The main intention for this project, was to create an equilibrium and stability point in that density (caused by blocks with several shapes). The project is developed in one single block that starts from Fernão Magalhães Avenue and is extended to the riverside, after the Train Station. The elementary school is the exception point that finishes all the drawing project, as it is developed in a cloister, by functional reasons that include quietude and non-pollution. This new block is located above thin columns, so it gives transparency and lightness to all the aggregate. The development of the internal spaces is made the same way as the external lines of the block; they follow the same directions.

The proposed terrain has a very marked pending, that goes down from North-East to South-East, with the main street on the North-East side. It is located between two recent residential buildings. The idea consisted in taking advantage of the higher level of lighting and that all internal spaces were turned to the same direction. This way, it was decided to play with the terrain pendent. The new building is constituted by two arms, located in different levels and they are connected by the circulation area, which one also includes the kitchen. The upper floor of the house matches the entrance of the house, garage and workspace for the artist. In the lower floor are lo-cated the room, bedrooms and one covered porch that separates them. There is one single balcony to all compartments. The roofing follows as much as possible the pendent of the terrain, so they are almost parallel. The structure is made by white concrete in the walls and roofing. The floor of the room and bedrooms is made of wood as well as all frames.

The proposed area for this project is quite plan and open, allowing this way the visual contact with Coimbra’s outskirts. It has not a strong construc-tive density, so the new project must attack as few as possible this space. One of the main intentions was to respect the surrounding buildings ty-pologies, concerning the implantation and their height. This way, I’ve tried to give as much as possible the sensation of lightness and transparency to the new building, by using materials that seem to be not so gross. So, they were created three buildings; one of them has just one floor, for com-mercial functions and the other ones, with the residential function, are similar and have six floors. This two buildings seem to seat in the commercial building, as they are located above thin columns in all length. Concerning the apartments, they are in duplex, having public areas in the lower floor and the private ones in the upper floor. The living room has double height. The corridors which allow access to the apartments are external and staircases are involved by a glazed box, giving this way, more emphasis to the pretended transparency. The elevators are inserted in gross structural walls made of concrete. The parking is located in the underground and gives direct access to the residential buildings.

EXPANSION OF COLÉGIO DAS ARTES | STUDENT WORK 2008/2009 | COIMBRA, PORTUGAL

The Department of Architecture of UC has a quite old structure which as become non-suficient to satisfy spatial needs due the increase of the number of students. So, it was proposed the intervention in this building, as well as its expansion. The terrain is very narrow and it has a very big pendent. It is contigu-ous to Padre António Vieira street. The proposed program was very embracing and involves a great deal of area: the resettlement of Project, Drawing, Geometry rooms, amphitheatres and computer room, as well as the book/print shop, bar and PhD rooms, secretary, library and several offices implies total reshuffle of the school structure. My interest has been focused on the connection between Department of Architecture and Padre António Vieira street, despite the dissemblance of levels. This way, the main idea was to follow the topography, by creating several distinct and self connected volumes which would come since the upper level, near to the school, until the lower level, of the street. The proposed program is spread between all the build-ings. However, public spaces (bar, and book shop) were located in the connection area between buildings, as these must be open and broad places.

For this project, we were supposed to choose one village on the Eifel region, located on the western Germany. It has been proposed to make an urban intervention in the chosen village, according to its needs, which we could know after making its analysis. The chosen village is called Sistig and it is a town with 9.83km2 area and 810 inhabitants. First, it was made its analysis, so we could know its potentialities and fragilities and then, we could present our proposed intervention for this place.

As we can see, by the analysis, Sistig is a quiet village, where the private life overlaps to the collective living. People who live here have preference for an easygoing life. It is a place to live, not to work. The biggest part of the residents work in Kall, only 8 people work in Sistig. This means that some of the public buildings are closed. Our first concept consisted in making the analysis of all Sistig’s functions, to see what the village already has and what we must add to make it a most attractive and interesting space. So we decided to verify which areas could have a great potential and could be significant to an eventual changing on it’s life’s quality.

21

We believe that Sistig needs more public space, more living together, so we decided to create a green park in the south of the village; this also dues to the fact that the basic school is quite far from the city center, so we created a area that, simultaneously, attract people and also has a relation with the school. This green park has several leisure functions. The East side is space for children and it can be directly used by the school; in one part we propose an area with didactic games and the tables next to the trees could be used by the school to crafts, in the open air. The southern part would be a spielplatz, with swings. On the western area, we propose a resting and leisure space to all the people. Here, we would have a bier-garten and a lake where people also could swim. The northern area is simultaneously a crossing green and resting space.

This is the most functional area in the village so, we though that a sta-tion/touristic info here would be required. We though about a building with a ticket shop, station info and a cafe with terrace. This building should have a relation with the existing residential building, so we had to study its shape.

