ART ETRUSCAN MUSEUM THE ROVATI FOUNDATION MUSEUM OF ETRUSCAN ART
The Rovati Foundation Museum of Etruscan Art will be installed in an old building. The design project starts with the idea of transformation and adaptation, with peculiar contrast between existent building and the new annexe, main exposition part of the museum. I participated actively in the conceptual and executive stage of the design project, creation of computational 3D as well as physical models. Digital manufacturing techniques were used in the process of prototyping the shape and are also intended for construction of the museum. Right images: MCA - Mario Cucinella Architects
The building program is divided in two parts: the historical the nineteenth-century palace that will receive a part of the collection and activities while the underground (of the building and garden) will receive another part of the collection. Such underground will be converted in a organic and soft shape, like shells, creating exposition ambiences.
A significant intervention is represented by the meticulous conservation and restoration of the main hall of the noble floor, designed to expose other objects of ancient art belonging to the foundation in a singular dialogue between ancient and present. The last intervention is present in the garden, located in the back of the property. It is a space, hidden from the front elevation of the street, a green area that will be turned to public use in which you can stay, talk, and socialize.

VERTICAL FARM OF PAULISTA AVENUE Awarded Design Project in the ArchiWorld Academy 2013-15 Competition
The vertical farm Paulista Avenue presents a proposal designed for the contemporary or near future. Initially conceived for a specific site, can be replicated in large urban centers in order to minimize the distance between the field and the city through cultivation of fruits and vegetables in a controlled environment inserted in urban areas.

Thus, it decreases the arising costs from transportation logistics as well as reduces the need for preservatives in foods since they can be quickly sold after harvest. The building originally thought to Paulista Avenue but with the possibility of being included in other city centers.
SITE LOCATION
Due to the importance of the site location, an avenue that is one of the main axes of the city, place of important architectonic buildings, the Vertical Farm must have its own identity expressed by your shape and the pattern of the facade. The voronoi pattern, beyond of creates an identity to the building, turn solid the design project concept.
The building concept is based on voronoi cells in order to obtain flexibility. According to the city where it is installed, these cells may be higher or lower. The parameters for scaling the cells can be the city, the population, amount and type of product consumed on average, etc. Each cell represents an use, so if the city needs more restaurants, can have more cells of restaurants.
Or, if the city consumes more vegetables than fruit, the fruit’s cell may be higher. Having defined these parameters, the building is designed to meet this specific need. In order to obtain a flexible result, each cell can change their use over time. Cities are a dynamic mechanisms in constant transformation and the building can follow these changes.

The building uses some sustainability techniques in order to minimize expenses with water and energy, making more efficient use of them. Energy cycles are used to capture all kinds of energy and inputs available as rain water and sunlight. The surface of the terrace as well as the covers have draining floors that capture rain water and store in a shell, located on the basement of the building. So, the water is pumped to irrigate the gardens. Photovoltaic panels installed on the roof capture sunlight. The energy captured can be used for general needs of the building. The building uses advances and retreats floor as a form of exposure or sun protection according to the need. It’s plans glass allows the entry of light needed for plant cultivation and creates a dialogue with the city: the facade showing outside the indoor function of the building.

LX BUILDING MIXED RESIDENTIAL/COMMERCIAL TOWER
The diversity of uses is the basis of LX Building, which seeks to integrate residential and commercial harmonically. From the different activities, promotes movement at different times creating spaces that opens to the street. On the ground floor, besides the two individuals access to the commercial and residential, there is a gallery square, creating an extension of the sidewalk and offering a new space for the city. The square gallery connects the building with the environment without barriers. The building’s floors are occupied by different residential typologies, ranging from one to three bedrooms. The comercial bloc is comprised of offices, a restaurant on the upper floors and a terrace bar. The last floor of the residential block consists of a communal terrace for residents of the building.

In urban void existing in Coimbra - Portugal, grows a building that stands out among the existing buildings while interacting with the landscape and surroundings, serving as a frame of historic architecture painted on its facade, by reflexes stamped on its facade composed by perforated aluminum plates, which connects the old with the new. The same facade, also composed of glass, confers permeability to building, connecting it to the city.

SOCIAL HOUSING BRASILIA - CODHAB COMPETITION
Modular social housing design project, to be applied in L-shaped lots in a satellite city of Brasilia. It seeks to create hybrid spaces between buildings and open spaces. A square open to the general public interconnects the buildings, also serving as a connection between neighbourhood streets.

THE MELTED CITY CAMPUS
design goals The Melted Architecture City Campus has a proposal of melting a traditional campus concept and dissolves it in the city. The traditional campus it’s characterized by sectorization, constructed and working separately from the city. In this proposal, the campus are inserted in the city as a way to integrate the events happening in the campus with the city and in the same way, integrate the city in the campus routine.
UYA STUDENTS COMPETITION - CHINA
LOCATION
The proposed campus architecture uses tree vacant buildings, in the Belo Horizonte downtown. The activities are distributed in the campus buildings and interconnected by bridges (knowledge bridges). In the avenue are located a transport station. The roof of the station is proposed as a public space, a linear park. That park also is connected with the campus by bridges (city - campus bridges). Inside of the buildings are located spaces opened to the city, working independently and together with the campus (hybrid spaces), creating links between the campus, the linear park and the city as a whole.
BRAZIL - MINAS GERAIS
The Belo Horizonte downtown, region characteristic by the high amount of vacant buildings and consequent generation of degraded landscape. At the same time it is the region with the greatest flow of people and vehicles, the part of the city better endowed with transport, shops and services infrastructure. The chosen downtown fragment has a large degradation and concentrates most of the vacant buildings. Needs of a catalyst that starts the renovation process and encourage the sprawl renovation process from the region. It can happen with initiatives that improve gradually the downtown landscape, value the potential of the vacant buildings and assign the social use for the properties. Creating a campus architecture in Belo Horizonte downtown as a catalyst element, its believe that the renovation can happen. And being a place of architectural education, a choice becomes even more strategic because students and professors can be involved izn this renovation.

HYBRID SPACES
By creating an integrated campus with the city, aims creating spaces inside the renovated buildings, open to general public and with activities of interest to campus students as much as the city as a whole. These spaces are: Renovated Building 01: Restaurant Renovated Building 02: City Library Renovated Building 03: City Auditorium
CONECTION BRIDGES The project concept is based on the connection of buildings to each other and with the city, indoor and outdoor activities. A central public space (linear park) used as an extension of campus architecture, and the campus architecture as an extension of the city. All melted and blended.
