In this exercice, students were asked to design thirty apartments in a non specific site. Thus, this being the first approach to collective housing, there were two main problems, how to relate both public and private spheres, whilst choosing a specific type of access to the apartments.
The answer was a four-storey building, composed of Studios, Two-bedroom, Three-bedroom and Five-bedroom apartments. The first three apartments combined in a single module and with its own access are replicated in a U shape building. Its corners are the exception with the largest apartments. Both the Two-bedroom and the Three-bedroom apartments are divided in two floors, being the common rooms in the lower level and the private in the upper level.
The whole building is a simple metal structure. Glass panels cover both fronts of the housing complex allowing a great amount of natural light inside the different rooms. Moreover, the common rooms, such as kitchens and living rooms are visually opened to the private garden inside the complex.

The aim of this exercise was to retrain an urban area of Porto city. It was divided in two phases, being the second the development of one of the three sectors from a previous master plan. This master plan consisted in the rehabilitation of a specific headquarter with a new program, mixing housing, offices, shops, public spaces and parking facilities.
The developed sector resulted in the design of a closed condominium, promoting privacy, but, at the same time, openness to a controlled environment. The singularity of this particular building is that it somehow, through the intersection of the public with the private sphere, and the development of its inner divisions and accesses, result in an hybrid form of collective and individual housing.
The main building is composed of three-storey and two-storey apartments. These both invert the common distribution, since bedrooms are designed in the lower floor, and the common rooms, such as kitchens and living rooms in the upper one. This was an opportunity to think about the daily use of the house and question some acquainted standards.

Douros River HOTEL Students were asked to design a five star hotel. Thus, it should incorporate not only one hundred
bedrooms, as well as a bar and a restaurant, but also a Conference Center and a SPA with indoor and outdoor swimming-pool. The given site was a privileged one, especially in terms of landscape. It faced Portos river nearby the sea.
It was always important not only to be able to control the intersection between the public and the private domains, but also the quality, function and comfort for both guests and hotel staff. The result was the construction of a building dividing different areas with different views and outdoor spaces. The public programs are then integrated in different environments in search for variaty in its daily life, sensorial and architectural experience. These common areas form the two-storey base of the hotel which tries to compromise itself to that topography. Bedrooms are organised in a single ten-storey volume. This volume is divided in two heights, the lower with the common bedrooms, facing the private gardens of the hotel, and the upper with the suites, facing the sea and the riverfront.

This exercise was divided in several phases. Thus, it all started with the question, whats your Ideal City? The research was then made within a group of work until some concepts came up. With those concepts the group was asked to project its forms in a specific site. This particular site was quite diverse, showing the results of an apparently uncontrolled growth of the city center to its surroundings, mixing housing with industrial, agricultural and patrimonial areas. Therefore, in the context of urban planning, it was required a master plan. Afterwards, each member of the group should bring up his own ideas and concepts to rehabilitate that territory. The next presentation concerns the development of my chosen area, divided in four sectors. These particular sectors were mainly concerned about a present and local problem, the polluted Lea River. For this reason, the principal goal of the project was the promotion of public spaces while creating several interventions in the extent of a trajectory. This virtual line should start in the train station of a colleagues sector, go through the Lea do Balios Cathedral and end up in an historical and abandoned villa, then converted in a public gallery.

ABSTRACT
The main core of this study is to understand, through an investigation of a specific case, how
Tadao Ando conceives the house. Being so, this study begins from his example, representative of his
architectural basic principles, the Azuma House.
This work that, in a way, represents his maximum space achievement in the seventies, in Japan,
considered by many theorists as belonging to a group of monastic buildings, reflects, with a peculiar
ability, the intermediation of some traditional values with the specific circumstances of its time. This
study is articulated as if it was a compilation of memories of whom, though not being in loco, was willing
to understand the convergence of both tradition and modernity in the design of the house. Starting
from Azuma House, it is an approach of the Japanese culture, in very specific aspects and particularly
in the architectural field. Given the rooted experience of the Japanese way of life, it is implicit that, to
understand the origins of the architect and, by extension, his work, it is important to be acquainted with
part of the cultural wealth of the archipelago. At the same time, it is of great significance the paramount
knowledge of the critical version of Tadao Ando facing the influences of Western architectural thought
of the twentieth century.
Therefore, the work is observed within a framework that seeks to understand to what extent
the Azuma House can be considered as an example which is part of critical regionalism as stated by
Kenneth Frampton in Towards a Critical Regionalism.
Despite the distance from this house, in Manuel Magalhes House, in Portugal, it can be found
some of the purposes and intentions of the first architect, now in the hand of Siza Vieira. This architect,
also in the seventies, sought to find answers to an architecture that discusses the importance of cultural
values, its own origin, even while accepting the opening of his world to the international context. The
instability of the true nature of what is local and what is universal foster a critical position on how to
design and, most surely, determined the construction of a particular case, as it is indeed the Manuel
Magalhes House.
Both houses, either in the Japanese or in the Portuguese context, demonstrate the determination
of the authors in creating spaces where, as the result of creativity, they question the extent of the
architecture.
The building was made possible by the reckless courage of youth, ANDO TADAO IN TADAO ANDO HOUSES & HOUSING
