from the event, volumes and spaces, till the formulation of the
idea, and give birth to work ready.”

5. Freehand sketches
The ability to free
hand the design is
required as
standard to enter
the course, but it is
during this that the
technical skill that is
improved, because
as there are given
the coordinates for
the main instrument
of the architect: the
sketch.

7. Three-dimensional representation
Through the presentation of an
overview of classes conducted
through theory and history, a
brief and rapid advance, was the
first contact with the architecture.
Provide a little as if composed
this scenario the goal was to be
started before a trip, included in
the curriculum of the University,
which would close the first
contact with some important
buildings in both the architectural
setting as urban. We visited the
major works of Oscar Niemeyer,
mining Baroque architecture,
works of landscaping in Rio de
Janeiro, the grandeur of urban
Brazil, among others. This is the
first long trip with a three-
dimensional representation, the
physical model; each group had
the task of making a
representation in scale of a
building visited.
Ministry of Education and Health (Current: Palácio Gustavo Capanema)
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Architects: Lucio Costa, Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Carlos Leão, Jorge
Moreira, Ernani Vasconcellos and Oscar Niemeyer.
8. Project I : Labrary Sector
The university has a central library, and
some smaller, called sector, located in
each department. After a fixed maximum
length, the program needs in all
environments should contain, and pass
the stage of choosing an architect as a
basis for the development and
theorization of the project, there was a
review of the land, which is located in the
same campus, studies topographical,
climatic, flows, among others. It was
necessary to show that architecture is
not just a building, but that about covers
everything. From the architecture of
Frank Lloyd Wright, based on its
horizontal and body, the space is
composed of the sum of the
environments and the adaptation of the
ground. A composition characterized by
straight and functionality, crowned by an
odd shape that stands out from the
Museum Guggenhein of New York, a
cylinder that formed a more isolated
area, where individual studies are
privileged because of that silence can
be.
The preliminary studies, climate studies,
coordinates sun, flows of people, among
others, created the position of the
building in accordance with best
environmental conditions for comfort and
for users. Maria Fernanda Picotti

9. As a first experience with design, some difficulties were
encountered, including: generating unit and the need to
learn to use a feature to the project and how it operates
rather than include several which may end up making
heavy composition.
11. Prototype Structural System: Bark
To innovate and make big
projects it is necessary to know
each type of material and
understand how it works and
how it resists every form,
positioning and the like. The
discipline of structural systems
has been responsible for our
introduction in reality, where
solid materials such as
concrete, earn slenderness and
lightness in monumental works
such as those of Oscar
Niemeyer. Learning to deal with
the materials and takes them to
the maximum is one of the
biggest allies of the architect.
Analyze structures of works of
major national and international
architects, and had the practice
of operation of each system, by
building a prototype, putting into
practice all the theoretical
learning.
quot;The architect dominates the system and every detail that will be executed,
and the design is its main weapon,quot; this is one of the phrases most
repeated by most of the architecture faculty of the university. Detail is to
ensure that everything runs exactly as described in the project..
12. Project II : School of Basic and Primary Education
Knowing the target audience is
extremely important to be able to
assist you properly. When you
start working with the school issue
was essential to understand the
main point: the child. How she
behaves in certain areas, their
impressions, reactions, among
others. It was necessary to learn
how to work gaps, materials,
colors, every detail, because the
user is one of the most complex
and requires greater care. We
visited schools, talked with
teachers, educationalists,
psychologists and children. We
studied colors, shapes, textures,
barriers, standards, schools
around the world, in Brazil and in
the city in which study, among
others, all of which limits the
project and all points of the guide.
The first, and some of the main
difficulties encountered were: the
proportion of land and a significant
slope, how to work those two
points in relation to the user.

13. Were considered as part of
guidelines for project: sunlight,
ventilation and materials, each
space was designed to have
good conditions of
environmental comfort, to
provide the welfare to the
users. And avoid the most
steps and the greatest
differences in level were left to
the parties unless accessed by
students, to safety. The pure
forms and the space-child
interaction are the two main
points of the project. It was a
simple and regular traffic
preventing the type of quot;school
maze,quot; so that the user would
not be confused in the space
that is available to enjoy.
Explore a wide green space,
bringing the child to direct
contact with nature, led the
project to direct the flow of an
organization where all access
passes and point to that space.

14. Project II : Multifamily Minimum House
The residential houses were popular as
an attempt to remove deficiency of
housing, but usually follow a standard
type, but the house is the dream of the
client, then the proposal is intended to
identify every building, giving an odd
feature for a housing of minimum
dimensions. We studied popular types
of buildings, how to design, such as Le
Cabanon de Courbusier, furniture, and
have to optimize space and give
comfort to the user. A central atrium in
the integration movement and the party
is starting from the environments where
they have formed a plan to cross, which
to compose a pure form a rectangle,
won small courtyards enclosed by wide
wooden rulers.Following a constructivist
line, the materials chosen were: a
wood, concrete and glass.
Project are proposed in two overlapping
sections, with entries for both sides.
The architecture of Tadao Ando has a
plan with a rectilinear layout and a
different way of working the same plan
for the two buildings, creating different
aspects by rotating them, and thus
favoring the two users on the view. A
slab shaded, grams, was the choice to
reduce and minimize the thermal
variation generate better conditions of
comfort, plus get a space that serves as
a garden.

