Students Residence THE CONCEPT In this project the concept of habitability is redefined in its different scales, setting the spaces that appear in a first point, the room, and its relationship with the outside and the rest of the building services which must promote the social interaction of the students. THE SITE Its location on a new development area in Sant Cugat del VallĂ¨s, considers the necessity to fit out public spaces and services inside the complex that will improve the habitability of a new residential area.

Introduction Ana Redondo

This portfolio is a collection of my works produced during the Master in Collective Housing in 2012. MCH has given to me the opportunity of having teachers of international prestige and the possibility of working in teams with participants from different countries. The rich knowledge acquired during the intensive masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program completes and improves my previous education and professional experience. The majority of the projects presented have been developed in a one-week workshop, a format that demands for clear ideas and a fast development of the projects. This kind of exercise is a training that takes out the best of you and prepares you for the future labour market MCH has been a major change in my professional career and in the way I approach the residential field and so, Architecture. 5

3 Topics to approch to housing Plot 1: Medieval Urban Structures Plot 2: XIX Century Urban Structures Plot 3: XXI Century Urban Structures Topic 1: Volumetry and site Topic 2: Structure and core location Topic 3: The envelope as an interface

What should be the qualities to achieve when we relate these sites and topics? This workshop puts on practice a design method to approach three different levels of a building and its response to the city in terms of density, public and private space, adaptability, materiality and lifetime.

Final Project: Medieval Urban Structures Volumetry and Site Continuity of the facades to create activities in the ground floor related to the service determined street. Creation of a courtyard to improve the qualities of the existing and future housing and to give and added value to the activities of the ground floor, which probably will be used as a inner outdoor space for a bar-restaurant. Inclination of the faรงade in the ground floor to emphasize the entrance to the inner courtyard (semi-public) and also to increase the dimension of the sidewalks in the streets.

Structure and Materiality Load bearing walls structure in brick to achieve materiality and plasticity. Brick facades with the openings modulated by the load bearing walls. Study of the possibility to create loggias in the upper floor to offer another type of private outdoor space very related to the medieval strategies.

What are the opportunities of accesibility, sunlight and structure in relation to its depht? In this workshop every MCH group studied a different depht in order to analyse the qualities of each typology and propose a design. 9 meter depth x 100 sqm are the parameters to define this project. What does it mean to have the typology which area is almost a square?

ANNE LACATON

The “PLUS Strategy” Workshop director Anne Lacaton Assistant Diego García-Setién Guests Almudena Ribot Duration 5 days

Madrid Riverfront After the competition of “Madrid Rio” the housing blocks that before were in a peripheric situation looking towards the highway M-30, have now a new relationship with the city looking towards a park. This change with the outside might be reflected in the living conditions of the interior of the dwellings. The workshop “Plus Strategy” puts into practise what should be the direction to follow in the renovation of the Madrid Riverfront: the relation between house and street. The idea is to give a new value to what now exists, taking the most of what is built and thinking in little additions that bring a big change in the living qualities, both to the house and to the urban context. 29

Madrid Riverfront The study analysis is focused in one of the most critical points along Madrid Rio were the city and the park are in different levels and the relation is totally disconnected by a wall.

HRVOJE NJIRIC

Luxury Housing Workshop director Hrvoje Njiric Assistant Nerea Calvillo Guests Iñaki Carnicero Jacobo García Germán Fernando Altozano Sebastian Severino José María de Lapuerta Duration 5 days

Party House What is luxury?...time...space...privacy...light...shadow...hedonism... In this workshop all the MCH groups worked together to produce a residential tower composed of different luxurious housign types which respond to specific requirements avoiding conventionalisms. We understand the concept of Luxury Housing as the possibility of other things to happen in a house. Party House is target for social and creative citizens that have a new quality of life concept based on relationships and expositions. The house recreates a social landscape that can be share with people or enjoyed alone. 39

