E Q U E S T R I A N G A R D E N 

Main intention of the project is to question residential typologies 

in Doha. When the residential typology in Doha incorporates 

some other program beside residential there is a clear difference 

developed vertically or horizontally. A border which makes 

it just a neighboring program rather than incorporate and intentional, 

so that the programs can benefit from each other. 

The volume of the building is distributed so mix use program is 

set up in the center of the site. Residential units are distributed 

on the periphery of the site, enabling units to be two side oriented, 

with terraces and gallery access. 

The residential units have direct floor to floor access to all mix 

use programs such as gym, cafe, restaurants, shops etc. Mix 

use program is in the same time accessible for external guests 

and inhabitants of the units. Certain floors are fully private 

enabling exclusive access to inhabitants to certain programs.

DohAlive is a mixed-use development which addresses the 

functional and organizational concerns of public space in the 

city of Doha. It introduces unique spatial qualities by fusing the 

mixed-use program with the surrounding community and by 

connecting it to the urban fabric. This connectivity infiltrates the 

project with a series of interconnected spaces through the mass 

of the building providing visual connectivity and interest while at 

the same time flooding the spaces with natural light. The use of 

transparent and permeable surfaces are used to spatially and 

visually connect Hotel and Retail areas, further aided by the 

curvilinear shapes and sophisticated angles which encourage 

fluid mobility and exploration.

New Slata is a new approach for a mixed-use building in the 

Middle East where multiple uses come together to complement 

each other and the surrounding community. The building 

houses eight different uses of commercial and community 

programs. The uses are organized like Islamic patterns where 

every program intersection acts as a node. The intersections of 

spaces become hybrid programs acting as micro-urbanisms of 

intensified centres of cross-collaboration.

Set among sand, sea and rocky terrain, the resort’s Main Building 

eliminates physical and visual barriers by forming a relationship 

with its surroundings and blurring the distinction between 

manipulated and actual topography. The building accommodates 

the resort’s main food and beverage outlets, front and 

back-of-house areas, and public and leisure facilities. The 

building attempts to tackle the resort industry’s largest obstacle, 

“how can program adapt to seasonality”? The building’s unique 

temporal arrangement of program addresses this obstacle. In 

embracing topography, the building experience is intensified by 

the different circulation paths, relative to distance and time.

Uakti is a Brazilian instrumental musical group that is composed of 

Marco Antonio Guimaraes, Artur Andres Ribeiro , Paulo Sergio Santos 

, and Decio Ramos . Uakti is known for using custom-made instruments, 

built by the group itself.The site is placed in the middle of forest 

of the University park in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The 

institute of culture of Minas Gerais wanted to create a building for 

bend, like an honor for they work. Programme is consisted of auditorium-concert 

place, memorial center, place for workshops, administration 

and study rooms for the group. Concept of the project was to 

position activities, opening to trees that are surrounding the site. 

Programme was divided in three cylinders with theme for every 

cylinder : auditorium, memorial center with workshops and less public 

space with study rooms for the bend. All the time we were leading in 

the project by concept of the group, that is using : custom-made instruments 

and playing instrumental music. So goal was to great a inspiring 

place, calm, reconciled with nature.Materials used are concrete, glass 

and bamboo facade.

Typology units are adapted to the structure and position of blocks which belong 

to. Typology of individual building way clustering participate in creating a 

common space using a forest as a private garden, creating a new understand-nding 

of individuality in the quality of individual housing units. 'Leitmotif' of 

settlements is a public / private green space that connects the complex in a 

single unit. Decreasing of the level of urbanity, increase the density of vegeta-etation.TYPE

Contrary to urban, is green as a way of life. 

According to the use of space is divided into three zones: Express 

Restaurant, primarily for food employees in the business complex, 

but completely open to all guests, a separate a la carte restaurant, 

which can be organized banquets, business lunches or other events 

and lounge cafe, comfortable and warm place, convenient for longer 

visits. 

How to actually rest, you need something green, beautiful, fragment 

of nature is retreating in the building with wood, and two trees that 

follow the movement through space.In this area of New Belgrade is 

still a great site. Although a large number of new squares, but still 

without spirit of used, identified and experienced place. Not escaping 

of that, but just discovering it as the layer, we have decided to leave a 

visible concrete ceiling and concrete pillars, and introduce a black 

steel as a constructive element of the gallery. Materials: raw concrete, 

industrial floor, black panels, furniture from the finest lightwood, green 

fabric, sand and black leather gives elegance without much detail.

