I. FINAL PROJECT Raos Residual Master thesis ETSAM Madrid 2019-2020 Mentor: Juan Carlos Arnuncio
Ever since the days of the industrial revolution, the south access to the city of Santander has been the most polluted spot in the region. The water and the air quality preservation are the main drivers of this project. Three pollution-cleaner structures constitute the project‘s framework. One for the estuary water, another for the polluted air, and one last structure for the rainwater collection. 6

Mirada a Vallecas
Project/Atelier II ETSAM Madrid 2014 Mentor: Alberto Pieltain Almodovar’s Hill rises over the town of Vicalvaro, located in Madrid’s periphery. The new viewpoint emerges from the top of the hill. Visitors will enjoy the panoramic views of Madrid’s skyline while floating above the nature. It also becomes a reference in the distance, giving the hill a new identity.

Factum-elements Project/Atelier VIII ETSAM Madrid 2018 Mentor: Federico Soriano
Factum Elements is a temporary building system made for research and archeological field work in Kalah-Koreysh, Dagestan, Rusia. The two main challenges of the project were the difficult acces to the place and the willingness of total preservation. Following this approach, it has a quick assembly, light achorage and entirely harnesses natural resources. Parametric architecture methods are used to obtain maximum efficiency and minimum impact. 26

4. MUSEUM
Delphi archeological museum Project/Atelier IV ETSAM Madrid 2015 Mentor: Alberto Campo Baeza
Located next to the ancient sanctuary of Delphi and creating a unique fusion of the history and nature of the place, this project aimed not only to bring the ruins and its environment back to life, but also to create something that was more than the sum of its parts. The challenge was to re-emphasise the ruins designing a museum that did not detract from the historical value of the sanctuary, containing the impressive statues and art pieces of the sacred place and creating a didactic tour. 30

São Paulo
Culture to stop“hygienization” policies Final thesis FAU Mackenzie São Paulo 2018-2019 Mentors: Javier Pioz Lizete Maria Rubano
Now deeply deteriorated, the neighbourhood of Campos Eliseos was once the first up-market district in São Paulo. It is multicultural, rich in traditions and architecture heritage. However, this heritage is endangered by the current urban policies that follow the path of demolition and hygienization, driving all the inhabitants out to the peripheric favelas. Moreover, I describe my participation with the MOSAICO collective developing a new alternative project for the neighbourhood. We engaged with the local community and aimed to find solutions to the residential and drug problems of the area. 34

Quartier Bauvan
Project/Atelier VII ENSAS Strasbourg 2017 Mentor: Jérôme Villemard The chosen area is a left over from the surrounding infrastructure expansion. Bauvan eco district continues the tendency of Strasbourg’s development to the East. Its mains drivers are: social inclusion, effective use of natural resources, and sustainable mobility. Five residential typologies, cooworking and market space conform the buildings. The space in between is concieved as a continous park.

CONTEST
2nd prize winner proposal
Fast Wood festival Sรกmano 2020
CASTRO Inspired by the ancient Cantabrian forts, the project adopts the circular shape and the conical roof. Its raised platform and the sloped roof create a welcoming space where you can enjoy nature and shelter from rain and wind. Designed to host recreational and meeting activities, it is a place to rest and develop group activities. https://www.instagram.com/fast_wood_fest/ 50
