“Lá da Favelinha “文化中心的经理，Kdu dos Anjos，更愿意把这所房子亲切地称为 “我的小屋”。这座房子被植入一个倾斜的地块，面积约为70平方米，在那里可以安装两个3×3米的结构模块，分两层，边上是靠在边界上的房子的一个小延伸。从远处看，房子所在的贫民窟 “Aglomerado da Serra “的明显陶瓷砖结构的混合体没有任何区别。

“Lá da Favelinha” cultural center’s manager, Kdu dos Anjos, prefers to call this house, affectionately, “my shack”. The house was implanted in an angled plot, of approximately 70m², where it was possible to fit two structural modules of 3×3m, on two levels, bordered by a small extension of the house leaning against the border. From afar, there is no difference in the amalgam of apparent ceramic brick constructions of the “Aglomerado da Serra”, the slum where the house is located.

经典的8孔砖块决定了房子的材质，只在水平方向安放，并露出珠子的表面。这在贫民窟中是非常不寻常的，因为将立着的木块安放在一起会更快，并使材料更有利可图。在这种情况下，我们的想法是确保房子有更好的热惯性，因为随着水平沉降，墙的宽度将与块状物的大尺寸相对应。此外，我们还探索了使用这种模块化元素的不同方式，在某些情况下，它作为格子墙出现，或与混凝土块结合，由结构需要。我们保持了贫民窟乡土建筑所特有的构造剧目。至于明显的砖块的结构和封闭性，我们注意观察与雨水的流动及其在地面上的吸收有关的问题；尽量减少对土壤的干预；除了用桉树卷部件和植被等轻微元素来控制温度外，还大量提供自然通风和照明。当然，还要最大限度地利用景观，这是不寻常的，在城市的其他地方是看不到的。

The classic block of 8 holes is what determines the materiality of the house, only settled horizontally and revealing its beaded face. Something very unusual in the slums, since settling the standing block is faster and makes the material more profitable. In this case, the idea was to ensure better thermal inertia for the house, since, with the horizontal settlement, the width of the wall will correspond to the larger size of the block. In addition, we explore different ways of using this modular element, which in some situations appears as a latticework wall, or combined with concrete blocks, by a structural need. We maintained the constructive repertoire characteristic of slums’ vernacular architecture. As to the structure and closure of the apparent bricks, we were careful to observe issues related to the flow of rainwater and its absorption on the ground; minimize intervention in the soil; offer natural ventilation and lighting generously, in addition to temperature control with slight elements such as eucalyptus roll parts and vegetation. And, of course, make the most of the view, which is extraordinary and cannot be seen from anywhere else in the city.

“Casa no Pomar do Cafezal “是 “LEVANTE “集体进行的第二项工作，该集体由建筑师、学生和工程师组成，由Fernando Maculan和Joana Magalhães领导，其目标是阐述项目，为贝洛奥里藏特的贫民窟建筑带来供应商和赞助商。该房屋的设计代表了一种建设性的模式，使用了贫民窟中常见的材料，并充分实施和关注照明和通风，形成了一个具有良好环境质量的空间。

“Casa no Pomar do Cafezal” was the second work carried out by the collective “LEVANTE”, a group of architects, students, and engineers, led by Fernando Maculan and Joana Magalhães, whose goal is to elaborate projects, bring suppliers and sponsors to slum architecture in Belo Horizonte. The design of the house represents a constructive model that uses common materials in the slums, with an adequate implementation and attention to lighting and ventilation, resulting in a space with great environmental quality.
