Hello, Hi!! Emilia Quesada wants to works with you! I have just ended my Architecture studies (2003 Plan) at HighSchool of Architecture of Granada University (Spain), with good qualifications and a high level of English. Now I am looking for a job. Architecture is my life and I can recognize it in each aspect of my daily life. I acquired experience in six months like architect student in practices. I was worked in Laura Garcia´s architecture studio, where I learned about edification and urbanism. I have commercial experience too, so I talk easily to everyone, I know to start a polite and implied conversation with a client. I like the taskwhich challenge me and require creativity. I am an organized and hard worker. I like to anticipate and reach to program aims. I am in constant learning and enlargement of my knowledge. For example, software from calculation of buildings structure to rendering, and innovative project publications and materials too. I learn quickly and I can assimilate, in a small period of time, the necessary matters to perform a specific assignment. I would like to find a job in which I can put into action all my skills and projective, creative, structural and constructive competences, to bring professional achievements as member of a teamwork or individually. I hope that I have raised your interest in me.

ACADEMIC WORKS
Graduation project. New Granada´s Institute of Forensic Medicine. (Spain)
Located between two realities: On the left side of the motorway, large current multi-family housing buildings and new corporate Campus University buildings. On the right side, the end of Granada city, a landscaped formed by small houses and protected green spaces. The project of the Institute of Forensic Medicine has been developing with Human being like main idea, not only as a study, even if it is more important how the user feels and lives in the building, in moments of rest, the interaction with the outside, develop the program proposed and beyond the study of death.  The program is organized by horizontal layers logic. Space compartments which allow flexibility adapted for every need. From more public, (social, dynamic and open) spaces to more controlled, (static, closed and silent) spaces. The porosity, thickness and formal treatment of their façades respond to the light and temperature control in each horizontal layer. The volumetric fragmentation of I.F.M., is from the dialogue of the functions of every space of each layer.And it has built by the arcaded estructure 6x8m.
Urban Gears. University canteens in Granada. (Spain)
Located between residential buildings of the seventies and eighties and a big open area formed by the University and the railway station, in the outskirts of historic centre of Granada. The proposed rehabilitation to the actual canteen, wants to enrich the neighborhood offering, firstly in the main level an amplied canteen with panoramic terrace.As well as, downstairs, groupwork spaces, study and WiFi area; completing the project with an informal cafeteria in the basement. The aim is to enhance the existing building, expanding its uses and its openhours to the student according with their daily needs. The surrounding exterior spaces intend to dilute the border in order to integrate our space on University Campus as better as possible, and redirect flows of people to join meeting points in different levels.
Set of kindergarten and Senior citizens daycenter. Armilla, Granada.(Spain)
Located in a residential area in Armilla, town only distances 5km from Granada. According to the biggining analysis, I could discover the following problems: 1. No identity neighborhood 2. Poor Urbanism. 3. Many open, green and pedestrian areas wihtuot function, desordered and no relation between them. With this analysis and the programs of needs, I decide to project a square to provide value and join this two opposite realities, allowing to enriche both of them. The main idea is THE YIN YANG CONCEPT. On the one hand, children go to the kindregarten to learn. They start the way to discover the World. On the other hand, senior citizens visit this center to talk about their lives, they have walked enough, they have a lot of experience. Now both of them share the present. The building is conceived, as floor plans to faรงade, to emphasize this idea. However, the structure is considered the same as both parts.
Rebuilding Green Space and Library. Zaidín, Granada. (Spain)
Firstly I analysed the housing estate around the localization of the building plot: Empty areas and continuities Direction of the streetways Sites are invaded by vehicles Polarity from main places to building site Empty and full areas (You can see this study in the next page) Finally I could come to the following conclusions: The proposition must meet the neighborhood need, a funtional green space. In addiction a building with this caracteristics has to bring a modern breeze. How can I make it possible? THE AGORA CONCEPT!! Agora means “main square”(Greek concept), where philosophes met to share their Knowledge. If we take that idea and adapt it to the present, the result is my project, the library is gone throught by the green space. In this way, on the 0 floor (square floor) the library has a cafeteria, bookshop and readingpoint in order to become a square and library on a whole. In the rest of the floors, the library is developed according to the organization chart that I have projected. The façades are built according to the study of sunbathing. The lattice of letters is more abundant in the south, to privide that the temperature rises in summer, and less concentrated in the north, to allow the sunlight in the winter.