HOW IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE INFLECTION 

The design of the city of Cabo Frio Cultural Center Events and Exhibitions emerges, at first 

, from the interpretation of the landscape that surrounds it , in its various characteristics: the 

horizon and the water mirror in Araruama Lagoon to the west ; the low buildings and the 

layout of the city in the foreground and in the background , the mountains , both east .Even 

within the limitations of its range, the architecture, which also includes landscape design 

within the boundaries of the area for CCEE , is designed as an articulator of its surroundings. 

The proposal balances the different characteristics of its context and become a 

physical element of neutralization.Exiting visual axes and surrounding forces, guide the 

creation of a grid, the constructed elements ensures greater permeability of flows, especially 

for pedestrians , and provide a more harmonious relationship between the city and the 

neighboring new set .In the vertical direction, the main program is suspended from the 

ground, to preserve the connection between street and lagoon. Aims to qualify this space - 

ground plan - as essentially public place like a park – implementing a choice of leisure and 

entertainment for the population and tourists .A multidirectional network of paths stands out 

from the ground, leading to a second level of pathways for pedestrians and cyclists - a 

promenade - from which the visual relationship with the landscape is marked, free from the 

interference of cars.Through a helical ramp the ground floor connects to a suspended 

boardwalk called “super-lobby”. This lobby is a live and intense network of paths running 

through the four halls at a mezzanine level and distributes the flow of visitors, allowing free 

movement and stay up control points for access to lounges.

The city of Basel meets its living room. The concept interpretates what would be 

the living room of the city. We understand that a city living room should be as a 

hub that stands between the intense city’s urban fabric and the calmness of its 

private establishments. We bring together a place of routine activities: meet, 

read, chat, eat, with a not less important, platform of information and culture 

exchange. The pavilion should be a common ground, of city inhabitants and 

tourists to create a pleasant environment for gathering.Maximizing the potential 

of the site, project centralizes 3 pedestrian flows into unique junction. Built 

structure of the pavilion is mainly underground enabling the continuity of city life. 

The geometry frames pedestrian flows creating two stages. Ground one, the 

‘city stage’, and underground one ‘art stage’, nucleus of art program. These two 

stages accommodate in parallel different programs, creating different scenarios 

of use depending of the need or seasonal weather condition. The ‘art stage’ 

enables art exchange and platform for different art events. The screen with 

main information for tourists is also placed there. With a big floor map of Basel 

placed on the stage itself, it connects to screen from which users can choose a 

theme of the museum depending on their area of interest , see where is it on the 

floor map, how long it takes to get there, as well buy the ticket. It is possible also 

to generate bespoke tour, or get to know other places in Basel. Stepping on the 

stages user become an active participant in art and public life of the city.

The bridge is generally regarded as a transitory ,directional space, where the 

housing as a non directional,stationary one. At the same time,the first one can 

be regarded as a fast space and the second one as a slow space. The definition 

of the space as either one or the other is given by the ration of transitory speed 

and programmatic load. The project addresses the specific site condition given 

by the juxtaposition of the directional and non directional space typology by 

understanding the bridge as an experience of crossing. The solution offers the 

possibility to disconnect from the city,observing it from a different perspective, 

while slowing down from the everyday life rhythm. In order to achieve the above 

mentioned goals(disconnect and slow down) we have proposed an integrated 

system of sequential events within the transitional field,mixing public and 

private spaces. The result offers a multitude of perspectives which challenges 

the visual and emotional perception of the passer-by,as well as the one of the 

resident ,forced to interact on a common ground. The housing programmatic 

layout and orientation are defined by Moldava River presence, being 

developed on two levels for maximum panorama. The second challenge was 

how to define the private backyard of the residential in relation to the environment 

and the public space. The choice of placing the parking spaces on the 

river banks and promoting only the pedestrian and bicycle access on the site 

enhances our above mentioned attitude regarding the crossing experience and 

the moment .

Rehabilitation of the Museum is the opportunity to come within the existing structures, layers of cultural 

and historical heritage, opening it to the demystification of its inclusion in the public life of the city, through 

the dynamic communication space, programs and users.The solution provides a space that is aesthetically 

"purified" and "open", a simplified functional and rational,structurally "facilitated" by removing all 

unnecessary, and multifaceted program through the membrane to the heavy layering of all open spaces 

and a unified core. This despite "impenetrable" facade sends the message that there is nothing to hide and 

mystified, that relations between old / new, hard / soft, internal / external fluid and above all we consider 

the dynamic of modernarchitectural concepts.The primary parameter which led to the setting solution is 

to streamline the communication scheme up and improve, and at the same time offer new spaces and an 

environment that opens new possibilities for typological organization settings, as well as new supporting 

facilities that already Museum has a need to organize, but had not have adequate space capacity. 

