ARTIFICIAL ARCHITECTURE, THE WATER PARADIGM LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM “The project intends to reflect over the ways of working nowadays and the relations that may exist between work and life outside it. The main idea is to create 5 architecture studios that can function independently or collaboratively depending on the job; at the same time, to create 5 dwellings and establish the most appropriate relations for working and living”. [Master’s final project]
Demolition of the Central Electric building
Reactivate the Canal’s towpath
Location plan
Regent’s Canal as the main protagonist of the site
Site The Central Electric building is the only one remaining from the canal openening back in 1820. This is an urban barrier that impede a developement of the city and the use of the canal for the people to enojy. It has no architectural value whatsoever so it becomes a very atractive site for an urban regeneration project.

EXPERIMENTAL HOUSING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE VITORIA, SPAIN “The aim is to propose alternative solutions to the traditional model of social housing, which address the housing problem of young people in their first stage of independence”. [Group work]
Concept The project is inspired in Vitoria´s medieval wall sorrounding the city thus creating its life from within. The buliding therefore becomes something massive with a very opaque wall to the exterior and very open to an interior patio just like the existing typologies. It closes around itself becoming a precinct with two different languages.
Site plan
Materiality The exterior is a great wall, masive, made of gray brick. The interior is more domestic, with a white stucco facade and its wooden window frames. The vegetation is very present in the patio in which there is a forest of birches.
Facade The brick facade functions as a filter to the exterior. This great opaque wall has brick screens where the stairwells are, thus permitting the outside people intuit movement on the interior. There are also screens where common spaces are, making this masive “brick box” to be perceived as an antfarm.

Organization The apartments are organized by modules of two apartments and a common space in between modules. Each one has a “flexible space� to be used in any way the user wants. The apartments only contain essential spaces such as a bedroom and a bathroom. All apartments are oriented to the patio, thus leaving the outer rim of the building entirely to circulation (like a medieval castle).

VISITOR CENTER AND HOTEL SALINAS DE ORO, SPAIN “Offering halotherapy treatments, visits to the salt pools, and accomodation in a rural hotel. It is claimed an understanding towards the physical, cultural and anthropological environment that will support any intervention on the place�.
Concept Topograhpy is treated as an element that creates the building form, separates stays, and creates sensations thanks to changes in elevation throughout the building. It is also the compositive and organizer element of space in two ways: - Different views depending on the level - On his trail along the building generating different spaces with different ways of introducing light.
Landscape
Used as material because of the place’s beauty
Oak
Paritions, referring to the trees of the place
Concrete
Vertical structure and roof made with concrete
Water
Used to fill the roof making reference to the salt pools
Materiality The election of the materials is based according to the principle “tradition as principle for development”. For that there are used materials that appeal to the site’s essence and it joins the new constructive design techniques.
Section
Water roofs “floating� over a glass facade achieving uninterrupted views and creating a relationship with the site.
The access is made by car or bus throughout a paved road that passes behind the building and descends in elevation.
The building accompanies the mountain slope by reducing its height as it moves away from it. Axonometry

LEISURE CENTER FOR SENIORS ALICANTE, SPAIN “A dense complex destined to leisure for seniors in the spanish coast. It will be of interest to propose alternative ways tu put together an intensive and autosuficient program intended entirely to senior leisure�. [Group work]

Concept The tower consists in four prisms hanging from the top and in between each one there are open spaces that serves the upper and lower volumes. Each prism is conceived like a “jenga� in which some modules are removed thus creating terraces on each floor. The facade consists on a motorized shading system allowing dynamism to it.

ROOFTOP EXTENSION PAMPLONA, SPAIN “it will be projected a rooftop extension over a non-catalogued building. the extension is focused on creating ten new apartments and a public living room for the residents to use. Pamplona’s urban regulations only allows to build a plant and an attic”.
Elevation
Concept To continue the form of the preexisting building with modern construction techniques such as a slight wood framing structure and bronze coated facade. This new dwelling extension is organized by the preexisting communication cores and ruled by the urban normatives. This can be assembled in a workshop and just put it over the preexisting building.

BURGOS MUSEUM EXPANSION BURGOS, SPAIN “It is intended to create an extension that allows to incorporate new exhibition funds, host temporal exhibitions and increase its pedagogical offer. The buildng must resolve a complex urban space and face the dialogue between architectures separated over five centuries”.
Volume expositive spaces

library
The proyect is divided in two big volumes, the access and the expositive one. First one is aligned between Melgosa house and Calatrava cinemas, while the other embrace the patio and connects the new expositive volume with the preexisting Miranda and Angulo houses. A third volume is buried to house the museum archive.
archive
Concept The proposal responds to both a personal interpretation of the existing traditional architecture, as to the project’s physical and functional conditions. A first “u” shaped volume is aligned with the access street and works as a filter for the museum. The main exposition volume separates from the previous one to create an irregular patio which is the real heart of this art center.

Spatial fluency The museum is in constant flow, changing its expostive spaces to accomodate contemporary art. The fluency is achieved with an open space and abundant light.
