// COMETEES, ADVISING AND MENTORING // · Participation in “Inclusion and Equity Studio Pedagogy and Studio Culture Committee and the SARC Inclusion and Equity Committee.” This Committee were tasked to examinate the studio pedagogy, design topics and the impact they have in a larger societal context. Not only the question of what are we designing, but also for whom? should be an essential driver of studio pedagogy. This is particularly important in studio settings where the notion of the hypothetical project has enabled the curriculum to evade questions of social justice and racial equity.

3 SCALES The 125,000 km project will be approached from three different scales depending on the type of intervention. 1_ It will begin with an analysis of the theme at TERRITORIAL SCALE(km), 2_going through a case-study on an INTERMEDIATE SCALE (m) 3_ending with a detailed development at a CLOSE SCALE(mm) of three types of ruin reproducible and adaptable to the whole National territory.

1 TERRITORIAL SCALE (KM) A study of the national network of livestock trails is made from a long field study in which the specific documentation for the project is collected. In this trip they are detected above all, big discontinuities in the infrastructures as well as many degraded places that will become places of opportunity.

(social survey of habits and necessities).

I was selected to participate in an international workshop on traditional Indian architecture by the great architect Yatin Pandia in Ahmedabad, India. The workshop was developed in two phases: a first of field study of the place to intervene (to assimilate the culture and idiosyncrasy of the neighborhood of Jethabai Ni Pol). A second phase in which we learn to adapt our European knowledge to the local reality.

Based on these conclusions, we divided our intervention in two basic fields: urban and architectural. The urban strategy was mainly focused on the lack of proper public space. It consisted of 4 points: creation of new gathering plazas, interaction between vertical levels, rooftops net proposal and new underground parking areas.

Our first approach to Jethabai Ni Pol aimed to discover its intrinsic character, studying both the way of life in the neighborhood and the architectural and urban environment. With this purpose we developed an exhaustive analysis based on the form factor (housing typologies and their mechanisms) and the time factor

On the architectural side we proposed 3 types of interventions: civic centres integrated in the two existing half-built concrete buildings, reuse of empty spaces in traditional houses (aiming to attract young people) and rehabilitation of new typologies with public spaces for the neighborhood.

Proposal for The Aarhus Universuty place: Aahrus, Denmark year: 2016 category: competition status: shortished authors: Belén González Aranguren, Ana Herreros & Pablo Cangas

overwhelming. 230 entries from across the world. We are very grateful and will like to thank all the entrants for all the hard work they have put into the project.

This open design competition was the first exciting step towards a new school of Architecture in Aarhus the first time ever a new school of architecture is going to be built in Denmark.

AAA is one of two national schools of architecture in Denmark. The school currently has a student population of approximately 750 and a staff of 140. All students are provided with individual work spaces at the school; these are available and used 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

After many years in outdated facilities, the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and Aarhus School of Architecture have agreed on obtaining a new building for the school. To manage and develop the project, Aarhus School of Architecture has chosen the Danish Building & Property Agency. The competition was moreover launched with the assistance of the Danish Architects’ Association and with funding from Realdania.

The aim of AAA is to carry out research and artistic development work at the highest level with the purpose of continually qualifying the education, architectural practice, and the public’s understanding of architecture. The school has chosen an artistic approach to the discipline and an approach that engages with society. This requires students and staff to re-think, experiment, provoke and question norms and dogmas that are normally taken for granted.

The aim of the open design competition was to re-think the programming of a modern school of architecture and achieve the best, most visionary ideas. Aarhus School of Architecture and the Danish Building & Property Agency were therefore delighted to invite all architects and architecture students to present their ideas for the new school. They hoped for the engagement and participation of the entire profession and the result was

Reverde con causa

Remodeling of Plaza de España in Madrid place: Plaza de España, Madrid, Spain year: 2016 category: competition status: finalist authors: Belén González Aranguren, Ana Herreros, Ander Ibarra & Manuel M. de las Heras

Proposal for urban intervention in the Plaza de España in Madrid. Public contest of great media diffusion, very important for the citizens of Madrid.

We applaud the success of writing the bases of the contest according to the public opinion. Our intention is that citizens continue to be integrated into the decision-making process of remodeling, feel involved and committed to it and, therefore, value, respect and take care of the resulting public space.

It is a long-term project that is based on changing the mobility of the citizen. The pedestrianization of urban centres is a fact and this project intends to carry it out in the city of Madrid. This long process would begin with the Plaza de España of Madrid as the start of the process.

