My passion for the arts has followed me throughout my life. It has played a fundamentalrole in my upbringing and choices ever since I can remember.

There are several people to whom I attribute these choices and the path I've decided totake as a student, the first and foremost being my father whose conceptual guidelines andperspective have always been very linear and simple: to focus all of his passion and labouron Photography

Although raised amid very strong artistic influences from an early childhood, it wasn't untilhighschool that Architecture was brought into focus as a very personal interest, especiallydue to an Art History class I undertook in my second year.

My first two years in Universidade Autonoma de Lisboa were deeply shaped by theteachings of professors Manuel Graça Dias (first year) and Manuel Vicente (second year) -architecture as a free and liberal art.

The third year, much unlike the aforementioned two, brought to light a much sternerdisciplinary process of thinking Architecture, one that favours the project's proceduralcoherence over the artist's individual abilities, having been taught by the architects RuiMendes and Ricardo Bak Gordon.

After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I decided to take on a more practical approach,

actively seeking architecture-related work or internships. This turned my attention towards

the more technological study of architecture, though never neglecting its theoretical

construction, which is still the foundation of architectural thought.

I think there is something fundamentally wrong in most of Portugal’s degrees in

architecture - the fact that they do not assign the technology of constructions its proper

value. This means, of course, that the students are not interested in this particular area,

and even though the burden of work and learning fall on the student, the universities

should be more concerned with stimulating this side of architecture.

This is the main reason why I’m so interested in Instituto Superior Técnico. It is the only

degree which I feel offers the conditions to nurturing the technique, the minuteness, and

the attention to detail that can strengthen my projects’ consistency.

SUMMARY:

!"#$%&#$"'()*##*+

My passion for the arts has followed me throughout

my life. It has played a fundamental role in my

upbringing and choices ever since I can remember.

There are several people to whom I attribute these

choices and the path I've decided to take as a

student, the first and foremost being my father

whose conceptual guidelines and perspective have

always been very linear and simple: to focus all of

his passion and labour on Photography

Although raised amid very strong artistic influences

from an early childhood, it wasn't until highschool

that Architecture was brought into focus as a very

personal interest, especially due to an Art History

class I undertook in my second year.

My first two years in Universidade Autonoma de

Lisboa were deeply shaped by the teachings of

professors Manuel Graça Dias (first year) and

Manuel Vicente (second year) - architecture as a

free and liberal art.

The third year, much unlike the aforementioned

two, brought to light a much sterner disciplinary

process of thinking Architecture, one that favours

the project's procedural coherence over the artist's

individual abilities, having been taught by the

architects Rui Mendes and Ricardo Bak Gordon.

Project I

Student Residence, Lisbon,Photography

Portfolio

The project aims to create a student residence. Therefore, as

an early concept, I’ve granted the first two floors a more open

and social character so it can have a greater livelihood.

An important aspect in the building’s relation to the outside is

the possibility to separate two particular areas with a three-

meter-high natural slope. Consequently, both the north and

west fronts are in a higher ground when compared to the south

and east ones; there is an entrance to the building on the

higher ground through a ramp which creates a gentle and

controlled entry.

On the right side there is the reception desk and on the left the

gymnasium which is itself made of a small reception desk and

an open space for the machinery. There are two bathrooms

down the hall of this floor and also a staircase that is lit by a

window of considerable dimensions. The lower floor is made of

two very large, well lit rooms, of which one is lit by a window

that goes all the way to the floor (on the other side of which an

outside pool can be found, making it more suitable for yoga

classes or other relaxation-based activities), and the other is lit

by a window that is 1.8 meters high and 1.2 meters wide,

blocking any outside view from within it, though lighting it,

making is more suitable for more private classes, such as

squash or kickboxing. On the rim of the gymnasium the

outside pool stretches itself into the gymnasium through a

looking glass such that while a strong relation between the

gymnasium and the housing parts of the building is created, it

Project I

is impossible to go from the indoor pool to the outside one and

vice versa.

The library and art gallery space also has its entrance on the

higher ground of the land as a small triangular console that

prevents a dysfunctional corner on the inside and creates a

small storage unit for the equipment. Past it, we find first the

library as a more open space of entry inside which there is a

storage unit for books and bathrooms which are controlled by

the same counter as the gallery.

The library’s outside space is the rooftop of another volume

which has its lighting done necessarily vertically by sinking part

of the upper surface, which not only enables said lighting but

also creates a safety boundary for its walkable rooftop which

faces a natural landscape through a 10 meters wide and 3

meters high rip in the construction while being surrounded by

all three volumes which make up the housing, creating thus a

harmony between the protection of construction and the

openness of landscape.

The gallery takes advantage of the land’s slope by having a

mezzanine that creates two different heights of headroom for

two distinct spaces. Its lighting is done by a big window placed

3 meters high and facing east, which, since it’s also 3 meters

away from the ceiling in the double spaced headroom area,

makes for good lighting on the ceiling. Because it’s not too

near the mezzanine, this window allows for a controlled flow of

light into the gallery.