JUAN HERREROS

Containers Re-Visited Workshop director Juan Herreros Assistant Mª Auxiliadora Gálvez Guests Edouard François Uriel Fogué Alessandra Kosberg Film director Víctor Moreno Duration 7 days

Urban Mountain Containers Re-Visisted is a research program that revises the thecniques used to think and design contemporary collective housing in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;areas of opportunityâ&#x20AC;? of our cities. This workshop will explore the alternative residential strategies, chosing the EspaĂąa Building in Madrid as the test structure. The Urban mountain project establishes a positive and imaginative attitude to conquer the obsolete empty mass of the building. Through this experimental approach we reformulate new ways of circulation and habitation, such as interesting promanades to reach the top or cave dwellings hidden from the nosiy urban environment of the center of Madrid. 45

Bike Lane in Colmenar Workshop director Francisco Burgos Ginés Garrido Assistant Javier Malo de Molina Guests Juan Merallo Grande Bárbara Pons Nicolás Maruri Mendoza Duration 5 days

5 Flows and Landscape Urban mobility and specifically bike lanes is the term of study during this workshop. The experience of cycling is attractive, aspirational and even cool, but it should also be secure. Colmenar is a conflict area where the car, the train and the bike must cohabitate. A grey and sharp landscape where speed is the main issue. The project proposed aims to transform the landscape working with lines of flows and topography. The idea is to change the speed of the place and the sensations from all the types of transportation: a new entrance to the city emphasized by a colorful landscape

WIEL ARETS

Tokyo Utopia 2085 Workshop director Wiel Arets Assistant Lena Wimmer Guests John Bezold Duration 5 days

Yorokobu The current situation of the world characterised by a social, economical and environmental crisis makes the necessity of new Utopias to appear. The city of Tokyo, chaotic, individualistic, overpopulated and technologically advanced, will be used as the scenario to imagine this future situation. With this figures as an argument Tokyo Utopia 2085 is the title of a Manifesto that needs to be writen... Yorokobu is the new title for this utopia and simulation, artificiallity and desire the key words.

Yorokobu is a place, a state of mind, a way of living, a dream... it is the pursuit of hapiness. 59

YOROKOBU BY Ana

Redondo

Yorokobu MANIFESTO Tokyo 2085 will be the AGE OF THE VIRTUAL where SIMULATION and ARTIFICIALITY will lead people’s lives. Technology will control and satisfy human’s needs recreating scenarios and experiences of real life. The homogenous is the rule to assure normalcy and the result is a technologically advanced society living in a mechanical world. The excessive exposure to the virtual has created a community of people constantly confused with what is reality and what is imagination. However, the REAL has never existed because it cannot be mentally processed.(1) The REALITY has always been what the subject has perceived or understood of the real; it is the individual’s mental processes; the MISREAD OF THE REAL. Reality is depending on the IMAGINARY ORDER (mental processes through images) and the SYMBOLIC ORDER (mental processes thorough language) of each individual, which varies according to every life experience. In YOROKOBU there is a new order, the VIRTUAL REALITY which is also ruled by the same mental processes of the REAL REALITY, the imaginary and the symbolic. Yorokobu is in between the BORDER of the REAL REALITY and the VIRTUAL REALITY, both subjective, and so, individualistic. In order to be sane, its inhabitants need to have a clear notion of the border between the DREAM, the EXISTENCE and the CONSCIOUSNESS.(2) The capability to differentiate the nature of their realities will lead them to reach HAPINESS. In the virtual reality HAPPINESS and DESIRES are INSTANT SATISFACTORS. The virtual makes everything more accessible and immediate, but it makes it also critical. This instantaneous character of the satisfaction has caused in some inhabitants the incapability of enjoyment because of an excess of positivism.(3) The need to constantly satisfy a new desire has made some people addicted to the virtual as if it were a drug.(4) You can reach happiness in a virtual world, but it will be only temporarily because form a virtual world you can enter and exit it, but never to remain. Again it is necessary to differentiate the NATURE OF HAPINESS, be conscious of the VIRTUAL DREAM you are living awake and fully enjoy the moment that it lasts. As in a DREAM, your HAPINESS is real but what is producing it is not. YOROKOBU is defined by an INDIVIDUALISTIC SOCIETY, where its inhabitants reach HAPPINESS through individualistic mental processes. The VIRTUAL REALITY is defined as a subjective space where each inhabitant

