The house is divided into four distinct structures connected by external pathways that guide residents and visitors both physically and visually and an open space for storing a vintage Beetle car The social block features a gathering room and a gazebo that offers panoramic views of the landscape Instead of imposing a large built volume onto the site the design fragments the house to preserve existing flows of energy This approach aims to minimize disruption to the natural environment allowing the house to camouflage itself within the grand natural landscape of the Araripe National Forest The design team at AzulPitanga employs rammed earth walls for their thermal inertia and ability to regulate interior temperatures The rooms are oriented to receive sunlight from the east and west with protective elements such as small balconies and closets shielding them from the harsh western sun Bathrooms feature large windows that open to the landscape reinforcing the residents’ desire to bathe in nature Natural stone flooring in the bathrooms enhances this experience The social block is defined by two parallel Barbalha stone walls and a large rectangular slab roof supported by four recessed pillars The east and west facades incorporate a half-timbering technique using massaranduba wood bars sealed with reinforced mortar The design includes large sliding shutter doors and an external stone wall staircase leading to a rooftop viewpoint VV House by AzulPitanga nestles among coconut trees at the foot of Chapada Nacional do Araripe in Barbalha The project preserves a water line that crosses the land during rainy periods maintaining the flow of water to the Arajara River The circulation axis of the house follows the natural topography integrating ramps and terraces among the trees This design ensures that the house is born from its surroundings respecting and maintaining the pre-existing natural flows The design reflects the clients’ philosophy of living in harmony with natural energies with its minimalist architecture and Mediterranean identity embodying a delicate balance between tradition and modernity VV House by AzulPitanga exemplifies a sensitive and sustainable approach to architecture integrating seamlessly with its environment while providing functional and aesthetic living spaces VV House utilizes local materials such as Barbalha stone and rammed earth

presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Metrics details This study reports a set of primeval marine incursions identified in two drill cores Based on a multi-proxy approach involving stratigraphy three short-lived marine incursions were identified designated Araripe Marine Incursions (AMI) 1–3 which occur within the shales of the Batateira Beds (lower part of the Barbalha Formation) were identified by the occurrence of benthonic foraminifera and a mass mortality event of non-marine ostracods AMI-3 was recognized in the upper part of the Barbalha Formation based on the occurrence of ichnofossils and planktonic foraminifera The observation of the planktonic foraminifera genus Leupoldina for the first time in the basin indicates early Aptian/early late Aptian age for these deposits and the first opportunity of correlation with global foraminifera biozonation Our findings have implications for the breakup of the Gondwana Supercontinent as these incursions represent the earliest marine-derived flooding events in the inland basins of northeastern Brazil The geological record of northeastern Brazilian marginal and interior basins is fundamental for obtaining temporal and geographical constraints for the first marine incursions in the region including their provenance and relationship with the relative motions between the incipient African and South American plates and geochemical approaches is essential to obtain a clearer image of these ingressions and the relationship between the Tethys and the proto-South Atlantic waters as well as the development of a more accurate paleogeographical model for this time interval The recognition of marine incursions within these basins provides essential information to help decipher the pathways of this major geological event and microbiofaciological data for the Barbalha Formation the lowermost stratigraphic unit of the post-rift sequence of the basin and allowed identification of the primeval marine incursions in northeastern Brazil and its deposits lay atop Precambrian terrains (Piancó-Alto Brígida and Granjeiro) in the transversal domain of the Borborema Province Eight species belonging to three genera of non-marine ostracods were identified in borehole 1PS-06-CE (Fig. 4a–h), with moderate to good preservation. Recovered species include Candonopsis? alagoensis, Candona? sp., Pattersoncypris alta, Pattersoncypris micropapillosa, Pattersoncypris salitrensis, Pattersoncypris angulata, Pattersoncypris sp. 1, and Pattersoncypris sp. 2. 