Studio Profile.

ELA is an architectural design firm headquartered in Madrid, Spain with diversified services including architectural design, urban planning and interior design. Since the firm´s founding in 2010.

ELA´s mission is to deliver exceptional design ideas and solutions through the creative blending of human need, environmental stewardship, value creation, science and art, involved in a diverse portfolio including office, civic, cultural, healthcare, residential, academic, transportation, landscape and mixed-use projects.

ELA’s approach to utilizing digital tools and technologies, contemporary theory, innovative building practices and advancements in engineering solutions and environmental sustainability have afforded the practice a broad and powerful perspective on all aspects related to architectural building design and city planning

With each project the firm explores new ways to integrate an organizing idea with the programmatic and functional essence of a building.

Rather than imposing a style upon different sites and climates, or pursued irrespective of program, the unique character of a program and a site becomes the starting point for an architectural idea. While anchoring each work in its specific site and circumstance, ELA endeavors to obtain a deeper beginning in the experience of time, space, light and materials.

Design Philosophy.

Design

Interdisciplinary

ELA was founded on the belief that design has the power to transform our lives - in commerce, our culture or our communities. By gaining a holistic view of our clients’ vision, needs and context, and adding creativity and innovation, our work solves complex problems and transforms our clients’ businesses and missions, often helping to make them leaders in their fields. We believe that great design has the power to do this.

Today, our clients are facing an increasingly complex set of challenges resulting from transforming economic, social, technological and geo-cultural forces. Solutions to these problems require a shift in perspective and thinking. A traditional, one-dimensional approach can’t solve these challenges. Instead, they require a multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary approach that multiplies technology, tools and talents into a powerful force of change.

Culture, Technology and Society

Balance

The inspiration for ELA’s work comes from a gaining an understanding of the Client’s needs and goals informed by cultural, technological and social dimensions with both a local and global perspective. We are firmly committed to the belief that architecture can successfully achieve specific client and project goals while creating meaningful experiences to a large and diverse audience.

We seek a bridge position between Spanish tradition and the international situation. In local tradition we want a good construction project financing. From worldwide art interests us the vision of architecture as a process linked to production systems, methods of work, the commitment to new forms and systems, risk, architectural theory, prefabrication and standard systems, the sensitivity of the environmental issues.

Innovation

Environmental Design and Sustainability

ELA is consistently seeking cutting-edge materials, techniques and technologies for its projects as well as innovative approaches to issues concerning sustainability, the environment and the integration of technology with architecture. Our Research pursues innovation of materials, tools and processes to create a new generation of ideas. By digging deeper into research, we’re reaching higher to improve the performance of our buildings and the health of our environment, seeking improved quality in accelerated and integrated project delivery processes. So the same we’re using technology and tools to improve communication, collaboration and workflow.

We incorporate the latest methods and technologies to maximize occupant comfort while lowering longterm operating and maintenance costs, reducing consumption of non-renewable resources, and minimizing waste and negative environmental impacts during the construction process. In collaboration with our clients and expert consultants we carefully evaluate the unique attributes of each project to make informed choices to optimize the design by integrating the most suitable sustainable design strategies.

Metaphisical Box Fuerteventura, Spain.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

The project is based on very specific premises that meet certain programmatic and urban planning criteria. The fact of having a plot area that in its entirety occupies the program and refers to the little margin that you have for its volumetric intervention, makes the project a formal challenge at high altitude. To this end, different consecutive actions are established, where a thorough reading of urban planning and urban planning regulations is essential to get the most out of the volume.

Fuerteventura, Spain / 2018 Comunidad autónoma de Canarias ELA: edu lopez Architects 17.200 m2 17.460.000 euros Competition

The spatial intent focuses basically on how to build a piece of 60 x 50 meters of plant, based on the constitution of a ”empty” space of great presence linked to lightness, light and technology. For this, we will rely on the LINEAR FOLD resource, where different spatial events related to the functional program of the object in question and certain climatic considerations that are detailed below will be created. A linear fold that is enclosed in itself capturing a single volume with different perimeter openings (inclusions or exclusions). In this way, all the volume and the interior space captured is developed in relation to events of folds in the vertical plane and punctually in the horizontal.

