Year I 2011 Place I Tafira baja (Gran Canaria) The assignment is done in a small population center, at the end of a row of houses and facing directly towards a linear park separating two streets. The proposal is hermetic on the outside, accepting only the blurred green line that enters the plot to divide the residence from the study. And it is however in this green gap where the different images and perspectives are projected from the inside by the house, as a catalyst for the life it contains, as a picture.

Outside it is planar, static and heavy.

Year I 2012 Place I Barrio San Cristóbal (Gran Canaria) The neighborhood of San Cristobal is located in a Canarian city with a large influx of foreign tourism. For the current exercise an amplification of its hospital is requested. This involves the construction of a certain number of small collective apartments that can accommodate any family temporarily. The particularity of this proposal is to “get out” of the established plot to cross the highway below and collect the coastline of the beach in an abandoned field. Thus, we propose the idea of doing also a rehabilitation area that can nourish with the advantages of the new environment.

Year I 2012 Place I Rovaniemi (Finlandia) Observatory - Hotel Boreal I Archimedium The first transcendent choice appears with the location.

Given nearby ski facilities and the considerable slope of the hill, it is proposed a funicular that can unify the mountain and insufflate a renewed vitality to the current track. This allows an extension of the same in the project site. In such way, we have now the possibility of setting the project in a higher place and, however, with a comfortable and fast access (unificated with the recovery of an existing ride that ends in the same location).

The next election is contrary to the first.

Going down into the ground is now appealing both for thermal reasons and for the new possibility of “focusing the sky�, as if it was a lens, giving all the attention to the essential phenomenon of the project: The Northern Lights. Appear in this way interconnected spheres are arranged with the same geometry that they themselves are observing, the stars.

And so, as a seemingly chaotic agglomeration extends on the surface, we find underneath the same layer of its essence the set of gears and mechanisms which give order to it.

Residential/Offices building

Year: 2012 Place: Milano As a construction assignment appears a project that combines new structures with other existing and covers, so, a broader spectrum of study.

The project’s idea consists on generating a new central building which, this time, benefits from the possible relationship with the “walled� environment. Through a second intervention in the existing building with an identical geometry to this hub, we intended to emphasize the synergy between the elements, almost as if the different perspectives that permeate walls and base arised from this central figure.

Historical evolution

Planning

The heart of milan, starting with the environment of the central station, fills in the late nineteenth century linear and compact residential. In this case the chosen plot is part of a edificatoria line about 300 meters, which is divided into 6 longitudinal blocks.

Year: 1870 Area: 473 m2

Free space is now used to make buildings “inside” the residential complex (a process that can be seen elsewhere in Milan too). The growing population is forced to sacrifice the lightness of previous urban fabric.

Year: 1910 Area: 370m2

The peripheral growth, ironically, further increases the value of land and plots Milanes again revised to squeeze more, if anything, the square footage available. As a result galleries on the lower floors are formed to oxygenate the central properties, chained in the new framework.

Year: 1950 Area: 424 m2

Edificated Line

Void’s interpretation

Closed “wall”

Preexistent building

Re-Construction

Construction

The current building has large concrete slabs about 50 inches thick, combined with thick stone walls to be considered as bearing walls of reinforced concrete.

The intervention would raise the starting of the new pillars of the old load-bearing walls, so they must match. The forged, in this case, it is appropriate to raise it beams and slabs.

This central building poses sustain entire upper structure on only four pillars of support and an upper truss on which to hang the slabs. With the idea of generating the lowest possible weight, with a floor decking to reduce the upper truss work and the total weight of the structure is chosen.

Structure: Loadbearing concrete Loft: Reinforced slab

Structure: Pillars Loft: Beams and lightweight bricks

Structure: Construcción descendente Loft: Reticular

PREDIMENSIONING

Predimensioning in the worst-case scenario, the garage (reticular framework)

Framework structure election

Is assumed a reticular framework with a recoverable brick on both floors of the garage, in wich the first of the two is because it is considered the most representative.

Nerves have an inclination of 10º crash for possible later extraction.

Framework geometric characteristics

The project’s lights are 9.5 meters long, exceptionally reaching up to 10.4 in which however the heavier structure (due to the earlier provision of retaining walls, decide to keep). As you can see in the table, it’s possible to use a two-way slab eventually. With the last table, we’ll calculate the approximate edges with which will work according to the relationship between the thickness and the down istance of the own framework.

