water shadow wind white Nearby the Tagus river there is a long seawall and a little beach. This area was very crowded in the past. Today, it is an abandoned place but with a lot of potential. A long beautiful path where it is possible to sea the river and the iconic Control Tower. The goal of this exercise was to freely explore four themes: water, shadow, wind and white. These four themes gave birth to a system of spaces and relations between the place, the two sides of the city and a new path. The idealized structure, open in tunnel, it is a place where is allowed to listen to the wind and the wavesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sound, touch the water, going through it, see the two sides of the river, enjoy the silence and explore drawings made of light and shadow. A dematerialized line, wall, allowing a fusion between these four elements and the city itself, in one structure.

2013 . LISBON

Nowadays, Hospitals are fixed buildings served by ambulances, a system that doesn’t work. In urgent situations, ambulances go through the city picking up patients and returning to the hospital. They take double time and lose lives. We decided to create a movable hospital to treat in place. 10 000 patients, 10 000 individual capsules linked to medical capsules with doctors, nurses and equipment. A city above the city. A net is linked to a mother structure, located in Parque Eduardo VII, a central point of Lisbon. Capsules travelling this network pick and treat urgent patients, sending them to be hospitalized in the mother structure.

BIG BOX I KGDVS

2012 . PARIS . SWITZERLAND

Contemporary cities need Architectures Without Content. Paris is the third biggest metropolitan area in Europe and the 17th in the world, with approximately 12,223 millions inhabitants (2010). This analysis meant to help students to understand the real meaning of the changings and new needs of our society and time. This building from Ricardo Bofill wanted to demystify the idea of classic architecture and give nobility to social and collective house buildings. These drawings are the result of a group analysis done by each group work in the Atelier Kresten Geers, Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio, Switzerland, after a trip to Paris and local visit to the presented building.

BIG BOX II KGDVS

2012 . PARIS .SWITZERLAND

« Architecture cannot be too ambitious, but has to be smart; not too sophisticated, but it has to be intelligent; it should be significant enough not to be overlooked, to make sense on its own right. » Kresten Geers The Big Box theory started with Robert Venturi, in the early nineteen seventies and since then it has been developed. The function\content of a building is the catalyst but not its quintessence. Paris needs to suffer a huge change in its suburban areas as Quartier Pleyel near the Stade de France. Needs infrastructures in a different scale from the central Paris. What could be a better catalyst than a building that works as a train station, connecting two sides of the city, a bridge, a garden, a pen stage, a belvedere, a logistic center, a warehouse, a bicicle and car park...? A Big Box with an outside and an inside which have different ways of being. The outside works as a conector, with all public and gathering spaces. The inside, is closed to itself, a machine that only needs to work and function for one reason, store needs that come from the trains and trucks all over Paris. Almost no one work inside this space, only few people. Inside there are only huge shelves with products, stored by size, nature, kind. These prefabricated shelves are the pilars of this structure that support the roof garden. The other side of the building was thought to be used by the city, by all people that pass through it, a connection line that helps to give identity to this concept of «new city» for «new citizens». A machine, a roof , a ramp, a temple. Big Box & Genius Locci in Paris | collage for Raphael Balestra | 2012

EPHEMERAL STRUCTURES ESTEJO

2013 . TRAFARIA

This project was born during the 2nd ESTEJO Workshop. ESTEJO is a Research Group that studies the Tejo Estuary, its potential and opportunities for the Future. In the workshop 5 groups discussed ideas to requalify Trafaria and the river front. Trafaria is a small village in the south side of the river right in front of Lisbon. Our project was about Ephemeral Structures. The theme was related to the desire to create a route punctuated by ephemeral elements that re-qualify and follow the natural evolution of the coast line, south side of Lisbon, as well as downs and rising river levels. Temporary structures – pavilions - which could follow time and changes. The south side of the Tagus River, and the Trafaria margin in particular, are places that suffered permanent changes over time due to factors such as erosion, rising water levels, winds and construction. Build permanent structures, attached to this coastline, is an arduous task. The group envisioned a backbone main structure - walkway route - anchored to the coastline through small ‘pavilions’, which have different functions. They are open to new needs and uses, always following the advances and retreats of the shoreline and the ripples of water of the river, close to the river’s mouth, resisting weather and climate. There are small pavilions very easy to set up and disassemble. These are drawn as structures with cylindrical shapes, with different dimensions that can be designed and modified to be adaptable to different places, climates, sizes, functions, etc. Structures that can be anchored and fixed on land, or floating on the water. Cork is the chosen materiality, because of its characteristics as: having low impact, sustainable, economic, water resistant, traditional and natural. This system seeks to regenerate the landscape and Trafaria’s surroundings. A path not only to be used by those who live in these places, but also trying to attract new visitors, as well as future residents.

ART COLLECTOR

HOUSE 2012 . MANTUA

aires mateus

A House for an art collector. In the beautiful Bosco della Fontana in Mantua, Brescia, our client, an Art Colector, asked us to create a project that would be at the same time his house and an art gallery. The plan of this Bosco itÂ´s a constellation of points connected by a path hidden among old trees. This collector has these three master pieces: Van Eyck (Self-portrait), MarkRothko (Center panel for tryptich, Rothko Chapel, Houston 1966 ) and Richard Serra (Cycle). Three contemporary pieces, completely different in size and meaning. For that each one have its own space, but they are connected. So, the house-gallery has only one door. But to different spaces: one to live and the other to visit. 3 gallery spaces. Two inside spaces to meditate and for each piece (Rothko and Van Eyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painting) and a little piazza in the centre where there is the sculpture of Richard Serra. People can only enter with the authorization of the owner, although from the outside everyone can have a glimpse to the sculpture.

