Gonalo Morgado da Silva (1982), Portuguese architect graduated by

FAUP - Faculty of Architecture, University of Porto in November 2007, with

the thesis An Interpretation of the Contemporary City: The Image Influ-

ence on/within/of Architecture.

Between March 2008 and August 2009 he worked at the London based

practice 5th Studio Architects collaborating in several projects concerning

Design, Architecture, Urban Planning and Public Realm Strategy.

In 2010 concludes in FAUP, a Specialization in Living Spaces and Forms of

Dwelling concerning the curricular yeard of a PhD research.

From May 2011 to June 2012 he was a research fellow at the Faculty of

Architecture, University of Porto, in the department CEAU-CCRE focus-

ing on the ARC+D project (Digital Architecture Representation Commu-

nication) and participating in the organization of several Debates, Round

Tables, Workshops, Exhibitions and Publications related to Photography,

Public Space and Architecture Images and Imaginarium.

Since 2011 Gonalo develops architecture projects as an independent ar-

chitect.

My Portfolio spans across a wide range of projects and design strategies.

According to this diversity it is important to acknowledge that each pro-

ject, following my academic formation and 5th Studio Architets (my first

employer) phyilosophy, intents to be grounded in the particular conditions

of each project and site, valuating and taking into advantage the addition of

specific intellectual capital.

It is this intended intelectual capital that will ensure that architecture wont

reduces itself to a pure aesthetic enjoyment or a simple commercialized

production.

The diversity of architectural and urban projects and programs with which

Ive been involved reinforces the capacity to tackle any challenge and pro-

ject opportunity with functional and aesthetic objectivity.

Spatial dimensioning and composition skills lead together with the ability

to coordinate these same aspects with specific programs and surrounding

influences, which, complemented with more technical aspects and real life

constrains, result in functional utilitarian and aesthetic components to the

urban tissue and the inherent satisfaction of human (individual and collec-

tive) needs.

Park Royal Public Realm Strategy

West London, United Kingdom

Park Royal is an area of 700 hectares which constitutes Europes largest industrial estate. Located halfway between Heathrow and Central London, it plays a key role in the citys strategic service and employment system. But Park Royal is a victim of its own success as Londons Workshop with a congested road network and a low quality public realm presenting chal-lenges to its thriving economy.In the context of these problems, 5th Studio were commissioned by Park Royal Partnership and Design for London to develop a public realm strategy that could achieve a radical uplift in the environmental quality of the area. Given the impossibility of comprehensive change on this vast scale, the proposals offer a tactical response which considers how to maximize the impact of investment a strategy of targeted intervention. The strategy articulates a clear spatial reading of Park Royal as a place which begins by understanding it as a distinct city quarter defined by a perimeter wall of transport infrastructure in order to guide the geographical logic of pro-posals. Working with a toolkit of tactics to establish a useful commonality across a range of interventions from big-scale moves to bottom-up local projects it proposes a spectrum of projects within three spheres of action: network, gateways and districts.

The proposals operate selectively in the space between two extreme definitions of the public realm: buildings and road infrastructure.

some pages of the final report

Londons Workshop

Project Matrix - a series of distinct projects ordered geographically within 3 primary spheres of intervention: network + gateways + districts

Key points of entry to Park Royal, coincident with rail and underground stations, where the infrastructure that establishes it as a distinct territory is crossed. The proposed interventions seek to strengthen the identity of Park Royal and the sense of its boundary by reinforcing the unique qualities of these edge spaces.

The network describes a series of road corridors that are almost the only way to traverse Park Royal. The strategy proposes to improve their functional operation, safety and spatial quality through the integration of a system of off-road cycle paths and a consistent materiality as well as seeking to maximise use of the Grand Union Canal.

A series of distinct pieces of urban fabric whose diversity is critical to the economic operation and urban character of Park Royal. To support this richness of place, and fit with the reality of what would make sense on the ground, the strategy proposes a number of small-scale interventions which respond to specific local conditions.