99.30 m); (g) Pattersoncypris micropappilosa (right lateral view; 1PS-06-CE 99.30 m); (h) Theriosynoecum silvai (right valve Calcareous nannofossils: (n–s) Ascidian spicule (1PS-06-CE Ostracod abundance varies throughout this borehole there is a remarkably high abundance of well-preserved and articulated specimens (particularly at depths 99.80 and 99.30 m with over 1000 individuals in each sample) abundance and diversity of the ostracod fauna decreases considerably Calcareous nannofossils were recovered only in borehole 1PS-06-CE, in the fine-grained facies of the Batateira Beds (Fig. 4n–u) We recorded poorly- to well-preserved ascidian spicules at 112.30 m and five specimens of calcareous dinocyst fragments (Thoracosphaera spp.) at 114.70 m Key microfossil species recovered (1PS-06-CE and 1PS-10-CE boreholes): (a) Leupoldina sp 39.20 m); (d) Serpulids (collar = white arrows) (1PS-10-CE 99.30 m); (g,h) Wackestone and packstone with ostracods (1PS-06-CE 99.30 m); (i) Wackestone with ostracods and serpulids (red frame corresponds to image “(j)”) (1PS-06-CE 99.30 m); (j) Detail view of wackestone with ostracod shells and serpulid tubes (red arrows) (1PS-06-CE 99.30 m); (k) Sergipea variverrucata (1PS-10-CE Globigerinelloides specimens were identified by their typical planispiral biumbilicate coiling in equatorial sections The stratigraphic positions of the biomarkers discussed in this chapter are shown in the Supplementary Material (SM) The absence of globally distributed marine microfossils in the Brazilian interior basins has historically prevented their correlation with global chronostratigraphic charts, therefore they have only been calibrated using local biozones so far. Here we report for the first time the occurrence of Leupoldina spp. in the Barbalha Formation, in thin sections (Fig. 5a) The lack of representatives of typical lower Aptian palynomorph-based biozones is probably due to paleoclimate exclusion41 We contend that paleoclimate dynamics might have controlled the local appearance and disappearance of plant species which directly affected the palynostratigraphic records The presence of agglutinating foraminifera in the sandstone deposits (1PS-10-CE) indicates brackish conditions possibly due to deltaic influence in this system resting above the fluvial facies of both wells reveals a generalized flooding event associated with an increase in the relative sea level reinforces the hypothesis of establishment of fully marine conditions during this interval the Batateira Beds record the reestablishment of lacustrine environments following a sea level drop associated with rhizobioturbation in facies F3 also indicate eventual subaerial exposure They are an impoverished expression of the Cruziana ichnofacies due to the introduction of brackish conditions in the distal portions of the fluvial setting These ichnological characteristics might reflect stressful conditions caused by salinity changes the presence of Scolicia associated with the Srw lithofacies suggests that salinity was sufficient to sporadically support the establishment of a stenohaline fauna The ichnological assemblages and micropaleontological data support this interpretation of flooding in both boreholes We dated the deposits of the Barbalha Formation for the first time based on the recovery of the planktonic foraminifera genera Leupoldina and Globigerinelloides which corresponds to the early Aptian/early late Aptian interval Three marine incursions (AMI-1 to AMI-3) were identified in the Barbalha Formation based on a multi-proxy analysis (micropaleontological The lower two occur in the Batateira Beds (lower Barbalha Formation) recording the primeval marine incursions into the Araripe Basin related to the breakup of the Gondwana and the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean is characterized by an abundance of the agglutinated foraminifera and minor occurrence of organic-walled dinocysts and calcareous dinocysts in the laminite deposits of the Batateira Beds of borehole 1PS-06-CE The mass mortality event of non-marine ostracods reinforces this marine incursion event in the upper part of the Barbalha Formation is characterized by the occurrence of bioturbation mainly represented by Scolicia as well as the presence of planktonic foraminifera Leupoldina spp These incursions are the oldest recorded so far related to the breakup of the Gondwana Supercontinent and the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean and paleomagnetism will contribute to the characterization of these marine deposits as well as the routes taken by these marine incursions We described and analyzed core samples taken from boreholes 1PS-06-CE and 1PS-10-CE, drilled by the Santana II Project53 in the eastern portion of the Araripe Basin and micropaleontological analyses were completed preferentially done in the fine siliciclastic and limestone lithologies (shales we provide the full dataset of microfossils/microbiofacies in the supplementary materials (SM) The characterization of the sedimentary facies of boreholes 1PS-06-CE and 1PS-10-CE followed the usual methods with description of physical sedimentary structures and basic lithology Intervals with no recovery were interpreted based on the accompanying well drilling data namely gamma-ray values (indirect data); a small portion was obtained from cut samples For the purposes of stratigraphic correlation the laminite deposits of the Batateira Beds in the lower part of the Barbalha Formation the levels containing serpulids and the ostracods mass mortality event identification of ichnotaxa was hampered by