About me WHY ARCHITECTURE?
The environment that we are surrounded by has an undeniable impact on how our subconscious influences our conscious state, and I believe that, among others, architects are able to directly influence this. We have an obligation to be a source of creation that provides experiential dignity to society through not only aesthetic but interaction. In honouring the people we serve we have the power to physically manifest spaces, structure and sculpture, and as a result fulfill different lifestyles and influence new ones.
My strengths lie in this optimism and adaptability. I value being creative and willing to explore different perspectives and cultures. Having had the opportunity to live in different countries I have become interested in the vernaculars that have developed naturally and learning to bring them into the future, how to respect the human connection to space and further it.

THE BRIEF Sited within a challenging portion of an urban fabric, students will be pushed to develop a project anchored around the modules, logistics, concepts, etc., inherent to the contemporary framework of collective housing. The end goal being: a project anchored around mixeduse collective housing that reacts to, builds upon, reformulates, etc., the urban tissue in which it is situated. The overall program will be approximately 5000 square meters in size, and will be set in a given site within a complex urban setting. For this studio, projects must be developed at three scales: Scale A - the housing unit and its aggregation. At this scale the project can address issues such as: spatial poetics, private and communal space, and climatic and environmental strategies. Scale B - the building cluster. At this scale, the project can address issues such as: collisions of uses, the interaction with the urban context, and the design of the public domain. Scale C - the masterplan. At this scale, the project can address issues such as: Interaction with the urban context and the broader urban fabric/dynamic, collisions of uses, infrastructural connectivity, and socioeconomics.

THE BRIEF In 2018, an average of 160 people per day have MIGRATED to Spain through the Mediterranean sea, reaching a total of 57.250 people according to the International Organization for Migrations (IOM- UN). This number has sensibly increased from previous years since other countries like Italy and Turkey have closed their borders, positioning Spain as the main destination for migrants. Although Spain had been working since the beginning of the century in producing policies to regulate the immigration processes of this particular population, and in the organization of institutional structures (governmental or non-governmental as NGOs) to respond to this phenomenon, the permanent flow of immigrants, challenges cities on how to respond, comprehensively, to the situation. Many immigrants are being held in jails and placed in the outskirts of cities, stopping effective integration. This project will explore how architecture can influence this integration and provide a positive solution to not only the MENA but the societies they are entering. The existing always offers a certain resistance made of its own, established rules that imprint what at first might seem an imposed and almost unavoidable condition. We will take that resistance as an opportunity for radical transformation to re-write the rules of the existing through an architectural intervention. This project will explore two aspects of the existing: first, the exploration of an urban condition charged with a particular social, formal and functional conception, and second the exploration of a program that requires an understanding of the new and pressing conditions that drives urban, cultural and social relationships.

CALDERON
Stadium
ANNA ALVEMALM
CALDERON stadium in Madrid was to be programatically reinvented by changing the sport it facilitates. I took it from soccer to scuba diving in an attempt to see the large variety of repurposing a struture can go through; a topic which is especially relevant now in terms of the sustainability and permanence of what we build.
-024
ANNA ALVEMALM
-025
THE BRIEF The CALDERON footbal stadium will soon be made obsolete given the construction of a new stadium. This project will aim to repurpose it by adapting it to a new sport. The project will focus on the development and understanding of general organizations and different units of use. The aim is to deconstruct the constituent elements of architecture from the approach of program (deconstruction can also be done from other categories - construction systems, materiality...). It should deeply analyze and understand the relationships between actions, dimensions and placement of architectural matter. From the knowledge gained from this research, it will reinterpret the way in which the field of architectural spaces may transform, maintaining the characteristics that allow uses to occur within them. Physcial manipulation of the original Calderon football stadium is permitted, but only where necessary as this project aims to be a re-use of the existing structure.

THE BRIEF RIO DE JANEIRO is in need of a museum to celebrate local culture and showcase pieces from their carnival festivals. The site is at the south end of Copacabana beach between the Club Marimbas and the Military Museum. The museum should connect the variety of surrounding elements and serve as a landmark. The local culture must be taken into consideration as the cultural program of the building must reflect the local society on an urban level. The design process should look deeply into reating not rigid forms but something that is adaptable, maleable and conformable. There must be a main hall, cafeteria, museum shop, restrooms, a big and small exhibition area and a museum office; and the exterior must present a new public space to serve as a connection between the museum and site as well as the surrounding programs.

TALLULAH
Pavillion
ANNA ALVEMALM
TALLULAH, meaning jumping water, is a project designed for Lavapies in Madrid. It’s a demountable structure that is assembled for the month of May each year. The concept behind the design comes from the name Lavapies, meaning to wash ones feet, and so this pavillion is a slope down which water runs with platforms divided by slender poles for people to sit on.

THE BRIEF The area of LAVAPIES in Madrid has an opportunity for a demountable pavillion to populate a plaza. The aim will be to angage the community in a shared space using this pavillion, and creating an activity that otherwise is not possible. The given month is May, and so the pavillion must take climatic conditions into account as well as more relateable activities given the demopraphim of the local population. The maximum footprint is 100m² but not other restrictions are present. The focus will be in understanding specific situations present in the interaction between people, and how architects can influence these interactions.

LAGOM
House
ANNA ALVEMALM
LAGOM is Swedish for something adequate, something that is just the right amount. This weekend house aims to represent the word’s meaning. While paying attention to the client’s lifestyle, I aimed to create a space that would draw on the outside, instead of being contained within itself. It subtly creates a disinterest in enclosure.

ANNA ALVEMALM

THE BRIEF Josef and Anni ALBERS, of Bauhaus, are granted a special loan to build a One Room House. The house is meant to be a place for weekend retreat, work and collection for the two artists. As well, this space should allow for special visits with their old European Bauhaus friends as well as ther faculty members and students who will be regularly invited to join them at their new home, where they would look at their own works of art and the collection of objects found in their travels through Latin America. All these items will be stored in an archive of walls, shelves, drawers and showcases. The house includes a dark room for developing Josef’s photographs and a bright workspace for Anni’s creations. A huge table was designed the year before with their students and they both like using it in the house to collectively gather around, to examine their collections, to organize their trips and even to enjoy night long dinners with the more than usual guests. Apart from their own bedroom, there is a small guestroom for the special visits of other Bauhaus friends. The house is open—both to the outdoors and internally to all daily activities. At the same it has intimate space, it can also hold 100 people for Josef’s annual birthday party on March 19.