Project I

The land which was initially split in half keeps this concept

throughout the whole building up to the pool which uses this

natural slope as a connection the upper floor, emphasizing the

clash between that which is pure landscape and the vertical

grandiosity of construction. Although hinted by particular

lighting conditions, this upper floor’s use is purposefully left to

its proprietors.

The housing buildings are organized by floor in twos: in the

lower floor we can find the common rooms with kitchens, as

well as a few rooms while in the upper one we can find most of

the rooms equipped with bathrooms. There are outdoor spaces

in each of the floors, being that while in the lower one these

spaces are wider and more social, in the upper floor they are

smaller and more private, relating more to each room

individually rather than to a common area. This dissonance

between each of the upper and lower floors allows for a 3 or 6

meters tall outdoor area in the lower floor. In two particular

instances, when lighting the outdoor areas was necessary, the

rooms’ volume breaks off, sinking its headroom over the

kitchen, allowing for two distinct spaces to develop in the

room: an upper section ideal for studying and a lower one

(50cm) in which the beds are placed. In this lower section the

headroom is also sunk, heightening the rip of light by an

additional meter.

As a result of this layout, the student can opt for a smaller,

more private space (namely his room and the outdoor area

Project I

Portfolio

adjacent to it) as well as for a wider, more social space (the

common room with the kitchenette); this is because in a

student residence we can break the idea of privacy as thought

of in normal housing, since there is strong encouragement of

sociability. In the common rooms we can find a counter with all

the cooking-related apparel and although it can be divided into

two areas (one more private, interior, and one more public)

this division is easily broken as the window making it can be

fully opened, combining these two areas into just one. The

outdoor areas vary according to whatever which way the

modules are facing, so as in the ones facing north we can find

smaller outdoor areas and larger indoor ones while in the ones

facing south we can find just the opposite, creating a variety of

choice for residents since social dynamics also change through

this distinction. So, while to the north the rooms are for fewer

people (single or double), to the south the rooms are meant to

relate to more ample and social areas, being thus for more

students each, though there are still single and double rooms.

There is also the possibility of requesting a room with personal

bathrooms and which have easier access to (since they are in

the ground floor), making them more socially comfortable.

Two elevators in a single shaft make up for the access in each

of the housing units, as it will be the prime choice of the

students, due to the extensive height of the modules. The

entrytowards the elevator shafts varies from module to

module, being the case that it is always covered and of ease of

access due to potential emergencies.

Strategy / Regional analysis:

Trafaria village is mostly found inset in a region with null

elevation, creating thus not only a very intricate connection to

the river Tagus, but also a very strong, visual one with a

terrain of higher (and natural) ground. It had come to be used,

over the years, as a particularly important focus of military

construction so nowadays these constructions have become

obsolete, and were promptly abandoned. The first construction

to be acknowledged refers to the 17th century: a large wall

facing Tagus. The remaining three, however, are more recent,

dating back to the 20th century and are found in the highest

point of Trafaria.

The proposal is that we value the land by indentifying and

reusing the military heritage, creating a path that connects all

four constructions and its various elevations in the land in

which Trafaria is set.

Prison Fort (1) – This first construction is located at Trafaria’s

entrance and, since it is in direct contact with the village, a

more temporary project is proposed, a culture hub.

Alpena Fort (2) – Since this is a large-scaled construction

endowed with a clean view over the river and a large field, a

more permanent and more public project than the

aforementioned is proposed.

Raposeira Fort, 2nd battery (3) – Due to the high density of

vegetation and trees and its seclusion from the path, a more

intimate project is proposed, namely an area for rooms.

Raposeira Fort, 1st battery (4) – Although it is also framed by

a dense thicket, the 1st battery is not as detached from the

proposed path as the 2nd one. Therefore, though intimate it

may need be, a more public trait is required, and so a hostel is

proposed.

New Building (5) – It is the culmination of the path. Its

objective will be to strengthen the highest point in Trafaria and

will complement the first one by creating a different, very

particular public space.

Portfolio Project II

Program:

The proposal of the construction of the new building as an

exhibition room arises with the purpose of effectively

completing the path that leads up to it, the highest elevation,

so as to strengthen the will to walk the path fully.

The 1st battery of the Raposeira forts, made into a hostel,

comes as a final military construction whose new program

means to balance the public (as given by its close relation with

the path) and the intimate (as given by its small scale and

surrounding flora), so that a hostel is then proposed so as to

be both acknowledging of the surrounding space and quite

interactive in a more public condition.

The new Trafaria Center for the Arts (exhibition rooms) is

presented by a circular shape and is, as a whole, inset in the

same elevation height in order to be able to truly and clearly

belong to the land. Its circularity is foreshadowed throughout

the path by the cannons, and its measures are defined in

accordance with the scale of the 1st battery.

