST GRADUATION]

DATE 2013

TEXTIL(e)ING MORPHOLOGIES investigates the possibility of using fibres as a mean to represent a complex and fundamental linguistic element in architecture. The idea of envelope, or skin with the hability to stretch and adapt. The etimology of the word textile refers to a flexible woven material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting or others. Through this techniques, the artists can develop their works from a predeterminate pattern, or freely towards an unpredictable result. Using patterns (in this case, archimedean patterns) as an analog technique can be considered a bottomup design that reveals part-to-whole relationships, because every knot, thread, etc. are all interrelated. As a material system it expresses a constructive logic and ornamentation quality as well as geometric adaptation and flexibility. It is a sustainable process because it works in a subtraction fashion. In this case the rips in the nylon cloth didn´t waste any material. This investigation, and the work presented, will contribute to illustrate not only the potential for exploring complex geometries, but also for the broader discussion about the relation between analog and digital medias and processes, as well as between traditional crafts and the possibility for digital crafts.

LISB

Fibers are the secret to understanding biological structures, and they don´t tear. You cannot tear a living skin, but you can tear a well-woven cloth. Living structure is completely different to artificial technical structures that are shaped by simple geometries. The structure of living nature is very complex. In living structure every element is different. This is why living structures do not tear easily. Irregularity is important not only in biology but also in technology, and is a field that has not been researched enough.

The premise from which it begins is part of the merger between the biological and technological world that is now a reality and cannot be ignored. Computers and robotics prove to be able to free the Architects and Designers of a catalog architecture, based on still images, showing them a new field of action. Complex processes, analogous to those that occur in nature, take the leading role and enable a more coherent connection with the living environment. Intends to become a consistent connection between current biological knowledge and architectural design in the light of recent technological advances. In this direction an exercise will be developed in design and construction of a fractal structure using parametric processes and generative technologies [Workshop Intro, Program and Objectives]

When we walk in the Shopping Centre we are invited to enter the MDD KIDS STORE by a canopy that receives the visitor at the entrance. This element, which extends across the interior of the shop, involves a series of building elements and is the link of the entire space, like a loop. The shop is characterized by an open space, clear and white. The color have special predominance in the clothes presented - they constitute the true soul of this project. However, and as a form of union between the parts we have the canopy, the link mentioned above, which has a very strong color. A specific red that fits the conceptual theme and trademark associated with the own brand, MDD KIDS.

A XVII century building where the municipal code allows the roof extension according to the heights of the neighboring buildings.

P04_ALTERNATIVE CAR PARK P05_ICONIC PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

Besides the roof extension and overall building rehabilitation, the interior is flexible enough to provide one or two bedroom in a single apartment. The entrance of the apartments is made through the living room, an open space where the only visual barrier is a “suspended” cork volume. The acess to the bedrooms are made through a bookcase. These hidden spaces become private when sliding panels that belongs to the furniture. It´s also possible to isolate the two bedrooms individually through folding panels, or transform one of the bedrooms in a workspace at home, a “Small Office - Home Office” For the roof extension we adopted Light Steel Framing. The structural safety, low weight, easy maintenance, construction speed, building versatility and sustainability, makes this galvanized steel structure a fantastic option to receive the expanded cork agglomerate - 100% natural and ecological material - for the shading stripes that involves the roof as well as reinforcement of the insulation and thermal systems.

P04_ALTERNATIVE CAR PARK

The architectural proposal is part of a primarily agricultural county where the population retains many of the traits that made their rural history and ethnography. It is characterized by a vast and rich natural heritage and landscape. There is also the built heritage, now in ruins which is part of the archeology of production processes that activate the county in the last century.

P05_ICONIC PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE

From the association of the concepts (acupuncture + ecology) the Ecological Acupuncture concept is born. It results of the intervention at strategic points in the area to intervene. Make the place an attractive tourist and leisure spot, with thirst for nature. Preserve and restore the heritage in ruins, potential sites to various cultural and sports activities, places of contemplation, observation, and entertainment. Everything is linked to shed sustainable use of existing resources and environmental principles in order to preserve the Natural Heritage and Landscape surrounding the entire area, captivating the interest and curiosity of the visitor. The infrastructures that represent part of acupunture are represented by “boxes” in slatted wood placed inside the stone buildings of several mills in ruins, scattered across the “Green Corridor”. The wooden “boxes”, are the elements that foster the basic idea of the concept, ie, their intervention is in places that most need support. The “box” in slatted wood has a slight and simplified impact so as not erase what man built and time destroyed. We maintain our existence with its boundaries and merge it with the new proposal subtly inside. The “box within the box” is more than create a new image of the whole area to intervene, is to create an identity unifying the proposed project.

The benefits of its use are: - Natural air-condition and protection of the structure from weather conditions, avoiding direct incidence of sunlight and rain; - Improved microclimate and air quality. Gases and pollutants are removed from the air and are slowly decomposed and mineralized, becoming fertilizer. The coating plant helps reducing the CO2 emissions by releasing O2; - Increase biodiversity as it allows to recreate something akin to natural environments; - Ornamental and aesthetic purposes as a visual enhancement; Above the roof of the access core, thermodynamic panels were placed so that the building is energetically self-sustainable. The energy is used throughout the day reducing the costs of consumption.

DATE 2012

The iconic bridge proposal that connects the two riverbanks of the Amstel River distinguishes itself from the surrounding because it invites us to cross, stay and touch the water, bringing us closer to nature. It´s geometry takes shape from the topological use of three axis, starting from a straight one from the Hermitage Amsterdam Museum, which is the fastest connection, but where we can stay in a pinched concrete stair slab that serves both as an auditorium or a place do contemplate at the top, but also as a shading canopy below where we find the second axis which takes shape from the wheelchair accessibility point of view, always maintaining a 6º inclination. This crossing is also great for bicycles, making it easy to use. A third and final axis which is not a crossing, but a moment for contemplating nature and the surroundings while we drink a coffee or dine at the restaurant. It´s also a place to hop on/off the river boats that uses this river channel.
