I’m a spanish architect living in London. I’m a creative and imaginative girl, willing to learn new things as I believe that projecting appropiately lies in the basis of your memory. Due to my fascination for the applications of the emergent technologies in the architecture and design, I have completed my proffesional background with different courses, lectures and workshops related with digital fabrication and computer-aided design. I consider that working in a multidisciplinary environment with people from different cultures improve your personal and proffesional growth.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy my works here!

Internship in Izaskun Chinchilla architects “Cycle to School Gates” Urban research project Position: Intern architect
_ Collaborator: Bartlett School of Architecture
May 2015 - September 2015
It is an urban research project in colaboration with The Barttlet School of Architecture and Camden Council. In the last years the free movement of children in the city was a concerning to the community of Sommerstown in London. In this way we designed an urban strategy to encourage children that live and study within the locale to feel safe enough to use implemented cycle routes from a young age. CYCLE-BUS GATEWAYS The Gateways are and movable structure designed to be located at the start and end of a routes. They are designed as a bench for waiting and can be trasformed into table for childrens´ workshops. Their canopy formed of kite-surfing kites works as a shelter where the children can wait until the monitor arrives. Signal detail - Wheel and wood join
Architect Leader & Founder Izaskun Chinchilla is a young architect from Spain who is running her studio since 2009. She has beenn awarded by the Real Institute of British architects with the RIBA International Fellowship. She has focus her career in the research and design of new models of architecture that adapt better to the economic and environmental crisis problem we are going through.
First proposal. Exploring different combinations
Final prototypes. Mobile devices in workshop position.
Collaboration with Izaskun Chinchilla architects Centro Centro Madrid - Interior refurbishment Architect - Design & drawing production The competition consisted in refurbishing the emblematic post office center, a neoclasic building in one of the main squares of Madrid. The aim of the project was to create an open and free space for the citizens where they could talk and share their interest for the city. Our proposal wanted to bring together two important points for us, reusing existing material, such as the city furniture that you could find in the streets or parks, and keep the identity and spatiality of the existing building, as it is one of the most relevant examples of neoclasic architecture in Madrid. Our idea was to create the home of the citizens but keeping the city essence. In this way we created different scenarios and areas, where people could develop different activities. In this way we took elements from the city furniture, such as benches, market stalls, bins.. and we tuned them to create our different scenaries.

To whom it might concern, Please consider this letter to be my strong recommendation for Cristina Garza. She has been working in the architectural firm I funded and direct for different collaborations during the last two years. She has worked in different projects, which were focused on innovation, sustainability, experimental and collaborative practise. She has shown a great deal of enthusiasm for her work going beyond not only her limits and but seriously exceeding expectations. The first project she got involved was a Public Engagement project in collaboration with the Bartlett School, University Collage of London. She and my team contributed to the construction of mobile urban devices, providing the necessary infrastructure to mark the important points of the new cycling route in the North of London. For this project she worked with CNC and fabrication methods to develop the prototypes, showing her rising interest in the vast potential of digital fabrication. In the following projects she has carried out different tasks, from managing, prototyping and demonstrating to have high graphic skills as well as being capable to produce and build 1:1 prototypes and models. Among her different visual skills, she has the ability to create high quality images. Cristina has demonstrated a huge enthusiasm towards design and towards learning and improving her knowledge in all fields, showing a huge interest to different areas related with the technological applications to the architecture as a potential tool to go further in the creation any geometry and use of materials. As a team member, she has shown to have excellent social skills in teamwork and problem-solving, carrying out projects with her colleagues in a professional way, being helpful and always trying to keep a positive mood facing problems. She is flexible with working hours and is always willing to work on any project assigned to her and face it with a decisive attitude. In addition, she adapts very quickly to the given design challenges, which is always a useful skill. It is with high confidence that I recommend Cristina for any architectural position that she feel matches her career objectives and skills. Your office will be benefit by her valuable contribution.