Thus, the project drills and excavates the solid volume, producing gaps based on the structuring of projective spaces. Our interest is focused, therefore, on the management and analysis of these projective spatial articulations. These joints are created from three singular elements and marked in color that make the volume adapt to the formal needs.

This break in one of the facades allows us to break the monotony of a long facade like that of the project. Likewise, the other two elements serve as a link between the rest of the facades through the dematerialization of the corners in those facades that border on the most natural and least urban environment.

The attention of the new project is formally focused on the management, control, definition and perception of the resulting spaces that these operations entail.

Occupied by a bordering plot with perimeter accesses on three of its sides, the characteristics of the site and the program give it a certain independence from the rest of future and contiguous buildings, both in use, and in character, escaping from the peculiar image of offices.

The project is thus understood with that box with its own character and identity in which it operates with empty and full projected towards the interior that stresses the box, generating spaces of varying scale and quality, as the regulations and the surface leave.

Thus two of the main gaps, one of horizontal character and the other of vertical character, face in opposite facades to mark the accesses to the building. These accesses are evident by the gaps that are generated inside, well reflected in the external volume.

All the volumetric actions that have been raised have a direct implication in the interior program and its operation, as well as when it is increased in volume in the form of outgoing bodies, they serve to create offices or rooms of greater dimensions, when the operation is carried out. Inverse serves us as solar self-protection of the building to certain specific spaces. Nothing is left to chance, since there is a meticulous studio of the functional program and its climatic, environmental and technological qualities, to create the best position in the plant of the same and that has direct repercussions on the created volume.

Klanggehause Nuremberg, Germany.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

The new building does not pretend to adhere to the existing one in an implicit way, but rather the opposite. It pretends to have an own identity, but with a strong geometric relation between both. With this we establish a better urban environment where the accesses become more fluid towards the two buildings and share a much more sustainable urban environment adapted to the needs of the city.

PROJECT STRATEGIES

Nuremberg, Germany / 2018 Nuremberg Comunity ELA: edu lopez Architects 14.890 m2 19.240.600 euros Competition

We do not want a homologous building, nor repeat what already exists. The new concert hall must be a project with a strong and elegant personality. Its imprint, its urban position with respect to the existing building, its clear international projection, are reasons that must be evaluated to achieve a piece of strong temperament, clean, direct, but very intense.

The proposal is based on creating an architectural space with a series of architectural strategies that articulate the two elements, but which in turn are totally opposed. We seek to create an antithesis between the two buildings to create a dialogue between them and that in turn articulate the urban space in a fluid and versatile way. These project strategies are the following: 1.- Square volume - Oval volume: A volume with an oval shell shape is established, which includes the entire auditorium box to create an acoustic mattress to the outside and give a greater prominence to the main element of the architectural intervention.

2.- Compact - Fragmented: Creation of a project proposal in which it is intended to stop the robustness and solidity of the original project and create a lightweight, weightless and weightless element through the fragmentation of spaces 3.- Unitary - Multiple: The existing, gives the building a compactness and hermeticity, which is intended to shamelessly break with our performance, creating a proposal based on different sounding boxes that are inserted into the oval shell.

4.- An internal patio - several external patios: In front of the only existing patio, the strategy of subtracting said patio volumetrically to the solid capable of the building is established in order to create different spaces of contemplation 5.- Unilateral vision - Multilateral vision: Unlike the original building which closes inwards, we intend to create a building that opens outwards, creating different visions in all senses and denying the unilateral vision that the current building possesses.

6.- Horizontal - Vertical: It is bet on a dialogue between the two buildings of opposites in terms of section, where the verticality of the project is rewarded against horizontality, in order to leave as much urban space as possible.

+15.50 +14.20

7.- White and static - black and dynamic: Opposite to a purely white and striated element, we propose a black and smooth object which will irradiate the musical waves that are produced inside through veins and reflections on the surface of it.

960 Green Block Malaga, Spain.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

PROJECT STRATEGIES The 12 buildings have been developed based on certain planning strategies that meet the conditions of building, habitability, orientation, accessibility and climate development.

