The hospital in Kalyan-durg (a small village in

the region of Anantapur, India) was needing a new

entrance because the rain was getting inside the

atrium.I worked as a volunteer

for the spanish fundation Rural Development Trust

- Fundación Vicente Ferrer, who built the hos-pital and is also in charge

of this construction.

New entrance to Kalyandurg’s Hospital

August 2007 (building in progress)

In order to preserve the openess of the hospital´s entrance, I proposed a new roof that hangs itself at a inverted beam. The pilars are pushed away from the access ramp, leaving space for a generous entrance with a roof fl oating

above it.

This project is a clear reference to Paulo Mendes da Rocha (pritsker awarded in 2006) design for the Praça do Patriarca revitalization in São Pau-lo. He proposted to restaure the old square as it was, and added a new, light structure to cover it. Without touching the ground, the structure is capable of re-organizing the space of the square only by providing shelter, and marking the metro station.

MST - Movimento dos Trabalhadores Sem TerraMouvement of the Rural Workers with no Land

2006 design to FAU-USP, presented at the MST campsite

I chose to work with this ideological movement because I wanted to participate, as an architect, in the construction of a more equal society.

This movement is promoting a very important change to the rural land ownership in Brazil. Demanding that unproduc-tive land from big farmers be passed on to people that need it and can work on it.

The design plays here a very important role: racionalizing the land use and making very clear how the land ownership could be, with a more equal and collective character.

To assure the objectives to be socialy, economically and ecologically responsable, I followed Bill Mollison’s principles of Permaculture. By making the design more harmonic with the climate, the site conditions and the labour available, it is pos-sible to allow nature to do most of the work for us. This organization brings a continu-ous and diversified production throughout the year, with a very low energy consumption.

The objective is to work with the local potantialties and al-lowing them to grow stronger.

Organizing the production areas in strips perpendicular to the private sites emphasize the collective caracter of production and reproduction of the local comunity.

The necessity of the ever faster growing city of São Paulo for more dwellings, resulted in this mixed program for a site in the city center

in order to keep the diversity of the city center, the building will contain:

design to FAU-USP in 2006

300 dowellings - 150 student housing - 150 family housing

2 public theaters - 50 seats

- 200 seats

2000 m² comercial area

library

colective area / equipments

the given pro-gram

a solid block with the public functions on the city’s ground � oor, and a mas-sive housing organization, with little sun, little diversity, little space. BUT WHAT IF...

... the public square is organized vertically, according to its functions and its relation to several city heights. Multiplicating the ground � oor could bring a deeper conection of the citizens to their habitat ...

... the library is added close to the street ...

they spread open, breathe over the city. allowing the sun and the wind to enter to hole build-ing

the dwellings will have to react in order to incorporate these changes

and a library

2 theaters ,

the inhabitants will now have several qualities of space

the vertical públic squares ,

... and then the colective equipments work as a connec-tion node throughout the intire building

the collective facilities ,

... two theaters can give a cul-tural boost to the surround-ings ...

the result is a highly dense building, with a variety of funcitions, and in close tuning with its urban surroundings. the purpose of its architec-ture is to act as a ‘human gatherer’

The idea of a residencial tower with comerce on the base is shadered and the construction assumes a far more im-portant role in the city, an multiple-functional urban equipment.

Cratera de ParelheirosParelheiros: The peripheral City

design to FAU-USP, published in the faculty magazine 1:1000

the city and the crater

the assignment seeked solutions for the consequences of the fast expantion of São Paulo.

São Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world, is expand-ing in a speed far greater then its infrastructre can follow. The mouvement of contraction and expantion that the city goes trough every day, leaves areas where the public domain is un-nable to interviene in a construc-tion of a more coherent urban tissue.

In the very south of the city, is found a very unique geological formation: a crater opened two milions years ago, on the side of the Billings dam, in the verge of the sea mountain chain.

This was the site of the assign-ment, the question of density arose.

the discussion raised itself, shoud we ‘fi x’ the problems of current cities or propose an

ideal city?

why not imagine a new kind of urbanization?

why not think of the cities of the future? as they could be?

‘After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveler directed towards Baucis cannot

see the city and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds sup-port the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themsellves: having already

everything they need up there, they prefer not to come down. Nothing from the city touches the earth except those long fl amingo legs it rests and,

when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that

falls on the foliage.

There are three hypotheses about the inhabitants of Bau-cis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spy-

glasses and telescopes aimed downward they never tire

of examining it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant,

comtemplating with facination their own absence.’

Is it possible to built an increadibly dense mega-structure, that rarely touches the ground?

A modulation was the most practical way to express the need for order.

The mega structure would have 200 x 25 meters wide, with a central spam of 120 meters and 40 meters cantilievers on each side

with this fi xed structure, the space inside gets a great freedom to adapt to diferent

uses :

housing with various densities ...

... cultural and sports equipments ...

and productive infrastructure

I focused in the quality of the public space, preserving its democratic nature and giving the basis - space - to a more fertile mix of use, social classes, culture.

In the spring semester 2007 the design assignment was to elaborate a hybrid building. To enhance the quality of the new expantion of Haarlem, this new building should make a dialogue between different functions, diferent spaces and diferent people, the old and the new.

The foyer has to invite the citizens to come in, it has to be a part of the city. With that in mind I proposed an entry to the theater with different relations to the city,

different spatial perception, different cultural activities.
