SUBJECT: INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP OF URBAN DESIGN [TEAM WORK]

THE PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED FOR AN INTERNATIONALWORKSHOP, REALIZED IN LONDRINA-BRAZIL 2009. THE ADVISERS WERE JAN B. ZWIEJSKI (UNIVERSITÉLAVAL), JORGE DANIEL DE MELO MOURA AND MILENAKANASHIRO (UEL).THE PURPOSE WAS TO CONNECT THE NEIGHBORHOODGLEBA PALHANO WITH THE WEST NEIGHBORHOOD, THELAKE AND THE PRINCIPAL STREETS OF THE CITY.THE MAIN IDEA WAS TO ESTIMULATE THE TWO AXIS.

TOWARDS THE END OF THE RED AXIS THERE WAS A DETERIORATED AREA. THE PROJECT WAS A SPORT AREA FOR THE COMMUNITY.

A SCULPTURE GARDEN AND A GREEK THEATER WERE PUT FORWARD AT THE EMPTY AREA IN THE END OF THE GREEN AXIS.

ON THE GREEN AXIS, AS THE PRIMARY ONE, THE INTENTION WAS TO PROPOSE A COMMERCIAL AREA THAT COULD ATTRACT PEOPLE.

SUBJECT: PROJECT III

THE DOUGH FROM THE PIZZA WAS CREATED BY THE EGYPTIANS AND THE IDEA OF THIS DISH WAS DEVELOPED BY THE ITALIANS. THE FIRST AND PRINCIPAL THOUGHT WAS TO INITIATE THE PROJECT WITH STRUCTURES SUCH AS THE ARCHED ROOF, WHICH WAS USED BY THE EGYPTIANS TO BUILD THEIR HOUSES WITH THE ADOBE BRICK. THE MOST NATURAL CURVE IS THE ONE THAT IS DRAWN NEAR THE PARABLE.

THE ENVIRONMENT IS, ON EAST, A BIG AVENUE WITH TALL BUILDINGS AND A VALLEY WITH SEVERAL TREES ON WEST. THE STRUCTURE STARTS ON EAST WITH NINE BEAMS ON THE TOP OF SEVEN PORTICOS AND FINALIZES ON WEST WITH CURVED BEAMS. EACH BEAM HAS A DIFFERENT CURVATURE IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE PARABLE SHAPE.

THE BUILDING SITE WAS CUT SO THE FIRST FLOOR IS HALF BURIED. THAT AREA WILL BE USED FOR CUSTOMER PARKING AND FOOD RECEPTION.

MADE OF WOOD FRAMES WITH DOUBLE-LAYER COATING WALLS THAT PROVIDES THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE, THE BUILDING SYSTEM OF THE HOUSEIS SELF-SUPPORTING IN CAPTURATION AND TREATMENTOF WATER BY THE GREENROOF. BESIDES, IT APPLIES A NEW TECHNOLOGY TO GENERATE EFFICIENT SOLAR ENERGY IN BRAZIL DUE TO THE ABUNDANCE OF SUNLIGHT.THE HOUSE ACCOMMODATES FOUR PEOPLE AND IT HAS 40 M². THE FURNITURE CAN BE PUT INSIDE WARDROBES IN ORDER TO SAVE SPACE, BECAUSE OF THE SMALL PLAN. THE VISION OF THE PROJECT IS TO ACHIEVE AN OPEN SPACE THAT PROVIDES FREEDOM FOR THE OCCUPANTS.

SUBJECT: BULDINGS TECNIQUE

THE CONCEPT OF THE HOUSE WAS TO BUILD ANINTEGRATED NEIGHBOURHOOD. THE HOUSES ARE ONE-SIDE GEMINATED AND IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH TWO HOUSES THERE IS A YARD. THE SOUTH HAS A RETAINING WALL MADE OF USED TYRES.PEOPLE CAN WALK THROUGH THE YARD, ON SIDEWALKS IN BETWEEN HOUSES, ON THE GREEN ROOFS AND EVEN BETWEEN THEM, ON THE FOOTBRIDGES.

LOTS division PLAN

SUBJECT: URBANISM III

ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF LAND DIVISION, THE DIVISION INTO LOTS MAKES THE AMPLE SPACE POSSIBLE LIKE A NET OF ROADS TO CARS AND PEDESTRIANS, AND AMPLE SPACE OF EXISTING FOREST PRESERVATION, AS A SIGNIFICANT LEISURE AREA. THE POSSIBLE PATHS CREATE A PLOT OF PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES THAT ALLOW THE ORDERLY DISPLACEMENT AND ORTHOGONAL FLOW IN ALL DIRECTIONS. THE BLOCKS ARE DISTRIBUTED INTO RECTANGLES WHICH HAVE EACH LOT FACING BOTH STREETS, PROVIDING THE QUALITY OF THE PROPOSED SPACE. ONE CAN PROPOSE 654DWELLINGS IN AN AREA OF 283386.5 M².

SUBJECT: URBANISM III

THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF AN HISTORIC BUILDING: THE ANTIQUE TRAIN STATION, WHICH IS LONDRINA'S HISTORIC MUSEUM. THE PURPOSE OF THE DESIGN WAS TO BLEND THE PROJECT WITH THE NATURALLANDSCAPE SO IT DID NOT LESSENED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COLONIAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE MUSEUM. THE MAIN IDEA WAS TO RESTIMULATE THE COMMERCE FROM ALL TYPES OF PUBLIC SO THE PROJECT INSERTS AN OUTLET, WHICH IS DEVELOPED FROM EAST TO WEST IN THE BLOCK. THREE RESIDENCE BUILDINGS ARE PROPOSED IN PARALLEL TO MAINTAIN LIFE MOVEMENT DURING ALL DAY. A PARKING GARAGE IS OFFERED TO THE OUTLET AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BLOCK, IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE BUILDINGS.

REHABILITATION CENTER

SUBJECT: THESIS

REGARDING THE INCREASE OF ELDERLY WITH DEGENERATIVE DISEASES, THIS THESIS PROPOSES A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON DESIGNING A REHABILITATION CENTER FOR ALZHEIMER'S. THE VARIOS STAGES OF MEMORY DEGENERATION WERE CONTEMPLATED AND MATCHED WITH THE PROJECT'S PROGRAM, WHICH COMBINED FOUR HAMLETS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMMUNITY HISTORY OF THE AREA. THIS THESIS ALSO DISCUSSES THE POSSIBILITY TO UTILIZE THE FAMILIAR RECONIZABLE ETHNOGRAPHIC LANSDCAPE FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES, AS AT THIS CASE WAS STUDIED IN AN UKRANIAN COLONY AT THE STATE OF PARANA-BRAZIL. THE CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT WAS

CONCEIVED AFTER BUILDING AN INVENTORY WHICH REVEALED AN UKRANIAN EASTERN CHURCH AT THE PLACE. THE CHURCH WAS BUILT UNDER THE WEST-EAST AXIS, A SYMBOLIC CHARACTERISTIC FROM THE UKRANIAN IMMIGRANTS.
