Land art, Earthworks (coined by Robert Smithson), or Earth art is an art movement in which landscape and the work of art are inextricably linked. It is also an art form that is created in nature. Sculptures are not placed in the landscape, rather, the landscape is the means of their creation. For this project, we had to figure out a way to revitalised the landscape featured by an abandoned mine, poorly rehabed, in Galicia, Spain.

LOCATION We are in As Pontes, a rehabilited mine. In here we identified three distinct areas: the tip, the lake and the beach. We identify the element of water as the protagonist. Therefore we focus on the study of the lake.

ACTION For this study we analyse significant points in the lake regarding the movement of water. Fort he compilation of data, we decided to use rubber ducks and the force by which study the water movement, the wind. The action will consist in launching 200 rubber ducks from these points and watch their movement. Also by this action we intend to revitalise the lake adding some color to the gray palette left from the abandoned mine.

ACTORS Y ACTIONS The players of the action were 200 rubber ducks, thrown into the lake by the components of the A09 group.

become a mass of ducks impossible to order.

3. We throw four groups of ducks tangled and the remaining isolated We do this in six different batches every 5 minutes. We assume, for the wind direction that his career ends at the edge of the beach.

The actions to be taken were the setting of the ducks on the lake, the photographic surveillance its path and whereabouts and finally collection. For the representation of wind and water movements, take nautical maps and marine currents as references. MATERIALS AND PREPARATION With thread, scissors, pliers and many ducks we have to make the ordered lattices. Besides the material, look at the wind forecast.

STEP BY STEP 0. Arrival in As Pontes. We realize that it is impossible to access to the lake from all the points provided. We focus on the beach. We are in an area bounded by yellow buoys also mark a boundary and reinforce the action.

PREDICCIĂ&#x201C;N DEL RESULTADO

1. We check that wind direction coincides with that predicted. We chose the launch point with the intention to increase the travel of the ducks as possible on the beach. Since the wind was SO we are at the northern end of the beach.

OBJECTIVES This action is intended to map the effect of wind on the water and the movement that occurs on the surface of the lake. Compare the motion of an isolated object with a group. Activate the landscape by introducing a new color, yellow. Create a new limit on the water by a row of ducks. Colonizing Lake area for a reference as to the scale of this.

5. After 20 minutes, with about 120 ducks already in the water, watch as these have created a new limit. The line form, check the wind direction.

6. After 25 minutes the first group of ducks have already reached the shore. These enhance the boundary between water and land, with color.

CONCLUSIONS 1.We realised that the launching point from which to throw the ducklings to water is essential to determine the direction of the ducks . In our case , we chose a ledge out in the east end of the beach , to launch the ducks to water, considering that the wind southsouthwest rolaba . And therefore we sensed that the ducks end up on the 4.Without doubt, the arrival point is beach. Therefore, we conclude that important. But the fact remains , the depending on the point of release, time to reach that point. And this was end up on a lake shore or another . one of the conclusions we arrived after throwing different batches of ducks , 2.Without doubt, following the launch and timing as each batch of ducks of ducks we conclude that the wind is took to reach its destination. We the most important factor to know obtained different times of each run. exactly where the ducks arrive . Depending on the order , and small Therefore we mapped wind currents at wind variations . that moment with the aim of getting some directions to conclude where the 5. Another important conclusion was ducks ended up with the wind currents . the influence of different types of clusters. After releasing several batches 3. After throwing the ducks, we could of ducklings isolated and launch three observe how all of them followed the families of ducks together. We same direction. And an arrow was conclude that every single duck follows formed visually by the ducks , marking its own independent direction, but in well the wind direction, and therefore the family of ducks , although some their point of arrival to the shore. tend to go, the group makes the address even less scattered . 6. Finally, how the ducks highlighted the coastline at arrival and formed an imaginary barrier. We ended up with the conclusion that even when throwing ducks from the same point they went to different destinations and created a line that defined the range of possibilities of where the ducks could end . As a final conclusion , we were surprised of how an item as simple as a rubber ducky, used in mapping can help the study and understandment our environment.

Dealing with dwellings, with the finding of that personal space one can call home. Dealing with lighting, comfort, function.

COURTY路YARD路HOUSES

From a square lot, to the designing of four different, yet conceptually equal, dwellings. The shared concept for the four houses was the continuinity of space, the flowing paths that could be created within a four-family neighbourhood, taking in consideration the common spaces and the most intimate ones.

COURTY路YARD路HOUSES

In designing collective housing tower out of a concrete structure, the intention was to fit as many dwellings as possible in the lot given. This, understood in the context of a crowded and continuosly growing city like Madrid. The design is meant to be a icon in the city and at the same time give as many housing as possible with the possibility of growing to adapt to the city changes and the demand of housing.

COLECTIVE路HOUSING

Focusing on a specific site of the city of Madrid, Ca帽o Roto, it is proposed an architecture plan to revitalize the city in this spot. The objective of this plan was to urbanise this area with the design of residential, comercial and public space.

URBAN PLAN

The goal of this project was to design a building in the existing campus of the School of Architecture in Madrid, for all the students to gather and be able to exercise.. The focus of this project was to get a deep understanding on the structure. To study in detail every single element of the structure and the structure as a whole.
