Jabuticaba Square
The Jabuticaba Square generates a system of spaces that enhance the city of Contagem and invite community interaction. It is composed of various elements articulated with each other and with pre-existing structures.
The Grand Marquee connects the various parts of the square, creating a covered space that makes a prominent presence. It functions as a kind of city balcony, a free and shaded area. It creates a flexible space, offering possibilities instead of fixed uses.

RING AVENUE
The delicate redevelopment of the ancient Via Emilia, in the urban stretch of Tavazzano with Villavesco between the Dante and Garibaldi streets, aims to create a real urban space of quality. The small municipality of the lower Lodi area, which has always lacked a square as it is traditionally understood in Italian territory (a place protected and delimited by architectural facades), sees in the redevelopment of its main crossing axis a singular opportunity as much as significant renovation.

Five Corners Square
Project name: Five Corners Square in Warsaw
Typology: Landscape
Localization: Warsaw, Poland
Year: 2016 Team: Jakub Figel, Filip Kurasz
IDEA
The main project idea is to emphasize the integrity of the square with the surrounding buildings. On the groundfloor level, the strips outlined from the buildings corners symbolize the acoustic waves that are creating the “melody of the place”. We can interpret buildings as a "musical instrument" which interacts with its vibrations and sounds on the surrounding urban space. The use of the aforementioned offset also emphasizes historical communication routes. The proposed solution aims to create a cohesive, clear, complex and mysterious place, which is a communication node for the Warsaw Downtown... More