1.- We chose to develop only three types of units depending on the core of communications oriented south or north. This determination to create only three well-known typologies of the sociological character of the city. More and more people live as a couple, or alone because of the demographic and economic situation of the country, so we discard homes that exceed three bedrooms.

Malaga, Spain / 2017 Gerencia municipal de urbanismo de Málaga ELA: edu lopez Architects 93.900 m2 98.277.600 euros Competition

2.- We create through-houses, with double orientation for optimal natural ventilation.

The houses are organized in such a way that favors this ventilation, eliminating any interruption of partitions. It is intended a totally direct ventilation between the two facades of the houses. Likewise having two orientations, guarantees us a minimum of adequate lighting inside the same as all the blocks, will have a direct lighting of the sun on its main facade and indirect lighting on its ”secondary” 3.- The organization of the blocks is based on sharing a core of communication every two houses per floor. What we achieve, is the elimination of community corridors that can serve as residual circulatory spaces. With this action we make that the space that gives access to the houses is less than the corridor and use it for the useful surface of the houses. On the other hand, the ground floor of houses is completely liberated, creating a permeability in this plant so that the landscaped areas enter and form a “whole” together with the urban situation. Not creating homes on the ground floor, is not only due to a need for permeability or sponge, but also refers to citizen security. To this we mean that houses located on the ground floor, demand a certain social insecurity, numerous noises, elimination of privacy and lighting since it is the area of the block where less natural lighting access.

4. The distribution of housing is characterized by two elements: The first is that double-guideline housing is created and the second is to create housing that is as functional as possible and that can lead to changes throughout the life of the neighbors that inhabit them. For this, the house is distributed in two well-defined clear areas. One is the daytime activity zone, which in all cases has the best orientation with the introduction of direct lighting in most solar hours.

It is a totally diaphanous space in which it has a kitchen integrated in the living room. The second one, is the zone called at night where the rooms are. all have a minimum width of 2.4 meters wide. These rooms have been placed in line with the façade less favorable for the incorporation of direct sunlight, being able to distribute this area according to the needs of the people who will inhabit it, that is to say we create a multifunctional and flexible space so that the citizens can create the width.

New KCP Extension Prague, Czech Republic Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

The KCP is a massive building, robust, with a large presence on the esplanade where it stands. The large amount of glass does not do it great favor to lose that robustness due to the color of the own carpentry and the glass.

LIDOJEM is the name received by this corpulent mass whose meaning resembles a great structure that can accommodate a mass of people, and it is here where lies the main idea of the project. We can not create an extension of a building without being stuck to it. They need each other and vice versa as if they were two beings that live in symbiosis.

We want a project in which from now, it can not perceive the great mass as a solitary entity. That is why a great structure is created that can accommodate a great mass of people, but changing the rules of the game. Our enlargement aims to be a light entity with buoyancy character. We want a symbiosis not a parasite. For this we disavow of the globalized and standardized architecture, of the modernity that does not have place.

The action is to create and give prominence to the facade of architecture, through a large deck which will safeguard all those activities for which it has been designed.

We create a cover that in truth, are three covers superimposed and overlapping one with the other, which is supported by a double glass skin semi mirrored which gives that character of weightlessness desired in contrast to the robustness of the KCP.

Prague, Czech Republic / 2017 KongresovĂŠ Cenrum Praha, A.S. ELA: edu lopez Architects 6.500 m2 11.200.000 euros Competition

Weightless, and lightness would be two adjectives that would well define this cover that although of simple idea owns a complex geometry, being this, the center of attention of the new extension. With this, we want to give a contrast to the robustness and massiveness of the existing building, creating a lightweight-massive counter-dialogue and endowing the whole of an ordered opposition.

