This project is a refurbishment of an old two story building inside a block in Antwerp. As the client used to travel most of the time, he was looking forward to build a house to spend some time with friends a few days per year in his hometown. Along with a large party area, he asked for a single room and a working space. Our strategy was to maximize the open space by concentrating hard functions into glass boxes, and to split common and private areas between floors. Thus, the upper floor (a private part) allows for a room and office area, as well as an exterior space.Concentrating the hard parts of the program in this way also helps to improve hypothetical adaptations for future needs.

The site was an old fish storage facility. The client wished to convert it into a living space, with the only request that it should have room for a pool table.We decided to keep the trusses as they were still in a very good state of conservation and gave a really strong spatial identity. The lower-entrance floor was conceived as a playground. The upper floor was a more private area divided in a sort of two mezzanines - one for the room, the other for the kitchen allowing for a connection to a large terrace. Overall, like in the previous loft, the program was divided between floors so as to split common from private areas. Functional program was also organized inside a glass box that helped differentiate spaces while assuring privacy requirements.

We were commissioned to design a support to hang the pannels of an exhibition. In an early stage of the process, we thought of integrating it in a more complete approach that would conform an exhibition space. Later on, the model would be submitted to severe re-interpretative stills for illustration of a book on a critical history of post-WWII architecture.

Dedalo is a magazine directed by the students of architecture of the School of Porto. The following issues focused on Image form the most diverse fields of investigation such as aesthetics, philosophy or poetry, and its impact on seduction and perception stimuli.

Although the magazine aims at a public of architects, it attempts to open a wide range of related interests, as the discipline has better chances of improving as it integrates knowledge from the most different fields of contemporary thinking.

the site is a beautiful, untouched green slope, without any construction visible in any direction.the focus of the proposal is a development fully integrated into the existing topography, with an intimate relationship to the nature.By having vertical faces as the only visible element, the impact of the building is minimized. the green roofs merge with the existing greenery to continue a carpet of vegetation across the site.A construction grid of 10m x 10m, with an average of 100m² per unit, gives the future tenants a possibility to customize their own apartments, free of structural elements within the 100m² module.

5 - We propose a building that follows the existing topography. Each apartment will enjoy a green roof from the apartment bellow. A continuous green carpet where architecture is almost invisible.

2 - A conventional five-storey block would result in an overexposed building, damaging the paradisiacal landscape.

the typologies of the apartments go from 50m2, 75m2, 100m2 and 125m2. We envisioned the possibility for each person to customize its own apartment.

therefore, our structural grid works as a frame to receive individual apartment modules. We propose 12 different typologies, varying from organization to size, spatial experience, views and location.

tHE Crown

The Crown is an architectural proposal for an Intercontinental Hotel, International Business Center and Luxury Apartments in Armenia’s capital, yerevan. Composed of three buildings at the pinnacle point of yerevan’s northern skyline, the Crown reminisces the golden ages of Armenian history, when its kingdom spanned between the Caspian and Mediterranean seas. Since then, Armenia has endured a tumultuous history and has now emerged as an independent republic competitive in the world of 21st century economics. The Crown of Armenia provides contemporary facilities and accommodation for travel and commerce, to facilitate the economic growth of the nation. The Crown acts as a beacon and flagship that could steer Armenian economy into the new millennium.

satisfy both worlds - the Wallpaper challenge / the Porto center rehab challenge. A typical typology in the city, with some characteristics, conflicts with contemporary living.

Like the Mondrian grid, each room must adjust to its needs. For that, the inner typical staircase and services move to the side, allowing more flex- ibility on the definition of

the program. The house shuffles according to desire, needs, and challenges. The facade represents the tradition meeting the new. The reinterpretation, allows heritage to move on.

typically, the stairs, bathrooms and service functions are located in the middle of the building. this deprives the building of a fluid longitudinal connection.

By organizing the stairs and bathrooms in a longitudinal slice of the building, we gain connections and visibility through the building. Because the programmatic

portion of the house and the circulation slice operate independently, they are able to develop separate identities.

A typical Porto house has a simple section like a tic-tac-toe board, with repetitive spaces and a middle stairwell.

if each room has different demands for space, shouldn’t each room claim the space it needs, more like a mondrian grid, or a cell structure? the result is a collage of different sized rooms stretched and shuffled within a typical building envelope.

SPACES CIrCuLATIOnS 2 ZOnES

A typical facade distributes light evenly, regardless of program.

the traditional Azulejo tiles of Portugal are pieces of art in themselves. When repeated over a facade, the effect from afar is unfortunately reduced to a single tone.

the Shuffle House facade reorganizes the normal grid of windows to strategic locations to provide light to specific locations within.

We propose to celebrate the tile designs by scaling up the single tile design to the width of the building. the design would be composed of individual custom tiles like the historical murals that are preserved in Porto.

Our project for the refurbishment of the Tabaqueira facilities applies a strategic process attending the clients and workers expectations. Beyond pragmatic solutions for functional requirements, our research focused also on current architectural, spatial, functional and programmatic incoherences. Overall, we focused primarily on the open space between the buildings so as to create a continuous folding event in which the subtle shifts of the topography melts the exterior spaces, such as the garden, with the interior functional areas, creating the sensation to be in a campus rather than in a foggy factory.

The site belongs to a small medieval city by the Douro river. Our research led us to understand the relevance of its peculiar traditional values regarding family relations and its interactions inside a house, most importantly highlighting its social space. Furthermore, the city has a strong relation to the river and its unique landscape. The combination of these facts led us to reinterpret culture and landscape in a single event so as to reproduce the spatiality of the river cliffs, placing the social space in a sort of meander offering extreme perspectives. As the private area is allowed to have views over the common one, the social space is in a state of limbo between interior and exterior, having the possibility to open itself completely to the outside with complete transparence. The surrounding site was modeled accordingly, allowing for entrances, views and sun exposure.

Norway has perhaps the best conditions in the world for utilizing offshore wind power. Its coastline is the longest and windiest in Europe. The oil industry has given the country vast expertise in offshore foundations, as well as immense investment capital. It has half of Europe's hydropower to couple wind power. The EU commission has committed to deriving 20% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020. Norway has the capacity to surpass

this goal and become an exporter of the EU's newest tradable good, renewable energy. Norway has already begun speculation on such a venture, yet offshore wind farms are meeting strong resistance, mainly due to misinformation and ungrounded skepticism. What Norway needs to propel wind power is a flagship wind farm to promote and celebrate its newest investment. This exhibition is intended to bring people closer and discuss this matter.
