Portfolio (2003/2012)pedro sousa santosr. boavista, 124560-773 SANTIAGO DE SUBARRIFANAPORTUGALt.(+351) [email protected]
This portfolio is a compilation of some of my work while attending DAAUM(Departamento Autónomo de Arquitectura da Universidade do Minho, Guimarães, Portugal) between 2003 and 2008. Some other works after University are also included within.These projects represent a continuous learning process in architectural perception and its cultural understanding. To express this, I use drawings,sketches, 3D models (both virtual and physical) and photos. This way, I intend to demonstrate and project my creativity and skills.

Projecto III (2005/2006)CASASDOURO (single dwelling) - From the river Douro valley, a noble territory of portuguese wine culture, the proposal for a house (both functional and representative), with the goal to give back to the territory architecture that is simultaneosly discrete, intentioned and intense.This project is located in the lush landscape of the Douro, an area consisting of vineyards and olive groves that give it a very interesting dualtexture. The programme of the project proposed the union of two primary functions: housing and cellar. It is curious that the theme of duality can beunderstood on the terrain and in the building itself: vineyard and olive grove - work and live.In order to reinforce this duality, the building consists of two separate volumes: on the North side we have the production area, on the South side lies the representation area and dwelling. These are linked by an outdoor patio that is above the pool and is open to all the property, the Douro River and all its surroundings. A project considered “on the threshold of beauty” by the portuguese architect Nuno Brandão Costa, during the fi nal evaluation of this subject.

Projecto III (2005/2006)CASASRÁPIDAS (colective housing) - With nowadays multiple ways of living and the strangling public promotion we’re forced to question thestandardizationf of life.The plot is located in the suburbs of Guimarães, Portugal, and it’s a mixture from diffuse texture of two elements: large industries and scattered housing. To create the transition between elements it has been proposed a solution composed of two volumes. A larger, taller, high ground, open into the plot. Other, lower, searching for kind of living more similar to the single family dwelling.

Projecto IV (2006/2007)Library (public building) - The project of the University Library is responsible for promoting both internal and external balance creating a dialogue between Guimarães and the University. It should be also understood as a monument of the city, capable of aggregating and motivate urban structure.
12
The University Library is placed at the edge of the West campus, coinciding with its entry. Being the purpose of the exercise the creation of a building that serves both the University and the city, the volume is positioned in the transition of both, taking the opportunity to stretch,the campus, accentuating its longitudinality. It also serves to defi ne the entrance: by the presence of the library (full), as well as the square created in front of it, which is nothing but the volume itself folded (empty).

The building is based on an orthogonal grid of fi ve by fi ve meters. All divisions existing in it are multiples or submultiples of this modular measure. The voids have one module width, spaced every ten meters and fi ve modules of length, equal to twenty-fi ve meters. The total size of the building is six modules and a half by thirteen modules.

In plan, the building suggests two movements: longitudinal and transverse. All circulation takes the longitudinal direction, and in the opposite way, the entire programme is organized transversally as if distributed along a corridor that aggregates other corridors. The logic holds up to four fl oors. Only the fi rst fl oor entry is not made by the ramps that run the whole length of the building, which does not disturb the longitudinal/transverse order already mentioned above. Aiding this distribution, there are also the slits in the big volume which extend into the fi eld, helping to fi xate the library, while allowing a second entrance, more private and exclusive from the already referenced fi rst fl oor. The remaining three levels of the building have a more public nature.Helping to defi ne the functional space between the slits, and also as a way to close the more static space intended for work, there is a volume composed by stairwells, elevators and toilets. This runs through the building vertically and brand presence on all fl oors, reinforcing the notion of unity.

