Manga - Vila Santa Thereza住宅楼刚刚被IAB（巴西建筑师协会）选为20个项目之一，代表巴西参加第三届奥斯卡-尼迈耶拉丁美洲建筑奖的国际阶段。展览和颁奖仪式将于11月在基多建筑双年展（BAQ）上举行。
The Manga – Vila Santa Thereza housing building has just been selected by the IAB (Brazilian Architects Institute) as one of the 20 projects to represent Brazil at the international phase of the 3rd Oscar Niemeyer Prize for Latin American Architecture. The exhibition and the award ceremony will take place at the Quito Architecture Bienial (BAQ) in November.
Manga - Vila Santa Thereza大厦不是我们客户最初要求的18个单间，而是12个不同类型的公寓，3个单间，3个一居室公寓，3个两居室公寓和3个三居室公寓。这种简报的变化让客户很高兴，因为他的投资较少，回报较高。但最重要的收获是这个城市有了这个重视社会混合的项目：学生和单身人士与年轻夫妇和家庭居住在一起。
Instead of the 18 studios initially requested by our client, the Manga – Vila Santa Thereza Building is a 12 apartments building of different types, 3 studios, 3 1-bedroom apartments, 3 2-bedrooms apartments and 3 3-bedrooms apartments. This change in briefing pleased the client who had a lower investment and a higher return. But the most important gain was for the city with this venture that values social mix: students and singles inhabit with young couples and families.
12x49米地块的东西方向允许纵向使用，这有利于建筑少受太阳升起和日落的影响。创建2栋每层2套公寓是基于3个因素的决定。1）尊重附近的类型，重视有树的院子，2）空隙作为隔热元素的重要性，因为，由于东植入西，当太阳处于最水平的位置时，一个街区会对另一个街区产生阴影，3）尊重之前存在的一棵大芒果树，不幸的是，它不能承受工程带来的不便。空白有它的价值，一棵芒果树已被重新种植。
The East-West orientation of the 12x49m plot allowed for a longitudinal use that favors a building with less exposure to the rising sun and the setting sun. Creating 2 blocks of 2 apartments per floor was a decision based on 3 factors: 1) respect for the typologies of the neighborhood that value a courtyard with trees, 2) the importance of the void as an element of thermal insulation, because, thanks to the East implantation -West, a block shadows another when the sun is in its most horizontal position, and 3) respect for the pre-existence of a large mango-tree that, unfortunately, could not withstand the inconvenience of the work. The void has its value and a mango-tree has been re-planted.
在最暴露在阳光下的立面（东面和西面），安装了一个金属网格，可以过滤光线和视野，创造出一个淡黄色的 "光环"，与项目概念中的芒果树一致。这些金属等级也减少了太阳的入射，以减少对公寓的冷却需求。考虑到该地区的盛行风的来源，减少街区的宽度以及每个外墙的开口设计都是为了保证所有空间的交叉通风。该建筑的这些被动可持续发展的特点使得每个住房单元的能源消耗需求远远低于当地的平均水平。公共区域的光线由安装在屋顶上的光伏电池板产生。
On the façades most exposed to the sun (East and West) a metal grid was installed that filters the light and the views, creating a yellowish “halo” in line with the mango tree that originated the project concept. These metal grades also reduce the solar incidence in order to reduce the need for cooling the apartments. Taking into account the origin of the prevailing winds in the region, the reduced width of the blocks as well as the design of the openings in each facade were planned to guarantee cross ventilation in all spaces. These passive sustainability characteristics of the building allow the demand for energy consumption of each housing unit to be well below the local average. The common areas have their light produced by photovoltaic panels installed on the roofs.
该类型提出了一个厨房/洗衣区与所有公寓模型的生活/餐饮区相结合，允许用户之间有更大的互动。因为它位于城市的一个较高点，而且有落地窗，所有的公寓都可以看到街道和附近的邻居，也可以看到远处的里奥内格罗，亚马逊的象征。简而言之，Vila Santa Thereza大楼试图为所有单元提供被动的可持续性和相同的空间质量，以实现社会平等。
The typology proposes a kitchen / laundry area integrated with the living / dining area for all apartment models allowing greater interaction between users. Because it is located in one of the higher point of the city, and because it has floor-to-ceiling windows, all apartments have views of the street and the nearby neighborhood, but also of the distant Rio Negro, symbol of the Amazon. In short, the Vila Santa Thereza building tries to present conditions of passive sustainability and identical spatial qualities for all units in order to achieve social equality.