With this project, we attempt to create a space for culture, reading and books sale. We tried to create a relation between this building and the surrounding environment, so its shape, as well as its belonging exter-nal space respect the privacies and also other buildings’s structures. The building consists of two zones: a quiet reading room with books and a coffee shop with books for sale. The central external space is a wide space, surrounded by a path which connects two streets; this green route with benches, invite people to read and to take a rest. This area also offers a variety of activities such as reading outdoors, concerts, etc.

The internal space of these old buildings becomes more functional. All floors also follow the same constructive system (of wood), becoming this way, more soft and also preserving the building’s traditional typology. It was pretended to preserve the patrimony, by respecting the character and the shape of buildings. One of the ambitions of this intervention was to bring new residents, by dynamizing the offer of flexible and adequate typologies to the incentive of residence of several sectors of the community, sustaining the increasing of touristic lodgement offers and the crea-tion of meeting places for activities.

BUILDING 12 - This building had five floors, with 32,35m2 area each floor. Due the fact that each floor has a very small living area, becoming im-possible, this way, the autonomy of each one of them, it was decided to develop one single house of type T3+1, since the 1st until the 4th floor, having this way the ground floor, the commercial function. This way, there are two entrances in the building: the one from the ground floor, which allows gives access to the shop by Souto street, and the one of the first floor, which is the entrance of the house, by an upper level, in Pelames street. Due the fact that all pavements have a very small width, between 2,89m and 1,38m, it was opted to develop all internal spaces by following the longitudinal direction. The difference of height between each floor has something to be with the longitudinal character of all house floors; this happens because the difference of height between pavements is big enough to make the upper floor, part of the furniture of the house. This is a way to create equilibrium and transparency in such a narrow space, without the necessity of increase furniture.

This project is an answer to the necessity of revitalization of industrial buildings, since they occupy a big area in cities. This way, due the fact that there aren’t many study rooms in these environments (specially, portuguese cities with universities) and with the intention of satisfying the actual needs and also taking in consideration the big size of this building, it was chosen a very comprehensive program, which includes three functions: leisure, culture and sport. The choice of this kind of functions must be a viable solution, concerning the requalification of Cavalinho factory, but also from the socio-economic point, as it becomes a place, located in the Guimarães city center, with very useful functions and seek by everyone. The main idea consists in the creation of an unique route, along all building, made by ramps, starting in the building main entrance and ending in the roof, which is now a terrace for free public use. This route creates different levels slabs, being associated, each one, to a distinct function; this way, it is always present the sensation of something new and the drop of monotony, for users. There is also, along this route, a reuse and valorization of the smallest spaces, created by the existing forks, starting on the first floor, on the facades North and West of the building.

Nowadays, these villages are total or partially abandoned, being only a historical and mysterious reference, for many people, of what was there a few decades ago. The agriculture and pastoral activities were the main activities and also the most important for these populations survival, associating itself in a mountaineer agro-pastoral organi-zation. However, due the fact of revenues of agricultural activities being only a few and not enough for the sustenance of population, it was necessary to search for job abroad. This way, the percentage of population start decreasing progressively, which instigated the desertion of some villages. However, beginning in the 70 century, these villages start being the refuge and resting place for populations that came from other places. So, it was started a recuperation process of an almost lost historical patrimony. Cerdeira’ village is belongs to this group of nine places and its sociological characters are similar to the ones of the other mountaineer places. This village is implanted be-tween 610m and 715m of altitude and it has car access since Lousã small town, by the national route 236, being necessary to drive 12km until arrive a forest cross that climb up 1.5km in the mountain until arrive the village. Nowadays, this is one of the villages that seems to be more isolated, because of being distant from the national route.

REHABILITATION OF THE VILLAGE OF CERDEIRA | MASTER THESIS 2010/2011 | CERDEIRA (LOUSÃ), PORTUGAL

The intention of this work was the elaboration of a rehabilita-tion project to Cerdeira, a schist village located in the ridge of mountains Lousã. The option for this village, dues to the memo-ries that the popular architecture represents but also to the characters of this specific village, whose activities make the distinction between her and all the other mountaineer places f Lousã. The mentioned villages are located, as it was already said, in Serra da Lousã that belongs to Central Ridge – an en-semble of mountains that crosses big part of Península Ibérica and that are also composed by the ridges of mountains of Gardunha, Açor and Estrela, in portuguese territory. This ridge of mountains is very old and of schistose formation and villag-es, they are implanted between 450m and 820m of altitude. These villages are not so far from each other’s and they are constituted, almost in totality by schist constructions, which is the rock that can be found in that place.

