CONCRETE PERMEABILITIES The proposed architectural complex located in the new center of São Paulo, in the midst of high profile architectural icons such as the Copan Building, Oscar Niemeyer, the Itália Building, Franz Heep and the Hilton Building, Mario Bardelli, prominent works the modernist movement in Brazil. In the space created underscores the importance of the city itself, creating spaces to stop, to being under shadow, to have fun and to have visuality to the surroundings. Noting that the neighborhood is very dense, it is perceived that these areas are better when there are the "empty", in other words, when there are no visual barriers between the observer and what is around you. Therefore, in this project, emptiness is not the remnant of designed elements, but is specifically designed beforehand to achieve consistent permeabilities to specific intentions for each space. To this end, in terms of volume, we sought the prevalence of horizontality in public areas. On the ground level, it does so from the delineated urban gap in the center of the cluster in which it incorporates the public sidewalk space and allows a visual and movement in the blocks covered in the project permeability. In elevated public square, exception place in the city, it is possible to grasp the enormity of the surrounding buildings and the scale of the urban center while enjoying the restaurant or bar.

VI COMPETITION OF CBCA FOR ARCHITECTURE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS SECOND PLACE IN COMPETITION Orientation: Professor Helena Ayoubi Team: Fabiana Imamura, Lucas Cortes, Vanessa Balbino
PUBLIC LIBRARY AND MULTIMEDIA RESOURCE CENTRE
The proposal was based on the conception of a project from a public library media center that intended to explore steel as a construction technique. The decision to use this material in the project design and structure was made after a thorough research on the matter was carried out. The technical basis of the competition also highlighted the need to consider the environment, the inclusion of the library in the urban context and how to best access it. The group proposed an intervention which took into consideration not only the new building design, but also the redevelopment of the entire block in order to suit the context of insertion of this new equipment. It should be placed in a way attract children, teenagers, adults, seniors and people with special needs. The party emerged from the design considerations of the steel construction technique, so as to use it in the fullness of its features, creating a cultural and educational reference in the neighborhood of Pirituba. One very important aim was also to preserve the visual environment of the library to be built and the existing technical school. There was a great ultimate intention to make each one of the premises match to each other in terms of appearance.

JEWISH COMPLEX
A
The exercise was proposed by a History class which asked students to design a religious temple accordingly to a client’s demand. Rather than thinking about aspects of performance and aesthetics of the building, it was essential to firstly understand the specific spatial issues of religion. Thus, we were challenged to propose a project that dealt with the principles of civil society, and urban dimension so that we would be able to constitute a cultural and religious expression that would meet the user’s expectations.

From the standpoint of form, the whole material is formed by a rough texture. When it comes to the synagogue, the materials used are thought in a way to establish an ongoing dialogue between light and shadow, transparency and opacity, indoors and outdoors.

UNIFESP Architectural project as a drawing of city
The campus project meets the students’ demands for housing and study premises as well as cultural and leisure facilities for the local community. To accomplish these requests, the pre-existing plateaus on the given tract of land were considered organizing elements of the architecture of the program and thus it was decided to minimally intervene on it. On the first plateau (bottom to top) are located cultural and leisure facilities. On the second one, academic buildings such as the administration headquarters. And on the third plateau, one can see the sports facilities. Beside the plateaus, the students’ lodgings are located in a way to offer a privileged view of the surroundings. The open spaces are designed as a system of free living and entertainment to the users of campus spaces. The buildings layout enables the existence of adequate sunlight, ventilation and also enhances the existing scenario of the campus region.
Area: 170 000 m² Location: Jacu-Pêssego Avenue, on the eastside of São Paulo City.

HABITACLE The exercise was to create an object based on the human scale. This object should provide the user with a spatial experience that differed from what surrounded it. The aim was to identify aspects of the language of design compatible with the technology used (cardboard). The design should consider the needs of a scheduled production and a stable structure, which should finally be developed in 3D as a tool for thinking and designing. Students were supposed to explore the relationship inside / outside through form, space and light. The developed volume consists of three modules constructed mainly of pentagons and squares (which makes mass production easier) that were united by a central support structure, which could be associated with different numbers of modules whose format could be pentagons, squares or other types. Each module is designed so that the user sitting inside it can wrap himself in different light manifestations (that may vary depending on the day time) that create an alive space.

