PROFILE

I acquired experience from some of Denmark’s largest and most respected

firms where I gained international experience working on Commercial

and Cultural projects in Europe. I also did various internishps in Berlin

mastering my knowledge in Educational and Renovation projects as well as

Interior Design.

My educational background is based in a large scope of architectural scales,

which means I am very versatile and am capable of developing masterplans

as well as small scale projects like single family housing and interior design

with great detail. In my studies I also aquired the knowledge of detailing

any kind of project I was developing being capable of understanding the

fundamentals of it’s tectonics (1:5 scale). I finished my master studies with

a theoretical research theses which gave me a great sense of the importance

of deep research as the foundation to a good project.

I come from a position as the lead Architect in some of Arrow Architects’

competitions and research projects. I am used to participate in the

conceptual phases of the project as well as the construction phases. I

worked on sustainable urban developments and commercial buildings with

great sense of detail. I also developed most of the project’s presentations

having an overall insight of each project and emphacizing them graphically

through diagrams and animated elements.

Recently I have been working on a large scale waterfront development

in Nigeria and a 120.000m2 large sustainable city district in Sweden that

incorporates facilities for both the nearby University and housing district.

In parallel I helped developing several internal office processes such as

Masterplan Scope and Campus Criterias which were used as quality

insurance when developing projects.

To whom it may concern,

INES SOUZA has been working at ARROW from february 2013 – October 2014.

We have come to know INES SOUSA as a reliable and dedicated designer with a good sense for architectural expression. She is a cherished colleague and a great team player. At the office, INES SOUSA has developed much of the explanations behind our projects, both through diagrams and movies. She is on top of the tools she uses, and works both efficiently and with precision.

During her time at ARROW, INES SOUSA has been involved in the conceptual design stages of several projects at the office:

- A 7.000 m2 cultural center located in the Caucasus.

- A 115.000 m2 Masterplan for the City of Linköping Sweden.

- A 15.000m2 Residential and Office tower in Lagos Nigeria.

- A 750.000 m2 Mix usage Waterfront Project located in Lagos Nigeria.

- A 500.000 m2 large Masterplan in Al Satwa, Dubai.

- A 17.000 m2 large gallery and office competition in Vilnius, Lithuania.

- A 13.ooo m2 large office building in Vilnius, Lithuania

It is my pleasure to give INES SOUSA our very best reference.

Ulrik Raysse Managing Director, Partner

ARROW ARCHITECTS

I joined Arrow Architects at their very beggining. I found it very

interesting to work with a team that was looking for international projects

in Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Dubai, Brazil, America, Sweeden, etc. I

worked in a wide range of project phases: from masterplans for Nigeria and

Sweden until detailing a construction project for 385 houses in Calabar,

Nigeria.

My typical involvement at each project would start with a project schedule

managing the team members role and time frame for each phase. After

that I would be part of the resarch team gathering and presenting

useful information about the cultural, historical, climatic, political and

architectural background. Then in the design team I would engage in

conceptual design ideas that would help the partner pick a final concept.

After that i would be in charge of the presentation, building the booklet,

panels, coordinating the model building and if necessary making an

animation. At this phase I would design the storyline diagrams with 3d

in Rhino and Illustrator, take care of all the graphical explanations and

prepare the drawings to send to the laser cutter. For an animation I would

use Premiere and After effects. If the project had a construcion phase

I would also help with the material reseach and construction detail in

Autocad.

I was given the opportunity to lead some competions and be responsible

of coaching, providing insight and enabling results through the other team

members.

I was also helping on the development of theoretical research for internal

office purpose: Campus Criteria and Evolution and Masterplan Scope.

My experience at ARROW was very positive and I developed my research

and presentation skills as well as my leading skills.

Nya WahlbecksSustainable City District 110 000m², Sweden Arrow + Internodus + Lakron Client: Sankt Kors Fastighets AB

A NEW CITY DISTRICT FOR GROWTH, KNOWLEDGE AND SUSTAINABILITY

Wahlbeck’s Business Park is the meeting place for Linköpings innovative companies. The park has a strategic location midway between Mjärdevi Science Park / Linköping University and the city center of Linköping.ARROW has developed a new masterplan for Wahlbecks Business Park. The goal is to create the best possible conditions for growth and develop a dynamic mix of working, living and learning. When Wahlbeck Business Park comes fully ready it will have a total business area of approximately 50,000 m2 together with housing units and facilities for the nearby university. The project have been developed in close relation with InterNodus and Sankt Kors Property Company.

