IN 300 WORDS. Teo Butenas Santos is a brazilian undergraduate Architecture and Urbanism student at University of São Paulo. During 2017 and 2018 he took part in an exchange program at the Technische Universität München, in Germany, for which he received scholarship for academic merit, ranking first. He studied at Master level for a year, during which he had the opportunity to work on projects alongside renowned architects such as Francis Kéré. In early 2019 he worked with Mariana Vilela on the “Access for All” exhibition for the Architekturmuseum der TUM - currently exhibited at the AIA in New York - after being appointed by Prof. Daniel Talesnik of the TU München. After the three-months experience, he joined the team of Grupo SP Arquitetos, where he worked on all development phases for a variety of designs. In October of 2019 he moved again to Germany, to start working at the german-branch of the international office Henning Larsen Architects. There he joined the Concept Design/ Competition Team, where he had the oportunity to design from scratch new large-scale buildings (over 10.000 m²) for the european market. Among his achievements are his research work on urban design, published in the annals of the 26th SIICUSP; being nominated for the only undergraduate position in the delegation that, in 2016, represented Brazil at the BRICS+ City Lab II international colloquium , in Moscow; receiving the IAB-SP Prize in 2019; and having two of his designs published: ‘Habita Vergueiro’ on the international portal Rethinking The Future.com, in 2018, and ‘Czech Embassy in Addis Abeba’ on Archdaily BR, after becoming a Finalist in the International Competition Inspireli Awards, in 2019. He is interested in Architecture and Urban Design - especially the relation between both - as well as traveling (having lived in three countries and visited over 30), photography, scenic and visual arts, circus and piano.

The districts of Liberdade, Vila Mariana and Bela Vista compile, not only substantial density, but also one of the biggest concentrations of universities in SĂŁo Paulo. This feature, added to the transport infrastructure of the region - metropolitan arteries and high-capacity transport system - grants to the site strategic metropolitan importance. Therefore, the choice for Student Housing - as proposed by the architects - becomes a necessary response, an adaptation of the architectural program to the social and urban challenges present in the region.

HOUSING MODULARITY

The housing model is built on the duality between the collective and the individual, the public and the private: a repeatable modular system where each module contains both collective and private uses. When replicated, the modules create the horizontal circulations that, more than granting access to the housing unities, stimulate meetings and exchange. They are, at the same time, passage and permanence, street and living room. The private balconies, turned to Vergueiro and Apeninos streets, enjoy privileged views and more privacy.

URBAN FLUVIAL PORT Passenger Transport Fluvial Port - Urban Infrastructure Alvarenga Road, Sete Praias, São Paulo, Brazil Co-authorship Ana Carolina Batista; Bruna Teixeira Oriented by Milton Braga 2015
Inserted in the Metropolitan Waterway Ring of the Greater São Paulo initiative - that aims for a network of navigable canals, adding up to 170km (105 miles) of urban waterways - the Port seeks to integrate the existing Road Transport System (mainly the Metro-Bus Corridor that follows Alvarenga Road) with the new Waterway Transport System. It rests on the left margin of PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION
the Billings reservoir, the largest artificial water-body in the metropolitan region. The project tackles the problem of intermodal transposition in the most simple and powerful way: a single and elegant line that bridges over the bus-station on Alvarenga Rd., providing cover and connecting the two water-bodies, north and south from the highway. Its linearity is also expressed in the horizontal development of the building, which follows a rhythm, expressing certain musicality thanks to the specific modulation of the pillars that creates increasing spans as it approaches the boarding platform of the Port, arriving at an apex of 72m. The metal truss, main facade element of the building, shares this rhythm, given its structural height also increases as the efforts become greater. This brings to the facade the perception of the forces acting in each section of the building. Although under great structural efforts, the project values lightness, as the slender building juts out over the water, in a great cantilever.

