Brasília is the federal capital of Brazil and was planned and developed by Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer in 1956, in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central position. Brasília was chosen as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its modernist architecture.

The proposal was to design a social housing complex with 120 living units in a poor neighborhood of a medium side city. The main idea was to create different levels by taking advantage of the building site's slope, to reduce the vertical distance to be defeated by who enters the complex in the upper part of the site. To accomplish that, the buildings should be connected.In that point, I began to work with wood blocks and try to put them in different dispositions to get to the better placement, considering the solar interpretation, the walkways ow and the building site's particular aspects. The blocks were overlapped leaving some empty spaces to be common areas, stimulating social interactions.

The apartments consist in a fixed core for the social and service areas, kitchen, living room and bathroom, added with two bedrooms on each side. This the residences are exible and can be displaced in
four different ways.

Designing an architecture school was both challenging and exciting. Being so attached to this theme made this design fascinating. We had to propose solutions for a big and complex program. First, we decided to create four buildings, being the main building the school itself, a relaxing area, a restaurant and an auditorium. Using the site's slope, we designed an underground parking lot.

This design consists in a new Belvedere for the Iguaçu Waterfalls Park, in Paraná,
the second biggest tourist destination in Brazil, and was created as a proposal for
a national architecture competition. It should improve the existing infrastructure
to better attend the visitors.

We decided to create a belvedere, two resting
islands and a restaurant. Our main idea was
to incorporate all five senses in the design. The
sight is explored everywhere in the park’s open
area, but mainly in the belvedere. There, the
visitor is also invited to exercise the hearing
and the touch. At the restaurant is easy to
smell and taste great flavors of local cuisine.
The belvedere was divided to provide different
sensations. The entrance area does not allow
the view to the waterfalls. It is made with
punctured weathering steel, in a way that
small fractions of light come through and the
visitor can only hear the water sound.
Moving further, there is an area without a
roof, and the tourists feel completely
vulnerable, standing in a glass pane and
feeling the water sprays touching their skin.
The other parts of the place are covered, for a
more safe sensation. There is also an
exhibition room to expose the local culture and
the Iguaçu Waterfalls.
The paths connect the main buildings, also
allowing the tourist’s permanence, if they so
desire. The 3.5 width walkways have some
direction inconsistencies, so the visitor can be
surprised by the unpredictable surrounding
nature.
The steel structural system allows bigger free
spans, giving lightness aspect to the design
and enhancing the design.

The roofing of the resting islands is uneven, irregular and finds the ground in two ends, leaving the place open, so the visitors can see the waterfalls no matter where they stand. There are toilets, includind one handicap accessible. The islands communicates with the restaurant and the belvedere through walkways and were placed in areas with great view of the Iguaçu Waterfalls.