SPLINE - Adaptive urban furniture _ Hackney, London EASTWEST ARCHITECTURE _ Architect Assistant Part II September 2016 - Current / Product Design department As a member of Eastwest architecture, we are really interested in the digital fabrication and the great possibilities to implement in the creative proces. As part of our design department, we wanted to create a more outstanding entrance for our studio that attract people to get into and also provide us some space to sit during the breaks. There was a few parametes to have in mind, as the distance between the street level and the entrance level. The furniture is based on a parametric design, made of modular pieces that can be assembled easily. It adapts to the different obstacles that finds, creating an organic shape. We produced a 3D model that we manufactured in plywood and assembled in a few hours. The result was a cost-effective and easily assembled bench that could be manufactured for other clients as it could adapt to the parameters of every situation.

Internship in Architekten Cie
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Position: Intern architect September 2015 - June 2016
This company is one of the biggest architecture studios in Amsterdam, and has been involved in a wide range of projects in NL and other countries. In addition they develope all kind of work and thanks to this multidisciplinary background, I have been involved in projects from all the areas, such as urban planning, dwellings development, office space and interior design. In this way I have been able to learn how to confront big scale projects or execute buildings from the sketches to the real construction. This diversity work and the active energy of the studio has taught me to be more efficient and creative to solve different kind of problems at the same time.
CRYSTAL SILO / Competition to build a new residential tower in Rotterdam Team: Branimir Médic - Cofounder & Jan Willem Baijense - Senior architect The competition aclaim to build a new residential tower in from of the Rotterdamer from OMA. We had to reuse the structure of the prexisting building placed there, an old building from the 80’s with a concrete reticular structure. inter Our proposal was building our new tower on the top of it, continuing its structure that would divide the new intervention. The new building would seems tree where you can distinguish the two parts that constitute it. Looking as a platform that hang the new constructionresidential tower showing how the old and new architecture can merge but still keeps its historical essence.
OVG OďŹƒce building /Amsterdam, Netherlands Team: Eric Van Noord, Igor Sladoljev. This project was a restoration of an existing building where we needed to preserve the essential elements of it, such as the structure. In this way we rebuilt the facades, extended the building adding a west wing to the existing area and we added a cristal prisma on the top where all the public events would take place. I participated actively in this project during most of my internship, taking part in the drawing representation and modelling of the project, but proposing designs for the facade and interior distribution and solving the contruction details of the facade.

Summerschool - Architectural Association London “Inverse London” - Urban research program . London, UK July 2013 - August 2013 The summer school consisted on developing a somewhat utopic project about a future London, in which what now a days is water would be land and vice-versa. In order to create this new scenario, we had to study present London, and analyze all the economic, social, human behaviors, connections and infras-tructures of the present in order to know how our “inverse London” would behave. The course was divided in three weeks of intense work, in which we analyzed and learned the current aspects of London. With this known, we projected the newcity along the river Thames, which would now be our only piece of land, developing images and postcards of how this new city would look.

The aim of the course was expanding our knowledge on prototyping methodologies, to look at the vast possibilities of these new tools generating performative and procedural design. It was a ďŹ rst approach to the digital fabrication methods and its implementation in the design process. We explored the essence of a simple component , its geometry and how it could be replicated inďŹ nitive times to generate a more comple volume.

First prototypes.
Repetitve simple shapes which conform more complex volumes This way, we worked during a week learning to use Rhino and Grasshopper in order to apply the small modiďŹ cations to the basic shapes. We cut the pieces that would conform the installation with the laser machine, and by uniting one with the other we generated the dierent types of shapes.

