CCSM - Community Centre in Marín Thesis - Master of Architecture Location: Marín | Pontevedra | Spain Date: 2010 - 2011 Dimension: 1 500 m2 Programme: Design of a social centre in the small town of Marín, Pontevedra (Spain). It should solve the connection with the southern garden area and improve the complex traffic network of the neighbourhood. SOCIAL CENTRE 3 flexible workspaces | Library (books, multimedia, film) | Restaurant and coffee shop | Reception | Director’s Office | Staff room SOCIAL SERVICES AREA 2 social services offices | Boardroom | Waiting area

Location plan

LOCATION The Cantodarea district is a very chaotic and complex area. It has a strong south-north slope with a succession of three-metre tall concrete walls. It also combines 5 or 6 floor buildings in the main access with small-scale houses at the back of the plot.

GENERATION OF THE VOLUME

The height of the building in the north is the first determining.

The main volume becomes higher in that part and remains low in the other edge.

The volume is pushed down to create a public space.

A new volume solves the south slope and the main entrance to the centre.

The north volume becomes a door to the new public space and guides the visitor to the entrance.

The light holes illuminate the interior of the centre and help to organise the public space.

Floor Plan 2

ARCHITECTURE The proposal places all the public programme under ground and keeps the social services in a “dolmen volume” to the north. The public and the social services areas remain connected but physically separated in order to generate two different privacy levels. The main volume acts like a door to the new public space, which must be crossed to find the entrance of the building.

RECYCLING The area of private gardens in the south will be transformed into private allotments. Every existing small agricultural construction will be substituted by a port container.

FAร ADE

View from the main road

The faรงade of the building consists of two different layers. The interior one is a red steel sheet, the same used to built port containers. The outside one is made of translucent steel boards orientated in both ways. This combination makes the main volume a big container of lights and shadows. |reference - port container|

STAIR This stair represents a sculpture inside the building. It works as a visual and physical separation between the workshop area an d the restaurant. It consists of two free-standing parts: one block of concrete with three wooden steps, and a corten steel box with the rest of the steps inside. The railing is common to the whole stair and it is made of stainless steel with iroko handrail.

FIRST SKETCHES “Tree is leaf and leaf is tree – house is city and city is house – a tree is a tree but is also a huge leaf – a leaf is a leaf, but is also a tiny tree – a city is not a city unless it is also a huge house – a house is a house only if it is also a tiny city” (Aldo Van Eyck) With this statement from Aldo Van Eyck begins the idea of the Centre: a little city where these children can develop their social skills based on the transitions public-private and interior-exterior. Since the first sketches the building is treated as ONE building, TWO functions = ONE centre.

CIAC | SPECIAL NEEDS SCHOOL AND RESIDENCE

Ground floor

ARCHITECTURE The common programme is placed on the ground floor with the restaurant and courtyard in the middle. The school classrooms and administration area are allocated in the two floor volume on the north. The residential volume is elevated and generates a courtyard under it. Every residential floor is equipped with a common room and a kitchen, both of them facing the sea. The platform on the first level becomes a public space for the residence and a courtyard for the school. The sports pitch can be covered by a waterproof membrane, creating an improvised stand on the platform. The corridor on the ground floor works as an interior street, with the possibility to expand all the functions around it or to host its own one. South view

Current state

GENERATION The project consists of the design of the facilities to be used as a multi-match area for the lower teams of Boiro FC. It should have stands for both pitches, a bar, and 8 changing rooms that could be used at the same time. Two concrete volumes organise the space and make it understandable for the visitors.

Location plan

ARCHITECTURE - CHANGING ROOMS The volume of the changing rooms is also the main entrance to the complex. Its longitudinal shape guides the users from the car park to inside the stadium and shows them the stands volume, which clearly defines the working of the whole project. It holds 8 changing rooms for the teams (3 + 5) and 2 for the referees, as well as public toilets and a ticket office.

ARCHITECTURE - STANDS The stands volume is situated between the two pitches and serves them at the same time. The different holes in the concrete wall connect both sides visually and physically. In the northern end, the covered bar is also accessible from each side and its glass faรงade protects the supporters from the rainy Galician weather.

PROPOSAL The proposed tower consists of 15 pentagonal floors rotating around a central patio. Every floor has a terrace directly connected with the central patio. The building should solve by itself the mixture of scales of the surrounding area and the different views from each main access. The communication with the existing building is solved under ground and lightened by rounded patios. The common area is situated on this level (restaurant, auditorium, common rooms, etc.)
