CURRICULUMVItAE EUROPASS MODEL
this portfolio is the collection of the most representative and significant work I've developed in the past few years since I first endorsed in FAUP as an architecture student. the displayed elements were selected with the aim of being both representative of my per-sonal work and of covering a wide variety of fields of knowledge within the vast discipline that is Architecure.
I chose them so they could convey my vi-sion that architecture is, as the etymology of its name indicates, a construction. the first, the last, the ultimate construction, made out of so many things, so much accumulated knowl-edge, so many corrections, steps back, regrets and excitments, finding its motivations in such a broad array of facts and events that we are taken aback by its importance and inevitability in human life.
therefore, I would want it to be seen as a storyteller of a long and still going on learn-ing process, a search, swinging between extremes of a balance. It pursuits an equilibrium between body and mind, thinking and drawing, tradition and innovation, beliefs and restraints, hopes and self-limitations, serving and performing, and, ultimately and more radically, between Man-kind and Nature.

GLASS PRISON NEw FORMS OF ISOLAtION IN tHE PACIFIC
the AC-CA competition for a prison in a Pacific Ocean oil platform asked for a building that proposed new concepts of imprisonment. Our approach tries to use the unique con-dition of being surrounded by the the sea, in-tegrating the changing sea water level to create constant changes the ambience of the prison, and contributing to the stages of rehabilitation of the prisioner, as he moves up the building. the cell floor intends to create a Reflection feel-ing; the common spaces floor above it aims for the Restoration of social practices and the roof floor tries to extrapolate the blunt contact with the outside space and this extreme enviro-ment into a Revelation. On the outside, the intention is to cre-ate the image of a floating slab close to the water, so the glass box hanging from it is very reflective, all of it imitating the horizontal line of the horizon in a very pure and elemental form.
February 2013 . [AC-CA] - “[PACIFIC] New Ocean Platform Prison” . developed with: Márcio Rodrigues and tiago Ribeiro
the Limhamn Cementa site, situated on the southwest of Malmö, had been abandoned for ap-proximately 30 years and became in need of clev-er and integrated strategies to occupy it and preserve it. Its biggest potentials are the condition of being on the particular point of the road to Malmö when it turns west to meet the coast and is intersected by the Limhamn road from the southwest, and the very unique spacial qualities of the site: varying interesting elements and proportions, shaping the different characters of the spaces: inside the silos - between the silos - over the silos. towers and Bridges aims to use those fea-tures as the core material for intervention, de-vising a strategy that activates a whole spacial system, that can be used as a museum for the extinct cement factory.

the Learning Center in Porto was intended to be a built platform for the meeting of people and to offer them very different cultural, ar-tistic, and studying spaces, with tendentially free use. Althought the program is a problem in itself, the biggest challenge was to design this building in a massively steep terrain, with very few flat platforms, while keeping it connect-ed to the city, easily accessible, creating a dialog with the building just north of Alvaro Siza’s Faculty of Architecture and maintaining priveledged views to the river and its mouth. the idea is to do it inspired in a swiss army knife, with a central body that sustains all of its different utilitiesand allows them to pop out and be useful and enjoyable.

the challenge was to develop a collective housing building from a previously also self designed urban plan, and to do it from general idea to construction detailing, with real market product choice, and to coordinate the ventila-tion, water and sanitary systems. the main focus was, however, the quality and innovation of the interior housing spaces. the building is part of a group of build-ings orthogonal to the street, with the south facade facing a park. this motivates the idea for designing it with two different access systems. One with galleries with two story households, facing the courtyards between buildings; and one with a vertical elevator access to all the 1 floor apartments, looking towards the park. the buildings are designed as old ship-wrecks, rusty, incomplete, but still floating, upside down, over a common transversal space, allowing people to dwell inside them and walk beneath them.

As a first try out into collective housing design, the idea was to experiment with distri-bution systems in a F-shaped building, allowing for all of the possible situations in a regular building form to be included in the same piece. this was supposed to be done using a standard module design that is assembled and adapted to the exceptional situations. My solution uses a direct access system from the public space into each of the 3 apart-ments, even though they are all piled up in 3 different floors. Nevertheless, a central core of staircases and toilets is maintained to keep a general identity in the space organization in every apartment. the facade is designed trying to keep a unity of the building while presenting a lot of volumetrical variation. the volumetric variation and permeability of the facade are also impor-tant, allowing public access to the inviting courtyard space.

the National Art Gallery area in Beijing is a study case for the conflicts existing in the city with the new construction, happening at full speed, making the old beijing courtyard houses disappear, with great loss of architec-tural and cultural heritance. these courtyard houses, however, are largely overbuilt, overcrowded and have poor hy-giene conditions. Sometimes, they house over 30 families in spaces conceived for just one. these built contrasts have a social cor-respondance. the population in the old areas has little economical power and social visibility. they are hidden from the large framewire of av-enues dictating the pace of the traffic jams in Beijing. Meetin’theCity tries to coordinate all these different built and social structures cre-ating connectors: opening spaces where streets meet and transforming them into small platforms of productivity and communication. they aim to promote smooth scale transitions in the con-trasts of the urban fabric, and give visibility to the local populations, so they can be seen and become active in the city’s life, economi-cally, socially and environmentally. they will then start to be regarded as essential to the city, a non-removable part of the urban ecosys-tem and will be, therefore, preserved.

Hand drawing is a very important part of my education in FAUP, maybe the most impor-tant. the use of drawing to visualize spaces, to transform them, to let your ideas out. All in all, to help you think about architecture. But to be able to draw you need skills, that are only adquired with a lot of practice and learning from reality. these are some examples of the drawings I produced during lessons in the 1st years, for drawing course. they are of great importance to me be-cause drawing, and to develop an idea through drawing is one of the greatest sources of pleas-ure I have while working with architecture.

the process of creating a language through image making is one that can comprehend inumer-ous approaches and styles. the aim is to be able to be versatile and adapt the communication process and language to the main idea of each project. It is, in fact, part of the very archi-tectural idea. to develop a visual concept for our pro-jects through hand drawing, what better than to study and copy drawings from great architects and artists? the idea is to reach as many different languages and techniques as possible, giving one instruments to develop a communication in which-ever style he pleases.