Opening to Copacabana beach, the project aims for creating a fluid and integrated space. Designed to stand during the period of the Games, Infopoint Rio 2016 is built out of prefabricated parts, guaranteeing rational use of environmental resources and allowing its reuse and re-adaptation to new uses. The use of prefabricated metal structure ensures to Infopoint Rio 2016 the intrinsic benefits of ephemeral architecture: structural lightness and ease of assembly and disassembly, as well as compatibility with complementary prefabricated materials, such as sealing panels, ceilings and floors. The materiality of Infopoint Rio 2016’s facade seeks to establish links with brazilian land and culture. The use of genuinely Brazilian wood planks of five different species exalt the rich local biodiversity, as well as symbolize the ethnic diversity of the country. The colors, referring to the visual identity of the Rio 2016 brand, convey the receptivity and joy of the Brazilian people.

RESEARCH CENTER // MALI Agricultural Development Research Center RN5, Siby, Koulikoro Region, Mali, Africa Co-authorship Ema Pečenković Oriented by Francis Kéré 2019
Mali is a west-african country where the main economic activity is farming: over 80% of the population works directly or indirectly in agriculture. Most of the farmable land is in the southtern part of the country, where the rural commune of Siby is located, 50 km from the capital, Bamako. The country is set on the Sahel region, on the edge of the Sahara Desert. With the recent climate changes worldwide, desertification is increasing in the Sahel and every year more farmable land turns arid. In order to slow down this process and guarantee the economical living conditions for the population, agriculture and how it is practiced must be revised. New, less harming to the soil and more efficient methods of productions are to be introduced, as well as more resistent crops. With this in mind, and following the principles set by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO-UN) and its Farmer Field School iniciative - developed in Southeast Asia and recently introduced to Africa - the project proposes an architectural system to support agricultural development research in sub-saharan áreas. It consists of a modular system, easily adaptable - so it could be used in many different areas and countries - and expandable so it can start being used in short time and then expand as financial resorces are made available. Given the many chalenges presented by building conditions in the region - lack of material, equipment and specialized work-force - the project is tought around taking advantage of local available resources and construction without the need of specialists or expensive equipment. Also, to take the most out of the built area, the system is design to collect rain-water and store it in large “wells” for use in the fieds during the harsh dry season.

The modular system is composed of two independent structures: the roofs and the walls. The roofing structure, made out of metal profiles and corrugated plates lays down the guidelines for the wall placement, as well as providing shaddow and protection from the rain. It is tought to be built before the walls, so the construction work can proceed even during the rainy season and under the hot sun. This structure is designed in two modules, a bigger one (Module A) - that contains most of the program and also the larger open areas, and a smaller one (Module B) - used

in the fields. Both modules can be added as needed. The use of courtains associated with the roofing structure can create addaptable, shadded open-areas, very usefull in the hot climate. The walls are to be built out of clay brick, a traditional building material largely available in the region. They determine the enclosed spaces and can be posteriorly added to create new rooms, densifying the built area - as shown bellow. The combination of this two systems allows for adaptability to the terrain, needs and financial resources of each region.

The roof is supported independently of the walls. This structural system is composed of metal pillars - created by the combination of smaller profiles available in the region -, beams, and trusses - welded out of rebars. Although bigger and more complex steel profiles are not widely available, there is no lack for skilled welders in Mali.
2
Given the high cost of glass and its transportation, the project opts for metal tilting windows, that are cheaper, more resistant and allows for constant ventilation.
3
The ceiling of enclosed rooms is created by associating clay bricks and rebars, supported by the concrete beams that tops the self-bearing walls. Although not water-proof, this simple and cheap method allows for the scape of hot air while still being protected by the metal roof.
4
The corrugated plates are not only cheap and available but also can bear large spans, minimizing the need of structural beams. Even though they get hot in the sun, their placemente distanced from the top of the walls allows for a constant flow of air between the trusses that disperse the heat, isolating the users from it.
5
The central areas between the rooms are always open to the air-flow, allowing for openings in the walls facing this side to create a chimney effect - passive ventilation -, pulling hot air out of the rooms.