17. Project II : Loft: Working & Living.
A different concept of living brought
the proposal of the Loft, where a
flexible space is divided between live
and work. It is a typology that has
become a trend in the property
market and is considered
synonymous with modernity and
practicality, and is an extremely
versatile space. In examining the
research on the concept of the Loft,
a space that was in industrial
buildings and warehouses in the
United States, which appeared as if
it, as it was used on a volume
without many branches, with few
walls, narrow and long , which
resembles a wagon, a real 'living
machine'. In a land with two
entrances and a large gap, not to
flee the proportion of the
surrounding buildings were worked
two levels, ground floor in the
highest part, and two floors at the
lowest. And so were willing to
segregate the two deliveries
activities live and work. The
openings are for the account of the
glass facades, which show the views
of the building. And the coverage is
a format used by Vila Nova Artigas,
a roof 'butterfly', with a significant
feature of a simple form of
Maria Fernanda Picotti
composition.

21. Project III : Greek Restaurant.
After several studies on the formation and
how a restaurant works internally and
externally, the region of Londrina was
analyzed, and has a significant number of
gastronomic activities, thus to generate
greater typological diversity was proposed a
Greek restaurant in a newly reclaimed area
and inside the city.
Greece, famous for its temples, its orders
of the colonnade and its monumentality,
brings the proportion, symmetry, harmony of
all, the lightness, the way straight and pace,
found the century of Pericles, the Golden
century of the Greeks , where the true and
perfect architecture. The Greeks enjoy
eating well and developed through the ages,
a feature cuisine, considered one of the
most healthy, tasty and varied the world.
The restaurant presents a custom of Greek
social life, including hours around a table
eating, drinking and talking at any meal and
seeking a pleasant space, bringing the
music, hospitality, nature and joy of that
feature people. It is as central courtyard and
access key, a space that evokes the Greek
architecture as a major architectural
element, and at the same time provides
better conditions for thermal comfort,
ventilation and lighting. This space was
used as main access and reception of the
restaurant, the first contacts and visits
faster, for a wine tasting or a quickly they
are there, it has the bar around it, in an area
of service covered.
23. The proportion was taken as a
strong guideline for design. The
patio and plant are composed of
rectangles and golden age only
when classified according to the
required services. The hierarchy in
the heights and asymmetry were
used to show the current identity of
the area, its suitability for time and
place that is being designed. The
water box and central air
conditioners have a high
composition to maintain the
hierarchy of facades. A
reassessment of columns will be
used, not only as architectural
element, but also as a structural
element, implemented in the
different materials used in ancient
Greece.
The main façade was facing the
part where the amount of sunshine
is less, then glazed, this element
will serve as link between the city
and the restaurant. The colors of
the island of Santorini, the white
and blue, and the material most
characteristic of Greece will
characterize the end of the project,
marble, bricks, details in stone.

27. Housing of Social Interest
Housing is one of the major problems affecting the country and home,
dreamed of the way, still remains the target of the majority. To alleviate the
housing deficit that created the 'popular places', which follow a standard
type, then to create new models and assist in the design of houses that are
carrying out the will of the user, were created with dimensions within the
housing proposals for social interest, but with materials and compositions
that makes the project unique, giving individuality to the user. The first
proposal is entirely in wood, wood frame, as is already used in Canada and
the United States, and the second in structural concrete. The two proposals
were worked as a Project Executive in order to facilitate and provide the
implementation of the work.

32. Urban Design: Blend of Social Concern.
The work began with the analysis of an area of
the city of Londrina, a macro analysis, the East
of the city, where the airport, the university
hospital, landfill, among other things known to
the city.
The blend is now defined only after evaluation
of several conditions. We analyzed all the
points that would serve as guidelines for such
deployment: target audience, and the zoning
defined for this, limits, adjacent uses, reliefs,
focal points, important views and areas of
preservation, and access roads, drainage and
buildings surrounding the area. The relief
showed two main views, one of the central
region and the bottom of another valley. Gives
an overview of the city as the background and
the other is the impression of the extension of
green areas of the residents around. Tried to
set the blend to form a space to consolidate an
institutional point of reference in the area and
that has some items that complement,
consisting of a school and a cultural center,
which will act as an extension of the school
environment and enabling the implementation
of various activities. Evaluating the vacuum
and analyzing the initial guidelines, the
implementation of this proposal was in a central
area on the area for the blending, and took a
path for walking, kept as a sidewalk, so the
front hits such spaces are meant for
pedestrians and the access of vehicles held by
the back. To create an inviting area and living,
to people who passed by and by which it will

use the spaces provided, enter the proposal for
Architecture & Urbanism - 2009
two main squares, which complement the area.
