The Chicago River Center Chicago, United States Type: Mixed Use - Public + Private Facility Area: Lot: 34,500sqft - Bldg: 127,000sqft Year: Master Thesis, 2013 Polytechnic University of Barcelona. The city of Chicago wills to regenerate the river area that has been known until now for its industrial polluted character, reconverting it into a cultural and tourist focal point. The goal of the Chicago River Center project is to be a key point of this new urban plan and answer its needs, therefore the program has two differentiated parts: PROJECTS
- The Research Center with laboratories to control the water pollution levels and offices for the management of the river. - The Visitor Center with a history museum, an auditorium and a bar/restaurant overlooking the river. The main strategies that have been followed to develop the design of the project are: 1. To create an entrance door and a connecting passageway between the city and the future river park. 2. To organize the program in a way that naturally absorbs the different height levels of the site.
3. To establish a constant architectural dialogue with the river. 4. To symmetrically organize the floor plan of the two buildings, creating a common entrance square in a way that the programs breathe through the public space generated in between. With their shape and texture these buildings could remind us of the transport containers, or with their roof with skylights they could also remind us of the factories that where once located on the river area, paying tribute in this way to what was the origin of the river and the whole city.

Dance Center Chicago, United States Type: Cultural Facility Area: Lot: 11,800sqft - Bldg: 31,000sqft Year: 5th year project, Illinois Institute of Technology. The ambition of improving its context is what moved the design of this building from the beginning. Printer’s row is a monotone residential area in the South loop that’s been quite forgotten in the past years, but now after a series of use changes is gradually gaining more fame among chicagoans. The objective of this project is to give the PROJECTS
final push to revitalize and attract retail and activity to the area for its economic development.
1. Ballet: the sublime floating dance is situated on top, in direct relation with the air and the sky. .
Given the lack of public space in the neighborhood the strategy of the design is to create a park that gradually curves to enclose the program underneath, generating a complex continuous green space for the amusement of citizens, and with its contemporary form and aesthetics becoming a new urban icon for the city of Chicago. This organic shape is also the perfect embodiment for the atmosphere of each Dance style practiced in the center:
2. Flamenco: the popular and participatory dance is situated on the street level together with the bar. .
3. Modern: the freedom and improvisatory dance is situated in realtion to the public space, being able to move and conquer it as needed. .
4. Tribal: ancestor’s and nature conversational dance is situated underground in an intimate space in deep relation with the earth and the sun. See full project at: www.claracampocid.com

Hostel + Community Center Queretaro, Mexico Type: Mixed Use - Public Facility Area: Lot: 146,000sqft - Bldg: 50,500sqft Year: 5th year project, Illinois Institute of Technology. Two objectives moved the design from the begining. The first one was to give this interior dead space back to the city and the people of Queretaro, and the second, to offer a local experience to the international travelers staying at the hostel. The dense Queretaro downtown was asking for a green public space, to breathe PROJECTS
and to provide amusement to citizens. A new pole of atraction to tensionate the neighborhood and create a flow of people to this inconspicuous area, generating consequently an enriching interaction between locals and visitors. The project achieves this goal creating an interactive park on ground level and situating the program underneath with a wide central plaza linking them both. Furthermore, the design wants to take into account the heritage of the city of Queretaro with the two differentiated urban grids represented on the two different levels of the project:
1. The Colonial orthogonal grid: used in the interior building circulation. 2. The Historic organic grid: used on the outdoor park circulation. The project also recuperates the vernacular architecture construction methods of the area. Which combined with passive energy conservation measures applied create a very comfortable and sustainable building.

Soccer Center Barcelona, Spain. Type: Sport Facility Area: Lot: 71,000sqft - Bldg: 4,300sqft Year: 4th year project, 2010 Polytechnic University of Barcelona. This project came as something inevitable, inherent to the site. The design collects and concentrates the history, materiality and energy of the location. Situated in an old quarry on the perimeter of a little hill of barcelona the design offers; with the exterior, a smooth transition between city and nature; and with PROJECTS
the interior, the poetic expression of the place. Given the geological formation of the rock folds, the spaces are generated by a continuous wall that bends in order to enclose the program. The entrance to each locker is highlighted by both, a space decompresion and a zenital light rythm.

PROJECTS
New neighborhood Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam. Type: Neighborhood urban plan Area: 5,100,000 sqft Year: 3th year urban project, Polytechnic University of Barcelona. This urban plan is part of a project that aims to restore impoverished areas of Amsterdam. The first intention of the design was giving back the human scale to the area, ensuring an interaction with the sorroundings and to the infrastructures. The organization is generated by two main avenues with two different perURBAN PLANNING
sonalities; the horizontal with a business character and the diagonal one with a park-recreational character. Then, in the divided space, a modular non-isotropic grid is created to host the housing. Again the personality of both directions will be differentiated, the vertical ones will have a more lively atmosphere with activity and retail, and the horizontal ones will be more quiet. The grid will have a series of high buildings that will mark the entrances to the neighborhood and will break the monotony of the perspective by creating a rythym. Each block has mixed types of residential buildings to guarantee the
richness of variety and diversity in human relationships. offering a central courtyard to meet or relax. v

