A GREEN NODE
Pasaia is a town that was born and developed along with the port. It is composed of four districts: San Juan / Donibane, San Pedro, Antxo y Trintxerpe. Despite its main economic activity has been related to the port, but currently, it is not as intense as before. San Juan, situated at the eastern side of the bay. The projected area is right at the entrance to the village, a small artificial harbor. It has a complex meeting between sea, city, and nature.

Infrastructures as Obstacles
The reflection is not limited just in the projected area, but also it is in contact. Its ecosystem includes more than an area. The nature relationship, its cycle, socioeconomic situation is studied for a new intervention, through different scales. The built environment is placed more than a city limit. It needs infrastructures that supply the function as a city, but they are into the other habitats. Although this construction benefits us but is also an obstacle.

The plot was occupied by a thermal power station, which is demolished. It is surrounded by vehicle roads, always in activity. In a hill, there is an unused water tank, and below the platform, there is the ending of a stream. In spite of the complexity. It is an abandoned place. The proposal is a green node, follows the idea that benefits the ecosystem. Taking advantage of geography, reconducting water to be treated by sewage treatment plants. The unused building is rehabilitated, and to connect the different level through a vertical communication as a new viewpoint. The terrain is modified in order to profit the site. The excavated soil is used for the new land.

MEDIATHEQUE_ PORTUGALETE The market building of Portugalete, is an already built building. Its style of architecture and the form of occupation constitute the memory of the place, like an identity. The project will not start from zero but will try to preserve these characteristics and interpret them in a similar way. In the intervention project, existing properties will coexist with the modern language. The facades are conserved, but the interior is reconstructed to adapt to the new use and the lighting of the ceiling will be enhanced. The sculptural painting of the portico is relocated as a memorial element. The project will emphasize concepts; Directionality - relationship with the outside Due to the irregularity of the plot, the building is designed symmetrically, lacking a main directionality. The entrances are by the side, in order to give access to the two streets. As proposal there is a volume added in the interior. With a turned rectangle, which will direct the views, giving importance to the main entrance, with a wide hall that allows satisfying the temporary activities, the transition of interior and exterior is more continuous. The granting of surfaces creates an open space that allows us to make more views of the landscape and to get the architecture in dialogue with the environment. Continuity - transparency Transparency is sought from inside and not by the facade. Transparency is achieved by continuity. The vertical and transversal connection is emphasized. Thinking about the place, a linear staircase along the faรงade descends to the ground as a new communication. The transversal transparency is achieved through the form of distribution and materiality. Creating a set of greater dynamism with open spaces giving the possibility of establishing limits through flexible and temporary elements. Spatial vitality - fluency The versatility of the space and the interest of the route are sought, breaking the scheme of the line, in search of more changing spaces, playing with open and closed spaces. These rooms invite the participation of users to achieve a temporary logical distribution. The spaces are sized to supply multiple recreational activities. Interior landscape - unit The unit is the basis for composing the interior landscape. the sum of the same elements to form a greater unit, this is the scheme of the tongue-and-groove joint technique. Apart from the ceiling, this system is used to create a rhythmic limit between the empty spaces. The division emphasizes the relationship between the new and the existing, the composition is not flat, it changes every day, shadows will play to get a new composition, as a superposition of images.

NODE DWELLING_CO-HOUSING SENIOR LIFE
In 2030, the proposal of PDU, the act of burying a great way allows creating new opportunities. In the city approach, it creates a green corridor, as a path with a dominant presence of vegetation and priority use of pedestrians and bicycles, which crosses the urban fabric. And as for Bellvitge, it can mean a regenerative change. The new liberated spaces have the potential to urbanize, getting new uses and create new links. The liberation by the roads allows the continuity of the pedestrian to cross Gran vĂa and create bigger surfaces to build. In this way, regenerate the vanished continuity that existed in old times. In addition, in the PDU proposal favors the installation of bike lanes, so its link to the green round of Dalt and the richness of the route allows new alternative junctions and enhance the connection to the river park. The adapted strategy takes advantage of the opportunities and strengths of the place. It consists of the introduction of the agricultural park of the river Llobregat towards the city. This link as a horizontal green axes (green infrastructure), which crosses the three bags, in the form of a park or walks. Throughout its journey it joins the spaces endowed with specific programs (currently free of uses), to enhance the attractive force of these axes. The space released by the PDU allows creating a linear park parallel to the Gran Via. The meeting of the two parks, the linear - the Bellvitge local park creates a node of flows, also has this space provides the role of guiding the continuity of the pedestrian crossing of the Gran Via, the marine Ramble.

The proposal is a building with the architectural form that organizes and guides the movement flows. The program of use for this new space responds to the current need and desire for the creation of new corners in the neighborhood. It proposes the construction of the houses to third age, and the flexible housings of a short stay for young users, developed under the idea of Co-Housing. ​​ It is the example that is currently demanded. It is a type of housing suitable for the elderly, live collectively and collaboratively. It is composed of private, personalized domestic space. And a series of common and public spaces. The services are managed collectively and participatively. With users of similar ages, who do not live with their children and share common interests. It focuses on the bio-psycho-social aspects of the users, with special interest towards common spaces created for socialization and exchange among residents. Fundamentally it focuses on aspects: Living together, qualities of use, urban context and coexistence, and organization.