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH ON AN IDEAL LOCATIONThe park has everything an expansive company is seeking. The geographical location is ideal with its proximity to the country’s three major metropolitan areas. Here are a leading university with excellence, internationally recognized Mjärdevi Science Park and a tradition of high-tech industry. The new Wahlbecks Business Park will serve as a active urban link between the Univiersity, Mjärdevi Science Park and the city center of Linköping.

EVERYTHING FOR THE FUTURE CUTTING-EDGE BUSINESSThe dynamic growth environment that is being built will generate new, transnational and innovative forms of cooperation. This would allow companies to develop and test their products in full scale in the spirit of a “living laboratory.” It will happen in the daily interaction between the park’s businesses, colleagues from Mjärdevi Science Park and through different partners as well as with researchers and students from the University since the test and expo environments will be available in the area.

SUSTAINABILITY PERMEATES EVERYTHINGDuring the preliminary work sustainability has been a major focus. And sustainability is so much more than ecology. Throughout the development of the area, economy and knowledge based sustainability has been equally important in order to create a long-term sustainable environment.

Nya Wahlbecks skall uppnå ett positivt livsklimat för de boende och en kreativ tillväxtmiljö för företag och personer som arbetar och verkar i området. Här kan samverkan mellan näringsliv och människor leda hela vägen fram till innovativa produkter och tjänster, men också upplysa och inspirera till mera hållbara livsstilar.


För att uppnå en större allsidighet i förhållande till omgivningen och därmed ge förutsättningar för en mer varierad företags och befolkningspro l är Helhetsplanen uppdelad i fem delområden.

Var och en har sin egen bebyggelse och identitetsskapande karaktär som stadsrum. Delområdena förhåller sig alla till ‘loopen’, det huvudsakliga off enliga rummet som ätar samman området och kopplar Nya Wahlbecks till den omgivande stadsstrukturen.

Varje delområde innehåller alla varierade program av bostäder, aff ärslokaler, kunskaps- och innovationsmiljöer och service.

Nedanstående avsnitt utgår från tre tidigare presenterade strategier: Innovationsstrategi, Hållbarhetsstrategi och Identitetsstrategi. Kapitlen ger ett arkitektoniskt, stadsmässigt och funktionellt förslag på varje kvarters utformning.

Detta underlag är avsett att vidarebearbetas och utvecklas i ett kommande skede av genomförande. Det sker i samarbete med projektorganisation och andra aktörer i dialog med framtida brukare och intressenter.

De fem kvarteren är:

Mjärdevi City och Växthuset, 15.600 kvm

Dynamiken, 37.700 kvm

Repslageriet, 13.800 kvm

Lugnet, 19.500 kvm

The building seeks to communicate and inspire

generations to come of the work of the CAIER

through experience, information and ambitions

set in an exciting, bright, open and welcoming

environment.

The building enhances the presence of the

Garden city with its clear interior spaces

that frames the surrounding landscape from

below the tree line to above it.

The building opens up and guide visitors and

researchers alike through its interior to the

landscaped garden of the roof with views of

the surrounding city.

“ The Garden City - a strong concept”

The surroundings are enhanced by the clear spaces of the building. Making the green and the Garden City the focal point for the views

A RESEARCH CENTER WITH A LARGER PURPOSE

The CAIER has three missions, to research, develop and support activities

around its core mission.

The design for the CAIER headquarter adds one mission to those three

and that is to communicate. Much of the research and activities of the core

missions are both tangible and Intangible. They happen both inside, but

also outside of Kazakhstan. We have therefore designed the CAIER as a

place that enables these activities to be experienced by the public.

The building is a platform, where the publics curiousity and the CAIER’s

mission go hand in hand. They merge together and become one. The

publics access to the building and experience of the work of the CAIER

might to some extend be almost as important to the CAIER’s mission as the

R&D. Simply put the building should express: We do what we say we do.

With the combination of accessibility, research, exhibition and a journey

through the building the CAIER becomes a destination of its own. It is not

only a research building but a place you come to visit, spend a few hours

when you visit Almaty. And while you do that, your awareness on the

ecological challenges and opportunities in Central Asia, are raised.

GREENLAND MIGRATING.: HENNING LARSEN .: INES SOUSA

The new masterplan for Ilulissat

The Market Harbor The Sports Plaza

Greenland MigratingIlulissat Masterplan, Greenland Henning Larsen + David Garcia Studio + KITAA 13th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice

ILULISSAT THE AGGREGATED TOWN

When debating the future of Greenland, migration is high on the agenda. Tourism, mining and mineral exploration can cause a migration flow that might turn the Greenlandic population into a minority in their own country.