Territorial Center AP-2 Highway, Barcelona. Type: New urban hub Area: 7,400,000 sqft Team: Clara Campo-Cid, Arantxa Perellón Year: 3th year urban project, Polytechnic University of Barcelona. The objective of this urban plan is to revitalize a very dilapidated and negleted area located between three little cities, which lean on one of Barcelona’s entrance highways. With the election of a complex and ambitious program: a health and research URBAN PLANNING
center, the design aims to respond to the different scales of urban relationship that take place in this location: 1. Territorial: creating a new pole of atraction. 2. Intertown: linking the three little cities together. 3. Local: designing a new neiborhood at human scale, with all the amenities needed. See full project at: www.claracampocid.com

Blue Forest Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Competition: Land Art Generator Type: Urban furniture Team: Ignacio SuquĂŠ, Ricard Fabregat, Ana MercadĂŠ, Clara Campo-Cid. Year: 2013 The Blue Team was born due to a commission for Solar Artworks in Dubai, to adapt the Blue Forest competition project to the Middle East environment. We are a group of young architects, engineers and designers focused in exploring the great potential that solar collection devices can have in architecture, not as an COMPETITIONS
added element but as a concept essence. We imagine buildings and urban furniture in which beauty and technology come together, creating the new aesthetic expression that our era requires. We strive to achieve designs that not only have a 0% of energy consumption but that even generate clean energy with excess to share with the public grid, contributing to build a better world, the world that next generations deserve. The Bue Tree is an urban furniture structure formed by several components, these can move in order to orientate their solar cells to the best direction and cre-
ate different shapes. The Blue Trees can also be combined to create public shadowed places where citizens can interact, charge their devices and learn about the benefits of clean energy. See full project at: www.claracampocid.com

COMPETITIONS
Affordable Housing Chicago, United States. FINALIST Firm: FORMA Arch Team: Ignacio Suqué, Clara Campo-Cid Type: Residential Year: 2012 This proposal was finalist in “The Resurrection project” competition for the development of a block in West Chicago, in the mexican neighborhood of the city. The main objective was to design affordable rental apartments with high quality space and energy efficiency. The program COMPETITIONS
is divided in apartments of 3, 2 and 1 bedrooms, parking and green space. Every apartment is south orientated, with cross ventilation and with direct natural ventilation to each room. The green roof is designed with solar panels and water collectors for grey water supply. Furthermore, given the existent neighborhood bound, all the apartments have a south orientated terrace to promote the outdoor life and relationship between neighboors. These spaces are protected from the summer sun with a wood structure that can host vegetation. Also, these exterior spaces can be thought as urban
orchards and water collectors. The floorplan of the entire building is modulated in a 5x5ft grid. With this strategy the structural components and material sizes are all the same, making the construction process easier and more efficient, and consequently lowering the final total cost of the project.

COMPETITIONS
Park Pavilion Barcelona, Spain. 4TH PLACE Competition: Fundaci贸n Arquicaja Type: Public Facility Area: 5400sqft Year: 2013 This proposal was awarded 4th place on the Arquicaja Foundation annual competition. The brief consisted on designing in any park of the country a pavilion with the following requirements: _ Program including: an exhibition area, a cafeteria, a kiosk, a storehouse, and restrooms. COMPETITIONS
_Construction characteristics: light structure, sustainable, recyclabe, easily adaptable, expandable or detachable. The selected park for the proposal is the 10km path on the perimeter of Collserola mountain, overlooking the city of Barcelona and the mediterranean sea. This path is very popular, having a large diversification of visitors and activities. The identified problem to solve for the competition is the lack of services on the North entrance, which makes a perfect fit for a welcoming park pavilion. The idea is to design a canopy building to be the entrance door to the park, creating
a unique experience through it. The plan is organically generated by the interior flow of the visitors walking through the different spaces, this flow is poetically enhanced by the zenital light pattern. 5 uses - 5 spaces - 5 atmospheres To differientate every program area given the open and continuos character of the building, each space has its own atmosphere. From a basic hexagonal shape, the geometry is deformed to create the best experience for each activity. The prefabricated structure and material finishes are made out of ligt wood. Easily adaptable, expandable and recyclable.

Sustainable design + Energy simulation Chicago, USA. Type: Residential Tower Team: Clara Campo-Cid, Ignacio SuquĂŠ Year: 2011, Illinois Institute of Technology The aim of the project is to design an energy efficient building, achieving a minimum 50% anual cost energy savings in comparision with an average residential high-rise in the same location. Starting with our studio theorical design we energetically analize it in order to visualize the weaknesses and to be SKILLS
able then, to propose energy conservation measures accordingly. Achieving in this way a new design comitted with the planet, and overmore, with a greatly decreased anual cost for the owner.

Total annual Energy Cost and Savings vs Average building
Proposal of an active energy system Taking advantage of the good orientation and the inclination of the external layer of the double skin facade, a solar panel covering is proposed to maximaze the natural energy gains and minimize the annual energy cost for the owner.
After applying the energy conservation measures proposed and achieving promising results the objective is to check the % of energy reduction the Solaris Tower offers in comparison to an average building. In order to do the calculations a USgovermental online service is used: www.energystar.gov