CROSSRAIL - Abbey Wood Interchange

Abbey Wood, Southeast London, United Kingdom

As part of a team led by Marks Barfield, 5th Studio worked on one of the first Crossrail station studies - the interchange at Abbey Wood, the South-eastern terminus of Crossrail, in London.5th Studios role in this study was to develop a coherent plan for the station area, developing a public realm which ensures positive connection between a new multi-level station, and a better streetscape, creating positive con-nections for both residents and visitors to this new end of line location.5th Studios project team also contribute to the emerging picture of lo-cal regeneration and developmental change, ensuring that this new grain contributes positively to an excellent and integrated new transport hub at Abbey Wood.

Olivers Wharf - Flat Extension

Wapping, London, United Kingdom

This 2 million pounds flat extension and refurbishment consists in a chal-lenging between preserving the listed brick building, once a tea warehouse, and accommodating the requirements of the clients luxurious lifestyle. The extension consists on the junction of two flats on top of the building and explore new ways to take advantage of the massive terrace and its riverside location.The large majority of the architectural solutions were comprised between a mediation, technically and aesthetically, of brick, wood, glass and slate blending the new design with the existing building.The constructions was happening simultaneously to the design process which lead to a very intense process but at the same time very profitable in terms of experience, manly because the design team was dealing with all the constrains of an intervention in a listed old building (full of surprises and technical challenges).

Mill Road Mosque

Cambridge, United Kingdom

The project aims to define a contemporary language for mosque building in Britain that responds to the urban and local cultural context as well as to in-ternationally recognised types. 5th Studio have proposed a series of linked spaces that move from the street (with a cafe and gardens for before and after prayers, and for street market and public events) to a more private rear garden court. These two key external spaces are linked by an internal souk which orchestrates the entry into the main prayer hall, the leaving of shoes and ritual ablution.Whilst the plan form of the building is derived from the geometry of the site and boundaries, the roof forms are orthogonal to the quibla and the Mecca orientation of the main prayer hall: the difference between these generate the unique form of the building. The proposal uses local brick, a random array of which might be gilded - increasing in density towards a solid golden crown.

Low Carbon Housing

St. Ives, United Kingdom

This project consists on 7 low-carbon dwellings on a small site in St. Ives. The houses will be built to the extremely rigourous Passiv-haus standards, representing current best practice for low-energy dwellings within continen-tal Europe, and will meet Level 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes.Located on the outskirts of the town, the site is currently occupied by a single bungalow, and borders onto a public open space at its rear. In the context of proposals for a new guided bus route, which will greatly improve the public transport accessibility of this location, the scheme proposes a development of much greater density.Taking the terraced house an urban typology as its starting point, the design explores how to integrate a scheme of this density within its dis-tinctly ordinary and sub-urban context through its configuration and archi-tectural language.The ensemble of buildings structure a series of communal spaces between front (street) and rear (recreation ground) with each house afforded a small and highly private walled garden / patio space, but benefiting from access to communal allotments and views to the open space beyond. The houses are expressed as a big roof a taut skin of timber cladding, flush glazing, and integrated photovoltaics sitting on top of a brick plinth which forms the private patios to the rear of each house.

Site plan showing the series of interlinked communal spaces between the street and the recreation ground to the rear.

Study model

View from the rear the houses border onto an existing recreation ground. Shared allotments mediate between this public space and the private walled gardens belonging to each house.

View from the street the ensemble of buildings create a parking court at the front of the site which engages with the broad landscape of the road.

The basic house type exploits a split-level section in order to create spatial interest and generosity, and to help create a south-facing roof pitch housing a solar panel installation.