The project investigates the historic, dynamic urban development of Greenland and creates new aggregating structures that facilitate the meeting between different groups of people in the cities: Greenlanders, tourists, workers, students etc.

The project proposes an alternative masterplan for the Greenlandic town of Ilulissat. Capitalising on density and the migrating community, whether it is for a day, a season or a lifetime, the strategy aims to promote the ‘meeting’ between people as a resource for growth and economic sustainability.

Four interventions are suggested - where architecture can be the catalyst for the ‘meeting’ and a more cohesive Ilulissat. It is the present and future Greenlanders, where ever they may come from, who will eventually form the Ilulissat of tomorrow.

The four suggested interventions are a multi-purpose Culture Centre, a market and temporary housing along the harbour, a sports plaza allowing for activities to take place all year round and a new meeting hub in the Ilulissat Ice Fjord - comprising a new UNESCO office, a tourist information centre and spaces for the new Faculty of Glacial Studies.

Head curator, the internationally renowned Danish-Greenlandic Professor in geology, Minik Rosing, and co-curator NORD Architects Copenhagen, have worked together with six teams of architects, engineers, planners and ethnologists from Denmark and Greenland. They have developed a number of scenarios that will contribute to a broader debate in Greenland and also be an invitation to the rest of the world to contribute to a sustainable development of the country.

The exhibition at the Danish pavilion provides a spectacular experience of ’Greenlandicness’ through models, images, visualisations, text, film and artifacts. In different scenarios of the future, the exhibition ‘Possible Greenland’ explores the main challenges and opportunities faced by Greenland.

2 CULTURE CENTER

Tourism is a vital economic life line to Ilulissat. From the one-day cruise ship tourists during the summer to longer visits by tourists wishing to enjoy the spectacular scenery, tourism also has a large influence on the town‘s resources and infrastructure.

One of the largest challenges is to establish a considerate meeting between the local culture and the visitor. Next to the existing school, in the centre of Ilulissat, we propose to establish a multi-purpose Culture Centre where citizens can meet for local events - with the nursing home as an integrated part of the building. Thus, the cultural scene is expanded with new exhibition spaces and a main library.

Our hope is for the Cultural Centre to become the point of rotation in the town centre, attracting locals as well as visitors, the young and the elderly - a place where local culture can be shared across generations and continents.

1.MARKET HARBOR

Lack of housing is almost endemic in Greenland. Waiting lists for housing in Ilulissat alone is in the order of five years. If considering the future work migration and the town‘s wish to grow and attract young people, temporary housing is crucial for the area.

Until now, the harbour has been an area closely connected to the sea, and fishing was the traditional connection to the rest of the world. We propose to establish a market for locals and visitors next to the fishing harbour. Adding to this, we suggest temporary housing for workers and students to be integrated in the market plaza, along the harbour edge - an undeveloped area full of potential. Locals, tourists, students and workers from abroad could enliven this otherwise forgotten area close to the centre of Ilulissat.


3.SPORTS PLAZA

Hunting, dog sledding, fishing and sports in general are everyday activities in Ilulissat. All generations engage with nature and sports, albeit the harsh climatic conditions in winter. However, the infrastructure and facilities cannot meet the needs of the population and often youngsters have to stay up late, awaiting their turn to use the overcrowded indoor facilities.

At the heart of the town, the outdoor football field and the sports hall share one of the main streets in Ilulissat as arrival. Capitalising on the long tradition of sports and outdoor activities in the local community, we propose to develop a sports plaza in this location. A flexible cover will protect the football field from the elements in winter, allowing for sports activities to take place all year round.

The street will become an arena for sports events, from the annual sled dog race in winter to football competitions during summer. The aim is to create a street of activity running through the entire town of Ilulissat - with a focus on sports and fitness.

4.ARCTIC HUB

Student migration in Greenland is a serious national concern. Often, young students go abroad to pursue their studies and do not come back. This is largely due to lack of higher education programmes in Greenland that can compete with international curriculums.

On the way to the Ilulissat Ice Fjord, a UNESCO world heritage site visited by tourists and locals alike, we propose to establish a new meeting hub. Aiming to enhance the encounter between students, locals and tourists, the Glacial Hub will offer a new UNESCO office, a tourist information centre and spaces for the new Faculty of Glacial Studies.

The purpose is to attract students from Greenland and abroad to a unique study programme, only offered in Ilulissat. In this way, the new hub aims to enhance the cultural and educational possibilities in town, using the Ice Fjord as the main attractor.

