PROJECTS 7
KINDERGARTEN JUร Tutor: Amando Candeira In collaboration with Marcus Vinicius 2015.2 Theme: Educational Architecture Location: Juatama, Quixadรก, Brazil
8
Juatama is a district of the city of Quixadá, Ceará, which village is located 18km from the municipal headquarters. Its origin goes back to the construction of a railway station called “body-line” or “south line”, built and inaugurated in 1891.
STUDY AREA The Juazeiro, or Juá, is a typical tree of Northeast Brazil. Its fruits are edible and used to make jellies. The abundance of the tree in the region and the presence of it on the study area motivated the creation of social proposals in the place from the existence
of the kindergarten, with the space being used for instruction regarding the production of Juá jelly, allowing greater participation of families in the children’s learning process, and local income movement.

10
The use of cobogรณ walls combined with the vegetation was used to create permeable windbreaks.
For this, a layout of buildings was used that resembles a railway line, seeking to rescue the origin of the city, where each building plays the role of a wagon.
The service and food buildings were placed at the east/northeast side to block the hot winds coming from that direction, providing the most pleasant climate in the children buildings, which are divided into Infant I (children 0 to 2 years old) and Infant II (children 2 to 5 years old), with the “Infant I” being closer to the sidewalk to
facilitate access of parents and children to the daycare. The main entrance leads to the administrative building, which has the Principal’s and Teacher’s Offices and the Infirmary. The food building has an open area to the cafeteria where children can eat outdoors.
The facades follow a homogeneous rhythm which strengthens the idea of being involved with the interior of the building, creating a strategic sense of protection and unification, while providing the connection between internal and external.

AESTHETIC HOSPITAL OF FORTALEZA Tutor: Cristina Romcy In collaboration with Mateus Xavier 2017.1 Theme: Hospitality Architecture Location: Fortaleza, Cearรก, Brazil
14
Located in Fortaleza’s downtown, the site is at the point where the city emerged, close to several historical buildings, such as the Fortress of Nossa Senhora de Assunção, the first city’s hospital and the oldest city’s park.
To preserve the historical quality of the region, it was decided to implement a building with neutral characteristics that work in harmony with the old buildings of the surroundings instead of dazzling them, with concerns about from the number of pavements to the choice of materials.

4. Elevation of the initial volumetry for the program
5. Central opening with pilotis for visual creation
6. Decrease of east side height to keep the view of the preserved building
8. Fixing of vertical wooden louvers to reduce the heat from the harsh sunlight
STUDY AREA
7. Opening of skylights for light and ventilation in internal circulations
15
As a sealing element, vertical wooden louvers were fixed to allow partial light to get inside the rooms, as well as hiding the existing windows in the building, contributing to a greater uniformity in the facade and ensuring privacy in the rooms. The vertical louvers made of wood, a typical material of the region, also allows the entrance and circulation of the air inside the rooms, allowing greater ventilation and internal comfort in a region of hot and humid climate.
From these guidelines, the topography was used to leave the entrance of the cars at the lowest level, while the pedestrian’s entrance is made by the highest level, with the arrangement of plateaus leading the pedestrian to the lowest level, if necessary.
On the ground floor, the patients’ entrance is located on the east side, where the ancient park is located, with the entrance of employees and the loading dock occurring on the opposite side, to the west.
The program of needs was designed from three guidelines: designing different environments which would keep pedestrians away from automobiles; create separate entries for patients and staff; provide different visuals from the existing topography.
The use of the plateaus also provides, along with the central access

