T HE ARCH I T E C T ’ S R O L E DESIGING M OZ AM BICAN CIT IES Maputo City Study-Case

As we are all aware of, the urbanization process is happening faster than any of us could expect, the population is growing in larger number and cities are rapidly becoming megacities. This project will take a look at the city development process in an african city that by taking part in this race to urbanization and growth, is losing track on the quality of space it is creating. What could one do when the desire to change is not the only factor that matters?

When politics, priorities and resources start to define the spaces around us. How far can one go to make sure that the cities basic needs are accessible to all citizens and changes their quality of life? I believe it’s the architects role to make sure that correct decision are being made in relation to the built structure and environment. To make sure that site’s potentials are explored and to guarantee resilience and quality of life.

As architects, when certain challenges are presented in relation to the site, we need to work as mediators, be more participative, go back to old approaches, get to know the community and their specific needs. Simple guides can help a lot, and that’s all these expansion areas need. Eveyone wants to be apart of the big urban structure, each with their own character and qualities, so we need to provide it.

No matter the process used there are always Missing Layers

- No quality of life on the streets - No form of apropriation - No community sense - Lack of Services - No waste managemnt system - No stormwater system - Weak transport system - Lack of Diversity in uses and spaces

- Informality being the big rescuers - Many people with skills good enough to allow them to provide (artesians, carpenteers, builders, iron workers, handyworkers, bakers, cookers)

People are willing to Work Together

- Making sure they have all the basic services they might need - They show willingness to participate - They are creative and willing to try

INTERNSHIP - Full Year 2017 AIX Arkitekter Stockholm, Sweden

Departments worked at: City Planning and Housing

Supervisors: Mikael Uppling Lisa Wikstrรถm Fredrik Ekerhult

During the entire year of 2017, I had the opportunity to do an internship at AIX Arkitekter. I worked mostly in the city planning and housing department, my own choice, for being the field I am most interested in. I learned a lot, from using the latest tools for city planning to understanding more about how this subject works in Sweden. I can definitely say that at the end I gained a lot of knowledge and confidence. I can easily use tools such as Revit, Autocad and Adobe Family to produce all the needed materials to successfully express my ideas on my design.

THE C E N T R A L ’ S P E OPL E DIST RICT OF T IANJ IN A new approach to chinese contemporary neighborhoods

Imagine a Chinese district that does not follow the existing urban development trend. Imagine a neighbourhood where as a local you can easily relate to the styles, the culture and the habits. Imagine a new Chinese development that is as active and happy as the former, destroyed in order to improve. That’s the Central People’s District of Tianjin. The design that plays with trends, breaking them, and exploring how to make it better. Why create a

new business district, when you can create a very diverse and active district? My design aims on focusing mainly on the people, the life in between and ll the interesting things that can happen when you mix: demographics, tenure, activities and uses. Chinese cities needs more of that, instead of erasing every little settlement that still contains these qualities and simply replacing it with cold and massive blocks that do not in-

vite any sort of social interactions. The Central People’s District of Tianjin wants to experiment on how it would be to keep up with the fast urbanization trend and not lose important qualities and being able to take care and give back to the environment.

The Moss Center got my attention for the cultural, industrial and historical heritage.

It was curious to understand how even with all this qualities it was still a dead city center. So the concenpt for the project was to create strategies that would help activate this streets.

M O S S AT I L EVEL Looking at the city center at eye level

I chose to work with the city center because it has the most interesting facts and urban issues, and it was interesting for me to question why with all this qualities it still has such a dead urban life. Moss is a car driven city, it has been since the industrial times, but that needs to change. It has a lot of parking lots around the area, almost no activities on the ground floor and very few green spaces.

My strategy has mainly to do with change of priorities; I want to create a more walkable, healthier, safer and active city center. The idea is to remove most of the parking lots and activate existing public spaces that are not being used, define the areas to be redeveloped, and since we will be removing buildings and parking spaces, take advantage of that and create new blue corridors and connect the city to the

water, improving urban health. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be opening the facades to better stimulate the pedestrian life and bring new typologies to the city, to help with the activation. The activated pedestrian streets will have more diversity and activities better connecting people to the great qualities of Moss.

