I am a student of Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Brasilia, situated in a building designed by Niemeyer, located in Brasilia, a city planned by Lúcio Costa and with great architectural landmarks designed by Oscar Niemeyer. For these reasons I feel privileged to experience the works in my daily life .
Interested for arts and spaces, specifically drawing and creating since childhood . I was born in Sao Paulo and lived in 6 different cities and therefore had the opportunity to see different ways of living and building, as the habits and history of each place influences on buildings and urbanization and as a result the existing environment influences the quality of life of its inhabitants .
I like to believe that architecture , society and nature are interconnected , one does not exist without the other . A building loses its function without people to inhabit it and can not withstand the time if it doesn't observe and respect nature.
"I believe that things can be done differently, that architecture can change people's lives and that is worth trying."
(Zaha Hadid)
"The architecture is only complete with the intervention of a human being who experiences."
(Tadao Ando)
"Gaudí once said: "The tree that is there is my teacher." I also wish I could say the same, like the great master Gaudi. Have passed over a hundred years since then, so I think that the meaning of the phrase has changed a bit. Nevertheless, we architects still can not create an architecture that can be more than one tree."
(Toyo Ito)
"Architecture is creation. It is the recreating the shelter of man."
(Oscar Niemeyer)
