Task: The main task was to design a single timber house, with no need of more than two rooms with the choice of the site.

Solution: To answer to these requires, was proposed a Light Timber Frame construction sys-tem, designing a house composed by two floors, where the funtions are organized by the use. Placed on the entry level we can find the collective areas as the kitchen, liv-ing room, terrace, on the lower level we will find the private divisions, composed by two rooms, bathroom, one private balcony, and one collective area that connects the access to the boat dock and to the secondary staircase up to the upper floor terrace.

Timber Frame construction system: - Reduced construction time - Reduced site labour - Construction in local Timber

- Reduced need of large machinery

CONSTRUCTION PHASES:

Task: The task was to create an architecture form with free program and choice of place; having as unique constraint insert itself in a Cube of 6 per 6 meters.

Solution: As solution was proposed a Sightseeing space, which is defined by a staircase com-posed by a closed path, having just precisely placed openings, which channels the views to specific points of the city.The construction makes the use of two materials, concrete and corten steel.

The object is deeply connected to the site, because itself is a result of the wish to frame the existing views of the place, on a spiral way, where the two entrances are aswell two exits. The place is a crossing point, a passageway, where everyone passes by but no one stops to take a look, the object doesn’t try to break that use and fuc-tion, but it complements instead, slowing down on a continuos but different path.

Task:The task of this design Course entitled “urban ontology” was to work over Malta with the goal of understanding the potencials of the urban forms.

Solution:As solution was given special attention to the capital Valleta, focusing mostly on the coastal edge and respective connections with the city.

Aspirations and Principal Themes: Aspirations and Principal Themes:

- Promotion of increased and more distributed pedestrian traffic- Development of business and places of attraction along coastal edge- Instillation of pride for residents to spur self-dynamic conservation- Provision of a better inhabitable environment via calming of urban centre- Generation of activities and uses for historic sites within the city- Increased accessibility- Reconnection of the two separated districts

THE VALLETA PROMENADE

The topography of Valletta’s coastal edge presents a variety of barriers which hinder connection to the city.

One of the aspirations for the coastal promenade is the activation of self-dynamic rejuvenation. With a considered relationship to the city via regular points of connection, it is expected that nearby areas of the city will flourish. Vertical connections are established with stairs and elevators. The route aesthetic is continued in the design of the elevator connections. The concrete element creates a opening in the fortifications to allow the path, which transforms into a lift, to verti-cally transport the pedestrian to the higher level.

Task:The task was to design an earthquake resistant compulsory school or secondary school that of-fers 24 regular classrooms and 8 special classrooms for 24 students each, (which equals a total of 576 students), as well as a cafeteria, a library, an administration, a media room, a gym, recreation areas indoors and outdoors, an event hall, and an exterior sports field.

Solution:To answer to those requests, I opted for a design with two main blocks that are connected by a third element, which consists of the entrance hall and the recess hall (that can also be used as an event hall), thus working as a central distributor between the two functionally different blocks: The west and the east wing. The main entrance is located centrally on the west wing and provides direct access to all the areas that an entering person – be it student, teacher or parent would primarly need, by work-ing with different levels: The administration and the teachers’ lounge can be found on the level of the entrance, whereas the recess hall and the cloakrooms are located half a story higher and lower respectively. Those two levels are also connected by an additional staircase, which leads the students to a central spot on the recess hall, from where they can reach the cafeteria and the east wing; the latter is organized in three levels and accommodates the learning facilities.

Construction:The building should be primarily designed as a timber and concrete construction and must be earthquake resistant.

Task:The task was to create a residential housing complex in a empty place South East of the “Ajuda Nacional Palace” in Lisbon, it is one of the few spaces unconsolidated around the Palace. Although this area has a great potential due to the safe soil for construction, to the view to the city, to the historical surroundings location, and the connection to the rest of the city.

Solution:As general solution was proposed a complex that closes the block as it happens on the surroundings, creating physical and visible limits with the buildings, however it brings four new big squares, instead of using the traditional small interior spaces be-tween the buildings, here is proposed a multiprogramming in terms of use, big new green areas inexistent at the moment in the surrounds, and a clearly organization of the uses and functions, where you can find in the first floors commercial areas and services and in the last three floors the dwellings. In terms of dweeling organization there’s a main module that is repeated except in the corners and inter-sections. This module is composed by a vertical common access that creates the ver-tical and horizontal circulation, than for three different dwelling typologies, Duplex with three bedrooms; one Bedroom dwells and studios.

Task: The task was to work and adapt a Social Housing Building to new standard needs , Julius-Popp-Hof one of the many constructed by the years in Vienna by the Social Party inserted on the Rotes Wien, .

Solution:To provide a solution, we had the need to understand that this specific building had singular qualities and characteristics, being a building from 1925/26 that has been already target of some changes during its time, however, we under-stood and realized that one of the most important problem still existing was the fact that the average of 40 m2 areas could not meet the current modern standard needs, and so was proposed a fully reorganization of the actual flats, proposing a combination of them so we could increased their areas, however this action would make the number of dwells in the building reduce, so to get bigger and more efficient flats, but provide the same number of dwells we cre-ate a new system of flats that are constructed on the top of the building, replac-ing the actual number of dwells.