Codan‘s New Head Office25 000 m2 , CopenhagenC. F. Møller1rst Prize CompetitionClient: Steen & Strøm Danmark A/SNEW HEADQUARTERS Cooperation across departments has been the key focus of the proposal for a new head office for the Codan insurance company in Ørestaden.Codan’s ambition to create a working environment that focuses on opportunities to work across departments is fulfilled by placing the interior spaces of the new head office building around a large, glass-covered atrium with balconies at different levels, as well as open stairways.

The varying levels of the balconies create visual contact between the different storeys, and the interconnected stairways and rooms around the atrium are perfect for informal meetings, bringing employees from the different floors together in a natural way. The building’s side wings house open-plan offices where the individual employee’s need for peace and quiet and professional interaction is ensured by grouping desks behind discreet screens.

In the lowest area of the atrium lies the call centre, extending from the other shared functions such as the foyer, canteen and café area. The call centre’s central location is in line with Codan’s idea to emphasise contact with customers and allow the energy-loaded atmosphere in the call centre to permeate the rest of the building. In this sense, the atrium also promotes dynamic professional interaction throughout the building.The new head office is located in a modern urban context, with optimum relations with the surrounding infrastructure. With just 200 metres to the Metro and train station, and direct access to the motorway, there are rapid connections to Copenhagen City, Copenhagen Airport, or Malmö (Sweden).

A NEW FACE FOR THE 5000 STUDENTS MUNICIPAL SCHOOL

The competition plot is inserted in a residential area and it has very good

access by metro, train, bus and car. The plot delimits the central square and

is located in between the built and the green mass of farmland.

It is an important mark for the definition of the urban grid. The pre-

existence, a basic, secondary and high school, for 5000 students, was built

in the 70’s. It is strict, massive and has very dark interiors. It longs for a new

“face” and fresh illuminated areas.

A new school emerges and the old building has to be demolished in different

phases so the classes can be continued while the construction is being made.

Concerning the large concentration of students from different ages in this

set, the proposal is based on a fluid and organic volumetry, adapted to the

rough ground, where all the common spaces are connected linking six

rectangular volumes.

Four of them are the classrooms, each one with different teaching levels.

One is for the administrative functions and the last one is for the canteen

facilities. Stands out the auditorium in a central position, marking the

entrance of the school.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION

Thekey.to is an international event for green fashion, sustainable lifestyle and culture in Berlin. It brings together twice a year, the most innovative and contemporary brands of the international green fashion and design scene, brands at the leading edge in terms of successfully merging style and a responsible approach.

The role of architecture in this event is crucial to make it a success.The building is an old factory that has long open spaces giving the natural feeling of a route and its organization needs to intensify this feature, since the theme for this year was acceleration. By organizing the stands in a longitudinal way, taking advantage of the natural light and playing with the translucent cardboard materials, the atmosphere of the event resulted in a fluid and intensive experience. Each stand had its personal custom-made eco furniture, which made the architectural design a perfect symbiosis for this event.

The event is organized in two main spaces : the Bakery, with smaller stands, 2x2 meters , and more afordable fashion; the Magazin, with bigger stands , 3x3 meters, and high fashion items. There is also an Art exhibition space and a Lounge Cafe.

The main materials use in the design are cardboard in different shapes, colors and opacities. The stands are made with a compact cardboard frame and the interior surface made of translucent cardboard. The backery stands are supported by a metal frame. The Magazin stands are suspense by metalic strings.The furniture is also designed mostly with cardboard and metalic suports. We also incorporated industrial trolleys for clothes exhibitors and tables.All of the stands and furniture were assembled by the designers and events team.

Casa da Música, Casa da Música Metro Station and the Roundabout of Boavista are the urban elements transforming the site on concern in a tension field of pedestrian paths crossing inwards. Therefore, its reformulation urges, so as to contemplate a comercial + residential program, giving special attention to public and private domains.

The proposal area is delimited by two public buildings that re-qualified this urban site: Casa da Música (Rem Koolhaas) and Casa da Música Metro Station (Souto de Moura). The urban restructuration aim is to counterbalance the strength of the iconic building in search of the reestablishment of the existing harmony that was broken by its strong volumetric presence.

It is highlighted a path that establishes a pedestrian connection between the metro station and the roundabout of Boavista, wide opening an initially closed space, with the purpose of redefining the interior patio, reinforcing the connection of the surrounding public spaces, therefore increasing the site’s urban life.A section of the intervention area is detailed, composed of a collective housing program with Deck Access system.
