Note: The following is a shortened version of the graduate report prepared for the Minimum Cost Housing Group (MCHG) of McGill University, Montreal. This report was written by myself, along with Cesar Gonzales, Tong Gan, Yue Li, Annalyn Maribbay and Alejandro Lopez. Proposals for Physical Aspects Community Level Community Self-Help Centre: The proposed Community Centre would be located on the current plot along street 21 and street 7. This vacant plot has large trees, which shall remain, and also an existing open shed. This is where the school was formerly located.

Several community activities would be encouraged to be held there: Education and Training: A self-help centre was located within this area, catering for the residents' needs and helping define the upgrading process.

O "Cettro Petit" é o novo "filhote" da clínica Cettro (que projetei em parceria com a Arq. Carla Orsi em 2001 e renovei recentemente). Este pequeno projeto foi concluído no final de 2009 e inaugurado no dia 26 de Março de 2010. Neste projeto, utilizei alguns conceitos de humanização do espaço físico, com adoção de materiais apropriados, iluminação natural e artificial abundante mas balanceada, cores harmoniosas, distrações positivas, etc. O piso escolhido foi a manta vinílica (Absolute Acoustic da Tarkett-Fademac). Nas divisórias utilizamos persianas entre-vidros. A iluminação é projeto da Lampen. No Cettro Petit a criança tem seu próprio cantinho, aonde pode se distrair enquanto espera a consulta ou o tratamento. Fizemos aplicação de painéis fotográficos em alguns locais (o tema do Pequeno Príncipe foi sugestão da agência Athena, responsável pela identidade visual do Cettro).

In 1821, Bonifácio de Andrada, the patriarch of Brazil’s independence, recommended to the deputies at the Court of Lisbon: “there shall be erected a central town, in the interior of Brazil, as the seat of the court or regency…”. In 1883 an Italian priest known as Dom Bosco had a ‘dream-vision’, in which he saw the ‘promised land’ between the 15th and 20th d