Low Carbon Housing

Bow, East London, United Kingdom

This trailblazing project in Fairfield Road, Bow, will provide market-viable zero-carbon housing. The project will provide 50-60 apartments - with a mix of sizes from studio to 3-bed - to meet 5* standards under the Code for Sustainable Homes.The energy required to heat, light and ventilate these flats will be provided by on-site renewable production - comprising photovoltaic and solar-ther-mal cells, supplemented by a biomass boiler.Rainwater harvesting and grey-water recycling will reduce water usage. To mitigate the effects of climate change and the potential increased demand for summer cooling, the building will incorporate significant thermal mass - achieved through the use of a concrete frame, with areas of exposed soffits within the flats.The project has undergone a number of iterations as it seeked to reconcile the often competing demands of sustainability, affordability and density with respect to both development economics and the (local and regional) plan-ning context. On the drawing-board there was a 60-unit scheme exploring how to build at high levels of density and efficiency, but with moments of spatial quality - using small pocket courtyards and shared roof terraces - that can provide focus and identity to the development as well as envi-ronmental benefit.

Left The dense urban location and the nature of the site make reaching Code Level 5 a difficult but worthwhile challenge.Above The modelling of the building envelope makes it a highly pro-ductive surface housing solar panels to generate heat and electricity, and roof gardens to encourage local food growing.

Below A trio of houses on the street, interlinked by access cores and corridors, are used to create corner aspect flats with private balconies occupying the zones between the houses.

5th Studio Housing and Residential Projects

5th Studio have gained planning consent for a major new residential building on a constrained urban infill site opposite the listed Bow Quarter the former Bryant + May Match Factory in East London. Careful planning and typological innovation has enabled the scheme to create 47 dwellings on a constrained infill site equivalent to a density of 470 dwellings per hectare (1370 habitable rooms), a relatively high density in relation to the adjacent Fairfield Road Conservation Area. The building accommodates a wide range of different dwelling types in order to create the diversity and quality demanded by the developer, as well as meeting the policy requirements of the planning authority. These range from large 5-bed houses with gardens part of the on-site provision of affordable housing via more convential flat types, through to a series of high end interlocking penthouse maisonettes on the upper floors. These typologies are carefully configured to work with a single central lift and stair core, within a volume that responds to the sensitivities of overlooking and overshadowing, whilst also creating a building with an essential decorum appropriate to its location opposite the listed buildings and conservation area of the Match Factory. The design also incorporates a public route through the building at ground level repairing a historic urban severance created by the former route of the North London Railway line.

The design strategy for this Single Family House consisted in the break-ing of the house big volume, due to its large are, into smaller scale units (as seen in the elevation and views). These apparent smaller scale units translate to the exterior the different types of spaces and functions that take place inside (double-height ceiling on the living room and the bedroom volume on top, for example).

Barn & Sheep Shed Extension | Milking Parlour Cheese Factory & House Extension

Celorico da Beira, Portugal Celorico da Beira, Portugal

This project consists on the extension of a Barn and a Sheep Shed and on the addition of a Millking Parlour as a part of a Milk and Cheese Produc-tion Farm.The project was largely conditioned by the existent constructions (the cen-tral volume), by topography and by budgetary constraints. The final solution is a compromise between minimal volumetric impact (the proposal is devel-oped in three levels and following the slope of the land), greatly simplified construction techniques (according to the available budget and construction techniques available on site) and a functional coordination of the program.

On the site of a previous ruin, is now being constructed a small scale cheese factory, adjacent to the clients single family house. Due to this prox-imity the project comtemplates a house extension on the first flor. The pro-ject is conditioned by a very tight budject, construction tecniques available on to this small village contractors and the limitations of an irregular plot. On the ground flor we find the cheese factory facilities (blue) and exhistin storage facilities (magenta). The new facilities maximize the use of the internal spaceThe first floor is all destined for housing purposes, and contrary to the ground floor inclosure is opened to the the valley landscape by a generous covered terrace.The basemant floor is destined to become a small wine cellar with the ca-pacity to process 2000l a year.