For the urban and landscape action we have taken several considerations that we believe are primordial when it comes to regenerating the urban environment such as: .- Modification of the circulatory scheme and giving access to the complex of the congress center and surrounding neighborhoods eliminating the tortuous scheme of rolling circulation which is produced by the difference in height between the East and West of the main axis. We propose to divert the traffic only by a branch towards the East and another towards on the West, eliminating any type of connection to different high and suppressing the current automobile rolling. .- Creation of a more accessible and natural system for citizens and pedestrians through a boulevard endowed with two lanes in each direction, divided by a green area of considerable width that invites people to walk through it .- The consolidation of the Park as a structuring element of the urban reorganization in the environment and as a unique element of the city putting in value the second entrance to the enlargement through the landscape performance. We create elements in the form of large vegetable esplanades which result from the projection and continuity of the roof geometry.

Metro Heardquarter.

Madrid, Spain

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

We want to create a building that is recognized quickly and visual the brand identity of the company. For them we have relied on two premises. The first is the translation of the geometry of the garden and the whole plot to the vertical plane on the facades creating a vibration. The second premise is the historical recovery of the company, so that each floor has a different geometry, which corresponds geometrically with the first section to be built in each of the subway lines. So we can say that each plant is a return to the past of each subway line.

Madrid, Spain / 2016 Metro S.A. ELA: edu lopez Architects 21.500 m2 26.000.000 euros Competition

This configuration of plants, causes in the faรงade a zigzag so that a plant leaves from another one, breaking the scale of the building and blurring the number of plants. That zigzag is also reflected in the sections of the project, displayed as overlapping boxes where timely, they align to create incoming and outgoing spaces depending on the sunlight of the building.

With these guidelines a volume of glass is constructed, whose own form plus holes that are created in the interior, protected from direct sunlight climatic disadvantages..

An office should not become a simple arrangement of spaces, plants or boxes with closed and sealed applications. Program must satisfy two conditions: The first is the change of use throughout the history of the building, which is resolved through the proposed structural system and the second one is the interaction between people and building users, resolved through accessibility between spaces.

We want to look for an office landscape, the rugged structure more spacious and efficient, which can rely on a rigid core without intermediate pillars that would make the plant configuration. For each plant have a self-supporting box with a perimetrical structure, which rests on the immediately below. It would add a rigid concrete core having communication elevator, evacuation and services that make every plant operates independently as RACs, toilets, cleaning room... All this, is modulated in the longitudinal axis to 3.25 m creating lights of a maximum of 9.75 m which are resolved with hollow core slabs to minimize the weight of the building and avoid placing intermediate pillars. By having a diaphanous space, each plant allows us to get a changing settings or modify them as appropriate as shown in the diagrams.

Offices, meeting rooms, are not the protagonists of this project, but they are the communication space and the open office. It is becoming more evident in the office, the creation of interaction spaces between users. We wanted to strengthen this logic through a ramp considerably wide element which is zigzagging in section and is uniting the different plants, so that the gaps are created fosters the relationship between employees and departments of the office through visual they formed from side to side of the ramp.

By this we encourage cooperativeness between users and create rich interior spaces.

New Architecture School Aarhus, Finland

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

We want to create a space and not a building. We do this idea removing the functional program and allocating a quality to the space, which will be the true functions of the program. This quality named INTERDISCIPLINARITY, creates a new model of building and teaching method, where everything is learned by all and everyone learns everything. We want to create a RECIPROCITY between students, professors and citizens, where education will not defined only by the building users, but to anyone interested in it. Therefore, we know that one of our main start point is to create a space whose formalism will be directly proportional to the urban situation of Aarhus. The building does not become an independent element to the city as is not about of invent a new shape. the key is the discovery of what exists to unveil a new reality. It is a SYNTHETIC Project that share elements of their identity immediate context, which dominates the mass, color, flatness and the roof shape, but also identify him with the rest of the city.

Basically we have create a horizontal project, with just one store in order to prevent vertical communication elements like lifts and stairs and accessible to handicap people. It is a open space, where its 10000 square meters has only a few opaque walls. The vials are following railway lines of the plot, as if they were its extension to the city, which will hold the roof structure by way of relieving arches and they will stay in those areas that service the building, like storages, restrooms, facilities‌With it we get a minimum gross surface, so that we minimize the relationship between gross and net surface to as little as possible, leaving the greatest constructive effort to the surround element.