Given the conceptualization of the proposal, which proposes the creation of a large continuous meadow on which the different scenes-uses are based, two clear phases can be distinguished in the execution of the project. While the works of restructuring of the surroundings begin, and without this supposing any delay in the process, a parallel process is opened in which the citizen scenes are subjected to citizen survey -generating activities- that are going to take place in the square, and depending on the results, we will proceed to the inclusion of new uses, and to the dimensioning of the activities already proposed.

The main objective of this proposal is the realization of a subtle but effective intervention with low budget as the bases of the contest required. It is a superposition of 5 layers or substrates that give a new spatial and functional quality to the square. 1_ THE TOPOGRAPHY 2_ NEW INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUSTAINABILITY 3_ THE MEADOW 4_ THE PAVING 5_ THE VEGETATION

Due to the climatic differences of the city of Madrid throughout the year and the generation of microclimates fostered by the new proposed vegetation, lighting and water treatment, 12 atmospheres are created that in some cases recreate places that our head relates to relaxation and free time, and in other cases provides citizens with a great cultural and entertainment offer.

Citizenship is the heart of the city, and the way to make a lasting and profound change in the city is through its citizens. We believe that the priority is to raise awareness among the public of a new model of urban mobility, of a reasonable and sustainable use of resources and of the care of public space by the users themselves.

De boca en boca

Rethinking Competition. A new music catalytic in Lanzarote place: Lanzarote, Las Canarias, Spain year: 2017 category: competition status: finalist authors: Belén González Aranguren, Ander Ibarra & Manuel M. de las Heras

The central space is maintained providing a double height to offer a large wealth of perspectives and cross relationships. A red theatrical curtain separates the performance of the audience that is expectant, in a dark place, that acquires life at the beginning of the performance filling with light and reflections from the large translucent polycarbonate box, “THE SOCO”. This space will be surrounded by a garden around its perimeter, “LA CACTUSERA”, a garden in height that blends with the surrounding landscape Due to the proposed soil finish, Lanzarote’s own black volcanic soil. He ground gets into the building on the top floor blurring the boundaries between the inside and the outside.

The BOCA EN BOCA project, which translates to ‘Word of mouth”, is born from the urge togenerate a new place of reference for music in Lanzarote. The project consists in the rehabilitation of an old water deposit to turn it into a music center that puts in value the new musical talents of the island. This “FOCUS or NODE” generates the main spatial relationships of the project. This occurs from a few accesses attracted to it, as if a magnet will try, causing a circulations around him that give dynamism to all the draft. These accesses are made up of semi-buried stands in the perimeter of the container drawer, as improvised stages, that they will give rise to different musical scenes according to their dimensions. The capacity and location of these determine the degree of privacy of the spaces to which they give access.

Likewise, the double lateral height is preserved by proposing a pavilion composed of a multipurpose theater and dance rehearsal room, “LA VITRINA”, on the ground floor, and some private music rooms, “BUNKER ROOMS”, on the first floor. Access to this pavilion will be totally independent to the great public space through some stone bleachers volcanic, “LAS BOQUILLAS”. Likewise, a large space is proposed, “LA TARIMA”, for the realization of concerts and exterior performances.

The project is based on the idea of maintaining and reusing the preexistence as much as possible, with marked tectonic character. The roof structure rises existing, independent, and providing it with a pixilated modular skin that offers different degrees of transparency, creating a game of shadows in inside. With this simple surgery a semi-open space is created that takes advantage of the winds of the island producing a cross ventilation throughout the building.

Naturalezas

landscape intervention in The International Festival of Architecture and design in Logroño place: Logroño, La Rioja, Spain year: 2017 category: competition status: shortished authors: Belén González Aranguren & Daniel Guerra

A new order of reality is constructed. In this new reality, a new perception of architecture is developed in which objects gain a new dimension and become experiences in themselves rather than obstacles in the path.

This project of sculptures on the landscape, conceived as “Natures”, consists of five wooden sculptures that evoke the shape of a leaf, placed along a path. The pieces’ modify their shape and characteristics according to the place where they are placed.

These wooden sculptures are rooted to the earth just like the vineyards that surround them. They move with the wind as if they were a leaf without moving, they have a skin that has the ability to mimic the environment in a chameleonic way.

This action is born from the idea that objects are not inanimate. On the one hand, they are vulnerable to the environment and the passage of time. On the other, when walking, they are experienced as reference objects that dynamize our perception of reality and help us to understand what surrounds us.