Self-Construction Timber Cabin


This project consists in a partially prefabricated timber mountain cabin to be assembled on site. It consists on an extremely simple timber modular structure plus insulation and timber cladding, with traditional Portuguese roof tiles.This low area & low impact design is intended to be built in a National Park and Ecological Reserve and aimed primarily at eco-tourism. More than a simple architecture project it is associated with a business strategy in which the architectural project and the built Cabin consist in a single product. Its purpose is to be sold as a package product, intended to be self-constructed by the buyer with technical consultation from the architect. Upon request the architect can provide, through a partnership, the construction of the cabin.The prototype presented consists in a bedroom unit + living space with a stove, primarily aimed for daily rent to be explored by local residents as a complementary business to their daily activity. This unit can also be suitable for owners who would like to have their own mountain cabin.All the materials, apart from the insulation ones, are intended to be from ecological local production (timber, foundation stones, roof tiles), increas-ing local economy and lowering carbon footprint.

Country House + Farming Facilities


This family house consists of two standardized timber modular structure volumes, plus a few complementary constructions (garage, barbecue and farming shed) to be built in traditional Portuguese masonry.The client demanded a low cost timber house with a swimming pool and a Landscape strategy for the whole terrain which combined seasonal farming activity with the quietness of countryside garden, developed for different specific proposes, but not segregated.The houses timber structure is extremely simple and light, easily assem-bled by local workers and in a short period of time. The timber and the granite masonry play aims to reinterpret the archetype of the local build-ings while simultaneously highlights modernist inspiration through strictly orthogonal volumes displayed on the terrain.

The project establishes a new connection to the consolidated, multifunc-tional and multi-social urban built environment. Trying to provide the best answer in terms of accessibility, mobility and urban configuration, the pro-posal is divided in independent volumes, each with its own character, not-withstanding that all simultaneously contribute to a common strategy. The study proceeded with detailed development of a single housing volume and different typologies as well as a whole set of construction details.

The project corresponds to the hybrid nature of the site (a big variety of occupations, scales, uses and a new and eminent element: speed.) The contact of the site with the accesses to the motorway (one of Portos main access - Arrbida) creates a strong opposition to fluidity, generating big scars in the urban tissue and allowing/requiring different perceptions of the project. The project centres itself in a main iconic building (the main auditorium) creating an urban reference in this ambiguous environment. The project allows simultaneously a view of the Douro valley and a hushed square, lower than the street level and away from traffic.

As an opposition to the mixture of different networks, ways, and paths, this new structure has a very strict composition, in what is related to his central part an 80 m wide boulevard-park that runs into the hill. Its a geometrical space that articulates all the buildings and functions. Its a flexible and flat space design to hold all different kinds of ideas and installations, and with the possibility to be easily changed and adapted to new uses or circumstances.

It creates also a unique riverbank in Prague providing new ways of relating to the river. It is complemented with a structure of complementary functions as offices, shopping and leisure areas.

My proposal consists in the construction of buildings that can at-tract and contain people among the entire day (hotel, students dor-mitory, offices, shops and collective housing) with a multifunctional purpose. The new structure allows penetration from the riverbank in to the dense urban consolidated tissue. The strategy is divided into two purposes: requalification of pedestrian paths in the consolidated structure and the construction facing the river.

We intended to intervene, not in the urban fabric but outside of this, outside of the consolidated city. We searched an answer at a territorial level - at the scale of the metropolitan area capable of unite Lisbons metropolitan area.Being like this, we concentrated all the dock activity in a specific nuclear point. The place found for the implementation of the same one was, literally, the estuary. Quickly we realize the potential of his location through its visibility became inevitable the creation of an iconic object and reference point.

Photography arises simultaneously as a way to register what one sees and as a way to investigate and to discover new perspectives about places, people, things and situations. Photography conjugates a temporal char-acteristics (temporal vs atemporal) that reveal the confrontation between what a situation is versus what will never be again in the same support allowing us to question time and space.Free Hand Drawing is fundamental to develop design ideas into coherent proposals, to communicate ideas and concepts, and as a powerful tool to explain the merits of a design. Several different techniques of Urban land-scape drawing are powerful means to proper understand the mentioned urban and architectural spaces as well as to practice and to advance on the understand of scale and proportion.To travel provides the opportunity to see, to photograph, to draw - to un-derstand.