the loss of ichnotaxonomical features as well as the restrictions inherent to observations made using two-dimensional core surfaces due to its geographical proximity and relevant correlation to the stratigraphic sequence and consisted of the immersion of 20 g of sediment in 200 mL of deionized water with 3 mL of Extran for 24 h The sediments were then washed through 250 we imaged the most representative specimens in an EVO/MA15 Zeiss scanning electron microscope (SEM) No planktonic foraminifera species were recovered in washed samples probably due to the strong cementation and poor preservation of the material in the sampled interval their analysis was only possible through the thin sections made for microbiofacies studies All the studied material is currently stored in the micropaleontologic collection of the Museu de História Geológica do Rio Grande do Sul (MHGRS) under the curatorial numbers ULVG 13482 to ULVG 13491 Minimums of 200 palynomorphs were counted in each sample for the palynological method identification and counting were carried out with a Zeiss Imager.A2 microscope using bright field illumination and incident blue light (fluorescence mode) at 200×  Photomicrographs were taken using a Zeiss AxioCam MRc (Micropaleontology Reference Center) digital camera Our palynological analysis recorded pollen grains The slides are stored in the collection of the MHGRS under the curatorial numbers ULVG 13595 to ULVG 13682 Sample preparation for calcareous nannofossil analysis followed the decantation methodology described in Bown and Young57 Each sediment sample was fragmented in an agate mortar and placed in a Falcon tube with 40 mL of deionized water The solution was stirred for 30 s and then set to decant for five minutes The supernatant (approximately 0.2 mL) was then collected the coverslip was placed on a slide with Norland optical adhesive 61 and cured under UV light The slides were examined using a Zeiss Axio Imager.A2 microscope Data was processed using the software Zen 3.0 (blue edition) for micrometric measurements under the curatorial numbers ULVG 13492 to ULVG 13594 Lithology and preservation degree throughout the cored sections controlled the sampling interval Select intervals of alternated mudstone-packstone and shale-siltstone required higher sampling density while coarser-grained intervals were strategically undersampled We used a ZEISS Axioscope 5 petrographic microscope for microfossil identification and lithologic analysis We defined six semi-quantitative categories representing relative abundance based on the number of specimens of foraminifera counted: very abundant (> 40) under the curatorial numbers ULVG 13685 to ULVG 13722 The authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article and its supplementary materials Ogg, J.

Son of Iemanjá, Father of Saint, Son of Candomblé... it could be a story about the religion of African origin, as well as the elements coming from terreiros (houses and community complexes) to give rise to a shelter. Refúgio do Sol, as the name suggests: is a small cozy shelter that protects users from the scorching sun in the heart of the Brazilian hinterland. The drums gave space for the body movements of piling and throwing the earth: the rammed earth and the wattle and daub, respectively. Stringed instruments gave way to sewing thread to fix the plastic mesh, the skeleton of the reinforced mortar that makes up the hydraulic block. © Igor RibeiroThe artisanal construction process provided a unique experience transforming each stage into an experimental site This approach allowed everyone involved in the work and passersby to experience an enriching process You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email contribute to the house’s substantiality The design language navigates between the objective lines of brutalism and industrialism is exclusively located on the upper floor.  showcases strategic spatial integration on a limited plot the design prioritizes seamless integration of internal spaces with exterior landscaping visual privacy is maintained through closed facades facing the exterior the upper floor of Vão House houses the private sector the ground floor features a vast open space for social activities enclosed blocks on the ground floor serve specific functions external walls appear closed from the outside but feature strategic openings for ventilation and natural light materials such as red bricks and concrete blocks contribute to the design’s industrial style the purist aesthetic of Vão House is evident in its concise relationship between blocks and structure architect: FB+MP Architects | @fbmparquitetos lead architects: Felipe Barros and Mateus Pinheiro location: Barbalha photography: Igor Ribeiro | @igorilr The ad-free version is ready for purchase on iOS mobile app today we couldn't find that page";var n=e.querySelector("h2");return n&&n.remove(),{staticContent:e,title:t}},d=function(e){var t=document.createElement("button");return t.innerText=e,t.classList.add("error-page-button"),t},f=function(e){var t=document.createElement("div");t.id="recirculation-404",t.classList.add("brand-hint-bg");var n="\n \n \n \n \n \n '.concat(e,' Tick here if you would like us to send you the author’s response
