ACADEMIC WORKSINTEGRATED MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE _ ISCTE-IUL

The Santos-o-Novo Monastery was build in the beginning of the 17th century in Santo António valley, a peripheral rural area of Lisbon. The architectural proposal intends to an urban redevelopment of the entire area surrounding the monastery and a degraded palace of the same century, regulating pathways and accessibility in a very uneven topography and fixing the relationship of large buildings with the surroundings. Through the creation of two new buildings, which are related, and the conversion of the palace, its new uses are essential factors for the revitalization of this new centrality.

The transformation of an empty area adjacent to the monastery, has resulted in a volume built half-buried that houses the Interpretive Center of the Holy Martyrs of Lisbon. The solution adopted, allows to create a better balance in the relations of scale with the surroundings of the monastery, enhancing the monumental complex. The theme of the permanent exhibition has the particularity of being a founding legend of the city, the Holy Martyrs of Lisbon, to which the monastery is dedicated to. This involvement led to the creation of paths, ascending ramps, in connivance with the legend itself. The main exhibition room, a perfect dome semi-salient on the rooftop, identifies an ideal space for contemplation, meditation and exaltation.

The creation of the new student residence for ISCTE-IUL adjacent to the palace gives the possibility of increasing young population in the area which is vital to its enlivenment and attractiveness. To reconcile this duality, the solution went through the recovery and conservation of the palace, purging it of exterior and interior auxiliary constructions. To the interior of the palace garden, is developed the facade of the new body of the residence that houses most of the rooms, all opened to the Tagus river. The configuration of the new volumes frames the palace and, by manipulating the number of floors of each body, the building is organized and outside areas are distributed.

A new urban space will become the main entrance of the residence, giving relevance to the facade of the original body of the palace, which in this new small square goes to confront directly with the side facade of the church of the monastery, in a new scale ratio. Briefly, in the palace are located the public and multipurpose spaces, main entrance and reception, lounge and study areas, while in the new volume are located the students bedrooms and technical facilities.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS

The ISCTE-IUL stand built for the GREENFEST 2014 sustainability fair was made with a constructive structure previously developed at Vitruvius FabLab of ISCTE-IUL for the international workshop ‘Contemporary living patterns in mass housing in Europe’ organized within project ‘OIKONET: a global multidisciplinary network on housing research and learning’, co-financed by the European Union. It was attended by 50 students and 20 professors of 16 European Universities. “Portela de Sacavém” and “Bairro da Liberdade” neighbourhoods worked as case-studies. The purpose of the workshop was to increment an interdisciplinary dialog to develop an adaptive housing project through customized OSB wood panels and readapt pre-existing houses to contemporary living patterns.

The stand used two OSB ring structures of the workshop containing features of four different projects that were used for different purposes whilst in the fair, combined with a floor and wall for the ISCTE-IUL logo and TV. All the elements used in the stand (plants, tools or clothesline) acted as a way to show the different functions for each housing project.

Overall plan

The project of ISCTE-IUL stand for Futurália 2015 fair in Lisbon proposed to be established as a multifunctional element and totally (re)adaptable to different types of situation.The structural base element is the formal element of the stand – a Greek cross – seeking to communicate the transparency, versatility and contemporaneity. The contrasting element is the cube that will perform as storage, balcony, information spots or stools. The material chosen was birch plywood, a bright, clean material with the required structural needs. The floor in composed with a 2cm wood derivate covered with carpet.

The Futurália 2015 stand was composed with 4 areas: general information spot with a larger reception desk and university info, a storage unit with a large screen to the outside and a big touch screen to the inside, a smaller information desk and the area that unites all the others: the space inside the stand intended to work as a gathering and lounge place, where anyone could pass throught.

With the resource of digital design and manufacturing techniques, this stand pretended to be (re)used for other activities and events. Its modular feature allows for the conception of endless formal arrangements, permitting for its re-organization and incorporation in any other type of space. After the main arrangement at Futurália 2015, the same structure was reused and rebuilt to meet other requirements and purposes, resulting in a different layout.

In the last few years I have been developing some furniture design in Vitruvius FabLab of ISCTE-IUL. Most of it is driven throught the idea of the client’s own requirements, as each product is customizable, both in materials and dimensions. Here there are shown some of those designs.