The skin surrounding the inner space is treated as a transition of the train remains existing in the plot and the city. So the building section is changing from a number of railway tunnels to become the city roofs as they approach to it. The expressive building charge, is concentrated in a pieces matrix who is modelling the skin. That skin acquires different intensities depending on the area that encompasses within it. These pieces are ceramic elements that are identified with the colors acquired the city itself.

It is a unitary element that is repeated and varying in depth and width to suit the needs of the lighting and interior temperature, likewise this pieces on its part not ceramic, are treated differently, creating some artificial lighting , foltovoltaicas cells, vegetation.

Reichstag Visitor Center.

Berlin, Germany.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

HERITAGE: A federal Parliament is the representation of the popular will. What is at stake is the image of the city, in terms of symbols and character. The appearance of the new building is a legacy of lost over time elements, which was made of the lost elements and spaces of the former Reichstag by Paul Wallot. The architecture that has been proposed for this building, is nothing more than the actions of that lost heritage, which can be regarded as a witness of past time.

Berlin, Germany / 2016 The German Bundestag & Federal Republic of Germany ELA: edu lopez Architects 4.500 m2 Not Available Competition

NATURAL CAPITAL: It is not a question to ask the Reichstag in the shadows. This should significantly in the urban environment and in the city in which he brings his power with simplicity and clarity to express, stand out.

We want to make him neither crazy with our activity, even traumatizing, but adapt it most and admire him from afar. But this is nothing more than an initial condition; the introduction of any contemporary architecture in one place, such as the Tiergarten Park, will not be considered fully completed, provided that it does not contribute to revalue its surroundings and does not succeed in using their immediate environment and by the specific implantation of the new building, to upgrade itself.

TRANSITION: It creates an urban condition that changes the relationship to the park, where it turns into a gate. Here this need is exploited to create, in the transition to said Park, a sign of modernity: an information meeting place, educational, signaling, communication point and a worthy access for disabled people. This information point manages the Reichstag makes the park as its own, using a both physical as well as visual connection.

With these two conditions: HISTORICAL HERITAGE AND NATURAL ADAPTABILITY, we create a proposal of a gentle and natural character, in which the various places are protected using a metal blade, as this would be the protector of the parliament, in which recorded the citizens receive, be heard and protected..

RECOVERY: The first condition is in a rigorous analysis of the lost spaces of the Reichstag by Wallot, compared to the redesign of Norman Foster. These spaces we win again and created simultaneously several containers with contents that are rigorously implanted into the project, and have the same geometrical proportions as the original spaces. Those hermetic container assume gradually different hues, within a range of warm colors, from yellow to red; So colors we bring in connection with the national flag.

ADAPTABILITY: The arrangement of the container in floors derives from the second condition, the natural adaptability, from. These containers are gradually placed in the plot to make the greatest possible number of large native trees untouched. Thus, the containers are gradually inserted into the natural context and adapted it, thus a more expressive framework.

Bahaus Museum.

Dessau, Germany.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

Prevailing ideas on the formal aspects. Leave the final decision as mere support. Working out of time and fashions. It seems that is appropriate to design an art museum. The concept is the work itself.

The architecture is the visualization of a building process. Generates forms. At the end there will be objects. But their purpose is different: meet outcomes (response to a program, being the image of the culture of our time, dialogue with society, allowing the public, adapt to some environmental commitments, ...). The important thing is to design the process to optimize these ingredients against an idea. Is a process concept.

There are not an unambiguous and stable relationship between form and function. Today we understand, in architecture, that any function can fit in any form. We are able to function optimally any space. Generic spaces triumph over the multipurpose spaces.

No problem to use any portion of the form.

The museum displays as fragments developed from the most representative works of the three periods of the Bauhaus and the spatial organization comes from pieces drawn from the paintings of Lazar Lisitski for non exhibition program and Vasil Kandinski for the exhibition program. As facade we use fragments and generic abstractions of tapestries Anni Albers and as a sculptural element we use the work of Walter Gropius. Thus, we obtain a museum that collects the pragmatic essence of all the Bauhaus era, not only in the field of architecture. We used the mainstream as painting, sculpture (furniture) and tapestries, all linked by creating a building, which belongs only to the Bauhaus.