Its concept as a space arises from the desire of radicalizing the

imposition that the forts have on the land, being able to clearly

draw out outdoor spaces in nature, such that the new space

which spans circularly opens up to the sky and isolates itself

from its surroundings.

Programa:

O desenho de uma nova construcção, com um programa de centro de exposições, surge com aintenção de rematar o percurso no limite topográfico da cota mais alta da Trafaria, de modofortalecer a intenção de percorrer todo o território.O forte da 1ª Bateria da linha de fortes da Raposeira, convertido num Hostel, aparece como últimaconstrucção militar, o seu novo programa é escolhido de modo a conseguir equilibrar um localpúblico pelo seu enquadramento com o percurso, e ao mesmo tempo intimista pela sua escala,sendo que um hostel aparece então como um programa que aceita bastante bem os espaçosexistentes e consegue interagir com uma condição de espaço público.A implantação do Centro de Artes da Trafaria (centro de exposições) apresenta uma forma circulare insere-se todo na mesma cota de modo a conseguir pertencer de uma forma clara e óbvia aoterreno. A sua planta circular já vai sendo marcada ao longo percurso pelos canhões, e a suaescala é definida tendo em consideração a escala do forte da 1ªBateria.O seu conceito enquanto espaço surge do desejo de radicalizar a imposição que os fortes militaresexercem sobre o terreno, conseguindo desenhar espaços exteriores claros no meio da natureza.Sendo que o novo espaço desenha uma forma circular que abre-se para o céu, isolando-o de todaa envolvente.

The hostel as the program for the 1st battery of the Raposeira

forts comes with the purpose of turning the area into an

accommodation zone while staunchly preserving the existing

construction.

The room area is adaptative to the pre-existing module: three

well lit areas intertwined by a central divisor, which contains

the common room.

The common room powers the bedrooms with electricity and

holds the bathrooms, being primarily a place for public get-

together.

The preservation and reenactment upon this abandoned space

is materialized foremost through the application of new

coatings on its comprising elements.

A diferença de cota que o espaço circular proposto impõe sobre o terreno cria um momento detransição gerado por uma rampa que força um distanciamento de tempo e espaço em relação atoda envolvente.A nova construção assume-se sem programa definido de modo a conseguir facilmente adaptar-sea eventos temporários. A sua planta circular tem o objectivo de tornar claro a intensão de valorizaro céu como única paisagem, sendo desenhados apenas dois espaços interiores, que somando aoespaço de acesso à rampa forma um conjunto de três vãos circulares. O primeiro espaço desenhauma possivel biblioteca que oferece uma função ao edificio durante todo o ano e duas salas deapoio (arrumos e um camarim), o segundo contem outro acesso feito por escadas queestabelecem uma ligação visual com o forte de São Lourenço.

The difference in elevation imprinted on the land by the

circular space creates a moment of transition through a slope

which forces a detachment in both time and space from all

surroundings.

The new construction is purposefully deprived of a specific

program so as to easily adapt to temporary events. Its circular

plan aims at making clear the intention of valuing the sky as

the only landscape, such that only two separate areas are

drawn out on the inside which, when added to the entry slope,

make up for a set of three circular spans. The first area is

possibly a library which establishes a function for the

construction throughout the year, and holds two support

rooms: a storage unit and a dressing-room. The second area

holds another entry point comprised of a staircase which

establishes a strong visual connection with São Lourenço fort.

Pormenor Constructivo:

O edificio, ao impor-se no terreno, dominando um novo espaço circular semi enterrado necessitade uma materialidade que consiga traduzir a sua força. O betão ciclópico aprece como melhorsolução por ser um material que trabalha muito bem à compressão e que consegue de uma formaeconómica ganhar a espessura desejada. No interior da esfera aparece um betão projectado demodo conseguir uma maior dinâmica de espaços exteriores, a sua cofragem é fabricada commódulos de 4x4m seccionados por uma diagonal de modo a obter uma estereotomia espiraladaque consegue fortalecer a tensão desejada que é criada ao logo da rampa no momento de entradano espaço exterior do edificio.Os vãos são encerrados a partir de portas em grelha metálica de modo a resolver possiveisproblemas de humidade, conseguindo ao mesmo tempo enfatizar a estrutura de betão comoelemento mais duro e estrutural.

Construction Detail:

By imposing itself on the land and dominating the new semi-

sunk circular space, the building needs to be materialized in a

way such that its power is embodied. The cyclopean concrete

(roman concrete – the cement is mixed with the raw local

stone) is thus the best and most viable material for the

construction since it is highly tolerant of compression and can

acquire the desired thickness economically. Inside the sphere

it’s used projected concrete in order to grant a strong dynamic

with the outdoors, which formwork is made up of 4 by 4 meter

modules aligned by a diagonal so as to emerge a spiraled

stereotomy which can strengthen the tension created

throughout the slope from the very entrance of the building.

The windows are shut by series of doors laid out in a metallic

grid that can both solve possible humidity problems and

emphasize the hard concrete structure as a raw construction
