CAD 3 Center / DPFP UFMG

The project was conceived collectively by means of an innovative methodology led by teacher, researcher and architect Maria Lucia Malard. This collective, non-hierarchical conception allowed the six architects of different ages, backgrounds and experiences to propose and discuss the architecture of this building in design workshops. Thus, several conception sessions were made within the extinct DPFP (department of physical planning and projects at UFMG - Federal University of Minas Gerais) and also counted on the collaboration of its designers for the sequence and development of the project. The idea was to collectively create an institutional building under the premises of the university master plan and without authorship.