Three distinct spaces shown on the architectural ensemble: the first floor and mezzanine where the program that runs the museum and general services are developed, a second area of more organic way in which results in the permanent exhibition and a third space that is inserted to the second where the temporary exhibition takes place. These three spaces are publicly communicate using an element that gives scale to the whole and unified. In this element a ladder, runs through all levels, leaving a vacuum that occupies the entire height of the building.

We see the importance of place in the project. It is not a simple urban environment, the mere presence of the tram and its precise location, makes us set pieces so that the environmental impact is minimized. For this reason the project is inserted between the trees without the need to remove any tree. Only a tree is removed due to deterioration. We want a natural element inserted into a lined by a layer of grass, which takes a picture of Kandinsky piece.

Guggenheim Museum.

Helsinki, Finalnd

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

Mistrusting the supposed efficiency and flexibility of the neutral and universal container so often used nowadays, we devised a building closely linked to a place and to a faraway memory. A building in wich each space in configured individually, in a time that is subject to transforming itself.

This project arose in response to the special features of the site´s location. On the one hand, the need to relate to the urban fabric which is growing towards the hinterland, and on the other, the need to preserve the expressive tones of the natural landscape setting. The project is a result of the dialectical, sober but powerful reflection on the artifice of urban life and the naturalness of organics. It projects its urban face towards the city, with clean, orderly elevations which build the block to overlook the internal streets, while on the sea-facing side, it discovers its specific condition in a spatial search that strives to interpret the spaces and configurations provided by the landscape and the geography.

Helsinki, Finalnd / 2014 Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation.

ELA: edu lopez Architects 12.000 m2 40.000.000 euros Competition

The project is moulded on the bay side with ample convex surfaces that weave powerful relations with the surrounding natural landscape.

It is set like a sail facing in the sea, shaped to match the retreating coastline it overlooks and striving to open towards the horizon.

The building´s off-centre position on the allotment allows us to shape a tier that is bounded by a ramp, also providing a theatrical entrance to the building, generating a large public space that overlooks the sea.

The project acquired a more urban and less natural meaning in the city side, where the program is located at the binding of exposure and related services. The South Harbour of Helsinky has always had a history linked to society and all people who landed on it. Therefore this facade is created from pieces of keel boats piled up on each other, to keep the social memory and remember your important social history.

National Gallery.

Budapest, Hungry

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

For the concept of this museum, we asked ourselves whether we were capable of building something while maintaining the utmost respect for the natural surroundings, avoiding speaking about sustainability, alternative energy or ecology as a veneer for modernity and political correctness.

Perhaps it was ultimately a question of making the most of the qualities of the given natural environment and having a minimum impact on them. We thought that a good way to start might be to adapt the volumetric line of the building to existing forest, leaving the plantation to choose the way it would be experienced. As the starting point for this process, we identified the clusters of trees that work together in the forest while we dared to call everything that lies outside them the anti-forest or a construction-susceptible void. We generated a flat geometry on top of this void to avoid the trunks and take the heights from the existing ground level and the slopes of the roof planes permitted by the by-laws. This operation appeared to be an immensely complex part of the process, and forced us to do numerous tests until we arrived at the solution that met all the parameters at every point of the final volumetrics. What appeared was a non-Cartesian geometry with a faceted volume that adapted to the topographic conditions and the planning requirements, inciting us to resolve the brief for this project in an exciting space. The geometry is what will define and discover the ways of experiencing the spaces and their relationships with the outside landscape, a surprising, fruitful relationship between a forest and strict regulations.

The building is generated by two direct decisions that correspond to two specific problems. First search for museum landscape, the most spacious resistant structure that can sustain as little as possible in the field to save the plant areas and do the least possible damage to the ground. For this poses a major structural foundation upon which the building is support from various domes sizes and depths to be in the field saving large spans.

Second, to build a metal volume, whose shape and geometry protect itself from direct weather problems or passively take when conditions are possible.

The last decision properly refers to the resulting geometry of the building, obtained from analysis of the landscape of the land where the building will save dodging trees for protection.

