ELEVATED METRO RIYADH LINES 1 & 2 Office: AECOM

Location: Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Date: 2014-2015

The Riyadh Metro transportation system provides an attractive, efficient and sustainable railway infrastructure that will encourage Riyadh inhabitants to use public transportation services, in safety and comfort, instead of private cars. The project was done using BIM methodology and the modelling was done with REVIT. The Madrid office was responsible for Architecture, MEP and Structures, and the coordination of these 3 disciplines was key for the correct development of such complex project.

PRIVATE CAREHOME IN LONDON Office: RSP Architects

Location: London, United Kingdom

Date: 2013-2014

The key ideas:: -Designing a symmetrical plan that allows for maximal repetition of elements around a central public block for factory prefabrication. -Providing every room with dual aspects; maximised social contact towards the developments central gardens and a more private aspect towards a quieter space away from these. -Physically and operationally, each floor is divided into smaller, self contained sub-homes each of 8 rooms. We designed two options for the client, he wanted an appeiling private carehome, one option would be a more contemporary formal approach, and the other one a more classic looking one, we used this to our advantage and we not only acted accordingly on the facade, but we included two different types of typologies which we saw were used in carehomes all over the UK, the cross and the courtyard . We opted for it to be prefabricated because of the advantages that we found in it, sustainability, costs, time. etc... The key ideas for this schemet were: -Designing a prefabricated block that can be repeated at 90 degree rotations around the sites centre. - Maximasing each residents connection with outdoor green space. - On the ground level, internal walls are minimised so that an open plan space creates continuity between the outdoor and indoor residentÂ´s communal amenities. - Each wing on each floor acts as a self contained home of an optimal number of residents to seem intimate and familiar.

GROUND FLOOR

FIRST FLOOR

THE OYEEMAN Location: Accra, Ghana

Date: 2013-2014

The first 2 floor are used for retail, the other 7 floors are all owned by the same company, they wanted a fast and low cost project. We opted for the traditional contruction method in Ghana today, concrete with a layer of white paint. The top floor is used as a penthouse for the clients, a place where meetings could take place and at the same time they could host a private gathering between them and their different investors.

A TAPESTRY OF ROCHDALE Office: RSP Architects

Location: Rochdale, United Kingdom

Date: 2013-2014

Rochdale, a suburb of northeast Greater Manchester, has a population of nearly 95,000. Like many industrial towns in the UK, Rochdale has experiences serious decline and deprivation following the collapse of its main industry. However, it is now recovering thanks to a number of locally driven regeneration programmes, yet Rochdale suffers from a lack of Identity. Rich in history Rochdale itself concentrated on woollen textiles and grew rapidly during the nineteenth century, attracting many immigrants to work in the mills. However, this all changed with the industrial revolution giving rise to high unemployment. Shops aswell-as the factories closed and the town centre became very run down. Today Rochdale suffers from the same ‘inner-city’ decay that affects much of the UK. What makes Rochdale unique is its Historic Centre, with Grade I listed buildings; paths, passages and links creating journeys and bridges that weave the town together. Rochdale is currently undergoing urban regeneration – economic, social, environmental cultural not just physical regeneration. This scheme looks the Butts area where the river has been opened up, but also focuses on a wider context. Rochdale is made up of broken fragments of dispersed commercial buildings, brownfield sites, residential streets and civic buildings, creating a poor image of high-unemployment and low consumer purchasing – an image that is being challenged. Our scheme looks at the history of the town and celebrates its success; tapestry and cooperatives. If you consider Rochdale as a fabric of different materials, we are proposing to stitch these materials together with visual bridges, street furniture, pavilions and ephemeral materials. In doing this the overall scheme focuses on: - Rebuilding the towns economic base; - Creating a safe and attractive public realm and promoting the town’s architectural heritage; - Developing a cultural programme to promote local pride and social cohesion and attract visitors; - Linking employment and training opportunities for local people to all new investments.

Fragments of Space

Preserved Sites

Rochdale is a town made up of fragments broken apart. There are clear zones of activities across the town, separated by physical borders; roads or hand rails and visual borders such as planting which assists in creating the separation of these different zones and the prevention of pedestrian movement at street level.

Sites of natural beauty as well as heritage sites are to be preserved and enhanced as part of the strategy.

Threads

Tapestry of Rochdale

Threads stretch out the length of the Town drawing people into the centre. They act as navigational tools to find key buildings as well as the existing tour routes around the Town.

Using a series of paths as links to stitch the different fragments of the Town together. At certain points, public moments of interaction are created.

Great importance has been attached to changing the image of the town (by giving outsiders good reasons to visit it and see its new development) and to seeing culture as a central part of regeneration, not just as a luxury add-on – because culture is the essence of the town. Rochdale can become the gateway between the City (Manchester) and the Garden (South Pennines). Links and pathways are created physically, this takes many forms but is a metaphorical stitch drawing you into the centre of the town which is kept open for the use as an event space, an open platform for live musicians/performances and to bring back the market which was a rich icon for the town.

