ALEJANDRO GIL HERRERO ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO & CURRICULUM VITAE
Je suis né à Segovia, une petite mais ancien ville dans le centre d´Espagne. Avoir vécu dans un petit lieu m´a toujours invité a regarder vers l’extérieur, quitter le connu et chercher le inconnu et trouver un point de vue plus global. Je suis diplômé à la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Pendant ce temps j´étais très chanceux d ´avoir plusieurs opportunités de travailler, faire des recherches et voyager autour du monde. Après l ´université j´ai décidé continuer avec ma recherche de l´inconnu . Cela m´a permis travailler et appendre dans différents pays et continents; en Espagne, en Inde, en Malaisie, au Vietnam et en Australie. La raison principale qui m’encourage en cet objectif est le côté humain de l’architecture et les relations des gens dans l ´espace urbain. C'est le scénario urbain qui établit la base pour une vie en communauté, en collectif et non en tant qu’individus. Au fil des ans j´ai créé (toujours créer) un grand réseau international avec des personnes liées à l´architecture et éducation mais aussi de différents milieux. Je considère le monde comme ma classe, ma bibliothèque et mon terrain de jeu. Toujours en train d'apprendre et d'écouter les autres. Je pense que avec l´architecture, l´ urbanisme et le design on peut faciliter et fournir une base pour le changement vers un avenir plus prospère et égal pour tous.

Project info Title: Mixed used resort Architect: Space Matrix Location: Tây Ninh, Vietnam Year: 2017 Client: Chao Ltd. Status: Construction Documents
Summary
In a perfect location, Tay Ninh is a key point in the route Vietnam-Cambodia. The new development will be a mixed-use resort. The two main focus will be the Residential tower and the Hotel. A 3 levels podium will connect the whole complex providing with shopping area, sports facilities, cinemas, restaurants. The project is articulated around a inside public garden street.
Competences
My participation in the project was during the Concept Design phase; research, master plan, massing design, development of ideas, documentation of the project and delivery to the client. My competences included meetings with the client and visits to site.
Project info Title: Hospital extension Architect: Space Matrix Location: Da Nang, Vietnam Year: 2017 Client: Hoan My Ltd. Status: Under construction
Summary
The project is located in Da Nang in a problematic area of the city due to flooding. The facilities of the existing hospital needed an extension to provide with enough space for the program required. The new volume increases notoriously the number of beds, common spaces and a new reception and launch area for the whole complex.
Competences
I joint the project in the Construction Document phase and my main focus was the facade of the new building; research, selection of the construction system, documentation and cost. Also I was involve working in the documentation of the stairs and elevators and the connections with the old building.
Project info Title: Sydney Wanda One Hotel Architect: Kerry Hill Architects Location: Sydney, Australia Year: 2016 Client: Wanda Group Status: International Competition (2nd place)
Summary
The design proposal for the hotel delivers a highly activated ground plane which is defined by transparent frontages and strong, sculptural sandstone forms which anchor and connect the buildings to their geological and historical context. A sweeping curved podium draws pedestrians into the laneway network from Herald Square and Pitt Street. The upper volume of the building which contains the hotel rooms has been situated on the north to maximise views from the hotel rooms and to provide a generous distance to the southern neighbours minimising the impact of the development.
Hotel guest functions and publicly accessible areas of the hotel have been planned to maximise views to the north and also to activate Pitt St. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic are separated by level to provide seamless arrivals and departures to the hotel. Minor modifications are proposed to Building A to give greater coherency for the overall development.
Competences
My participation in the project was along the whole competition period. As part of the designing team I was involved in the whole process from the massing design till the final delivery of the project to the client. During the first phase of the project I worked in the concept design and once it got approved my main focus was developing the public spaces of the brief with special emphasis in the communication cores of the tower. My competences also covered the design of all the underground part of the program; managing circulations, access, parking, loading bays, plank and technical rooms. Also designing the ramp and dealing with the Sydney underground train which crosses the site.

Project info Title: Extention between Aalto’s museums Architect: Smar Architects Location: Helsinki, Finland Year: 2015 Client: Alvar Aalto Museum Status: International competition (3rd place)
Summary
What if, instead of designing a new building, the proposal follows what is already there, (the guidelines of the site) to find a natural connection with Aalto’s architecture? The proposal creates a sequence of natural/artificial and outdoors/indoors multipurpose spaces that celebrate the work of the great Finnish architect.
Competences
As part of the designing team I was involved in the whole process from the massing design till the final delivery to the panel. I worked in the design concept and in the development of it till the end including all the documentation on the project.

Project info
Summary
Title: Fiesta del Corral Cervantes Architect: Alejandro Gil & Patricia Ocaña Location: Madrid, Spain Year: 2018 Client: Fundación Siglo de Oro Status: International competition - shortlisted
Setup for a baroque festival. The public space has always been the gathering point for the inhabitants of a place to socialise and have a life in community. Trying to bring that philosophy into our proposal, we seek for a solution where the program was fully integrated in a succession of semi-open spaces. We seek to win the street back and fill it up again with action and activities and giving back to the space its real importance. The theatre, the gastronomy, the arts&crafts, the literature, the music…all of them gather together in this celebration and tribute of the Spanish Golden Century of Arts; The baroque period.

From stu dying and learning to researching, experimenting and testing and finally ending with the development of new your organisations and startups comÂmitted with the environment and sustainability. The main entrance is located in the central volumen. This space works as a big lounge area which conects the visitor with all the departments. A big stair rises until the rooftop linking the three floors and creating double and triple heights. This space will be home to events and exhibitions or just a beautiful space for meeting, resting and socializing. Another hotspot in the building is the Incubator where all the masonery walls have been removed and accomodate a coworking space destined for new young companies and firms.
Project info Title: Lighthouse resort Architect: Alejandro Gil Herrero Location: Siracusa, Italy Year: 2015 Client: Archideas Status: International competition
Summary
The Lighthouse resort keeps the old lighthouse tower as the genesis and hearth of the project. The hotel is displayed continuing the profile of the coast. The programme takes place in different lines which follows the topography and the movement of the waves. The public progamme and facilities, such as the reception building, offices, the restaurant and the Spa centre, are disposed in a first line taking advantaged, restoring and occuping the old buildings. The private programme, the suites, are disposed down to the way to the cliffs. The bedrooms are located in three moduls facing the sea. The Lighthouse Hotel is built up with materials which harmonize perfectly with the old lighthouse, the colours, the textures and the sea. The combination of concrete and corten steel cladding talks with the environment creating a sober and beautiful spot.
