Peace ParksBorder between Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay
The project explores the concept of ‘Peace Parks’, which are protected ecological sanctuaries with its management shared by all countries involved. The shared park expands the notion of political border by creating a surface of exchange instead of a dividing line. Coupled with the deployment of the parks are a series of strategies that promote tourism and sustainable development, creating jobs and boosting local economies.
Given the diversity of ecosystems along the longitudinal axis of the South American continent, the project sheds light onto a potential connection between the different biomes through various conservation areas. Within this logic, the proposed Peace Park is part of a strategy which creates a transitional zone between the Pampas and the Brazilian Coastal Forest biomes, fostering a much richer biodiversity.

New Cartographies - Rio de Janeiro MapX São Paulo Biennial and Studio-X Rio de Janeiro
The New Cartographies project proposes to work mapping as a creative instrument of recognition, criticism and action on the urban territory. Sponsored by the Pró-Design program of the City of Rio de Janeiro, the project, conceived by CAMPO aud, developed partnerships and research on participative mapping that strives to go beyond mere physical representations of the territory, having the city of Rio de Janeiro as its main focus.
The New Cartographies Exhibition happened between May 17th and June 8th, 2013 at the Carioca Design Center, and showed works from CAMPO and from invited artists, architects and designers (Lize Mogel, Christian Nold, Fabio Lopez, Wikimapa, Wellington Cançado and Renata Marques).

This map was created with the intention of provide a complete and immediate visualization of the urban area of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Today, there aren’t any available maps that allow us to understand the relation between the form of the city and its empty areas with such detail and clarity as the one presented here. Due to the precision of the drawing, it is possible to identify relations of mass, density, proximity, importance, location, among others, with each building and with the city as a whole. The trac system shows the accessible extension of the territory and, as a consequence, how the city is served by the transportation system infrastructures.
Alongside the information related to the built / artificial areas, the drawing of the natural landscape presents in a flattened way the landforms that compose the typical “carioca” landscape. From that, it is possible to see the influence that the mountains have over the limits and the construction of the city.
As a strategy to organize the collected information and diminish the visual complexity generated the high amount of printed information, we decided to control the exposition
of the map through the intensity of light projected over it. Then, the same projection was used to highlight, with colors and light in a controlled way, a sequence of information considered important to clarify how the city if organized today. The projection is prepared in a loop that puts together 65 layers which vary from basic information about the political division of the city (macrozones, administrative regions, neighborhoods) to more complex information about urban dynamics (areas transformed for the Olympic complexes, the main future projects for the city, etc.).
With this map, we intend to offer a tool to understand the city of Rio in a clear and objective way, and to some extent democratize the access to essential information to understand the direction that the city is taking.

Information SourceMost of the digital files that served as a base for the construction of the printed map came from dwg files created in 2008 by the Rio de Janeiro Municipality. 753 files were gathered and 15 layers were selected, cleaned and modified in order to form the content of the eight vertical stripes, measuring 67x255 cm each, which together form this complete map. The other files used, with information about the streets network, represented by the axis of the roads, were extracted from a digital base offered by Pereira Passos Institute on its website.
Primary InformationMost of dwg bases provided by the Municipality of Rio de Janeiro are incomplete. The areas that lack most information are located in the far west, close to the Sepetiba Bay, and in the northwest area, close to Campo Grande and Santa Cruz. Due to the fact that the road system originates from a dierent file than the rest of the map, and because it is more complete and consistent with the actual reality, it is possibleto observe the areas where there is lack of information: on those areas we can see the axis of the streets, but there are no buildings close to them.
Added InformationAn important part of the work was to approximate those bases of the reality. Manual work was necessary to draw buildings that were not on the original dwg files. Those drawings were based on Goggle Earth aerial photos. This process was used in critical situations where the lack of information could have compromised the understanding on how the city works and how it is organized nowadays. The buildings on the ‘favelas’ (slums), which are completely missing from the original dwg base, were represented as a pile of buildings, where its form and position do not correspond to reality, but where the general border of the favela does.
LimitsBecause of the diculty to find dwg files with the built areas to cities around Rio, and because the data and indexes found were presented according to municipalities, we decided to consider as a study area the city of Rio de Janeiro inside its limits, and not the metropolitan region, which goes beyond this political outlining.

This project was conceived to accommodate for both highly successful futures of the site and drastic failures. Like infrastructures designed to create conditions for other activities to happen, the Urban Foundations project enables its adaptation for calculated densifications and potential eventual evacuations.The main concept of the project uses an analogy with the foundations of a building to create a series of architectural, urban, and landscape conditions that can respond to the uncertainties of Plan d’Aou. Developed as a prototypical strategy that can permeate and influence development for the entire study site, the architectural and urban strategies presented here establish an indissoluble relationship founded upon adaptability.Both the urban and architectural strategies have been conceived to guarantee the adequate implementation of site development in different levels. The relatively excessive use of structural materials (concrete) in the construction of the armature can be justified by its infrastructural role, and occupied over time, if necessary. This might seem odd at first, but this type of investment consciously
accounts for flexibility in development. The armature can as much be used as a bare spatial structure for outdoor activities – assuming the role of interactive monument – as it can a plinth for vertical expansion, provided the market highlights this opportunity and an increase in density is desired by the community and local planning authorities.The project was conceived with the simplest possible expression – the least technical, least lyrical, and an almost primitive structural solution. This simplicity allows it to create a generous platform for myriad programs to occur. The static armature is equipped with all the basic technical features that a multifunctional building requires for fluid programming. The concrete armature contrasts with the lightweight wooden and plaster partitions used to create the different compartments of the building. This contrast does not only accommodate any number of layout variations, but also gives the building a tectonic identity that is unique and enduring, in light of the multiple changeable scenarios that are enabled.

Shared Residence in Pires de Almeida StreetRio de Janeiro, Brazil
The 23 buildings in Pires de Almeida Street were built to house all the employees of an insurance company, in the decade of 1920. The street is organized diagrammatically, and its elements reflect the hierarchical structure of the company at the time. In the first 4 buildings lived the president and directors, therefore they have a higher quality in terms of natural ventilation, insulation and materials used, as well as being the only ones with lifts. The second step’s units are a little smaller, but still very comfortable to live in and face a bucolic square, with plenty of trees and a playground, while the units of the next two steps keep getting smaller and denser. While the regular apartment of the first 4 buildings is 200m² big on average, the unit in the far end is only 63m².
As time went by, the street no longer was inhabited merely by the company’s staff, but its structure remained the same. The hierarchy is now a reflex of the economic conditions of its residents, creating a healthy environment where people of different social classes coexist. Historically, due to its low costs, the last 2 sets of buildings used to house artists, students and exiles who had just returned to the country, giving to the street a character of an intense cultural production.
However most of these traits have been lost during the years and because of the rising real estate speculation in the city, even the last 2 buildings went through changes and fusions, leaving behind the street’s biggest quality: being a democratic environment.
Our project seeks to restore the residential diversity of the street, bringing its apartments to a minimal size as a way of insuring its accessible prices while, on the other hand, provides a wide living space, enhancing therefore the quality of life and connecting its inhabitants. It operates on the last building on the right and on the cul-de-sac, which was formerly used as soccer field and nowadays is a parking lot.