can live and enjoy its own UTOPIA. There is then a new concept of an individual utopia: the AUTOPIA (AUTO + UTOPIA). The architecture of the VIRTUAL AUTOPIA is the VOID, the NO PLACE: a HOMOGENEOUS EMPTY PLACE in REAL REALITY that becomes a HETEROGENEOUS COMPLEX PLACE in VIRTUAL REALITY. The NO PLACE is the door that allows the people to pass to the parallel world of the virtual. To be inside a NO PLACE the inhabitant need to connect its brain to the new virtual scenario. Scientifics are investigating how to connect the mental processes of the waking life to the NO PLACE, but by the moment it is only possible to be connected throughout the mental processes of the DREAM.(5) The dream controlled is what allows the “dreamer” to live his or her ideal utopia, the AUTOPIA. Once you are mentally connected inside the void you can control your dream and create a new IDENTITY belonging to a COMMUNITY.(6) These COMMUNITIES or CLUBS can connect the past with the present: You can choose the day when you want to live your day. Some of these clubs are keeping CULTURES alive, recreating ancient habits and costumes of the memory of their ancestors. The parallel world of the VIRTUAL is creating a huge amount of ENERGY due to the mental processes of the people connected to the DREAM. All the NO PLACES spread in the METROPILIS OF TOKYO are connected to create a strong ELECTRICAL NET to supply the energy needed in the REAL REALITY. Life in REAL REALITY is based on the principles of EQUALITY and JUSTICE. (7) Overpopulation has led to establish the common interest before the individual one. In order to assure security for future generations, inhabitants in the real reality are called to lead a moderate life. Their desires and needs cannot be satisfied in the real world, and the virtual is needed to complement. The society of Tokyo is educated to live in between the real reality of the PHYSICS and the virtual reality of the PSYCHIC (THE DREAM). To achieve the equilibrium of LIFE between these two realities will mean to achieve YOROKOBU, the ideal state of the eternal HAPINESS.

Yorokobu AGENDA 1. COEXISTENCE-BORDER between the REAL WORLD-REAL REALITY and the VIRTUAL WORLD-VIRTUALREALITY. 2. The VIRTUAL WORLD has to be COMPLEMENTARY to the REAL WORLD, never the contrary, because the VIRTUAL has to be used as a means, never as a mere end. 3. Satisfaction of the NEEDS of the humans by TECHNOLOGY and ROBOTICS. 4. Importance of the relation between DREAM, EXISTENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS to reach HAPINESS. 5. New meaning of HAPINESS and DESIRES in the virtual defined by INSTANT SATISFACTIONS. 6. Creation of VOIDS-NO PLACES: HOMOGENEOUS/EMPTY common places in the REAL REALITY transformable in HETEROGENEOUS/COMPLEX places in the VIRTUAL REALITY. 7. CAPSULAR SOCIETY-INDIVIDUALISM living on MENUS. 8. Virtual places to keep CULTURES-IDENTITIES-CLUBS alive: Choose the day when you want to live your day. 9. NEW CONCEPT OF INDIVIDUAL UTOPIA: AUTOPIA = AUTO + UTOPIA