Primarily refers to content that will include meeting more people in the area that should function as a 

natural extension of the public space of the square.The solution was created through extensive research 

into the needs of museums and manipulation of existing building structure, using primarilymethods: 

withdrawal, then merge the existing space and the "wrapping" layers and communication gaps that make 

existing static dynamic structure of the house.Wrapping procedure was carried out two-way: from the 

inside out-from the central "cavity" to full membrane, and out-facilitating inward current structure gradually 

towards the central core. Thus the two central staircase protected atrium bathed in light, associated with 

new galleries and panoramic glass elevators form a central free space, and then attaches them to the 

simplified main horizontal communication in a ring, which connects the existing exhibition spaces in the 

area "between" hard skins and central cavity.Wrapping procedure was carried out two-way: from the inside 

out, from the central "cavity" to full membrane.The central staircases, new galleries and panoramic glass 

elevators form a central free space, attached to main horizontal communication in a ring.Museum of 

integration rather than fragmentation, provides information in perception of transformable space that is 

able to respond to the dynamic of new processes.

‘GIVE AWAY’ PAVILION ‘GIFT AWAY’ PAVILION 

Republic of Serbia approach strategy should be based on forming new 

image for the country that should start with more comprehensive representation 

at upcoming exhibitions. Considering this is the first presentation 

for Serbia, new image is necessary, one free from closure, violence 

and disputing that was presented in the media for too long. Serbia should 

offer idea that presents will to cooperate, to interact and communicate 

within all cultural systems without losing its identity.Here we point out the 

act of GIVING as an authentic quality of our culture and universal method 

of communication, which can assure that in aggressive, dynamic environment 

that markets technical progress,visitor can stop, rest, think, not to 

forget but to remember and preserve experience of his visit to pavilion. 

This interactivity in the opening process is represented with physical 

opening of the hermetic box, whose parts visitors take away so they also 

take part in the opening process, and in the same time they receive gifts 

– parts of the pavilion and parts of our culture authentic product.In the 

end of this exhibition process of visiting and giving pavilion disappears, 

dissolve and drowns into the surrounding environment, representing 

non-invasiveness and consideration for others.

Proposal of Wall-core country house revolves around two elements 

that organize the space. Two simple flow walls like 'tunnels' defining 

someone travel. Main structural walls of architectural space are generated 

around the core. The core is located in center and it is main 

access to all programes. Walls are enabling one floating platform and 

two independent ones and organizing program distribution. The main 

idea is based on my previous research about architectural element-impost. 

Element which negotiate with transformable change of elements 

and different structural forces. Walls are transiting from vertical to 

horizontal plane with strong dissolving zone placed on highest moment 

of transformation from vertical to horizontal and vice- versa. Surface 

breaks in set of bundles making the central zone as open part-structural 

courtyard. Between two sandwich walls is placed communication 

core which is grounded and articulates different levels. The walls are 

position rather as a core around which architectural space revolves 

than as a just structural element. The entrance of the house shifts 

rather from entering from periphery to center to center to periphery. 

This way the user of the house is entering to network of transitions 

adjustable to given scale.

There is the need to ensure that the city is enabling production in the field of 

theater, art and applied art, music, film, video, new media, promotions, discussions, 

workshops, educational programs. Center, which emphasizes education 

and social engagement in the approach to contemporary art and culture and 

promote the "culture of curiosity" .... Consumption of art through the interaction 

and flexibility as a podium for the information, presentations and participation. 

Subject of the graduation project is the art center for production and consumption 

of art, the space that is continuously active (24h / 7 days). Interest is the 

relationship process of creation and presentation of artistic works and the 

possibilities of programming and spatial merging of production and consumption 

of art. A collage of activities that allows space to be constantly active. In the 

 

 

 

 

space for performances / amphitheater. Compositional and volumetric solution 

is formed on the relationship to the river, city silhouette that can be seen from 

the opposite part of the city. Forming the object, "frame".The main focus of the 

entire facility is located on the first floor on big plateau condensing interaction 

between art and public-people.
