New entrance to Kalyandurg’s Hospital August 2007 (building in progress)
The hospital in Kalyandurg (a small village in the region of Anantapur, India) was needing a new entrance because the rain was getting inside the atrium. I worked as a volunteer for the spanish fundation Rural Development Trust - Fundación Vicente Ferrer, who built the hospital and is also in charge of this construction.
This project is a clear reference to Paulo Mendes da Rocha (pritsker awarded in 2006) design for the Praça do Patriarca revitalization in São Paulo. He proposted to restaure the old square as it was, and added a new, light structure to cover it. Without touching the ground, the structure is capable of re-organizing the space of the square only by providing shelter, and marking the metro station.
In order to preserve the openess of the hospital´s entrance, I proposed a new roof that hangs itself at a inverted beam. The pilars are pushed away from the access ramp, leaving space for a generous entrance with a roof floating above it.
MST - Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem Terra Mouvement of the Rural Workers with no Land 2006 design to FAU-USP, presented at the MST campsite
I chose to work with this ideological movement because I wanted to participate, as an architect, in the construction of a more equal society. This movement is promoting a very important change to the rural land ownership in Brazil. Demanding that unproductive land from big farmers be passed on to people that need it and can work on it. The design plays here a very important role: racionalizing the land use and making very clear how the land ownership could be, with a more equal and collective character. To assure the objectives to be socialy, economically and ecologically responsable, I followed Bill Mollison’s principles of Permaculture. By making the design more harmonic with the climate, the site conditions and the labour available, it is possible to allow nature to do most of the work for us. This organization brings a continuous and diversified production throughout the year, with a very low energy consumption. The objective is to work with the local potantialties and allowing them to grow stronger. Organizing the production areas in strips perpendicular to the private sites emphasize the collective caracter of production and reproduction of the local comunity.
organization of the productive areas in strips - breaking the limits of individual plots
area close to the house and more intensively used species of plants and animals that require greater care are located in this area little maintenance, with not-trimmed vegetation and animals that can be untied.
Does not require any maintenance. The structural forest, productive florest throughout the hole year and the riverside vegetation are located here.

trategy for establishing public awareness in enclosed space
LYNCH WEEKEND
The necessity of the ever faster growing city of SĂŁo Paulo for more dwellings, resulted in this mixed program for a site in the city center design to FAU-USP in 2006
in order to keep the diversity of the city center, the building will contain:
300 dowellings - 150 student housing - 150 family housing colective area / equipments
library
2000 m² comercial area 2 public theaters - 50 seats - 200 seats
the given program a solid block with the public functions on the city’s ground floor, and a massive housing organization, with little sun, little diversity, little space.
... the public square is organized vertically, according to its functions and its relation to several city heights. Multiplicating the ground floor could bring a deeper conection of the citizens to their habitat ...
... two theaters can give a cultural boost to the surroundings ...
... and then the colective equipments work as a connection node throughout the intire building
they spread open, breathe over the city. allowing the sun and the wind to enter to hole building
the inhabitants will now have several qualities of space
2 theaters ,
and a library
the vertical públic squares ,
the result is a highly dense building, with a variety of funcitions, and in close tuning with its urban surroundings. the purpose of its architecture is to act as a ‘human gatherer’ The idea of a residencial tower with comerce on the base is shadered and the construction assumes a far more important role in the city, an multiple-functional urban equipment.
BUT WHAT IF... ... the library is added close to the street ...
the dwellings will have to react in order to incorporate these changes
the collective facilities ,
view of the public space in the middle height of the building
the two theaters bring a very diferent impression to the spectator.
the upper one has broad overview of São Paulo’s center
in the street level, the theater is based on a Lina Bo Bardi design (sesc pompeia). By making two facing auditorium, the audience is continuously confronted with themselves while watching a play.

Cratera de Parelheiros Parelheiros: The peripheral City design to FAU-USP, published in the faculty magazine 1:1000
the city and the crater the assignment seeked solutions for the consequences of the fast expantion of S達o Paulo. S達o Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world, is expanding in a speed far greater then its infrastructre can follow. The mouvement of contraction and expantion that the city goes trough every day, leaves areas where the public domain is unnable to interviene in a construction of a more coherent urban tissue. In the very south of the city, is found a very unique geological formation: a crater opened two milions years ago, on the side of the Billings dam, in the verge of the sea mountain chain. This was the site of the assignment, the question of density arose.
the discussion raised itself, shoud we ‘fix’ the problems of current cities or propose an ideal city? why not imagine a new kind of urbanization? why not think of the cities of the future? as they could be?
‘After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveler directed towards Baucis cannot see the city and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds support the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themsellves: having already everything they need up there, they prefer not to come down. Nothing from the city touches the earth except those long flamingo legs it rests and, when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that falls on the foliage. There are three hypotheses about the inhabitants of Baucis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spyglasses and telescopes aimed downward they never tire of examining it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, comtemplating with facination their own absence.’ CALVINO, Italo in ‘The Invisible Cities’

Is it possible to built an increadibly dense mega-structure, that rarely touches the ground?
A modulation was the most practical way to express the need for order. The mega structure would have 200 x 25 meters wide, with a central spam of 120 meters and 40 meters cantilievers on each side

with this fixed structure, the space inside gets a great freedom to adapt to diferent uses :
housing with various densities ...
... cultural and sports equipments ...
and productive infrastructure

housing typologies
low density housing
high density housing

D
this variety can lead to extreme density changes, in a very short distance
these functions can be combined in several ways, resulting in a mixed and diversified urbanism, where nothing touches the ground `except those long amingo legs`.

Hybrid Building for the Dutch City _ haarlem In the spring semester 2007 the design assignment was to elaborate a hybrid building. To enhance the quality of the new expantion of Haarlem, this new building should make a dialogue between different functions, diferent spaces and diferent people, the old and the new. I focused in the quality of the public space, preserving its democratic nature and giving the basis - space - to a more fertile mix of use, social classes, culture.

FOYER
section through the foyer
The foyer has to invite the citizens to come in, it has to be a part of the city. With that in mind I proposed an entry to the theater with different relations to the city, different spatial perception, different cultural activities.
an outside arena, to external activities and marking the entrance to the inside theater
section through the outside stage, foywer and underwater theater
the foyer,a more introspective space. After entering the foyer, one gets light only from above, preparing a frame of mind to watch a play
view from the foyer
the theater dives in the direction of the river, making front with the heavy trafďŹ c street on this side of the site. from outside, the pedestrian sees the theater emerging from the water as a water sculpture
