Bachelor in Visual Arts: Painting, Engraving and Sculpture at Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo (2018 - 2021). Graduating in Architecture and Urbanism at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) (2024). Author of BIOLUMINESCENCE (2021), a bioluminescent pavilion designed for the Betary Reserve (located next to PETAR, in Vale do Ribeira - SP), built entirely from biorenewable materials, including 8 species of bioluminescent mushrooms endemic to the region, with the aim of promote a safe environment for the protection of local biodiversity and provide a form of economic development in response to low Human Development Indexes and high levels of social vulnerability. Scholarship researcher in "PERMANENCE IN AGUAHOJA I (2014-2020) BY NERI OXMAN: An analysis outlined by the General Theory of Systems and Semiotic Theory" (2020-2021), also authored by me. Each project, piece of art, design and research produced by Laura Tuccan is the result of an extensive transdisciplinary research and creation process. For me, Architecture, Art, Design and Science expand and overlap in a wide area of permeable borders with the aim of exploring the relationship between the Homo Sapiens species and the natural space it inhabits and transforms, in an effort to build sustainable spaces and a symbiotic relationship with nature.

Scholarship researcher

Authorship and development of the research "PERMANÊNCIA EM AGUAHOJA I (2014 - 2020) by Neri Oxman: An analysis outlined by the General Systems Theory and Semiotic Theory". Scientific research that starts from the hypothesis that art can articulate ideas, concepts and processes for the perception of the permanence of life and, when combined with science, can present solutions to ecological problems. It uses General Systems Theory and Semiotic Theory with a focus on the permanence parameter to describe and discuss the work Aguahoja I, authored by Neri Oxman together with the Mediatted Matter Group, as a case study. The analysis allowed an in-depth view of the parameter of permanence in the work and confirmation of its contribution to human permanence from the perspective of Unwelt dilation.
