AGRICULTURE RESEARCH CENTER BARACALDO, BILBAO MASTER THESIS. SPRING + FALL 2020 PROFESSOR J.C. ARNUNCIO ETSAM INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
Ur, in Basque means water. Bilbao has evolved thanks to the river, which allowed industry to develop and the city to thrive. Unfortunately, the industrialised factory spaces have been emptied and have become a border between the urban cores and the water. The plot used to have the most important factory of the region, the AHV, therefore the program explores a reindustrialization, by creating a new research and production agricultural centre. The proposal explores different volumetric compositions, inspired by Malevich’s suprematist paintings, and their interaction with the water, in order to solve the different connection problems of the area which were established after a previous analysis. The project becomes a nexus which connects the urban spaces with the river, both sides of the river and the industrial past with a green sustainable future.

PASSIVE THERMAL COMFORT STRATEGIES SUMMER
The outer skin of the facade blocks the sun’s rays to protect the building in summer from radiation. Crossed ventilation allows the control of humidity.
WINTER
The outer skin allows sun rays to enter in winter, creating a small greenhouse effect reducing the need of heating in the programmatic spaces. The technical installation plant insulates and prevents the transmission of heat through the lower part of the building.

STRUCTURE MODEL
CALCULUS METHODOLOGY First, the structural stability has been established by the construction of a working model. The materials, actions and coefficients to be applied have been established according to the current eurocodes, and a manual pre-dimensioning of the most
unfavorable elements of each family has been carried out. Finally, a modeling, final calculus and comporobation has been carried out using the program SAP2000, to check the predimensioned values and adjust them.

PROFESSORS RESIDENCE CIUDAD UNIVERSITARIA, MADRID SPRING 2019 ENRIQUE DELGADO AND SANTIAGO DE DIOS ETSAM INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
The project studies different needs of university professors, balancing both public and private life. The ground floor hosts the main public spaces, such as a garden, the cafeteria, a library, laundry room and multipurpose spaces. This is hold by a light set back steel structure which gives a feeling of lightness. The space is enclosed by a glass façade, relating exterior and interior. The housing units are elevated from the floor, creating the illusion of a heavy structure over the lightness of the public ground floor. The use of large GRC panels is proposed to cause this effect, in addition to allowing the opening of gaps in strategic places. The housing units consist of duplex facing south. The slopped roof allows the entry of sunlight in winter while protecting the interior in summer. Each unit has its own patio, giving the feeling of living in a private detached house while being part of a whole. The complex explores modulation, repetition and individuality withing the unity.

HIGH DENSITY URBAN HOUSING FORNEBU, OSLO FALL 2017 SISSIL GROMHOLT AND MORIZ GROBA AHO GROUP + INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
The project is located inside the inner ring, between the new urban Street and the future Fornebu development area. The first stage after the general group masterplanning process consisted in generating the shapes of the future buildings according to the solar envelope, connections and further solar and radiation analysis. Within the plot we can differentiate two types of public spaces. Each block has an inner semiprivate courtyard. The blocks open to a more public green space. A tower is placed in the smaller plot, which will be a landmark within Fornebu and will have great views and lighting. The tower is facing the urban street creating a square. The mixed uses are very important in the project for the future development of the area. The second stage was to develop the housing units. A module of 3,5m by 3,5m was stablished, generating different typologies according to size and lightning conditions. The dwellings have either 1 or 2 floors. The corridor faces the inner courtyard and it is has common spaces such as terraces.

In groups of 3 an analysis of the area was made in order to stablish a possible masterplan configuration. Connectivity, access to natural light and road hierarchy and axis were taken into consideration. Different densities were stablished in relation of their position within the area. The proposal generates a main urban street while respecting the projects already existing. A class wood model was made which would be the key model for the rest of the studio.
Each person was assigned with a different plot and with a maximum shape determined by a solar envelope. Using Rhino and ladybug, different explorations were taken into consideration in order to maximise light into the units. Public spaces were also studied in order to achieve maximum level of comfort. Models were made using 3D printers to materialise each different proposal.
The chosen configuration consists of 4 housing blocks and a small mall and a tower, which becomes a landmark within Fornebu. Jane Jacobs book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, inspired the public spaces distribution. Office spaces and shopping areas have been designated, keeping the area in use throughout the day. Each block has common private spaces and faces an interior courtyard, a public area for the city.
The proposal explores the different possibilities and combinations of a modular house. The different units encourage different forms of living, allowing, enriching the diversity of the comunity. Each unit has access to a balcony space and are facing two directions. Common spaces have been designated in order to encourage communal life develope a cohesive neirbourghood.

