Posters: The first two posters represent the evolution of a project from planning to detail. Mentors are the architects Helder Oliveira and Miguel Santiago. The third project is rehabilitation and had two different proposals. The first would promote the development of the city (poster left). The second proposal aims to improve existing services and equipment.

TOWN PLANNING STAGE 1 INDIVIDUAL PROJECT - URBANISM

Abstract: The model represents the reality of existing topography, with a new horizontal surface. It is a platform for a new larger road. A solution needed because Covilhã grew up in a mountain slope. This proposal will create more quality in public access, ideal to children, the elderly and people with disabilities…

PORTUGAL Covilhã

LOCATION

About: Covilhã was born in 1186. Today is a city comprised of four historical moments: Historic Centre of XII century, the "Royal Texti le Factories" XVIII century; naming city in the nineteenth century; appointment of UBI university in the XX century. Construction of the first Shopping and many other quality services. Since the 80s the UBI - University of the region is the "engine" of this city. It is characterized as a "university town". On the other hand, is a great tourist attraction, close to the Serra da Estrela mountains for winter sports. It is the site of highest height of Portugal (1993 m). Here, the snow, the fauna, flora and food are outstanding.

intervention area By Google Maps 2011

STRENGTHS: -Good sun exposure; Near-Line railways (CP);-close and direct relationship with the river; -Predominantly green spaces; OPPORTUNITIES: It's a lot of urban terrain, so there is the possibility to define and create infrastructure architecture; -Proximity to wide roads facilitates the creation of an avenue.

Surface area of intervention 253 233,00 m2

PROPOSAL

Name: + CITY Client: UBI – Fac. Architecture Status: 1st place - best urban resolution. Year: 2012 The proposal: Interested in transforming a specific area of the ground, as shown in figure in the colored area of the plane on the left. In this area we have created a platform with a road because the city of Covilha only have public spaces at very inclined topography. With this observation, in the proposal was created a large flat space - in reinforced concrete and saibre coating - which is supported by three of the highest areas, allowing you to pass up a road underneath. Complemented by a large building with multifamily housing with shops and training camps (soccer, tennis, skateboarding).

PHASE 2 INDIVIDUAL PROJECT ARCHITECTURE

1.1 + CITY - When the city of Covilhã need flat spaces, is the foundation of this idea plus (+) in a City. More for public spaces that people enjoy because are plans, so I drew platforms. And just take a little idea of the public space of the Foundation: the long walks (...). 1.2 A NEW IMAGE - All new constructions contribute to something new in a city, but, I say new when building something radical and a City. Was the result of urban planning that organize around a square, characterized as dynamic because it is linear and do not intentionally create a centre. For that its new. The traditional characteristics of “Baroque premise”: symmetry and repetition have been to the background! 1.3 ENVIRONMENTS – What is the beauty of contemporary Covilhã? I want to show the typical construction of Covilhã. The extremely beautiful stone masonry, produces an architecture of an unprecedented fidelity to the ground. I want to employ the granite stone. The medieval city of Covilhã was once the center of much life, flexible in its extreme. This planning is also one of those cities. (…) 1.9 BETWEEN THE STRAIGHT AND CURVED - Its human lines and balance with the organic. Before the project, the motion to traverse this terrain and guided by lines that already existed, organic lines - roads, stone walls and terraces that created the terrain has used for agriculture. Now, this portion of land becomes ”more quieter" because the straight and curved concrete marries with these walls. The square and the buildings lead, and nature seduces ... is this the case? (…) 1:11 PROXIMIDAD AND DISTANCE - (...) I design these forms because I think they are beautiful, but not only. Has more than beauty - lead the eye, and distinguish uses. The viewer is taken to "walk these lines”. The rides that come with the road are lines that guide a square, as well as lines that divert people from this core (square and commerce), from this set of straight lines for garden spaces - ancient agricultural land, which I redesign to have walking paths, to take us to spaces of intimacy ... (...)

INTEGRATION IN SPACE One of the values I like the design of architecture and buildings, is the integration in the environment. To decide what kind of “judgment of taste” we want, for example, i care about who goes by car, and this order of buildings that marked the square was inspired by the continuity of the main road. This care was accompanied by light, creating shadows that sought to avoid, and create only in certain places, such as areas surrounding cafes to the shade of the terrace sunniest day ... COLLECTIVE HOUSING + COMMERCE Program: Building of a commerce floor - shops (cafe, restaurants, mini-markets, cash point, multipurpose rooms and salons). Three floors for housing and cover for many useful / private purposes: a greenhouse - Aquaponics (with cultivation in specific compartments above the ground); sitting area, among other hypotheses under study.

The location of this property presents special features in the urban context of Covilhã, because the road adjacent shaft, Avenue April 25, is a main extension of access to the center of Covilhã (Town Hall Square) is the lower part of the city (district station) crossing one of the main arteries of the city (Rua Marques de Ávila is Bolama) who conducted the North exit, towards the city of Guarda. The intersection of these two roads shape the square (Largo das Forças Armadas) as shown in Figure p. 17. On the left side is the funicular de São João de Malta. In front of Garage (study case) is the Church of São João de Malta. The property locations are the result of the processing of different cultural moments that represent different urban civilizations. Currently, the transformations that occur in Covilhã are caused by changes in pedestrian and road mobility. The Garagem de São João presents itself today with an architecture of industrial type, from the time of the New State (Estado Novo). The plant has almost rectangular shape. With some orthogonal symmetry and geometry, the organization of service areas is compartmentalized: offices, technical areas and sanitary facilities are arranged along the north façade. The south and west, windows of dimension five meters high expose the necessary light to a more public / commercial character of the building.

LOCATION Covilhã

The past was marked with a garage that was abandoned: a bus station, service workshop and commerce cars. This building has acquired a new owner who sought proposals for rehabilitation, and one of the guided tours by Mr. João Neves was understood that a proposal for housing and commerce for the rehabilitation of Garage de São João was already made - so far the project has not progressed for the work. In the beginning, before they have built the Garage de São João, was the plan to make a Movie-theatre. This project was eventually performed by a different architect. The current theater-cine (Town Hall Square) was conducted in 1954 by architect Raul Rodrigues Lima (1909-1980) - Valmor award, 1943.

This virtual model is the final phase of the proposal. The project retains the original structural aspect because the walls and structure are presented in good condition. Justified mainly a renewal of roles in plant, plaster treatments, window frames (doors, windows) and a new roof design.