Once inside this fabulous landscape, we want to make the most of its features and open up to the maximum influence of its geometric, light and spatial conditions. From this perspective, the envelopment of the museum has gradually transformed its glass and metal skins according to the proximity of the trees, their ability to provide shade, their presence and the type of program in each specialized finger. So in order to bring all the rooms into direct, intimate contact with the exterior, the skins that define the broken volume have etched transparencies, opacities or screenprints with differing densities on its components, the influence of the forest on this strange object that has invaded the tranquility of its territory.

Culture city of Taichung.

Taichung, Taiwan.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

We have proposed a building consisting of different elements overlap. These items usually collected from a library and a museum of Chinese Art: Chinese writing. Therefore we choose the most significant Chinese characters and turn them into program. Each receives a specific program and, in a way, self. Basicly, each of the pieces hosts one of the programs stablished in the regulations of the competition. Outside are presented with a partial individuality, a special treatment of the same material whole. Inside, its size, proportion and arrangement of hits meets this programmatic autonomy.

But to overlap each other begin to function as a coordinated, as a library and a museum optimal and operational.

Taichung city, Taipei / 2013 Taichung city Govemment ELA: edu lopez Architects 62.700 m2 62.000.000 euros Competition

The synthesized fragments of chinise leters. The shapes of geometry and surface associated to a specific use. The programs are refined and systematic ways to combine coordinated uses.

Spaces are very varied. The promenades are flexible. Connections let reorganize the space and circulation. The pieces are connected spatially, generating controlled lightyards and drilings. There are other rooms with artificial light to conserve specific works of art.

Section reveals a building designed as a collection of oflat objects that are mixing each other. Each level and position chosen for each application is designed specifically

The downstairs lobby therefore becomes an extension of the street in the library and museum, where, under cover, will control access to different uses. Everything is accessible from there. Reading rooms, halls and cultural outreach, support classes, children’s library, newspapers, press, loan ... A square which include exhibition spaces and serves as a museum-explanatory. Everything is convenient and easy. Everything is public.

Our proposal tends to get further from those types. We want to think of other two points of view: the site, and the distribution of books. In spite, we were really keen on reducing the visible volume of the building.

It’s also our statement to put forward an internal space according to this shrinking or minimization. We aren’t proposing a huge reading space where knowledges gather. That doesn’t exist anymore in our knowledge. There are no unique spaces.

So similarity and difference, order and flexibility, variations and restrictions all become and abstract approach to the world of culture, but also to the material, concrete world of architecture, identifying themselves.

But this idea can only take the form of a fashion… correctly resolving the issues related to function, construction, structure, energy, traffic, security, the urban surroundings, the environment in harmony with the city…

This proposal arises from two considerations; in the first place, understanding the importance of the facade as a foreground and background to the library site and the secondly, taking up the radical change to the direct link between the ”green belt” and the surrounding area. To resolve that, we try to merge the library volume with the buildings next it. and we create a movement in the facade, where the trees of the ”green belt” carved the facade vertically, creating a game of subsidence and outgoing. One of the most powerful, is that the building conforms to all existing trees, without demolishing any existing green area, adapting to the geometry that is between those green masses.

One of the main ideas of the project is to create lighting courtyards inside the project. These light wells are oriented according to the inclinations and altitudes more unfavorable winter solstice, with the aim of introducing the lighting in the most unfavorable days. These lighting courtyards are open and intersect each other creating voids. They are also organizing elements of the stations in both plan and section, reflecting themselves in the facade.

Reshuffle Puerta del Sol. Madrid, Spain.

Place / Date: Client: Architect: Surface: Cost: Stage:

Puerta del Sol we have always known as an open space, with various branches that come together, being a tourist epicenter. But that post currently does not have a character, a character that needs to be established functionality.

Our proposal seeks to eliminate this absolutism creating a unique element that meets all the needs of the square, completely eliminating, lampposts, benches, bollards, fountains .... Our element is a large urban object that due to their section and forms encompasses lighting element separation, vegetation, elements break .... Our attempts to recall element geometries and flow leading but not dictated by human hands but by the free movement of people.