URBAN INTERVENTIONS

O b servatory 2014 . LISBON

“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” Arthur Conan Doyle This urban public intervention is in an area that lost almost all its inhabitants but at night has a lot of people passing through. The same place but with two different ways to be used. It is a very central square, near the river, a metro\train station, the harbour, restaurants, bars and discos. Nevertheless it is still a forgotten place. Invisible for the majority of people. This was the second intervention of this group of friends. We wanted to draw attention to this beautiful place, to its history and genius loci. For that reason, we decided to create one other centre in this square and occupy it with an open box. Everyone could enter and look at some binoculars that zoom in some of the interesting points in this little square. People have to stop for a moment and look to things they had never looked before, discovering at the same time new aspects of this place.

terra amada project

4 x GRANARIES 2014 . VISEU

The Project Terra Amada was born in 2013 in the Catholic University in Viseu, Portugal with the Architect Professor Ana Pinho. This year was the second edition of the project. It lasts 1 month but it takes one year to prepare. The main idea is to choose a small village every year, analyse its inhabitantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs and requalify it with the help and support of construction\material companies of the region and municipal chambers. The workers are architecture and engineering students from all over the world that volunteer themselves to learn the traditional techniques supervised by experts of each area: carpenters, contractors, masons, etc. This village received 11 projects. Public spaces, 2 houses, one bathroom, conservation of a water mill, 4 granaries (conservation and rebuild), a forge, a cheese factory/shop, water tanks as well as water and sanitation systems for all the houses.

My contribution to this project as an organization staff, was to help in a team to requalify 4 granaries. They have different degrees according to the state of conservation of each granary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in some cases the needs are only of conservation and restoration and in others include the full reconstruction of the upper parts. Two of them only needed to be requalified, painted, cleaned, nevertheless the other two only had its basement, so they were rebuilt by 2 carpenters and many volunteers. Until now, the granaries played an important role in these villages. They were used as a place to store the cereals from one year to the other. These buildings represent what is the true identity of this people, places and traditions. Because of this they are part of our architectural, economic, social and cultural heritage. Granaries are still in regular use by a lot of people that live in these villages as well as in this one, Vale de Papas.

DESIGN

Design is one of my areas of interest. All areas of design that explore the potential of ideas and concepts as well as the creation of new environments. Designing implies thinking out of the box, in multiple different perspectives. The process of planning, creating, developing, configurating, designing and making inspires me as an architect. From sailors, to carpinters and then architects, these way of thinking has everything related with design. Solving problems and finding strategies, technicaly and creatively, to answer people’s needs and requests. Graphic design, object design, insdustrial design, fashion... “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. Leonardo da Vinci “Design is a formal response to a strategic question”. Mariona Lopez “Less is more”. Ludwing Mies van der Rohe

NEW RACE OF USER 2013 . 2014

To open a Pandora’s Box... The SNBA - Beaux Art National Society in Lisbon, asked 10 chosen young designers and 10 young architects to reinterpret art pieces from young artist from the Past. I chose a drawing from the young Portuguese architect, now with 54 years old, José Carlos Lopes Morgado. He was completely unknown for me, nevertheless this drawing inspired and make me rethink the role of architecture, its users and uses of today. The design piece, which I create, was inspired in one drawing from a ‘Prototype unifamily house’ created and imagined in the youth of this Portuguese architect. Described as an ‘utopic central pyramidal place with esoteric conception and a halo of light’, with ‘virtual client and no specific location’, didn’t exist until now. It was also a place with ‘no doors nor windows’, inaccessible and that was never built. I see this as a Pandora box, half-open where each of us can find or loose ourselves in the reflection. I propose to build a model of this house that can be used in a different way. Now it’s a mirror, still inaccessible but where everyone can find and search which kind of user do we want to be as well as in which places we want to live in. For that I opened four little windows to peek into the box.

GRAPHIC DESIGN 2008 . 2014

During these years I worked many times as a graphic designer. Creating layouts and different ways to communicate with all types of public. Successful and efficient comunication are always my main goals while working with letters, phrases, texts and images. These are some of the works that I developed, such as books, flyers, posters, presentations, oral communications, leaflets, conceptual exhibitions, urban interventions, models, pieces of art, etc. In each one of these projects, I dedicated myself 100 percent. I have learnt a lot and I hope I can continue doing and experimenting new ways of expressing my ideas and believes.

photography

Photography is one of my passions. Everyone has a personal view of the world. Each of us see the same things, same places, same colours but in a million different ways. This is the richness of photography: make others discover new places and dreams they have never had before. Here i have some of my photos. They can be about architecture, nature, people, landscape... Everyone can follow my photos at : http://instagram.com/smallbox_bigbox “ Instagram of Liliana Nóbrega - is a very atmospheric and kaleidoscope view of places, nature, people, moments and everything that happens around us, and what we miss considering it daily routine. A romantic journey of an artistic soul, gentle and thoughtful. Take a fresh look at the everyday things and discover places you have never seen!” Architect Orhan Abbasov, Azerbeijan