N O I MPACT L OOP Towards a Sustainable Campus

The present design, the NO IMPACT LOOP, aims to create a new urban experience in Lund, under the sustainability subject, dealing with the urban waste management system. The design is based on a group of flexible dewlings attached to this loop of activities, such as, sports and social facilities all over it, to

encourage the activation of the campus outside the school hours, and to that was added the waste management aspect. Imagine a community that takes care of the waste, with composting gardens, anaeorobic plant, close to the nature, closer to humanity, that is the comunity this design aims to create.

The new LTH Campus will work on â&#x20AC;&#x153;self sufficiencyâ&#x20AC;? concept, where energy is harvested and created in different ways. And that will happen with the help of the users, the LTH CAMPUS COMMUNITY.

M A R R A C U E N E M AST ER PL AN ST RAT EGY A smart strategy for the new development

This project main objective was to analise the growth that the prvince of Maputo was having, with the big projects around it and the ring road being built to connect one end of the city with the other.

sive sprawl in the city and it’s surroundings the city can only grow outside the existing borders. My opinion is that the new growth poles that the ring road will create will be the starting points of the new cities, or the potential sites, if we are looking for a place to develop a small city.

Being Marracuene currently used as a strong corridor and located at the end of the ring road, this small village has the potential to become one of the next great cities of Maputo.

My analysis show that with the mas55

Located on a strategical geographical site, close to water bodies and important roads that connect the area trough south and north.

There are a lot of important nodes surrounding the site, from touristic nodes to governamental nodes. All of thes define the number of settlemnts formed aroung it. Making this area even more accessible and full of opportunities.

All the settlements marked use the national road that passes along the site, no matter where you inted to go, you will always pass the villa.

Using the triangulation strategy for planning settlements i tried to study according with each node potentialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what would be the potentials for growth in each area.

After that i decided to learn about the use of the land so i could make the right decision about where the growth could be spread around.

Chosen direction for the srpawl, after all the studies.

M A R R A C U E N E URBAN DESIGN Bringing back the identity to define the new urban design

Having located the potential pole for the new city growth, there was a need to porvide this area with basic services to answer the bid development that the village will suffer. The design chosen was inspired on a local tree well know in the country and around the village, the Chanfuta tree, scientificaly known as Efizelia.

The service porvided for this part of the village where : restaurant, library, local market, open auditorium and local farming site. This was a group project, and the part i wasin charge of designing was the restaurant and the local market.

I was inpired by the shape of the seeds of the tree fruits for the restaurant and the shape of the flowers for the market. Goals to achieve: organic form of occupation, use of local material and community management.

THE RESTAURANTS

Since the restaurant was to be used by the local community as a form of increasing their income, i decided to create a kitchen with private and shared patio all organized around a circle. The design is inspired in the community kind of living, sharing spaces, sharing moments and versatility of the food that could be made in the space.

Using local materials to create the sand stock brick, this project was designed to be made by the community encouraging them to keep the community spirit alive and to decrease the building cost of the project. To this project, groups of people would be capacitated to buld the restaurants and also add the skill to their work.

Goals to achieve: Contribute to the community spirit, employ people, add skills to their work, decrease the cost of the construction and re-use of the local techniques with modern concepts.

THE MARKET

The concept was to create a organic shape for the structure and practicabilaty for the construction. Here the materials to use where entirely conceived locally and easy to build.

perfect height to guarantee enough air circulation and in some parts of the roof zinc plates are alternated for plastic transparent plates for easy light penetration.

The roofing structure is built to collect and re-direct the water to container for posterior use by the local users of the market. The design structure has the

Customised vertical panels where also design, inspired by the detailed scheme that the section of the Efizelia trunk can generate.

Goals to achieve: organic inspired structure, re-use of natural resources, natural lighthing and ventilation, pre-fabricated structure design for easy assembly.
