“You fear the imagination. And dreams even more so. You fear the responsibility that can come from them. But you can’t help but sleep. And if you sleep, you dream. When you’re awake, you can more or less restrain your imagination. But there’s no way to control dreams.” “Kafka on the shore”, Haruki Murakami This is where a part of my imagined, ethereal world, of which Murakami speaks, is exposed; the dreams, irrepressible and charged with a necessary responsibility, are boldly presented without a fixed form: Architecture, photography, essay...

SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE OF GRANADA Student promotion 2011-2016 Average grade 8/10 Average of outstanding in the department of Architectural Projects Three interventions are selected in the surroundings of the Alhambra Forest, carried out at different moments of the race and where the necessary sensitivity for this type of environment is observed. The characteristics of the interventions are also varied: Consolidate or inhabit a ruin, or new plant on a unique topography, are the three situations proposed, resolved with subtle gestures, which seek to respond from the place to the rest of the city: The project found.
PALIMPSEST Year 2013-2014 Mentor: Juan Domingo Santos
A brief project, where the knowledge of the ruin of an old museum lost in the Alhambra forest becomes the object of the project. The consolidation of the ruin, in order to avoid the collapse of the slender brick walls, and the conservation of all the vegetation that has invaded the exterior and interior spaces of the halls, led to the decision to create surgical geometries that respond to the residency programme for artists proposed by means of minimal gestures, mostly made of steel and wood. The project becomes yet another stage in an ever-changing space, like an ephemeral element that collides with the massive character of the ruin, an eternal rock condemned to disappear.

THREE LIVES Curso 2015-2016 Tutor: Alejandro MuĂąoz Miranda
The walled area of the Alhambra has a fortification that was built in the 4th century and has been transformed over the years: Torres Bermejas. The intervention includes a project of research and artistic creation, stay and exhibition, through a sum of experiences, materialized in minimal interventions that manage to put the ruin in value from the way it is inhabited.

DWELLING BETWEEN WATERS Year 2015-2016 Mentor: Alejandro MuĂąoz Miranda With honors
A house and a studio for the Architect-Restorer of the Alhambra, a new challenge on a steep plot of land, where the Nasrid irrigation water routes are recovered and the pieces are arranged according to the existing water and vegetation. A house that vibrates with the passage of water, adapting its speed to that of the room and vice versa, public but intimate, stagnant and in movement. Where are the gardens of Generalife?

AGRARIAN COMMUNITY
FOR THE REHABILITATION OF CHRONIC URBANITES Master of Architecture Polytechnic University of Madrid. ETSAM Chair: Luis Fernández Galiano Year 2017-2018
An open program project on the village of Fuencarral, north of Madrid: A degraded and abandoned environment where it is proposed to recover the green roots with which the village was born, now engulfed by the city. On an urban scale, it is proposed to create an agricultural community based on the foundations of permaculture, which will welcome and “rehabilitate” all those coming from the city who seek their own green shoots. The intervention becomes a philosophy of life that brings together both new and old settlers in a constant process of construction. Are you ready to be part of it?

NOVA 314 Collaborating Architect MuĂąoz Miranda Architects S.L.P. International competition of ideas for the project of the new E.T.S. Building of the E.T.S. of Architecture and Building in the Campus of Alfonso XIII (U. of Cartagena) June 2017
The needs for a new headquarters for the new school of architecture in Cartagena leads to the remodelling of the old building on a tight budget. The intervention is resolved by cleaning the old infrastructure and superimposing a new prefabricated structure that collects the new rooms needed on the roof, generates the new interior façade in the courtyard and its covering, and manages to penetrate to the foundation to generate the new assembly hall. A minimal and risky intervention, but one that manages to put the values of a school with great potential into value with the minimum of gestures.

ARCHITECTURE FROM THE EDGE
The responsible dreams that began this document are not only transmuted into Architecture. The personal search for an inner response leads to the margins of it, and beyond. What is the function of Architecture and does it differ in any way from that of Art?
PATIO DE SOMBRAS Weekly publication since September 2016 ISSN: 2531-0143 Creator and writer
www.patiodesombras.com
Patio de Sombras was born as an adventure, launched in a personal way, but that has been gathering friends and colleagues in its journey. The approach was always to open up the world of architecture to the rest of the arts, to understand how the process of projection was not too far from the creation of a piece of music, a painting... or a novel. Little by little, these creators, architects, musicians, painters, sculptors... wanted to collaborate and show their own processes, personal, and that gave rise to the possibility of turning the web into a true platform, into a constant “CALL FOR PAPERS”, where debate, reflections and postulates are given rise to. Alberto Campo Baeza, Emilio Tuñón, Fernando Abellanas, María Langarita and Víctor Navarro are some of those who have been on the web in the form of short videos where they reflect on Art and Architecture, in just one year of the project’s life.
Most recent publications include
“The pussies they wanted to hide”
“The Architect’s Chest” A metaphorical look at the meaning of formwork in the construction process.
A journey through the meaning of the female nude in the world of painting.
“Empty and negative: Oteiza, the revolutionary artist”
The figure of Jorge de Oteiza and his moral implication beyond sculpture.
