TuanCheng Productive Park
Haidan, BEIJING, China.
December 2011. International Studio collaborating: Tsinghua University, School of Architecture UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Responsible tutors: Miquel Vidal, Wu Dongfan (in collaboration with 周琳, 陈之曦, 姜滢, A.S. Rodriguez)
The TuanCheng Sustainable Productive Park deals with the introduction of a large infrastructure -a regulation pond serving the whole city of Beijing with water coming from the South of China- close to a highly historical place: the Summer Palace. The design, illustrating the both Chinese and European backgrounds of the authors, takes as origin the questioning some of the characteristics of Chinese architectural tradition. Rather than demolishing everything and designing a new park over, the project tries to mantain the current identity of the place, even if it is probably not the best area of the city. It gives value not only to the historical heritage, but to the very simple everyday settlement. The park tries to potenciate people’s place attachment rather moving them away. Also the design attempts to introduce productive activities into the park, allowing people who currently live there to stay. This is achieved through several spines coming from the sorrounding urban fabric, producing relationships all along a limit that was suposed to be a sort of wall. Hence the park becomes something socially sustainable and is able to give -not only recieve- something to the city.

Leith Docks Cultural Hybrid
Leith Port, EDINBURGH, Scotland, UK.
June 2011. Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh Diploma year (DipArch). Well-being Studio Diploma year Coordinator: Derek Fraser. Studio Tutor: Iain Scott
The project arises from a profound analysis of the characteristics of the place, specially its condition of border between different parts of the urban and social fabric. The “old Leith”, with its strong identity, and the “new Leith”, still to be built, collide at the site; and the building attempts to be the physical representation of that collision. Planned as a social catalyst, the project would concentrate the energies coming from those two layers of the city, building a bridge in a metaphorical (and also actual) way. Thus providing a public space of quality which can serve both sides of the imaginary border is the main aim of the design. The formal expression attempts to actually build the lines that underlay the memory of the place. But, is memory just what actually happened? Can one include what could have happened and never did? Sometimes the archaeology of the imagination reveals more truth than the archaeology of the reality.
“sometimes the archaeology of the imagination reveals more truth than the archaeology of the reality”

I'm asked to write about intentions; about my architectural intentions in proposing an architectural experience in a specific place. I have pieces of thoughts, fragments of an entire story that i do not know how to tell. so let's just write down that, let's write an architectural story made up by fragments . let's make a little book which will really be a collage. let's play cards, cutting out chapters apparently disconnected and sticking them again with the glue of my intention. some of them will be specific, others more poetic. some of them will be completely banal, and others will be deep as the ocean; but all of them will make up my architectural manifesto. all this 'chapters', little stories themselves, will act together as the blinds in the painting on the left, so strongly connected by the specific meaning written at the bottom that each one will need the others to acquire significance and, if some of them falls, all of them will also fall.

Dalí TV
FIGUERES Castle, Catalunya, Spain.
June 2010. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Design Studio X Main Professors: J. Coll, C. Jover. Studio Tutors: A. Sanmartín, E. Rojas, N. López
sThis project for a new tv studio located at the Figueres Castle, so as the Catalan Space University, is about process. The design arises form the intersection of two series of ruins or found architectures: one existing in the place; the other overlapped to it, coming from something apparently strange to architecture and traslated into it. The existing architecture takes place as the form of the castle, considering it as a heritage we can manipulate. The other one comes from the definition of a term (a verb, an action) related to the programme: to tune. The different television waves of the different tv channels that can be tuned from the castle are drawn on the place, strictly following their scale, taking as axis the wall of the castle. These two architectures collide and provide space for the new uses. As in the CSU design, further structural and technical information is intersected with the aim of achieving an actual architectural material.
“the design arises from the intersection of two found architectures: one existing in the place, the other strange to it”

Catalan Space University
FIGUERES, Catalunya, Spain.
January 2010. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Design Studio IX Main Professors: J. Coll, C. Jover. Studio Tutors: A. Sanmartín, E. Rojas, N. López
This project faces the power of the process of translation in the architectural design generation. The existence of something called the “origin” of the project is refused. Architecture would be hence a question of traslating information from something to drawing and from drawing to construction or the other way around. Taking an Isaac Asimov’s sci fi short story, the architectural information latent on the story is traslated into a diagram to whom several purely architectural operators are practicated (sectioning, modelling, flattening, mirroring...). Then this architectural entity is located on the place, somewhere on the border between Figueres and its castle, so as to host the new Catalan Space University. At that moment, that architecture is intersected with highly specific programme requirements, as well as with structural and thechnical information. The final aim is getting a drawing that is able to be subject of the last architectural translation process: the construction

You must have created the bronze room immediately after I placed my signature on the paper, for when I burst out of the room, I found myself just at the point in time at which I was making the bargain with you. There you were again; there I was; you were pushing the contract toward me, together with a stylus with which I might prick my finger. To be sure, as I had moved back in time, my memory of what was becoming the future faded out, but not, apparently, quite entirely. As you pushed the contract at me, I felt uneasy. I didn’t quite remember the future, but I felt uneasy. So I didn’t sign. I turned you down flat.” Shapur ground his teeth. “I might have known. If probability patterns affected demons...” (...)

