PORTFOLIO RESEARCH PROFILE Albert Brenchat Aguilar My architectural experiences started up in a broad understanding of the profession. little by little, I have been steering my profile towards research through practice. My profile is based on my curiosity and living experiencies and the admiration towars those who, from a wise attitude, give their objective and sensitive point of view of the world. I offer my skills so as to face up new challenges and circumtances, and what is more important, to enjoy them.

1. Anthropology of the Spaces Research The spaces are mainly built for make humans feel safe and comfortable. But should not be always the main purpose. Sometimes the users are animals or plants, so they need different space configurations. Sometimes, the users are not likely to feel quiet but to activate their senses, to interact with the building and its sorroundings, and to have difficult relationships with their fellows.
Can we help people to understand their environment?

2. Design Research Through design we can find new ways of living. Everything has already been created and invent anything seems unuseful in the current world. However, the most interesting part is the design process. It connects people, the advisors, the colleages, friends, family, furniture, etc If the process is emotionally resourcefull, the result is likely to be phisically useful.
2.A. International Workshop in Istanbul Development of an “isolated� area in the city centre The surprising case of the Golden Horn
2.B. Final degree project Intervention in a Biosphere Reserve to protect it This dilema leads to the temporality of a building
2.C. Equestrian Centre in Fรถt, Hungary A beech forest and a private property How to transform respect towards nature into a suggestive financial idea. The horses must live sorrounded by the nature so as to grow healthy
3. Lightning Research Light can be conceived in too many ways. My main interest is to analyse what others did before, and reuse it in my architecture projects.
BP. VII. KER. KAZINCZY U. 14 This pub seams to be made of rubbish but this spirit of reclycling thing is its best. Here you can find a lot of different chairs, baths to sit on, old cars. All the lamps are made of rubbish, and the redish light given is very special inside. But also you can enjoy a coffe in the morning with a very soft light coming fron the top.

BP. VI. KER. DOB U. 15 Mumus, conversely, has an atmosphere to cherish. With such a mild October, it remained a kert-based operation until November; and it's a lovely kert. A huge tree at one end draws the eye skywards and gives a sense of nature and space. Tables fashioned from old metal barrels don't sound inspiring but they are, in fact, inspired: the light inside escapes through holes pierced in the sides and they look... enchanting.
BP. VI. KER. DOB U. 18 For a basement bar, Lámpás is pretty cosy, despite being fairly rudimentary. The huge silver pipes are disguised with green netting. Where the ceiling is low enough for you to bump your head, they've placed ample wedges of foam (making it all the more likely that you will bump your head, if in a pleasant kind of way.) Like the vast majority of atmospheric bars in Budapest, Lámpás leans towards the red, despite a variety of coloured lamps and globular fairy lights.
As the weather picks up, people arrive in droves, crowding the steps leading down into the "ditch." Loners with books, gear-heads with their bicycles, and friends hanging out in the sun, blanket nearly every inch of space, inside and out, day and (especially) night. BP. VIII. KER. RÁKÓCZI U. 21

Walking upstairs from the ground level entrance to the cafe, you may feel like you’ve stepped into a time machine and landed in a flapper-era cinema . The beautiful deep-blue patterned wallpaper, gold trimmed walls, antique chandeliers and ornate ceiling all contribute to a unique atmosphere.

BP. V. KER. DEÁK TÉR During the winter months, Gödör is a like a hibernating bear: on the inside it's very much alive, but above ground, there's not much going on. With the first signs of spring, the bear (stick with it) emerges from its cave.

During the daytime the inner courtyard looks as normal one but at night it changes becoming a warm place with a red light ambient.

Here you can find also interior spaces with an artificial light perfect for the concerts or just to have some beers with your friends.

3.A. Light on way What is the influence of lightning in those famous ruin bars that attract so many people? 3.B. El Parasol Why does new squares in Budapest lack of nature? Let’s replace it for a while with artificial shadows!
‘We are at the edge of another world, it is tragic, and it is marvellous’. This statement, makes us feel conscious of the situation of the world in which we are living. As a consequence, our projects require, more than ever, new approaches which suit the land and the inhabitants who live in it.
Let’s find sensitiveness or at least let’s enjoy the process !