MEGACITIES The theme of the exhibition is the urban sprawl of megacities. For this exhibit, I gathered photographs of Martin Roermes’s work " Metropolis “ as well as pictures of São Paulo that I took envisaging the same subject . The boards on which the photographs are exhibited are greater than the observers in order to provide visitors with the opportunity to dive into each photo, as they tell a story, a set of movements , a spectacle . The conceived steel structure that separates each piece of exhibition creates imaginary and private spaces that offer people the chance to focus their gaze . Moreover, the work contemplation is proposed in a intriguing and suggestive way . To achieve this aim, this work is shown in fragments of photographs on black backgrounds. Within the space narrated by photography, there is a series of stories . The visitor, then, curiously faces an environment that stimulates further, for the chance to wander between many pictures is seen as a something fluid and inviting.

MARCOS ACAYABA WORKSHOP MODELS AS A TOOL FOR DESIGN - 2014 Professors: Marcos Acayaba, Abílio Guerra, Marta Bogéa, Antonio Carlos Barossi, Yopanan Rebello. Team: FAUUSP: Bárbara Campelo, Lucas Cortes, Vanessa Balbino FAU Mackenzie: Fellipe Brandt, Luís Taboada Porto University: Sara Frazão
PAVILION OF SEVILLE – SAO PAULO (UNBUILT PROJECT) The aim of this workshop was to study the designing process of architect Marcos Acayaba by building the models of two projects originally presented in Architecture and Urbanism competitions. The two contests were the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture and the Pavilion of Seville (São Paulo) Competition - Concursos Museu Brasileiro da Escultura e Pavilhão de Sevilha (São Paulo). From original graphics, the projects were revisited by teams of architects. The team I took part in decided to study the design of the Pavilion of Seville. We built and presented this model. Because of the nature of the competition and due to the adopted scale, the project had some inaccuracies, as well as features that have not been detailed for its execution. In this sense, the study via drawings and models was important to promote the understanding of what was idealized. The detailed design for the execution of the presentation model was extremely helpful as well. Personally, this workshop was a great opportunity to improve my abilities and to increase my knowledge about architecture, which was a result not only of my own effort, but also of the interesting work in group and of the helpful dialogs with our professors and, of course, with the author of the project, Marcos Acayaba, who is a Brazilian reference for me.

HAND DRAWINGS
Above there are some sketches which I made in a summer vacation in the city of Rio de Janeiro. My mainly intention of that was to understand some aspects of the buildings (as well places) and also to practise the eye of the architect. The buildings present architects that I have as reference, for example the Ministério da Educação e Saúde Pública building which was designed by Lúcio Costa, Affonso Reidy, Carlos Leão, Jorge Moreira, Ernani Vasconcelos and Oscar Niemeyer and counted with the orientation of Le Corbusier, other important reference in my formation.
Passion Fruit Nowadays, in general, great architects are the ones who experiment new ways to project and to make architecture, such as Renzo Piano, Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas and Richard Rogers who are examples of reference for me as student. As far as I’m concerned the observation of nature is interesting, because from this knowledge it’s possible to learn about structures, volumes, colors, among other data, which inspires new ideas. Above, there are some drawings of an deeply analyze about passion fruit I elaborated in a University subject as a repertoire to creation an object.
vanessa balbino About me A self-determined person who likes learning for self-satisfaction, for professional purposes and to contribute to the solutions and needs of a diverse and multicultural society. Her greatest architectural interest is the design of spaces, the study of environmental comfort in buildings and the analysis of the relationship between buildings and cities. She estimates it all for she sees it as the best way to express herself in the world. Moreover, putting it into practice demands skills and qualities consistent to her field such as high interpersonal communication, creativity, proactivity, leadership and observation. She is now looking abroad to expand her knowledge on Architecture and Urbanism from different approaches. She has the intent of also knowing new places and new people and so that she will be able to share experiences.
