Hello, My name is Rebeca Rabello. I am an architect, urbanist, and a Cum Laude graduate of the EMU European-Post-masters-in Urbanism program at TU Delft. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Architecture and Urbanism from the University of Brasília and I have multiple years of experience in working on large-scale, complex architectonic and urbanistic projects. Coming from Brazil, a country rich in diversity, culture and natural wealth, but also abundant in social inequality, I am interested in taking part of transdisciplinary architectural and urbanism projects that address the challenges cities of the twenty-first century face. Issues such as environmental threats, social inequalities, disruptive technological innovations, and economic crisis indicate a potential disintegration of the existing technological, socio-economic and political order. I believe urban planning, design and architecture are at the forefront of the debate regarding possible new socio-economic and technological dynamics within urbanscapes. I strongly believe that ‘rightful’ urban planning when socially oriented improves cities’ living conditions, develops more equitable societies, enhances the practice of citizenship and renders more resilient urban settlements. A bit about me: I am a highly motivated, focused and hard-working individual. I am able to smoothly navigate through different design scales and deal with a multiplicity of programs and topics. I believe my international experience and background are an asset in exploring innovative design solutions fit for diverse geographies, social arrangements and cultural mindsets. I look forward to hearing from you and would love to discuss in person my ideas and the possibility of becoming a part of your team.

Two-thirds of the Cerrado plants’ structure are underground. It is the intricate system of roots that absorbs water and feeds the deep underground tables and aquifers. Exotic vegetation does not have the capacity to distribute water in this biome, thus disrupting the ecosystem balance.
WATER MANAGEMENT
The Hydrological Crisis in Brasília The construction of Brasília aimed to embody an idealized future for Brazil. However, the city’s reality is vastly different from the one imagined in the late 1950s.

This thesis focused on such hydrological crisis and presented an alternative approach to Brasilia’s water management. Through the design of a Green-Infrastructure [GI] network, this project evaluated the transferability of GI theory principles to both modernist cityscapes and cities restricted by heritage protection policies. Furthermore, this project explored the potential role of urban morphology in promoting soft water management solutions inside urbanscapes. By doing so, this study established a set of methods, which assisted in the analysis of the urban landscape and in the design of site-specific watersensitive strategies.

The implemented urbanization model led to the marginalization of several social groups. The adopted infrastructural mindset and the deforestation of Cerrado vegetation rendered the exploitation of natural resources and the integrity of local ecosystems unviable, leading to a current hydrological crisis.

Brasília: a Water-Sensitive City - 2030 Implementing water-sensitive urban strategies in Brasília implied a challenging quest, for the founding principles of the Green-Infrastructure theory are completely antagonistic to the ones that shaped the city of Brasília. The question was then:
How can water-sensitive solutions be implemented in a city designed upon principles of zoning, segregation, mono-functionality, and heavy grey infrastructure without compromising its existing urbanistic heritage?

dispersed productive tissue
The Veneto productive territory is the result of entrepreneurial initiatives that have shaped new geographies of production and consumption in the region. These productive geographies are spatially characterized by a dichotomous system of disperse, fine-grained businesses and large, concentrated industrial platforms.

industrial platforms
Despite the expansion boom occurred in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, most industrial platforms in Italy are currently challenged by new productive trends, international market competition and instabilities in the global economy. The limitations of these milieux to respond to emerging demands and technological disruptions have manifested into increasing amounts of vacant and underused real estate.

The fixed englobed the ground layer, with its naturally and culturally embedded elements, as well as the infrastructure that enables and precedes industries. The flexible encompassed various occupations
of the land above and in-between the fixed elements, as well as various flows, such as energy, waste or pollution. The objective of the project was to understand these flows, and propose conditions so they become more environmentally efficient, interconnected and visible.

Scenario # 3 Assembling a Hybrid Space A Transition Towards a Polysemic Productive Environment Industrial platforms, in the future, will be composed of diverse building typologies, answering to small and large industries. The contraction of operational space will allow product design, production and marketing to occur at the same place. Industrial platforms will become hybrid spaces with a
polysemy of production and knowledge.
However, how can the resources of this transformation be found within the industrial landscape? How can the production process transition from a linear towards a circular material cycle?

Dis-assemble & Re-assemble
From dismantled structures, this study proposed three types of reuse: Function Retrofit; Dis-Assemble & Re-Assemble; and Demolish & Re-Process.

A diversification of functions can promote the industrial platform as a new urban centrality, and enables synergisms and the formation of an ecosystem.

The South Randstad (Zuidvleugel) is a thriving region, which produces 25% of the Netherlands’ GNP and hosts a major portion of the country’s industrial, logistic, services and knowledge industries. The region is a poly-nuclei metropolitan area connected by a complex network that allows for various flows. The governance system in the region is mainly structured by individual municipal agents that act locally, rather than on strategies regarding the Zuidvleugel as a whole. However, shifts in the Dutch governance system have enabled intertwined regional strategies involving several cities. Nonetheless, innovative strategies are required to render the region resilient to socio-economic disruptions. Emerging trends are influencing the current economic context and might lead to the paradigm of the NEXT ECONOMY.

Within the context of this study, productivity is seen as the economic output divided by input factors. This general economic quotient is proposed from the perspective of a long-term horizon and an overarching scope. While the drivers for the economic
15
output have to be increased, the waste of the input resources has to be reduced. Due to the high interdependence of the quotient, working solely on specific factors cannot improve the overall productivity. One side is useless without the other one.

MUSEUM
The Design Concept The privileged location of the Museum was the starting point of the architectural concept. In order to avoid an unnecessary verticalization of the building, the project made the most of the terrain, occupying a significant area of the plot. The architectural program was solved in five different levels, distributed in two contiguous edifications. All levels of the building, except for the mezzanine, have double height, which enables a wide range of expositions to be held in the museum.
The ground level was designed for a minimum occupancy rate, in order to promote a connection between the redeveloped waterfront and the city. At first contact with the Museum, the users and the inhabitants of the city discover a plaza open to the public, over pilotis, with contemplation spaces offering views of the noble neighborhood of Puerto Madero.
The structural system of the building was thought to be its most prominent architectural element. The apparent rigidity of the building from the outside surprises the visitors when entering the Entrance Hall.
The proposed Museum
MUSEU DE ARTE CONTEMPORĂ&#x201A;NEA DE BUENOS AIRES
The flagstone design was conceived to create fluidity in the building. Structural modularity and an interplay of internal atriums promote visually connected, free floorplans.

AIRPORT
The Design Concept In 2012, the Viracopos Airport was commissioned by Aeroportos Brasil Viracopos (ABV). The prospects of the Fifa World Cup (2014) and the Summer Olympic Games (2016), combined with existing bottleneck issues rendered eminent the expansion of the Airport´s capacity. The conceptual expansion project was designed by the Dutch airport consulting office, NACO Airport Consultancy and Engineering. The project proposed a modular structure, which allowed for incremental expansions throughout the foreseen airport development horizons. Themag Engenharia and Intertechne Consultores were hired to conduct, respectively, the detailed design for the new Passenger terminal and the construction work monitoring.
