IPHAN 2006

with Humberto Hermeto

the challenge in the competition for the iphan headquarters was to create a building of high complexity and desired flexibility while at the same time maximizing the use of natural light and minimizing the use of air conditioned.

for such we created a vegetation buffer between the external grid and the glass panel, allowing for shade and natural ventilation

to minimize the problem of low humidity in Brasília we proposed water retention on the roof and a pond in the patio, linked to a reservoir of collected rain water to used during the dry season to maintain the peripheral garden
