Museum of the City of Coimbra

The concept of this museum merges from the continuation of the existing urban fabric, allowing the building design. The tensions and the reduced scale created by the narrow streets are transposed in this project by a fragmentation of the volume and for the proximity of each volume.

Housing Complex

The three-store bands accommodate two different apartment typologies. The basement level establishes the pendent of the ground and defines the park. The ground floor establishes the main entrance and its two steps elevation allows the lightning and the ventilation of the basement level – for the laundry, the storage and the parking lots. Each apartment connects with the street but also with the shared courtyard, which provides them a common green field. The double-height living room allows the exploration of a mezzanine as an indeterminate space.

Urban Hotel

Three volumes are clearly distinguished, each corresponding to distinct programs. The access to the lobby, which is placed underneath the street, can be thought as an extension of the street into the building. The main lobby coordinates the three programmatic volumes. The second volume appears as rising from the terrain and overcoming the elevation. It emphasizes a strong relation with the internal quarter, but also develops its own interior with a gardened cloister. This interior/ exterior relation allows a dynamic design of plans according to the slope.

A Shelter for a Peligrin

One stop on the way works as a “pause” mode in one of Santiago’s religious route. Thus, the intervention seeks an idea of having temporary spaces to support a journey between two points. A fluid form emerges of the design of the preexisting paths and dwellings. The main spaces created a new, rest and hygiene areas, allow a constant lightning, ventilation and a clear articulation with the preexisting structures.

City of justice

The project consists of an orthogonal system of concrete pillars and beams, placed on an extensive riverside lawn. The modular structure of pillars is the main key to the definition of the internal spaces as well as to the definition of the rhythm in the façade. A longitudinal axis divides the public areas from the restricted ones through a duplication of circulation space and access points.

Cargo Bar

The aim was to create a space for multiple events during the bathing season. This allows different appropriations according to the type of performance or to the time of the day. We designed an open square intended to be occupied and used for multiple purposes. The waved surface of the freightcontainers is reinterpreted and conceived as a surface for the projection of light and image. This urban equipment will create the opportunity for alternative events such as festivals, concerts, creative or bazaar practices, or even demonstrations, to take place.

Wine Bar with Sami Rintala

The wine bar should contain in itself the movement and the repetition of the train nearby and at the same time allow people to relax. Therefore our design was based on the idea of frames, creating the idea of repetition and movement. After city mayor approved the drawing we had 6 days to build it. Wood details, proportions, furniture and facade details, was all designed during the construction process, in a very dynamic way - discussing, sketching, asking, trying it on 1:1 scale, learning.

Self-made Arena with Dagur Eggertsson

With Casa da Música as a background, a new space for informal meetings was developed. It was designed from the re-enactment of a public arena, open to visitors and people who live this public space. A framed wood structure was created anew and its repetition and progressive bigger dimension designs the sitting points. Proportions, details and structural studies were all developed and discussed during the construction process. Ten days of measuring, cutting and putting the frames together in order to try it on 1:1 scale.

Berlin, how long is now

Master thesis under the title “Berlin, how long is now?”, related with the city of Berlin and the way how the consolidated city gave room to nowa-days cities. It focuses on IBA - the International Building Exhibition, in Berlin (1979-87). The analysis of the urban fabric of Berlin leads to a reinterpretation of the perimetral block, accord-ing to the contemporary needs. The core of this question resides in the relation between the privacy of the house and its location in a build-ing, which is itself a part of the city and commu-nicates with the public space. The focusing topic can be defined as a social domestic scale. It isn’t about drawing a built mass or the abstraction of the full/ empty plan, but the architecture that gives place to the urban project, the thinking of the public space and its connections. This leads

to the conception of the buildings not as isolated objects but integrated in the operative mode of the block. This con-ception shows that it is possible to institute continuity between the traditional city and the recent one, the present and the future expan-sions, without a subja-cent rupture. This inter-mediate position seams those two spheres and creates a third one – the domesticity.

1. In the search for today’s urbanity

More and more, city and society confuse each other. What happens with one reflects on the other. After all, city is the main stage of life, considering that more than a half of humanity lives in urban centres. Despite the privatization of the modern society, architecture tends preferably to the public space over the privacy of house. Nowadays the erosion of the public spaces is seen as a threat to the public sphere.