The wood is moistened and fluted to maximize the flexibility of the material. It is cut, bored, filled with the soil of the place so that gravity acts with greater or lesser intensity, generating a balance game in which the weight and slenderness of the pieces are the protagonists.

Once the primary demands of the sedentary man have been met, the movement of walking becomes a symbolic action that allows the nomad man to inhabit the world.

These ORGANISMS / NATURES are in different stages of development. It is s the relationship between their proportions and the distances between them that make them behave like a herd or ecosystem and feedback from each other.

By modifying the purpose of walking, the crossed space becomes the first aesthetic action that penetrates the territories of chaos. Imaginary lines that drive the thought forwards Paths no longer simply lead to places, they become places in themselves. In mobility and change, encounters take place. This in turn generates new ways of perceiving landscape and experiencing it.

Sales de bohemia

Design of The Comedias Corral and the Ggeneral impostation of the “Festa Corral Cervantes, Madrid 2018” place: Cuesta de Moyano, Madrid, Spain year: 2018 category: competition status: accesit authors: Belén González Aranguren, Alberto Reques & Diego Penche

The project “Sales of Bohemia” starts with the search for a system that can be reproduced through the Cuesta de Moyano. Salt terraced platforms are created staggeringly along the inclined plane generating coexisting spaces in the form of stations of a winding circuit that adapts to the urban topography, duplicating the initiatory path. It is intended that the city of Madrid becomes the background stage where recreational actions transform the space that is composed of two theatrical scenes, the day and the night.

As in “El Gran Mercado del Mundo”, by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, the daytime scene is composed of a stage full of lights and shadows, hustle, smells, tastes, relationships. However as in “La Vida Es Sueño”, by the same author, the night scene introduces us to a world of sensations, music, tranquility and hypnosis in which we can get infused with culture and, above all, theater. In the words of Pedro Calderón de la Barca: “That all life is dream and dreams, dreams are.”

BSO Stage

BSO STAGE in The Brandery Fair place: Barcelona, Spain year: 2011 category: builded authors: *Quid Studio: Belén González Aranguren, Ana Herreros, Inés García de Paredes, Luis Pachón, Gerardo Martínez, Victoria Gomez, Jorge Blas, Hugo Martínez & Guillermo Gusó

The Quid Studio team, formed and founded by 8 architects in which I am included, was invited to create a pavilion for music concerts for the NGO Mozambique Sur, at The Brandery fashion fair in Barcelona. The objective was to create a space that could be built in one day, prefabricated in Madrid and transported to Barcelona in a single truck.

For all these reasons, we decided to use a single material, a very economical type of rope used in boats to be able to compare it wholesale and reduce the cost. We designed a parametric grashoper model to generate two intersected domes built on ropes hung from a scaffolding structure.

The objective of building this pavilion was to raise money for the NGO, so the budget was very tight and should be spent especially in the hiring of good music groups that would attract many people. therefore, the pavilion should be a unique, striking space that invited people to enter.

The pavilion was prefabricated in Madrid for a month, in which we cut each string length one by one. We design a grating system in which to place the ropes systematically.

This is my first professional experience as an architect and in a foreign country. I learn, above all, to work in teams and with extrés from a university vision. I am fortunate to be part of two very important projects for the office: “Casa Un Patio” and “Dining-Sala Multiple Iron Mountain” I had the opportunity to visit the end of the work of both projects and to begin to be familiar with the whole process of an execution project. The jump of scale between both projects made it possible to collaborate with the office in different processes in works opposed by the scale, the materiality and the type of client.

In this course students explore what it means to “experience” a work of architecture, and they developed ways to make their own architectural experiences more meaningful. They will examine fundamental architectural concepts both through the study of great works of architecture from around the world, and through their personal experiences of buildings, gardens, and urban spaces on the UVA campus. To deepen their understanding of the architectural experience they will adopt certain ideas from the practice of mindfulness, a discipline that teaches us to live more fully in the present moment, and that stresses the value of keen observation, curiosity, patience, self-reflection, and intellectual openness. Throughout the course, they will seek to become more mindful: to immerse themselves in the experience of architecture in sensitive and focused ways that engage not only their minds, but also their imaginations, emotions, as well as our bodies and all our sense perceptions. Each student will keep a sketchbook that includes lecture and reading notes, as well as sketches, diagrams, and collages relevant to the course. Each student will also develop a portfolio of drawings focused on freehand sketching and diagraming, both essential modes of expression and representation in design work. Students will create a design project by constructing hand-made models using basic materials such as corrugated cardboard, chipboard, and glue. We will discover that designing can itself be a mindful activity, one that demands focus, patience, careful observation, as well as the creation of many related studies, or what designers call “iterations.” Through making and critiquing many iterations of their project, students will gain an understanding and first-hand experience of the kind of work that architects do.