IVO PITANGUY SQUARE Tutor: Maria Christina In collaboration with Mateus Xavier 2017.1 Theme: Landscape Architecture Location: Fortaleza, Cearรก, Brazil
Located on the site next to the land used for the Aesthetic Hospital of Fortaleza building, the Ivo Pitanguy Square was designed as a continuation of the existing landscaping in the hospital grounds, presenting similar elements that would
create a connection between the square and the building, such as the same kind of materials and vegetation, and similar pavement layout in both lands, encouraging the passer-by to go from one space to another instinctively.
STUDY AREA
It was used as a reference for the creation of the paths and permanence’s areas of the square the drawing of the Fortress of Nossa Senhora de Assunção near the site, taking advantage of the topography to create several plateaus of access by the different levels of the site.
21
The species used in the square are composed of plants originating in Brazil (oiti, carnauba and pau-ferro) or tropical climates (buxinho and brillantina), requiring little maintenance and adapting in a satisfactory way to the warm and humid climate of the region.
OITI (Licania tomentosa)
22
The materials used for the pavement layout of the square were cements of different shades for the creation of geometric drawings similar to the designed for the site of the Aesthetic Hospital.
BRILHANTINA (Pilea microphylla)
CARNAÚBA (Copernicia prunifera)
BUXINHO (Buxus sempervirens)
PAU-FERRO (Caesalpinia ferrea)
In addition to the pavement layout made with the different shades of cement, wooden floors were used to draw a similar format to the Fortress of Nossa Senhora de Assunção, also being a reference to the vertical wooden louvers that surrounds the hospital building.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION Tutor: Domingos Linheiro In collaboration with Marina Sampaio 2017.2 Theme: Cultural Architecture (Heritage) Location: Fortaleza, Cearรก, Brazil
Located in Benfica, one of the oldest districts in the city of Fortaleza, the Student Accommodation of the Federal University of Cearรก (UFC) serves low-income students from the interior of Cearรก and other states to study at the university.
UFC CAMPUS STUDY AREA
Benfica is a district characterized by its architectural and cultural plurality, bringing together buildings from different eras and accommodating several buildings of higher education.
2. Adoption of setback and height similar to the existing building
3. Decrease of the East side height, providing winds circulation to the rooms in the new building
Designed by the architect Ivan da Silva Brito between 1957 and 1966, the Student Accommodation is close to these buildings, with a capacity to attend 48 students in its 24 double rooms. It also has
reading and playrooms, auditorium, kitchen and balcony on its four floors. The building has a rhythm of solids and voids on its main facade. The back facade is marked with a cloth of cobogรณs in the third and fourth floors.
Based on the need to shelter a larger number of students in the Student Accommodation Program, it was proposed to create an annex building in an area associated with the existing one, functioning independently of it despite its connection.
1. Site Plan
4. Opening of the ground floor with pilotis for creating visuals between interior and exterior
5. Creation of connections between the two buildings by the ground floor and the upper floor
25
For the project of expansion of the already existing student accommodation, a similar setback as the one of the first building was adopted, promoting a sense of linearity between both buildings. A similarity of heights was also adopted between
both buildings since a new building with a higher height could overshadow the existing one. Another element in the existing building also incorporated into the new one was the opening of the ground floor with pilotis at the entrance
of the building, creating a collective space for students to use. However, it was also important to adopt elements which could discern one building from the other, avoiding the creation of a “historic false”. To create this
differentiation, different materials that could perform similar functions were used. Besides them, it was adopted the use of pillars with a quadrangular format in the intervention, which differ from the circular format present in the old building.
In addition to the pillars, it was used corten steel cobogós with a contemporary format which is distinguished from the conventional rectangular and circular formats present in the first building, made of brick and pottery.
Such cobogós were used in the facades for the entrance of lighting and ventilation in the corridors, with ribbon windows present in the collective areas on the first floor, alluding to the facades with windows in the rooms of game and studies of the old building.
The rooms in the new building have balconies facing north and west, with a view to the central courtyard used by the students of both buildings, promoting integration between the two spaces.
Besides the central courtyard, another artifice used to integrate the two buildings was the creation of walkways linking the back of the first building with the second one, both on the ground floor ant the first floor.

SHAPING STUDIES
TABLE LAMP “ALVAR AALTO” Tutor: Muriel Melo In collaboration with Marina Sampaio 2014.2
Inspired by the “Baker House Dormitory� of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Alvar Aalto table lamp brings together different elements of the project, from
02
parts of the floor plan to the frames of the building, in search of a volumetry which provides a satisfactory dispersion of lights in a room.
01
03 (01) The shape of the table lamp is inspired by a section of the ground floor of the building (02) The front and rear openings of the table lamp are inspired by the misaligned frames on the facades (03) Side openings of the table lamp are inspired by the wooden pieces existing inside the building

TABLE LAMP: ITALIANS PALLAZZI Tutor: Pedro Boaventura In collaboration with Marina Sampaio 2016.1
Palazzo Medici-Riccardi Michelozzo Firenze, Italy (1460)
During the renaissance, the rich bourgeois families lived in houses of great proportions. These houses were called pallazo.
The palazzi had as a characteristic feature the use of smaller cornices, which divided the floors, and a greater cornice serving as crowning of the building.
Furthermore, another characteristic of the palazzi is the presence of the cortiles, central courtyards inside the house which were surround by arcades.
These aspects served as a reference for the creation of a table lamp.
(01) Cornices working as base and crowning, with a simplified design, bringing a more modern configuration to the table lamp. (02) The height to the arc and its radius
are equal, respecting another Renaissance characteristic, the proportion. Moreover, the arcs are rotated at different angles, making the design more dynamic.