Edge ( 1/C ) outsaid vains:

C = 1/21 = 10.4/21 = 0.495 .......... final thickness 0.5 (0.45 + 0.05 ) Hollow bricks + Compression Layer

Abacuses

The chosen abacuses vary between 15 and 20 percent of light between pillars, optimizing as possible the engagement with the panels. Tapping up the near area shear failure is avoided. Also keep in mind that in the case of the panels wren’t in the exact measure, it would be tapped up.

B = 0.17 ( percentage ) x 8.6 ( vain ) = 1.45 m H = 0.16 ( percentage ) x 7.5 ( vain ) = 1.15 m

B = 0.17 ( percentage ) x 8.6 ( vain ) = 1.5 m H = 0.19 ( percentage ) x 3.6 ( vain ) = 0.7 m

B = 0.17 ( percentage ) x 8.6 ( vain ) = 1.5 m H = 0.19 ( percentage ) x 3.6 ( vain ) = 0.7 m

Beam or edge bam

The edge band has an equivalent width, at least, singing, and will be the element that supports the effects of stress.

In this case the beam section will be a 50 x 50, with an extension wich always depend on the lengths for anchoring and shall be determined according to the diameter of the rounded hoop.

Framework calculation

We will consider a piece of framework as a continuous beam charging upon a number of load pilaes, being always articulated or provided with an elastic resistance that offers resistance.

A number of distributions will be stabilished depending on the opposition offered by the pillars and the point we are studying in order to know how much strenght arrive to the framework.

All of this is summed up in the following table:

Mo = ( Go + Qo ) x Lp x L1² / 8

Go Permanent loads Qo Overload Lp Portico’s widht L1 Length of the span in the study’s direction

Loads acting in the building:

DB-SE-AE appendix C and for the overloads, according to the table that appears in DB-SE-AE Art 3.1.1 (Based on the security coefficients from the table DB-SE Art 4.2.3)

Go Permanent loads

Revetment weight = 2.5 KN/m2 2.5 kn/M2 X 1.35 = 3.375 kn/m2 Total = 11.465 KN/m2 + 3.375 KN/m2 = 14.85 KN/m2

Go + Qo = 23.85 KN/m2

Sum of the framework garage/commercial loads = 23.85 Sum of the framework residential loads = 23.4 Calculating the reference isostatic motions: (1-2 ) (2-3 ) (3-4 ) (4-5 ) (5-6 ) (6-7 ) (7-8 ) (8-9 )

Artist’s workshop

05

Year: 2014 Place: Barrio italia (Santiago de Chile) The analysis synthesized on the cover is, now stronger than ever, the essence of a particular initiative located on the “bohemian� neighborhood of Santiago, known as Providencia. The approach of the exercise was from the beginning to generate a project as realistic as possible for the people who live and work in the neighborhood. To do this I searched both, people who were really interested in renting a studio, or owners willing to rehabilitate their homes to accommodate other businesses inside.

Where would you paint?

Well I'd like to paint in large empty spaces, and maybe a few more secluded areas for some pictures where I can control the light on the pictures Ok, I undesrstand If I design an empty central space to work, what else do you think that could happen there?

Well, you know better! I think in a large open space could accommodate some meetings, or just another place to appreciate the largest art works, with more space

Year: 2014 Place: Barrio Yungay (Santiago de Chile) In Latin America skyscrapers are shy. The sky appears free while land grows in the center and outskirts of large cities. The conventional scheme of the compact city turns and a green space is extruded, two-dimensional element in modern urbanism, to reinsert the park as a new component of the town’s visive image.

Proyectual task:

Free Proposal on social housing Is requested a residential project in the Yungay's neighborhood area, in Santiago. Since the proposal, always inside the social sphere, was totally free in the projective and formal field, a more sensitive work that might highlights the differents perspectives between continents was proposed.

With this goal in mind, and a certain curiosity in terms of density experimentation in the Santiago's social fabric, I propose a "unconventional" analysis that leads me to more abstract and general conjectures, used ultimately to generate a project capable to seek answers for citizen overcrowding in the capital.

