Nitsche Arquitetos had the opportunity to design Guarujá House in a challenging as well as privileged location a residential development in the depths of the Atlantic forest within the limits of the city that gives its name to the house where only 30% of the land on the plots is buildable To overcome the challenging slope of the site the studio opted for a service level in the basement to house the five-place garage sauna and spa with views of the lush vegetation surrounding the house The central floor of Nitsche Arquitetos' project is conceived as a space that complements the other two levels surrounded by sliding glass panels that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors supported by a structure of four pillars and two large steel trusses contains five bedrooms with en suite bathrooms have large concrete panels that energise the façade and can be closed to preserve the privacy of the users The construction process was conditioned by the limited working space which is why prefabricated materials and on-site assembly were used Project description by Nitsche Arquitetos located in the city of Guarujá on the coast of São Paulo sits within a gated community that is part of a protected area of the original Atlantic Forest To preserve the richness of this native forest local regulations permit only 30% of the land area to be developed The challenge was to accommodate a program that required at least 450 m² of built space the latter offering views of the surrounding forest there is a small accommodation for a couple of employees as well as a laundry room and a storage area Four steel pillars elevate the volume of the bedrooms creating a free space between the first floor and the basement and the shade created by the structure defines the social area The central floor is an almost entirely open space allowing views of the forest from all angles Cement folding panels ensure privacy while adding dynamism to the façade Large sliding glass doors allow the bedrooms and kitchen to seamlessly merge with a covered outdoor space dissolving the boundaries between interior and exterior creating a cohesive integration of all spaces on this level The construction process was more of an assembly of components than a traditional on-site build minimizing waste and speeding up construction time This approach was especially effective given the limited work area utilizing industrialized materials to their fullest potential Nitsche Arquitetos André Scarpa Nitsche Arquitetos is an architecture studio founded by Lua Nitsche Pedro Nitsche and João Nitsche based in São Paulo Their work is based on combining technique and art to produce projects ranging from furniture design to urban planning Their architecture stands out for its lightness Lua Nitsche was born on 29 November 1972 in São Paulo She graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo Graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo Archive Architecture Watch today's top stories and most popular videos which provide you with features like past/future radar and customizable layers Trust us to help you plan the best day possible with the most accurate weather forecast available We recognize our responsibility to use data and technology for good We may use or share your data with our data vendors The Weather Channel is the world's most accurate forecaster according to ForecastWatch, Global and Regional Weather Forecast Accuracy Overview O endereço abaixo não existe na globo.com Update your browser to view this website correctly.

A sign with a drawing of ex-president Lula during a protest calling for his freedom in Brazil's capital city It was already night on Saturday, April 7 2018, when the helicopter of the Federal Police landed on top of the Headquarters of the Federal Police in Curitiba bringing with it the most popular president in Brazil’s recent history His incarceration would mark the destiny of Brazilian politics wherein he promised to resist the unjust imprisonment and continue struggling to prove his innocence Lula receives support from fellow party members and activists from people's movements outside the Metal Workers' Union in the Greater São Paulo-ABC Metropolitan Area, hours before he presented himself to the authorities in Curitiba What brought the greatest political leader of the country to prison Brasil de Fato has been looking to answer these and more questions over the past few years since the beginning of the legal persecution unleashed by the agents of the Operation Car Wash The whole operation was broadcast live on major media outlets that were previously advised about the operation as the ex-president Lula himself denounced after being freed the defense of the ex-president began to publicly denounce the practice of what they call “lawfare” against Lula it consists of a strategy that coordinates judicial decisions with media actions condemning them before the investigations are concluded the practice of lawfare can be identified in different moments where an unusual processing is perceived in the legal process with political objectives the problems related to lawfare are not limited to just this “We have questions related to the nature of the judge The contamination of judge Sérgio Moro in this case is very evident and not just in this one but in several others where there is a prejudgement and this is something that leaps out at us.” Lula was accused of being “the chief” of the entire corruption scheme revealed in the state-owned oil company On September 20, 2016, the then judge of the 13th Criminal Court of Curitiba, Sérgio Moro, decided to accept the charges brought by the public prosecutor's office against Lula in the Guarujá beachside apartment case. According to the Car Wash Task Force the ex-president supposedly received a bribe from the construction company OAS in the form of a beachside triplex apartment in the city of Guarujá the ex-president is accused of passive corruption and money laundering Lula gave a testimony for the first time to a judge in Curitiba the defense of the ex-president presented evidence that the apartment had never been the property of the family Lula da Silva as the lawyer Cristiano Zanin Martins explains “The prosecution has not been able to prove the guilt of former president Lula as well as by an appeals court that upheld it, is based fundamentally on the testimony of a co-defendant a testimony without any commitment to the truth, a person that is clearly interested in obtaining benefits from the Public Prosecutor’s Office we have proven during many different hearings that former President Lula did not perform an illicit act nor did he receive any sort of benefit in return contrary to what was affirmed by the charges brought by the prosecution.” Moro sentenced Lula to nine years and six months in prison in closed conditions lacks legal criteria that are well defined by the Brazilian Constitution and laws “[It is] a sentence that does not consider all of the evidence of the defense and listens only to the word of the informal snitch.” The decision by the lower court would be later upheld in an appeals court on January 24 when all of the polls on voting intention indicated Lula as the front-runner in the presidential elections of that year Even with the arrest of the former president on April 7, the judge Sérgio Moro did not walk away completely from the case, as the rule of the legal system dictates. On July 8, the duty judge Rogério Favretto recognized the illegality of the imprisonment of Lula and ruled that he should be released The decision generated a war of injunctions and ended up not being enforced after the direct intervention of Judge Moro and what we saw happen that weekend was an embarrassing chapter in the history of the criminal process exactly because nothing similar has ever been seen: a war of decisions in one weekend,” Hideo says.  Sérgio Moro was announced Minister of Justice in the new government.  All original content produced and editorially authored by Brasil de Fato may be reproduced provided it is not altered and proper credit is given All original content produced and editorially authored by Brasil de Fato may be reproduced provided it is not altered and proper credit is given.