Enjoying the usufruct of a very distinct and valorous landscape and a strong relation with Sardeira riverside – this village has a natural structure with the shape of an amphitheatre, supported by slopes West and South and it is implanted in a little rocky outcrop, being its increasing associated to the shape of this outcrop. This long and narrow rocky ridge, helped to define not only the main street of the village but also all the other ones, because of the impossibility of building over it and the difficulty of take it off. This way, the village is developed along this main street and it is the block of houses that, somehow, define/draw all streets and remaining spaces. The central area of the village is the entrance area and it has al-ready an accentuated inclination. In this part of the village, buildings are very concentrated. In the Northern side, the biggest part of constructions that still allow access is practically all recuperated. If we keep walking from the central area to the Southern side, the sloping gets more accentu-ated, which instigated the construction of stairs in the most irregular areas. In this part of the village, they can be found many ruin vestiges, due old buildings location, near places with extreme inclination, whose don’t have any kind of access anymore; however, is there here, a small number of buildings which have been already repaired. From here and keeping walking even more to South, the schist cutlass pavement starts degrad-ing and posteriorly, it disappears, being substituted by loosen rocks without any kind of arrangement and also by vegetation; here, the declivous is almost in the limit that allows people walking. In this kind of organization, the public and private spaces just keep appearing and articulating according the topography and rocky cutlasses configuration (streets), though nowadays, it isn’t possible to make the distinction between some private and public areas, due its abandonment and degradation. Inversely to what happens in other villages or towns, here, public spaces are not adjacent to circulation routes and also don’t have any relation with them. In that wild and steep terrain, all the free space in which one it was possible to build in, was immediately used by houses, ware-houses, stables or functional public spaces for collective use – fountain and barn-floors.

The constructive material used in the parapet and in the threshold is schist flagstone; lintels are made of trunks of chestnut-tree; doors and windows’ jambs are, regularly constituted by schist. Due the glass inexistence in the beginning, windows were constituted by simple chestnut-tree wood porches. The covering of houses had one or two slopes and it was com-posed by wood and schist structure, with a coating of tube tile, ended ex-ternally by schist eaves. This structure was composed by wood rafters that are sitting directly and in transversal direction, over external walls of the biggest side of the building. Rafters sustain the weight of wood battens, lo-cated over them, in perpendicular direction and in sequence, over these battens, they appear schist plates. In the beginning, schist was chinked in thin sheets, before being applied to the covering, but the tube tile just replaced it, because it was too heavy to the wood structure, besides it offered a better protection for rain. Concerning the interior of houses, in-ternal walls were simply constituted by wood planks.

In Cerdeira, we can find several typologies of houses. These typologies kept changing, allied to changes and progresses of constructive pro-cesses. In the beginning, schist houses had only two floors, being the main typology but also the poorest one of the village. Always consti-tuted by schist rock, generally they had only two or three compart-ments: the ground floor that was appointed for animals’ shelter – here, the pavement was so it was low; and the first floor was constituted by one single compartment that was the kitchen, resting place and bed-room, at the same time, without dividing walls. Later, they appeared houses with three floors and bigger plans. In those new typologies of higher internal height, bedrooms were located in the higher floor, being the kitchen and the living room, in the middle floor and stables or stores in the ground floor. The plans of these new typologies, are much bigger than the old ones.

33

The main objective was to conjugate two opposite functions that can be adapt-ed in the same way to the village: by one side, the touristic function and by an-other side, the ecologic/artistic function. The intention is to make this village be-come more known and make that people participate in activities of that place; and this is a good way to put Cerdeira back in the map, again, without being damaged by some excess of people. The idea is to attract some kind of people and make them become integrated in those events. This way, activities associ-ated to this kind of tourism are not only interpreted in walks through the village, traditional food, reading and rest, but also in the participation of activities that would be realized there, contributing this way to give more vitality to the village and teaching a few of the agricultural and artisanal activities. This way, there would be an union between inhabitants of the village and tourists. It is important to convert some houses, in a way which allows work spaces, lodgements for peo-ple, as well as the official and organized plan of events in the village.

The building which lodges this new function is located in the central part of the village. In reality, they seem to be two build-ings that were united by an internal door. This building is very adapted to the terrain, having this way, differences of levels in the same floor. Its implantation area is 68.18m2 and the sum of total areas from both floors is 136.36m2. This is one of the houses with better sunstroke conditions, as its windows have a good size and are in big number, what guaranties the entrance of the sunlight. This way, the building has a good area and con-figuration to be a cafe/restaurant being possible to convert the external space near the entrance, in a terrace for the restau-rant.

This building was, in the beginning, a small house made of schist rocks, in which one was increased a new part, made of plastered schist, later. That’s the reason of the existence of two materials in the façade. Its implantation area is 62.39m2 and the sum of all floors’ total area is 187.17m2. Recently, one of the external walls of this house crumbled down partially, but it still has recuperation possibilities. As this house is one of the biggest ones of the village, it would be interesting to convert it in a renting house to holidays or weekends. However, it doesn’t have many over-tures to the exterior and the existing ones are too small, so it was necessary to put more overtures.