Links and Pathways

Existing paths and links are problematic to follow, they become interconnected and create confusion for pedestrians.

This is based on identifying and building on the potential strengths – physical, social, economic – of the town in ways that will help bring it sustainable success in the future, within the context of Manchester, a flourishing city-region. Approach to Urban Regeneration - Sustainable urban regeneration is about creating benefits spreading them out to local places and people. - The strategy supports regenerating Rochdale’s economy and to change its image to potential investors and new residents. - Promoting culture is an integral part of urban regeneration, not an add-on. Cultural activities attract new people as well as helping to build up confidence and encourage social cohesion. - Regeneration strategy aims to build on its residual strengths (cooperatives, speciality textiles) and to create a centre which people wish to visit and investors wish to invest in. With an increasing decline in high-street activity, we would suggest that Rochdale considers bringing offices and start-up facilities into the centre of the town. This can be achieved by re imagining the possibilities of the existing infrastructure, for example, Wheatsheaf is seen as an unsuccessful shopping centre that is pushed to one side of town. There has been a recent trend for home-start companies and internet-based companies looking for premises for their expanding businesses and the Wheatsheaf could be used for this. Another example of utilising the unused space in the town would be to incentives cooperatives to create learning PODS, which can provide practical training to help prepare local people for a range of cultural facilities, as well as creating opportunities for local participation and for local jobs. These threads of economic activities assist in developing a cultural strategy that provides the opportunity for celebrating the town’s industrial past for reducing social and ethnic divisions. Which inturn would allow the ‘Town Hall’ to become a ‘culture factory’ with a theatre/concert hall, exhibition space, hire space for weddings and other celebrations, as well as an observation deck behind the ‘Town Hall Clock Face’. It is through improve the quality of life of existing residents and to attract in new enterprises to the town and creating local employment opportunities, that peoples mind-sets will begin to change - the image of Rochdale will be re branded and the population dispersal of the town can revert. Our threads that spread out across the town are the physical and imagined threads of Rochdale’s past, present and future.

TEMA Office: RSP Architects

Location: Accra, Ghana

Tema remains Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main industrial export hub. As such there is a marked increase in commercial activities within the city. Strategically the site slopes around 8 meters, this lends the scheme to create a new podium deck which can be used for car parking /plant below and treating the top of the podium as ground floor where from the north boundary free flow movement can access the site and we suggest the convention centre/offices, whilst along the south boundary a definition is created between the highway and the site. The building language is inspired from the meridian line which sits neatly to the south east of the site. The meridian line is the imaginary geometry that covers the surface of the world, marking the shift in time between morning and evening. Building elements use geometric shapes that follow the meridian geometry, creating shopping arcades whose architecture frame views of social interaction and communication. The facades of the buildings are broken down through the use of lines, which translates into: ribs, beams and walls, to draw the eye along the building and create fluidity through the spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; encouraging people to walk through and explore the site. A result of which is the creation of multiple perspective views and a game of shadows. The Meridian is the point at which the geometry of the world becomes entangled, playfully inviting the public to enjoy the game of shadows.

Fengtai Technology Park Regional Planning Proposal Office: RSP Architects

Location: Beijing, China

Date: 2012-2013

The project is based in Beijing, china, at the southwest, between the 4th and the 5th ring. Beijing is growing to the south since to the north they have already expanded enough. Most of the projects happening here are residential, and where there is residential you need commercial and offices, and that´s what this project is. We will find a financial building, a business, justice and creative center.

It was clear the requirements for the project, we had to design a commercial street, trying to maintain at all times an unity between all the different towers. to do this we decided to create exterior pedestrian spaces where not only circulation took place but also public spaces to rest. by doing this we managed to link the whole street creating even a bridge over the street.

YINTAI - CONCEPT DESIGN COMPETITION Date: 2012-2013

Studying the traditional architecture found in Ghana we learn how important the geometry of the circle is in their culture. Not only found in their temples, but in their homes as well. We interpretated their traditional architecture and designed a new more contemporary approach. Highlighting the game of sun and shadows over the darkness of their traditional architecture, limited to that because of their knowledge in construction.

Office: RSP Architects

Location: Yintai, China

Date: 2012-2013

The project in Yintai was a quite unique situtation, the client asked us to design a space to attract people from town, it didnt need to be something that would generate money such as a retail space, or shopping mall, it was to be only a place of recreation. After going to Yintai and studying the city we came to the conclusion that the most important element that they possesed was the sea, but the people from Yintai never went to the beach because of the type of sand their beaches had. So what we thought of was to create different pools that depending on the "tide" would be used as pools or as spaces for outdoor activities such as concerts, etc...
