PROJECTS

SANTO ANDRÉ LANDSCAPE RECOVERY IN SANTO ANDRÉ BEACH AREA, SANTIAGO DO CACÉM - PORTUGAL

Identifying the natural charac-teristics and factors to be im-proved or to be used for a bet-ter functional recovery, while striving for the conservation of Santo André beach area.

This area corresponds to a shore-system-strands and coastal la-goons, which are associated with a dune systems zone. For this reason, the area is extremely sensitive and unstable because it is a place of communication between land and sea.

This is why the vegetation is very important and so, the main goal of this project was to make a dune recovery trough the in-troduction of stabilizing species along some dune areas, while finding at the same time, a pleasant design for this bathing area.

ACADEMIC WORK - BachelorINSTITUTO SUPERIOR DE AGRONOMIA

ANJOS GARDEN DESIGN IN ANJOSLISBOA - PORTUGAL



This project was meant to create new design for a garden inside the metro-politan area of Lisbon.

The main goal was to develop the ha-bility of getting inspiration from an art painting to design the garden and in this case it was used the “Simplicity” by Ana Saborida, which shows the sim-plicity of african people.

The project took place in a multicul-tural neigborhood named Anjos - Lis-boa, which makes it related with the concept.

ODIVELASLANDSCAPE PLANNING IN ODIVELAS

MUNICIPALITY, LISBOA - PORTUGAL



Over the past 50 years, Odivelas faced an large urban pressure emerging, which marked the transition from a disorganized rural landscape to urban. This transition has had several conse-quences as the implementation of illegal build-ings (lawlessly) giving rise to several problems of landscape management which made it unsus-tainable.

This is the reason why Odivelas munincipality asked for help for an oriented Landscape Plan-ning in order to bring back the sustainability and make this area be used properly.

This project aims to clarify and plan the right use of the land and had GIS software as a support of strategy and understanding of the different maps with relevant information about the area such as ecological structures, erosion areas, water infiltra-tion areas, soil conditions and water lines. All this together to help to bring Odivelas a better future.

BELA VISTA REHABILITATION PROJECT IN BELA VISTA NEIGHBORHOOD, SETÚBAL - PORTUGAL

Bela Vista neighborhood was identi-fied as a sufered area that was previ-ously occupied by low income resi-dents and where year after year the buildings were getting increasingly degraded as well as the surrounding landscape.

The fact that Bela Vista was a so-cial neighborhood where the resi-dents could not pay for renewals in the area was the reason why it was barely tapped although it has a lot of potentials.



In this proposal intervention was considered as the main target for the remodeling of this space, to satisfy the needs of its users, creat-ing for this aim two different zones with different purposes:

An active recreational area and one crossing area, both separated by one water feature and combined with all its surrounding struc-ture as well as the type of vegetation chosen.

BERKELEYRENEWAL PROJECTS ALONG STRAWBERRY CREEK WATERSHED BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA - USA

ACADEMIC WORK - SummerUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY 2012 . BERKELEY - USA

Model analysis of the Strawberry Creek Watershed.

Berkeley is divided into four distinct social areas where we find different activities and functions.

The main goal of this project is to make them unified by making two potential places, which sit among Strawberry Creek Watershed, more interesting in order to gather peo-ple from all the four areas.

BERKELEY CIVIC CENTER RENEWAL PROJECT IN CIVIC CENTER PARK,

BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA - USA

ACADEMIC WORK - SummerUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

2012 . BERKELEY - USA

The main goal of this project was to make a connection between two different plac-es of the Strawberry Creek Watershed - Civic center and Berkeley Bay - by using the land forms and at the same time tell something about the Strawberry Creek as an im-portant element in this area.

BERKELEY BAY RENEWAL PROJECT IN BERKELEY BAY AREA, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA - USA

ACADEMIC WORK - SummerUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY

2012 . BERKELEY - USA

Also one of the goals of this project along the Strawberry Creek Watershed in Berke-ley was to make these areas more interesting so they can be gived a better use, in-stead of being forgotten.

The Kirstinehøj site sits within a con-text of functional disarray and varying urban typologies. This project looks at how to create new social and cultural possibili-ties for this area through a func-tional and physical intervention.The existing warehouses would function as a building block for a new creative community.

The landscape surrounding these buildings is meant to support their creative inhabitants while form-ing a new connective tissue be-tween the neighbouring sites. This tissue will consist of Landscape Rooms offering a variety of ex-periences through structural and vegetal compositions based on the forms and scale of neigh-bouring suburban typologies.

new “Garden city”. This city is meant to adapt to the existing landscape, bringing together the wa-ter, the vegetation and the buildings in an Hedonisitc way. Also the plan of the project was designed to get the visitors to follow a story route trough the new city.

The main inspiration for the project was the Baroque garden from Versailles - France, which brought the con-cept drawing of the

The main goal has been to join the two structures into one co-herent and living body. Within the notion of the historic struc-ture is the notion of a city connected with a landscape, which take great benefit from each other. In this project this means, that the openings from the city to the different landscapes are made clearer, the green structures are being dragged into the city, and the blue structures are made more accessible.

The main goal has been to join the two structures into one co-herent and living body. Within the notion of the historic struc-ture is the notion of a city connected with a landscape, which take great benefit from each other. In this project this means, that the openings from the city to the different landscapes are made clearer, the green structures are being dragged into the city, and the blue structures are made more accessible.



This project opens up the forgotten historical connections, and brings life into the history of a city once connected with a landscape by introducing an “Edge” and “Six Lines” to Fred-eriksværk.




The edge is a contrasting transition between the city and surrounding landscape. It provides two things: a path that takes you north-south with recreational experiences, and a green city wall framing and densifying the city.

Six specific lines are strengthened. They go from the sur-rounding landscape and into the city center, in east- west direction. They are called names as “the canal” and “the dike”. These six lines are chosen both for their specific his-toric importance and their lo- cation, as they bring history and landscape back into the city center.