Their retreat will be situated along the Rivanna River, on the edge of the city of Charlottesville. It will be one node in a network of outposts along the river, forming a community of foragers connected by a series of existing walking paths. A forager will be collecting, studying, and storing edible items such as fruits, greens, flowers, nuts and fungi. A forager requires visual, auditory and physical access to a site to become knowledgeable of the seasonal cycles and growth patterns of edible flora and fauna. Consider the orientation of your project as it relates to the ground, the sky, the river, and the forest. How does it engage these site conditions? How does it establish connections – physical, visual, and auditory - between interior and exterior spaces? As students consider the relationship of these spaces to one another, revisit the formal, spatial, sequential and tectonic orders analyzed in Exercise 01. How do these spatial strategies translate to your site? How can they inform the relationships between interior and exterior spaces? Consider how the architect of your case study project made design decisions. How did he or she relate the project to it’s physical and historical context? What factors informed the orientation of the project and its relationship to the surrounding environment? How did he or she choose materials? Were there other aspects of their process that informed their design development? If so, how might this affect your design proposal and/or site strategy?

PHASE 2 // URBAN ADDITIONS For the final exercise, students are to design a Culinary Institute for Forageable Foods along the Downtown Mall in the city of Charlottesville – an urban center for the collection, preparation and dissemination of local, forageable foods. The spaces and activities of their rural retreat will shift in scale and scope to accommodate not only the individual, but also the collective, adjusting and responding to the constraints and opportunities of an urban infill site. They will each be given one of sixteen potential sites on the Pedestrian Mall in Downtown Charlottesville. Their design proposals should develop and transform as you acquire more detailed information about the site and surroundings. Translate the spatial orders and logic of your rural retreat to their new site, taking into consideration the urban, architectural, social and environmental conditions of the place - past and present. Reflect on the relationship between this urban center and its rural edge. How does your proposal reflect your understanding of this relationship? Consider the presence of your building at the street, the sky and all that is in between. How does it respond to existing site conditions? How does it connect to and amend existing urban networks, patterns and flows? How does it enrich and extend existing public space? In what way does your project engage with and/or depart from the architectural fabric of the Downtown Mall? Where do you allow for physical, visual or auditory access between interior and exterior spaces? What views does it preference or frame? Your design must respond to the city and environment in a way that assures not only its seamless integration, but also its role as a catalyst for the urban system. Students Culinary Institute in the city should include the following spaces, distributed vertically throughout the building. Together, the total square footage of their project should be no less than 5,000 SF and no more than 10,000 SF in area. Students should consider how these spaces are related to one another. Can functions coexist within a space or do they need to remain separate? Do they accommodate one person or multiple? Are they indoor or outdoor? Public or private?

STUDENT SAMPLE Cecilia Yiyue PHASE 1 // RURAL ASSEMBLIE PHASE 1 // RURAL ASSEMBLIE Rural Boundry The concept of my project is from the boudary between the water and the soil. The quality of the water and the soil are different: one is dynamic and another is static. With the help of this boundary and the nature quality, I used the method of substraction on the land and the method of adding on the water part to create different space for different functions. However, soil and water are also connected very closely: the soil provides the space for water to flow and the water infiltrate the soil years after years. Then, this boudary starts to become a little bit ambiguous, where I start to infiltrate two parts of the precedents and create a two-level space with a courtyard in between. With the help of corridor and the courtyard, he light from the upper level of the precedent then fill into the underground part through the courtyard. The floor of the upper-level room is served as the roof of the underground rooms and is also extended to guide the entrance of the space above. The wineberry fruits are planted between each two underground space and is below the corridor. They can be stored easily underground. The materials I chose are concrete and polycabonate, which gave the precendent the duality of solid and fluidity and echos with the quality of soil and water.

PHASE 2 // URBAN ADDITION PHASE 2 // RURAL ASSEMBLIE Urban Boundry Having no more than 5 stories, most of the buildings in the downtown of Charlottesville have low heights. The roof tops are pretty flat without much hierarchy. The site for this project is the space around the only tall hotel which was not finished and was disgard. My concept was from the skyline and the hotel which built for the wealthy people. I want to break the “skyline” of Charlottesville and built a activity space and a market which can be accessed by all the people. Using twelve bands as the design logic, I used the method of subtraction to create the skyline shape. The section conditions along each band are also very rich, which embody the concept “skyline” again. The space below is more united, while the space above is more fragment. I took advantage of such difference and the duality of concrete and wood to optimize the function of the building. The space above is made of wood and served as the market, which is contemporary and movable. The space below is made of concrete, which serve as the gathering, resting and education place for people.