In the 50s and 60s the Team X1 have debated for a more understanding perception of the social and cultural realities of the city. The objective was to expand the look of the architect by drawing, for example, through the anthropological and sociological observations – a community must be built from a hierarchy of associated elements and it must express those various association levels (the House, the Street, the Block and the City). “The heart of the city” was the theme of the 8th CIAM, where was definitely abandoned the Athens Chart2 and a “fifth function” emerged: the civic centre and the idea of community. After being treated the problem of housing, it focused on understanding the city as a dynamic community and to work what defines it and its core. The Smithson specified that their new concept took into account the human associations (in spite of the functional organization), the identity (peculiar for each habitat), growing patterns and the increasing mobility necessity.

The urban vitality could run to the encounter of the urban diversity. The contemporary metropolis is confronted to accept the current eclectic spirit of the ephemeral and of the transitory – cities functionally obsessed with flexibility and

Storytelling ground

Integrated in the general theme of EURAU’12 – “Public Space and the Contemporary City” -, this essay opens the place for the everyday space, for the unforeseen and then for the unexpected impromptu, exposing the lacks of planning. This unfinished component has a vital essence for the city because it opens the opportunity for new spatial and new senses of spatial approaches. It also emphasizes the missing, the voids and the dele-tions, the replacements or the harmonious con-science of those distinct realities. We can talk about a “talking void”, a storytelling ground. And that can be an important issue to understand the city’s dynamic nowadays. The image that the con-temporary city pretends to create is a complex network of several rela-tionships between the constructed drawing of the city and the

spontaneous individual and collective experi-ences that are going to aggregate with each other and fill the empty spaces of the traditional and rational drawing. A new drawing of the public space begins to be developed and oper-ates in the failures of the planning or – according to time, wills or disuse – with merely obsolete structures.These are the territories that carry out the new spaces of the contemporary city, those that fit as residual urban spaces and correspond to a new conception of the public space.

More and more, city and society confuse each other. What happens with one reflects on the other. After all, city is the main stage of life, considering that more than a half of humanity lives in urban centres. Despite the privatization of the modern society, architecture tends preferably to the public space over the privacy of house. Nowadays the erosion of the public spaces is seen as a threat to the public sphere.

In the 50s and 60s the Team X1 have debated for a more understanding perception of the social and cultural realities of the city. The objective was to expand the look of the architect by drawing, for example, through the anthropological and sociological observations – a community must be built from a hierarchy of associated elements and it must express those various association levels (the House, the Street, the Block and the City). “The heart of the city” was the theme of the 8th CIAM, where was definitely abandoned the Athens Chart2 and a “fifth function” emerged: the civic centre and the idea of community.

The Smithson specified that their new concept took into account the human associations (in spite of the functional organization), the identity (peculiar for each habitat), growing patterns and the increasing mobility necessity.

The urban vitality could run to the encounter of the urban diversity. The contemporary metropolis is confronted to accept the current eclectic spirit of the ephemeral and of the transitory – cities functionally obsessed with flexibility and

formally seduced by the chaos, the desire for stability and the necessity of the instability. Chaos that only exists if we see just its forms and exclude their symbolic content, other way spaces, anti-spaces, places and non-places intertwine, complement and coexist. The image that the contemporary city pretends to create is a complex network of several relationships between the constructed drawing of the city and the spontaneous individual and collective experiences that are going to aggregate with each other and fill the empty spaces of the traditional and rational drawing.

A new drawing of the public space begins to be developed and operates in the failures of the planning or – according to time, wills or disuse – with merely obsolete structures, the ones that Solà-Morales (with a poetic rhetoric) defines as “terrain vague”3. These are the territories that carry out the new spaces of the contemporary city, those that fit as residual urban spaces and correspond to a new conception of the public space. Those are the spaces of the 21st century that will build new cities within the explosive and filled voids cities of the 20th century. In the discussion about the urban voids the most important spaces are not the non-built, but the unoccupied ones, without any function and therefore residuals - open to ephemeral interventions and capable of adapting to different pre-existences.
