SERLACHIUS MUSEUM EXTENSION -
INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION,
FINLAND, 2011
PROGRAM: Foyer Services, Conference and
Representation Facilities, Restaurant and Kitchen
Facilities, Exhibition Spaces, Collections Treatment and
Storage Facilities, Offices, Conference Room and
Library, Property Management Facilities, Circulations,
Extension of the Exterior Circulation.
BUILDING AREA:
The design of the building extension, works as a
connector between the Melasjarvi Lake, the
Taavetinsaari island and the park, a destination point.
Rather than going to the museum simply to look at art,
visitors are welcomed to engage in artistic discourse
primarily by the architecture of the building itself.
According to the basic assumptions, for some of the
design options taken, the new building is developed
according to a constructive streamlined grid - oriented
in a cross shape by two major circulation axes - the
longitudinal (North - South ) crossing the (East-West)
direction. This cross circulation (interior and exterior)
provides a spatial distribution of the program in all
quadrants (North-East, East / South, South / West and
West / North) where we will insert the implemented
different functional areas. The entrance foyer acts as
the heart of the old and the new building, directing the
visitors along all the museological spaces.

SALVATERRA DE MAGOS EB2/3 AND SECUNDARY
SCHOOL, PORTUGAL, 2008 - 2011
PROGRAM: activities of the 2nd
laboratories, classes for the 3rd cycle and
secondary general office /
administration, teachers and staff break room, student
cafeteria,
resource rooms, workshops, NOC
(new opportunities center) and special education, new
body of dress rooms, and reception desk.
CLIENT: Parque Escolar, EPE
BUILDING AREA: 11,800 m (127,014 sf)
STATUS: Constructed
The Salvaterra de Magos School /
Secondary was part of the Modernization Program
of Parque Escolar do Ensino
The major objective of this proposal is to
ensure a balanced way of joining two contiguous but
separate schools physically the
Antonio Lopes
Salvaterra de Magos, by developing a comprehensive
approach. A new multi-purpose school building is
added core that will be physically closer
to the existing blocks A and G. The new building is
of
different dimensions that are the structural element
the whole project also linking with the main entrance
and the street that provides access to school.

L I S B O N , P O R T U G A L
PROGRAM: Public areas, service areas, technical
areas, parking areas.
FA-UTL: 2007 / 2008
BUILDING AREA:
The area of intervention of this project is the area
surrounding the road junction in the "Twin Towers".
The establishment of this museum came in trying to
make the connection to Monsanto by changing the
road system and a green path, where the link is the
building. This proposal consists in the creation of a
new roundabout which develops according to the
topography of the land, a green path with the intention
of connecting the Parque Eduardo VII to Monsanto,
and a museum located within the roundabout that will
be part of a building - the bridge . This, at certain areas
of land will be based on a system of platforms and
tunnels that will connect the existing viaduct, adopting
a pedestrian character, and of leisure, where outdoor
cafes, banks, etc can exist.
The Museum has two exterior parking areas, one for
visitors and another to support it, surrounded by a
large green space that can be used for exhibitions. The
interior space is divided into public areas, service and
technical areas, with the restaurant and cafeteria facing
south, overlooking the Valley of Alcantara, and the
exhibition area to the west overlooking Monsanto. Zinc
and U-Glass will be used for exterior materials.

To whom it may concern:
I am writing to recommend Andreia Gao as a hard working designer who will be
a benefit to any design firm.
Andreia helped us for several months developing a presentation package for an
overseas university, working on site plans and building plans and both physical
and computer models. We found Andreia dependable, conscientious and
agreeable to the team and the work involved. She understood the goals of the
design, executed her work well and was a great team player. She also learned
our fairly unique computer programs very quickly and I have no doubt she will be
able to pick up any new program and be quickly proficient.
If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call Andrea
Leers, me, or the Project Manager Tom Chung.
Sincerely,
Josiah Stevenson, AIA, LEED AP
