Projects:
2014- (ongoing) School of Favelas, a school of architecture in the Favela do Antigo Telegrafo. The residents from the Favela do Telegrafo mostly belong to a low working class. Families mostly reported the lack of spaces for leisure and education for their children. The School of Favela Architecture aims to act as a centrality and in the favela. The pictures in the upper part from the page show the drawings from the project
2014 - Self constructed small square with self generated energy, library (inside benches) and gardening workshops. The plaza was self built in Maceió, Brazil. Brazilian cities are marked by strong inequalities which are reflected in the spatial configuration of its cities, which clearly distinct social socio-economic groups. The project aimed to foster the conviviality of different social groups.
2013 - Side walk and space of conviviality for residents of a Social Housing in Terni (Italy). The inhabitants of the social housing are mostly elderly citizens citizens, young families and immigrants. Interviewed inhabitants reported many challenges, mostly related to the lack of spaces for sociability between the housing blocks and, a serious issue with mobility, since there was no distinction between walking and spaces in which cars could run. Hence, my team designed and self constructed in 72 hours, a prototype of a side walk and a space of conviviality to both stimulate the sociability and interaction of those inhabitants who have such a diverse background and at the same time, prevent accidents with cars. That intervention was worth the first prize of the edition of the competition 72HUA in Italy.
2013 - Urban garden in Hamburg, Germany . The inhabitants of the neighborhood Wilhemsburgh in Hamburg, Germany, are mostly immigrants from as many as 100 different countries. Interviewed inhabitants reported the lack of integration with the local German community. The project, which gathered myself and the French office Atelier Le Balto, aimed to act as a urban common and foster the conviviality among the residents. That intervention part of the “Internationale Bauaustellung Hamburg 2013”, as part of the event “IBA 48 stunden.”