The choice of materials is in accordance to the project’s intentions. In order to enhance the idea of a solid volume, we chose white concrete, for the clarity and lightness that this material gives the whole building. The stereotomy was not neglected: a submultiple of the modular measures in plan was also used on the walls (for the shuttering were used two meters by one meter and twenty-fi ve plates). When it comes to the interior of the library, we can fi nd materials like wood (fl oors, doors, baseboards and trims) and stone (like paneling and fl oor covering, on the working areas on the fi rst fl oor and in the bathrooms), plaster, glass and all steel frames. Here, the intention is to give priority to comfort.

Architecture Communication in Digital Era: a proposal for a photographic archive is a portrait of the modern world, based on the internet and the projection of architecture by the use of photography. In a background of constant evolution, the demise of such a subject is brought short by the mutability of reality associated with time and we should know how to act in this situation. Looking to be a reference in architectural photography, fotoarq assumes itself as more permanent, where the importance of the image confi rms the time fi xation. In this sense, the dissemination of imageshelps to enhance the sensitivity to the themes of architecture in a broader context. You can offer a wider audience, more and better architecture, helping to inform more and more people.

Loreak Mendian - Stroke Contest (2009)Having in mind the theme of the stroke (the stroke of a pencil on white sheet, the stroke of a drawing made with a rope, the stroke of a blackribbon...), clothing brand Loreak Mendian decided to create a contest in wich the stroke played an important part. In order to allow equal chances,every participant must use the same materials, provided by Loreak Mendian on their selling points. The working kit contained a black tape and a brand sticker. The black tape must be sticked over a white T-shirt as if it was a marker. There are no limits, except for the obligation to use the aforementionedelements. The prize consisted of a weekend in San Sebastian (with a visit to their headquarters) and the production, in a limited number, of the winning design.

edit! - RPMRes i den tial com plex of 50 000 sqm with addi tional pub lic ser vices and com mer cial retail units in Modrany, Prague. Starting from a perpendicular division of the plot towards the river and the road surrounding it, box-like volumes were placed according to these lines. Next came the defi nition of the main cores with their vertical communication infrastructure (stairwells and elevators). Moved down the space between these cores, in order to create the appropriate density buildings, and rotating slightly each one of them having in mind a better orientation for each tower. This movement helps defi ning the public areas between buildings. Also, it must be noted that this way, all apartments have views of to the river and almost all of them also have outdoor spaces oriented to West or East.

edit! - ACUOAcuo is an inter ac tive audio-visual instal la tion for pub lic spaces. It is based on the con cept by Michal Šeba, with the sup port of munic i pal projects BU2R. With its shape and func tions, Acuo resem bles a cos mic mod ule which has landed in the city to observe the affairs around. Acuo sees and hears in a way dif fer ent from ours. It scans the world with six micro phones and three cam eras; then it trans mits the envi ron ment thus cap tured to the inside, to emit a spa tial audio expe ri ence and to screen it through a LED sys tem onto all of its inner walls. At the same time, Acuo trans mits the sound around it through a ter res trial FM radio sig nal and streams both audio and video online to its acuo.cz base. There, this record ing is archived for future gen er a tions. In addi tion, the mod ule is equipped with a “periscope” with a highly sen si tive direc tional micro phone; this enables theaudi ence to cap ture audio details of the city com mo tion. The crew is made of the passers-by; inside the Acuo mod ule, they can expe ri ence the city in another way, they can ana lyze the events out side while con tem plat ing the end less vari abil ity of indi vid ual out put mod i fi ca tion. From a brand new per spec tive, the vis i tors can expe ri ence the sound map of a place they walk through every day, with out the abil ity to thor oughly per ceive or listen.

edit! - MPBSmall family house of about 100m2 in Prague, Czech Republic.The project makes the connection between the road and the plot by fi tting its back to the slope and opening towards the garden. From the street you can only see a house-shaped volume, with a traditional roof, wich is a demand from the local regulation.On the entrey level there is a small offi ce/room, bathroom and storage, as well as a staircase to access the lower level. On the ground fl oor are distributed all the remaining programme: rooms (private area) by the far sides, and kitchen and living room (public area) in the center, with full view towards the garden.