ARCH 3020. “The New Collective Commons. The Student Center as Civic Anchor at UVA” Assistant Professor. Undergrad Core Studio. University: University of Virginia (UVA). Time: Spring 2021 Position: Instructor in Studio Teaching Team:Jeana Riple & Belen Gonzalez Aranguren Embedded within the model of the academic campus is the idea of a larger urban project—one in which architecture plays a central role in defining and spatially inscribing the collective goals and aspirations of the diverse communities that comprise the university. The expansion of higher education within the last two hundred years has positioned the academy as a unique laboratory for architectural experimentation. From the conception of the academical village here at UVA, to Mies van der Rohe’s modernist master plan for the Illinois Institute of Technology, to the recent transformation of Roosevelt Island into Cornell’s technology hub in New York City, the model of the North American academic campus has often served as an architectural and urbanistic testing ground, in an ever-evolving attempt to address the changing needs and values of the communities it serves and maintains. Today, as the landscape of higher education evolves at unprecedented speed in response to the changes in technology, while also attempting to address the social and economic pressures of the day, this studio asks how architecture is positioned to rethink the spatial possibilities of academic and social life of the contemporary campus. Specifically, the studio will focus on the design of a public space for the academic and social engagement of students in residence at the University of Virginia. Throughout the course of the semester, the ARCH 3020 will addresses a range of technical, cultural, and aesthetic questions meant to combine and focus and integrate the skills from previous studios, building students’ capacity for complex architectural design. Developing a position relative to the integration of the urban context, landscape and ecological systems, and programmatic activation through the negotiation of space, circulation, and structure will be a central focus of the studio. In doing so, students will address not only the technical and organizational considerations of design, but also how the architectural project communicates ideas, values, and meaning through specific material, aesthetic, and spatial configurations.

ARCH 8020. “Learning from Piura. Building Resilience in the Era of Climate Change” Assistant Professor. Advanced Research Studio. University: University of Virginia (UVA). Time: Spring 2021 Position: Co-teaching Teaching Team:Sandra Barclay & Jean PIere Crusse & Belen Gonzalez Aranguren What can the building culture in developing countries teach us about resilience in the era of climate change? Culture and climate are intimately linked together. Understanding how past human cultures have responded to changes in climate may give us important lessons as accelerating global climate change becomes our reality. Should architecture try to engage with global warming by relying on sophisticated technologies that reduce emissions, or should it turn its gaze to affordable strategies that mitigate its impact and make populations more resilient to its lingering consequences? The Northern coast of Peru has been experiencing the effects of climate change for 5000 years. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has created severe climatic and cultural disturbances in Peru and widely scattered areas all over the world, affecting the civilizations that flourished there, causing both involuntary and organized migrations over centuries, and spurring different responses in territorial management and the construction of cultural artifacts, according to the Foundation for Exploration and Research on Cultural Origins (FERCO). Piura, a booming region in the North of Peru, has the potential to be a laboratory for responses to climate change. The resilience of its low-income rural population to recurrent ENSO phenomena can inform how traditional low-tech construction can be reinterpreted today to face global warming. Can contemporary architecture transform these traditions, building upon the wisdom embodied in time-tested techniques and refining them for wide-spread application? Can contemporary architects, so often called on to be technical specifiers, still be inventive and generous and support healthy communities in the face of urgent conditions? The studio will try to answer those questions from a design point of view. It proposes an overview of how different cultures of the Northern Peruvian coast endured climate change over time and will analyze how present inhabitants of Piura cope with extreme climate events in order to imagine a different approach to technology and the act of building. The studio will then focus on the design of an Innovation Center for Resilient Building Knowledge in Narihualá (Piura), a village heavily affected by rain and flooding during the 2017 ENSO. The Center will host research that is lab and crop based. It will also sponsor educational initiatives to spread new hybrids of traditional and contemporary building techniques that improve resilience in Peru and elsewhere. Finally, the facility will serve the local community as a resource and a refuge during future extreme climate events. The projects will not pretend to find solutions to global warming. They aim to raise compelling questions and spur imaginative responses to living and building along with climate change.
