D.Sc. Candidate
Architect, Urban Planner & Design Researcher
Graduated in Architecture and Urbanism with a monograph on Floating Construction Systems (2009), Master in Design with research on Ergonomics of the Built Environment with focus on Public Squares (2013), and currently a PhD student in Design with research on the Affective Relationship between Public Spaces and their Users (since 2019), all done in PUC-Rio (Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro). Researcher at LEUI (Ergodesign and Interface Usability Laboratory located in the Department of Arts and Design at PUC-Rio), developing studies on the human-task-environment relationship, considering Urban Spaces. While still in graduation, developed a research on Sustainable Green Roofs through the Scientific Initiation Program. Professional experience in Residential Architectural Projects, Decoration and Furniture Design. My fundamental interest is, through Design, to promote changes in behavior and generate quality of life and well-being.
City projects focused on citizens and life quality.
Talking about the countless complexities of contemporary cities is a recurrent practice in academic works and congresses, especially in the area of Urbanism, an activity entirely focused on the theme. However, it is precise because of its complexity that its questions do not end, on the contrary, the Urban Space increasingly demands new knowledge from other disciplines that contribute to its development. Faced with this interdisciplinary scenario, Environmental Design stands as a tool capable of promoting organization, dialogue and planning among the parties involved. The purpose of the work is, therefore, to clarify its possible methodological contribution in the planning and management of Urban Projects. It is also important to highlight that experiencing built environments is an activity and that it will be fully addressed from the perspective of Ergonomics.