DICTIONARY REAL: Actually being or existing; not fictitious or imaginary; as, a description of real life. In philosophy, relating to something as it is, not merely as it may be described or distinguished. REALITY: That which is real; an actual existence; not imagination, fiction, or pretense; that which has an objective existence and is not merely an idea. In psychoanalysis, Jacques Lacan distinguishes between THE REAL and REALITY. REALITY is what the subject perceives or understands of THE REAL. It belongs to the order of language, symbolically structured. THE IMAGINARY ORDER: mental processes through images. THE SYMBOLIC ORDER: mental processes through the language. THE REAL: what canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be mentally processed: it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be imagined or represented through words. It is an undetermined concept. The real appears in the field of sexuality, death, horror and delirium. IMAGINARY: Existing only in imagination or fancy; not real; visionary; ideal. SIMULATION: The act of assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true. ARTIFICIALITY: Feigned; fictitious; assumed; affected; not genuine. VIRTUAL: Having the power of acting without the agency of the material or sensible part; potential; energizing. / Being in essence or effect, not in fact; as, the virtual presence of a man in his agent or substitute. A thing has a virtual existence when it has all the conditions necessary to its actual existence. HAPINESS: An agreeable feeling or condition of the soul arising from good fortune; the pos session of those circumstances or the state of being which is attended with enjoyment; the state of being happy; contentment; joyful satisfaction; felicity; blessedness. DESIRE: The natural longing that is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of any good, and impels to action or effort its continuance or possession; an eager wish to obtain or enjoy. DREAM: A visionary scheme; a wild conceit; an idle fancy; in this sense, applied to an imaginary or anticipated state of happiness.

Low Cost Housing Workshop director Mª Teresa Díniz Assistant Belén Gesto Marion Katscher Guests Rainer Hehl Duration 5 days

Social housing in Sao Paulo The city of Sao Paulo is one of the biggest megapolis in the world with 11 million inhabitants. The problem of housing affects 30% of the population which live in precarious settlements. The analysis of the slam situation and the proposal of new housing will be the object of study of this seminar. The exercise will be focused on an specific area called Jardim Celeste. The necessity to analyse every single favela gives evidence of the complexity of the situation and the emergency of architecture and social housing as a public service.

Low Cost Housing in Sao Paulo Actuation area: Jardim Celeste The main strategy is to open this marginated area to the city through the creation of a linear parc that will connect the green areas now disconnected. The rehabilitation of the total area will help to integrate its inhabitants to the city.

Low Cost Housing in Sao Paulo The analysis of every single favela is needed in order to remove the minimum number of units. The situation of the favelas in areas of geothecnical risk and in places which lack of access and so salubrity have the priority to be removed. In the second phase the improvement of the public space andHOUSES infrastructure are the reasons for removals.

Typologies and Climates This specialty deals with energy systems and sustainability concepts. The wide range of guests teachers from different fields have given a complete view of what means sustainability today. The exercise consists on taking a housing project from and specific site and climate and addapt it to two new locations. The evolution of the initial typology into new typologies is the result of the strategies applied to get the best energetic performance. The formalization of the projects through sustainable criteria is the final result.

The Nodal City The effects produced by increased scales during the big urban developments in Spain before the crisis have result in solely residential area which lack of diversity and centrality. In this seminar, the concept of nodal city will be the work frame for the new urban master plan of Vallecas, a large area at Madrid Southeast. We understand a node as a center of activity, and so, as an activator for the expansion of the city. The creation of specific nodes working at the same time with areas of high density will be the key elements to create city.

Some existing definitions of a node 1

Refers to “space of flows” and “space of places” and translated the physical aspect of the meeting of spaces and flows as “nodes”. Manuel Castells. Sociologist and Urban planner, Spain

What are nodes? Areas that have compact, mixed-use development Serve the surroundings areas Contain a mix of low, medium and high residential areas Are often accesible by a good road network Hamilton. Planning and Economic Development Department

Centres of attraction that you can enter – A node is a centre of activity. Actually it is a type of landmark but is distinguished from a landmark by virtue of its active function. Where a landmark is a distinct visual object, a node is a distinct hub of activity. Kevin Lynch. Urban planner, United States