# 03 Final master’s project My last year project is a research about a social issue that is evolving the urban behaviour and development of the city of Amsterdam. In this way I analised the housing types to generate a new model to build within the city and deal with the lack of land issue.
LIVING ON THE TOP Laboratory for Art and Social research Amsterdam, Netherlands
Final project of the master and degree in Architecture.
CONCEPT My final tesis project was a research about how to build in a density city with a lack of land and a population that rise every year. being a metropoli like London of Berlin. It is located in one of the most emblematics areas of the city. It use to be the limit of the first settlement of the city. This area was really affected during the war so its layout changed with the new urban developments of the 20th century. In all this area there is a need of social services that satisfy some social needs such as working space for young entrepeneurs or libraries and leisure areas for old and retire people. I develope a social building container which is supperposed over the existing buildings trying to reestructure and extend an old empty building of the area and provide the new space needed in the city.
Exterior view
Layers scheme - The building is read through the overlapping of the dierent layers, such as structure, oor and and ceiling. As a result it generates two dierent topographies on top and bottom that refers to the site issues.
-
View of the interior patio & main access -
This platform colonize the top of the plot as a parasit that lies on a rock. The exterior shows the structure of the building, marking the difference between the old and the new as it is going to remain as a legacy of the modernity. In this way the structure is embodied in the materiality and transparency of the facade. It consists in a 3D structure made of steel that contributes to overall rigidity. It is hold by bespoke colums with “U” shape . These ones embrace the areas that fly over the existing buildings.
- Gallery & Access to the upper level -
All the stair cores work as structural points to hold the main structure line of the building. In this way we get a further freedom in the access oor.
Se proponen expositores, estructuras tipo andamio que cumplan funciones de expositores, mesas de trabajo, cómodos asientos o incluso divisores en lugar de paredes. El proposito es utili ar el mínimo número de elementos diferentes y buscarle distintos usos a uno mismo. eutili ar, reciclar y reinnovar son las claves a la hora del diseño.

CORK FACTORY RENOVATION + Landscape design Cåceres, Spain Theory and Design V ¡ Unit: Paredes Pedrosa / Ruben Alcolea
CONCEPT Vegaviana is a small town in the south of Spain , which owns an important production of cork because of the vegetation that conforms the region. It was designed in the thirties to bring new families to cultivate the lands so it has a clear and rigid urban trade. The integration of the new cork factory wants to connect this urban area with the nature that surround it, and get it closer the landscape to the citizens of the village. The area chose to develope the factory was an old cork forest in the south of the town. This new building will be completly integrated with the appearence of the landscape, looking like a continuation of the natural growth of these trees.
Situation model
¿ How does it work ? The integration of the building is possible because of the curvy shape of the rooftop. It imitates the top of trees with the curve concrete that covers the set of the buildings. This repetitive vaulted roof pretend to give a continue and homogenize visual appearance to all the factory. The construction of the building is based in a reptitive modul of 5m of with. In this way we get a prefabricated structure of concrete vaults that allows a complete open space in the floorplan . This open spaces adapt to the different need of the factory, being able to redistribute the function depends on the needs and the activity of the company. This modul consists in concrete vaults which lay over concrete pilars of 30x30cm. The floor is made of sanitary system to prevent the building to be damaged because of the flooding of the river.

Tudela, Spain The challenge of the project is to introduce a centre of high technology in an urban and dense context with an important historical tradition. How do we combine new and old? In addition the program of the project sets out the need of two itineraries to satisfy both of the user’s needs, but how would it be the relationship between them? My project was born from that point.I wanted to make an itinerary through the building in which the researcher and the visitor would be close of each other but independent in the development of their activities. The visitor would go through the museum in different steps, first observing and learning how the researchers study the conectome and research, and then getting to the main space of the project, the conectome hall, the place of exposition.

Conectome interior view
It is conceived as an exhibition space for learning
Construction system The conectome zone is attached to the facade structure thanks to a tridimensional structure of steel bar construction. These steel bars are joint through a welded connection to the vierendel beams that attach it to the concrete facade. Over this steel structure is screwed an alluminium carpentry rail which is ďŹ xed with a nut and washer to the steel bars.