Diagram II

Volume: 1170 M3

Concept

The main idea on which the job will focusses is the compact housing and vertical green space, as a social experiment.

It would be understood in such a case the green space not as an area, but as a three-dimensional volume opposed to the other buildings in both ways composition and program.

Thus, the essence of the idea is now clear: a dense social set with 150 people capacity, and a 1500 m3 of public space inside a green tower.

Networks of hanging flower pots are arranged to fill up the tower's body with green brushstrokes. In about one cubic meter of land, are projected several native species that grow with little root raised.

Along with the route is proposed the possibility to enable a small exhibition area where some of the most representative insects of the Chilean fauna are showed, taking advantage of the tower's characteristics.

The tower must be a semitransparent element, opposed to the hard concrete buildings around it. The branches of trees that mimics sieve the surrondings with its leaves, and likewise the tower must subtly "draw" green lines in the city's view

Proposed

M Model

In general lines, is proposed a system that uses gray water of horizontal housing to satisfy the vertical park's requirements.

Trying to make the process as clear and effective as possible, it will be avaliable a pressure tray to collect data regarding to the weather, and rainfall sensors on the tower's top. All of this information can be contrasted with the historical values of Santiago by a central system that regules the water income. The gray water will be stored in one tank, waiting to be used. This items are automatically handled by a central net, that whill determine the water requirements and automatically open the tank valve to meet those needs. In addition a second automated installation could be connected to the first to detect the tank's filling in order to, if so, close the valves from the houses.

The importance of a facility that controls the whole system is essential for effectiveness. On the one hand, the automated installation should generate realistic data of water needed for irrigation, through the collation of data produced by the sensors arranged, and secondly it must control the water that value happens, exclusively. This is usually done through connected valves that can be opened and closed according to the values that the system receives.

Automated installation

Irrigation water

A number of tools are figure out in order to calculate the necessary water supply to fill the tower each month in the most efficient way possible. In Chile the coldest and wettest months are between June and August, where there is usually no water (except for the vertical areas where a small weekly watering is needed). The hottest months instead, particularly January, must be watered in the morning to not loosing excessive water by evaporation, between 4-5 days per week, with the park in question.

Directly due to the increase of value of water and, as part of various sustainable strategies so popular lately, are appearing more and more systems that try to reuse gray water for different purposes. In the present case, will try to cover the cost of the tower and, in turn, fill the remaining to be reusable in all homes.

B

Evaporating tray

The evaporating tray method is a relatively simple system that deliver adequate information for programming goals.

The evaporator is standardized and must meet the following conditions: 120'65 cm diameter, 25.4 cm in height and must be constructed in 0.8 mm of galvanized iron.

The structure is placed on wooden supports wich in turn rest on the ground. The tank's bottom must be 15 cm from ground level.

Then, this space is filled with earth, leaving only 5 available cm below the bottom of the tank. The container is filled with clean water and is refilled from time to time, ensuring that the water level is always maintained between 5 and 7.5 cm from the edge as possible.

The water tank has to be calculated according to the daily water needs of the tower. In this case the capacity to produce water by the housing block is greater than consumed by the tower. Thus, is proposed to use the same measures regarding the latter, to use this water in a new consumption cycle.

Inside the tank, the water passes through several physical processes that serve to remove small dirt particles that have been acquired over the household.

P

Pluviometric Sensor

Sensors to improve overall automation of any irrigation system, interrupt the operations and, therefore, the irrigation emitters when it starts raining, so no irrigation water is wasted. It Also turn off the irrigation system when the ambient temperature drops below 0 째 C, because if the water freezes could burst pipes and cause damage to the installations: in pipes, valves, taps, etc. Even allow to identify when the wind is strong to avoid the water coverage to be affected, the spray pattern be broken and harmed the water uniformity on crops.

One of the most effective ways to carry water to the plants, once calculated the amount of water and times of year when most needed anyway, is the Hidropack system. The operation is very simple; to the usual pumps is added a pneumatic system in which, when compressed air (separated by a film which prevents water from mixing with) "bounces" helping bring pump water. In respect to solutions with intermediate or upper tanks, the Hidropack has the advantage of not needing support in intermediate heights, so that the weight and inertia is lower and the structure can be lighter.
