2023: Master’s ﬁnal project

01. EDÉNEDAR:

TAGS: rehabilitation, change of use, infrastructure | Chernobyl | 100000 m2

It is proposed to act on the Dugar radar, and on the residential complex where it is installed. It was decided to act on the entire west façade, to create a new building structurally hybridised with it, which would house a series of programmes required by the context in which it is installed. A centre for research and conservation of this ecosystem is proposed through the construction of an Eden or archive space for these animal species and their habitats, centred mainly on dispersion agents such as birds and their habitats.

In addition, the project seeks to integrate a productive programme, such as a wastewater treatment plant, which also seeks to include this type of infrastructure, responsible for the production of water, as well as the production of energy generated by this process.

Master’s ﬁnal project

02. COMPANY TOWN: LOGISTICS CENTER + HOUSING FOR RIDERS

TAGS: infrastructure, transportation, housing | Moscow| 50000 m2

2021: M 02 C TAGS: TAGS

Starting from the premise that the city is also the logistical mechanisms that supply and feed it, the delivery system of the Russian Amazon, Ozon, and the market trend of e-commerce platforms in this area are analysed. Based on this, a solution to the precarious working conditions of bicycle delivery workers and the centralised accumulation of products is proposed as a solution, the union of a factory, the logistics centre and housing for the riders, in such a way that those who were previously scattered throughout the city’s public space can now be united in T5, where they can have leisure and productivity spaces for the long waiting times. In addition, the fact of living together can allow them to unite and organise themselves within the same company premises.

* Team: Carmen Alvaredo Gómez + Cristina García-Griñán Fernández-Jardón.

03. SOCIAL REINSERTION CENTRE FOR TOURISTS

TAGS: social, culture, education, hotel | Madrid | 8000 m2

A group of experts develop a strategy that allows them to identify 13 architectural typologies throughout the history of Madrid that have served as a support for a programme that has generated cultural products: songs, dances, paintings, clothes, books .... that have managed to define the collective identity, now lacking in Madrid.

In this project, the tourist now takes on a role no longer as a performer, but as a creator and producer, together with the resident, of new cultural products that give the city an identity.

2020: Construction´s ﬁnal project

04. GREENHOUSE COLLECTIVE HOUSING: EL BUEN INVERNADERO

TAGS: housing, prefabricate, greenhouse | Madrid | 12000 m2

The Greenhouse Housing at hand is a collective housing building, primarily composed of prefabricated reinforced concrete elements. Its distinguishing feature is a substantial corridor encircling the building’s perimeter, forming a communal ring that fosters interaction among its residents. This innovative design not only enhances the structural integrity and construction efficiency of the building but also serves as a central hub for the inhabitants. The continuous corridor promotes a sense of community, facilitating chance encounters and social connections. Moreover, the use of prefabricated concrete elements ensures a streamlined construction process, optimizing both time and resources.

2018: Project 4

05. THE

BIG COVER: VINCULOS EFECTIVOS

TAGS: tensile, membrane structures, cover | Medellín | 18000 m2

This project involves a large, flexible cover system designed to function as a canopy. It’s constructed using circular mechanisms interconnected with a textile net, offering adaptability for various uses. This canopy can effectively cover open public spaces, sports arenas, or outdoor event venues. It’s primarily made from textile and steel cables, ensuring both strength and practicality. This architectural creation excels in its versatility, enhancing the utility of these spaces while showcasing innovative design. It´s assembled using a sophisticated combination of circular mechanisms seamlessly interconnected through a textile net.

2018: Bachelor’s degree ﬁnal project

06. THE CURTAIN, ADAPTABLE ARCHITECTURE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS TAGS: research

In the popular collective imagination, the curtain is not considered an element of architecture in the same way as the staircase, the door or the walls, nor is it even for a more specialised group such as architecture. This was demonstrated in Elements of architecture, an exhibition and subsequent publication directed by Rem Koolhaas (1944, OMA-AMO) for the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale in 2014. This comprehensive catalogue chooses and exhaustively analyses the 15 elements that are considered to make up all the buildings on the planet. In each volume, dedicated exclusively to each element, their origins, typologies, details... Unfortunately, the curtain did not have its own exclusive volume, but was relegated to form part of the sixth volume corresponding to the window element, occupying only a couple of pages in it.