Parliament of Catalunya
Pl Glòries. BARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain.
June 2009. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Design Studio VIII Main Professor: Aquiles Gonzalez. Studio Tutor: Andreu Arriola (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo, S. Azurmendi, A.S. Rodriguez)
The location of the new seat for the Catalan Parliament is in a highly strategical point: the Glòries Square, one of the few points that Cerdà left with a vague solution in his 1859 masterplan for the city of Barcelona. The parliament would be on the North side of a large urban park, so the design proposes the creation of a hilly landscape that covers the whole site and attepts to invade the park. This new parliament needs to be the image for a emerging society, but the design is willig to achieve more a conceptual image than a postcard-like cliché. The design takes the idea that the parliament should build the link between the landscape and the society and between the society and the individual. The hilly section would be the Monserrat Mountains, but it also would be the Mediterranean Sea. Landscape, society and individuals are then joint by democracy.

Thalassotherapy Centre Il Lido di VENEZIA, Italy.
January 2009. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona in collaboration with IUAV (Instituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia) Design Studio VII Main Professor: Aquiles Gonzalez. Studio Tutor: Andreu Arriola
The design proposes a connection between Venezia and the sea. It takes position as a lighthouse over the Laguna, relating it to the immensity. The last floor of the building justifies the whole fact, becoming a place from where one can contemplate the medieval city and the Mediterranean Sea at the same time. The building elevates sofly from the ground, creating a tectonic construction closely connected to the place. A fisher net covers the facades, allowing vegetation to grow up and attracts the building to become part of the site. Inside, a climate buffering space is located between all the rooms. Formed by two layers of glass, a material taken from the memories of Venezia, it would cause a sensation of strangeness, a sort of mist that you would be able to experience walking through the building.

120 houses at La Barceloneta
BARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain.
June 2008. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Design Studio VI Main Professor: Pere Joan Ravetllat. Studio Tutor: Jordi Badia. (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo)
This project faces a challenging situation: we are requested to build 120 dwellings on the Barceloneta’s maritime front. However, we find truly interesting the way it confronts with the sea nowadays. We certaily believe that building something strange there would change radically the strong identity of the place. So from this aspects we like arises the concept of the design: what would happen if we just build the way in which Barcelona arrives to the sea? Our building is just the built diagram of the actual spatial relationships occurring on the site. Two long and narrow stripes flow between the current front and the coast, attemting to be as less intrusive as possible. The stipes draw the spacial movements we like in la Barceloneta, leaving a free ground floor for the activities that currently take place there. We have just drawn the memory of the place...

Dwellings in Zona Franca
BARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain.
January 2008. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Design Studio V Main Professor: Pere Joan Ravetllat. Studio Tutor: Jordi Badia. (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo)
The site for this large housing development is located in an old industrial area, with already an excess of open spaces. In confrontation with that, we propose to fill almost the whole site with built space, to segregate and give value and meaning to the public space. We also propose to replace the usual relationship of the house with the street by another new one with the sky. We propose to subdivide the public space and split it into every apartment. In order to do this, the most common typology in our building will look back in history to the very first Mediterranean building traditions. We will build a couryard house in the middle of the city, elevated from the ground and covered by a brick lattice. As a counterpoint to that introverted carpet, we propose a tower that looks further, linking the sea whith the site and the site with the whole city.

Urban Regeneration
Rambla del Carmel. BARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain. January 2010. UPC, Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona Urban Design Studio VI Main Professor: Stanislao Roca. Studio Tutor: Daniel Navas. (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo)
This proposal for the regeneration of la Rambla del Carmel attemtps to connect several parts of the urban fabric that had been progressively divided over the years due to the construction of a large underground tunnel. The aim is hence to find a middle point between the needed infrastructure and the strong identity of the place. In the earliest stages of the design, an old map showing the previous urban division was taken and studied. In an attempt to formally anchor the intervention to the somewhat latent memory of the place, we selected the main lines of that division and extracted a basic pattern out of them. The buildings are placed over this pattern, giving response to every different section. The very long and narrow buildings, recalling the the bypass below, contrast with the highly studied pavement plan. Six high buildings are located all over the intervention, giving meaning to specific places and creating visual and psychological connections between themselves and the rest of the urban fabric.
“the middle point between the needed infrastructure and the identity of the place”
Our main concern was to bring to the surface the memory of what the place was, without forgetting the intention of doing a powerful design. The decision was very simple: we would bring back to the land of the living every line from the old subdivision, as a way to anchor the design to the site.
