Carrizal, designed by Perez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, is a set of eight private houses set in the same property. The master plan included access to all the houses by way of a main axis, which was on the longest side of the lot and would be divided in half. Placing trees already there was crucial to the division of the plot into symmetrical parts. The house’s program includes a ground floor, in which the public functions are accommodated, with a view to the two outside yards for each individual lot.

Warehouse Morinha, designed by stu.dere – Oficina de Arquitetura e Design, is a large light space dynamically fitted as a space for children should be. The intention was to create a sense of exploration as one walked through space, as though it were a labyrinth, like a game for a kid. Hence the implementation of the wire mesh creates a physical but not visual barrier. The materials used have been selected in such a way that their use is unique, without the need for adjacent layers and finishing with other products.

The firm aims for clear and simple solutions to complex problems by blending expertise and experimentation. The office believes that the current sustainability-driven era is the most all-encompassing movement since Modernism.

Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum, designed by Atelier Alter Architects, tells the fossils’ history and the natural science of researching the fossil. The layout of the showrooms is determined by the time and storyline. The horizontal crystalloids also introduce sunlight to the interior space and their growing direction. In all, the tilted crystalloids interweave the sunlight and exhibition spaces. The finalized renovation appeared in the form of a penetrated Cartesian grid.

The reduced width of the main volume is designed to guarantee cross ventilation in all environments.

Mobiuseum, designed by Kritikaa Architect, is conceived as a continuous, never-ending infinite Möbius loop, representing the concept of time where the visitor feels “floating” in space. The Möbius form has been placed strategically on the center of the site to produce a minimal footprint of the building. The building blends perfectly into the contoured topography of the site and extends till the waterfront.

Leisure Pavilion by the Dam, designed by Bruno Rossi Arquitetos, is a space that values outside living, leisure, and contemplation. This new pavilion, built as an independent structure, crosses the area under the shelter in a longitudinal implantation, parallel to the lake, bringing scale, direction and facade to the whole set. Its layout organizes and integrates different spaces, creating a semi-open space that ensures users privacy, without obstructing the views of the surrounding area.

Floating Pavilion, designed by Bruno Rossi Arquitetos, represents a building with no clear boundaries, without beginning or end, mimetized in the landscape. A bigger thermo acoustic metal shingle roof was proposed, supported by a prefabricated laminated timber structure. The floating Pavilion, is defined as a simple roof over a deck, appearing as just two plans, floor and ceiling, which assure leisure and contemplation. The architecture shows itself capable of creating shelter above water.

Tatersal Amador Aguiar, designed by Bruno Rossi Arquitetos, provides basic infrastructure to the livestock show and guest reception, creating exhibition and con-fraternization spaces. The approach to the site suggests an effective rereading of corrals in farms, usually composed by gable roofs, setting a patio. Moreover, the program organization considers service flows, accessibility for the guests, besides taking into account the privileged perspectives to surrounding landscape.

LA QUINTA, designed by PPAA Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, is a weekend house that respects the place’s identity, built context, and height of the neighboring pre-existent walls. These existing walls played an important role and set the limits that would define the space contained in the house. Three voids were proposed in the form of patios for a plan that works all the restrictions inwards and has no views of the landscape.

Bath & Storage, designed by Bruno Rossi Arquitetos, promotes the dialogue between the new intervention and surrounding nature. The sunlight permeates the space between the wooden boards; thus, the design of shadows and solar rays covers the interior space floor. As a result, the simple program is solved by an also simple design, although effective and functional.

The Art of Sport, designed by Design Pendulum, brings together an interesting mix of facilities: a sports training facility, a child psychotherapy center, and a community kitchen-dining space. The material palette is limited and is intentionally kept raw to emphasize the center’s ethos of connecting to one’s true nature. The enclosures for the therapy rooms, which also double up as seating & storage, are created with insulated partitions clad with pinewood strips.
