Guosen Tower Shenzen, China

Shenzhen Guosen Securities Tower is a skyscraper with a zig-zag channel cut into the

façade in wich lobbys, public spaces and gardens are arranged along this diagonal void,

whichl also forms a 200 metre-high atrium for the building’s entrance hall. The 200 metres

tall glazed building incorporates 68,000 square metres of office space and retail units up

to the first floor.

The project is born from the intention to create a new concept of vertical public space for

the tower. A three-dimensional void will be arranged along the facades giving a dynamic

image to the building and creating different public scenarios for the offices.

The design of the void shape explores the relation between the podium and

the vertical section of the tower with diagonals spaces and fluxes that create a

vertical tension in the full height of the tower.

Guosen Tower’s distinctive façade atrium, with an energizing and dynamic form,

will establish a new symbol for the CBD skyline. With its 200m height space,

the tridimensional atrium will be the highest lobby in Shenzhen. The public

spaces, lobbies and Sky-Gardens are interconnected along the tridimensional

void of the atrium creating a stream of light, images and activity. The building

itself will be symbolically open to the city along the great façade atrium.

The Tower’s design integrates the values of connectivity and trade fluxes of

Shenzhen CBD into an innovative vision for a XXI century tower. Integrated

in the complex skyline of the CDB, Guosen tower will respond with a pure

external glass volume. All the complexity happens in the internal

network of public spaces that are placed strategically in the

facades taking advantage of the views and visibility according

to the urban context. The upper levels of the building include the

office complex of Guosen Securities, with an access highlighted

by a triple height sky lobby. The very top levels are dedicated

to the executive’s offices, including a sky garden and club room

levels that offer a spectacular 360-degree panorama across

Shenzhen CBD. Guosen Tower will be the first ecological tall

building in Shenzhen with an instantly recognizable image into

the city skyline.

Rhike Park auditorium/gallery Tbilisi, Georgia as a colaborater in Studio Fuksas

Categorized as Concert and Exhibition Halls, the project is committed by the Tbilisi

Development Fund. The building consists of two different elements that melt together,

with a respective angle of 29 degrees. They hang on like a unique body at the wall

restraint.

The functional programme is according to the shapes: to each element corresponds an

exclusive function. Both parts have similar shapes but arranged differently in the space.

and creates a belvedere, the Exhibition Hall reclines to the ground with a huge

entrance.

The part of building which contains the Exhibition hall is composed by jutting

floors that accompany the visitors from the entrance level to the street above.

The escalators allow the vertical connections and are positioned to help a

circular flow for visitors. A secondary entrance is positioned at the street level. A

Conference Hall (80 seats) on level +4,00 m and a Cafeteria on the upper floor

at level +17,50 m complete the functional programme of this part of the building. The other element contains the Concert Hall (443 seats), the Foyer and

Cafeteria, and several facilities: the Artists Wardrobe, the Warehouse

and the Offices. The area closest to the wall restraint is principally used

like private space: Warehouse, Wardrobe and Services.

Functional program preview Administrative and Directors offices. They

will be set in the inner part of the building and will air out by the sides

of the building and by the air chamber between the wall restraint and

the wall of the building.

The proposal includes a square that allows the visitor to enter by the

upper street and that organizes a secondary entrance for the public and

for the employers. This square is covered by the building, creating an

impressive facade that can be used to project the exhibition and concert

planning on the Auditory wall.

The whole building contains 4.746,00 gla square meters. Public parking

(2.500 places) is set close to the South entrance of the park.

Casa das Histórias is a museum dedicated to Paula Rego, one of the most notorious

portuguese contemporary plastic artists.

The site for the building is a former tennis court set amidst a grove of established trees.

The land and the trees are incorporated as fundamental elements, while four wings, of

varying heights and sizes, make up the building, turning its shape into a collection of

forms that reflect the internal spaces of the museum.

It is immediately recognizable by the two pyramidal towers, inspired by the chimneys at

Sintra Palace, that stand out from the other lower volumes in the

architectural composition. A winding path leads to the entrance

which, surprisingly, makes a slight inflection. Despite the sobriety

of the building here begins to be unveiled part of its complexity.

The building itself is subdivided into rooms which lead into one

another and are laid out around the higher central room which

houses the temporary exhibition.

The building’s interior has 750m2 of exhibition space, on top of

the technical and service areas. The building also houses a shop,

a café which opens onto a verdant garden and an auditorium

with 200 seats.

At the Casa das Historias, the galleries tell the story of Rego’s

own life and work. The story unfolds as you walk from room to

13

room. There are moments of intimacy, such as at the north-west

corner of the building where a small chamber juts out from a large

gallery to provide an intimate setting for a series of drawings, and

to provide a domestic setting, a place to rest and to enjoy views out

to the garden. Apart from that instance, the interior of the building

seems disconnected from its setting. Inside, the architecture is

muted and restrained, ‘the building ceases to exist’. Neutral shades

and materials remain the same throughout: chalky grey walls that

seem to echo the chalkiness of Rego’s own pastel drawings; and a

dark grey Bluestone marble, full of imperfections and fossils, which

is quarried locally in Cascais.

The building’s design is fully in keeping with the artist’s wishes.

On the exterior, the red-tinged concrete shuttered with planks of

timber in a herringbone pattern unifies the building, heightening its

surreal and metaphysical expressiveness.

In the West part of the resort is located the project area, a sloping terrain in which 3

platforms at 3 different heights were constructed in order to accompany the road. Each

one of these platforms corresponds to a different housing typology.

The highest up view the sea lengthwise and have a court yard at the back; a U-shaped

section in the middle half enclosed in the terrain with a courtyard at the front and those

further down face the road and enclose a central courtyard.

All 3 different typologies have green roofs since the concern was to fit all the housing

into its natural surroundings creating an architecture integrated into and influenced by

nature.

Campo Alegre auditorium Porto, Portugal Individual work

The aim of this personal project is to create a support infrastructure in Campo Alegre,

a dynamic upcoming part of Oporto, developing into the second city center, the new

downtown.

The site, being surrounded by a main access road clearly contributes to intensify that

dynamic. As a response to this high level of motion and conflict, which tends to profoundly

interfere with the population daily life, already overburden by their everyday obligations

and frenetic lifestyle, the proposal is set to relieve all those tensions, through the neutrality

of shapes and the creation of a spacious green public area.

The design concept is a compact constructed mass, sliced

by two connections from the street level directly to the

green space, creating three perfect box shaped buildings,

semi-buried due to the unevenness of the ground.

With origin in the same mass they have the same materiality:

a polycarbonate skin, on the south a glass facade, turning

to the green space and riverside, using them as sceneries

to the events that take place inside.

Although the abstract shape and materiality, their

translucency permits the passer-by to recognize the

program: in the West a parking lot building, in the center a

multifunction pavilion and in the East the auditorium. 19

The auditorium is one of these three buildings. Its hinge is a wall with a lifting system opens up the possibility of an optional change of transforming these two auditoriums into one mega

auditorium of 700 posts. The cafeteria has got about 300 posts and communicates directly with the landscape, by what it is the second entrance of the building. This offers the possibility of this

established relationship between the building and its natural public space, even when the auditoriums are not being used and, therefore, the upper part of the building is closed.

The axle of the mechanical wall is the hinge that divides the building into two different parts: one, the biggest is formed by the

big auditorium, the hall and the diner; the other by the smallest auditorium, the services needed to support the auditoriums

and the administrative services.

The access is entirely made through the Campo Alegre Street because it is the one with more pedestrian circulation.