The precise choice of the square brings cultural, social and natural life of Madrid introducing a motion in the place. People, living beings are fluids that are distributed on the open spaces reaching the farthest possible limits. We are fluids that fill every effort drawing curves. Distances and shorter paths between public places are not straight lines but sinuous curves. A cloud, a cover or a simple piece of cloth, perched in a place creates a public space. This part covers loom low if the program needed for the public space work giving the necessary services to citizens and tourists.

This piece is required to generate a place of concentration of the urban and unifying public. That cover recreates a chaotic and empty space we expected to have. At the same time it becomes public terrace that allows you to see the square from above and from within, immersed in the plot and not the distance.

To accentuate the emergency building of the terrain, it proposes a landscape planning from prismatic parts rotated in three dimensions to be intersecting each other to reflect the erosion and rupture of the building ground to emerge. Also the building is about two meters above the rising main dimension to emphasize its importance and leave at a lower level parking.

The building consists of three main modules: the first module which encompasses the areas of entertainment, such as the planetarium film or exhibition area and service areas, the second module, which corresponds to the simulation area and the third includes areas teaching. These three parts come together if you enter through cracks and lighting space, which we establish the formal and spatial relationship between the parties.

The project is based on two premises. A formal or other functional.

Formal development of the project is based on the colonization of the land from certain movements of climbing. With one foot support can differentiate five body movements to go catch a prey. This five movements of the body joined together. Once overlapping obtain the intersection points of lines and project geometrizing thus setting diagonals which will help us to fit the building program. Assign the program to parts which are interrelated with each other..

Sofia, Bulgary / 2012 Walltopia Ltd. ELA: edu lopez Architects 8.000 m2 7.000.000 euros Competition

We establish two main facades. One that gives the main path to obtain a elevation more urban and other facade with more games large volumes creating a dialogue with the garden designed. The result is a complex building geometry but apparently easy structural solution, based on parts to be supported each other.

Functionally, the building solves dividing the program into two parts. A first part stay the program is not intended for use in sports, like offices, and the other part is the own sport and entertainment program. The offices are collected as a high spine that is inserted into the building. The sports areas are established all concentrating on a big box. This box houses the main area of climbing, so that the remaining spaces intersecting in it creating a visual and physical connection between the spaces with this. All spaces (multifunction, roof bar, spa, fitness, hall, funtopia ... look to the box and at all times you can see what goes into it.

Such spaces are stacked according to the rules set forth above, both functionally and formally so that within the large box are created different climbing terraces of different heights to accommodate those more specific climbing areas such as boulders, roofs, caves, But never lose the visual relationship of great climbing space.

We do not want to place elements in soils and ground spread.

Nor do we want different languages.Everything has to be read in the same language as well as built in unbuilt. Paving, pergolas, urban elements, buildings.... everything must be read under a same premises and create a coherent whole with the environment.

We propose an urban planning based on the twin of the different movements when climbing. This twin gives generic lines and intersections between them, which geometrize through diagonal triangulations. The result is an array of triangles all but that link uneven surface harmony.

These triangles are linked with each other. The vertices are changed in height. The triangles are beveled or surfaces are created, all to create the different parts of garden. We propose a pergola that rises with height with the objective of uniting geometrically and visually different spaces proposed. In turn, this serves to create microclimates in the garden, with plants covering the pergola.

EXCLUSIVITY: The project acquires two houses by plants, which will intermingling between plants. Each type of housing has a different organization, depending on the needs. The same is created in the section where each house will have a different section in the floor. This has been cast for cnseguir that intersperse homes, leaving 30 different totalemnte homes because of their fit between them in section. This was the main challenge to the project. Normally in these residential buildings a certain number of houses are created, which are repeated in plant height and creating all the same housing ....... but and if not? For this reason we have proposed creating an apartment building with 6 types of homes get 30 different homes and thus the exclusivity of the building

HISTORICISM: The idea on which we have relied to make edifcio and organization plan, are traditional references Peru Machupichu as plant or striped colorful costumes typical. These reference is to used to make the rear facade through some recesses of glass and the side walls, that having created a very neutral front elevations and side based glass walls acquire a tonal range based ceramic pieces vitrified to achieve adequate housing for thermal inertia inside.