THE PROPOSAL CREATES NEW PUBLIC SPACES FOR THE CITY HIGH DENSITY URBAN LIVING There has been an increasing demand of housing in Oslo and the areas surrounding it. Fornebu could be the new development hub, that can help fix the housing crisis in the city. The region attracts people from all over the world, where everyone has a different way of living and interacting. Here there is room for everybody. Common public spaces are found both outdoors and withing the block, allowing the interaction of their inhabitants.
Standard duplex unit (120 sqm)
The building follows a module of 3,5m by 10m depth (7m when there is the corridor). There are different typologies that have been combined to allow diversity throughout the block. The design principle for the units was that all units have access to a balcony or terrace and windows facing two different directions, allowing cross ventilation and access to sunlight. On the bigger units a small rental studio is proposed. The introduction of duplexes allows more combinatory when solving the stepping shape of the block and reduces the number of corridors.

THE METROPOLITAN FACADE LIVING IN THE CITY
OSLO SPRING 2018 NEVEN MIKAC FUCHS + PETER ST JOHN AHO INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
We had to design an apartment building of medium scale in the centre of Oslo, with another use on the ground floor. The site is in one of the most dense and consolidated areas of the city, in Torggata 1, right in front of the Oslo Cathedral. The proposal seeks its own identity while integrating within the city and dialoguing with the surroundings. The building relates with the neighbour buildings height, just to raise towards the corner in order to create a focal point and stablish a parallel with the Cathedral. Due to the nature of the brief, big luxury apartments were developed. The project is about how the character of a city is made by the quality of its buildings, especially the facades within a dense city street. How facades in the city give a charge to the space in front of them and make public metropolitan space. And how an interesting city façade is designed with priorities both from the outside and the inside.

REVISITING THE COUNTRYSIDE HORCAJUELO DE LA SIERRA, MADRID FALL 2018 ÁNGEL BORREGO AND JUAN HERREROS ETSAM INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
There has been a rapid deterioration of the interior of the Iberian Peninsula due to the rapid lost of population. The project analyses one of this villages, Horcajuelo de la Sierra. Those interior productive spaces had small villages with stone buildings and wooden doors. Its popular architecture is strongly influenced by tradition, climate and geography. The village has been losing population for the last 60 years and many constructions are now ruined. Village-lab proposes a integral intervention, changing the pavement and developing a path throughout the village, where some of the decaying buildings would be restored and reused as art galleries and working spaces, revitalizing the village with a bright new future ahead.
VILLAGE-LAB 33
The first part of the project focused on mapping and analysing the village. The analysis focuses in empty - full spaces, abandoned – used houses, circulation, visuals, materiality, typologies, construction and the relation with the adjacent villages and the surroundings. An archetype of the “traditional” house was created. The proposal takes into consideration all the previous analysis. Six abandoned plots were picked. They all had common features, they were all old decaying constructions with irregular plots, and they were visually connected, thus allowing the creation of a path withing the village that would act as the main axis and the houses as happenings where exhibitions and activities can take place. The path was marked using a different pavement, a stream of water would run from the church square to the new square, introducing visitors to Horcajuelo. The project explores the creation of a versatile language that would allow the intervention in any of the plots. Therefore, a modular wooden structure is proposed. The façade is kept, the openings are reinforced by new metallic frames, that allow light into the interior. The enclosed spaces offset from the façade and rising over it.

REHABILITATING THE CASTILLA CHANNEL CALAHORRA DE RIBAS, PALENCIA SPRING 2019 ENRIQUE DE TERESA ETSAM GROUP + INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
The Castilla Channel, inspired by the French infrastructures, was the most important civil engineering project of the Spanish Age of Enlightenment. It was designed to connect the productive inner areas of Castilla with the coast in the north. Unfortunately, due to the development of the railway it was never finished and now has been forgotten. The first stage of the project was to analyse by groups several locations related to the channel and redraw the actual state of each building. The second stage was developed individually. A global intervention was designed, where a new Interpretation Centre would be designed. The program includes a visitor center, exhibitions rooms, classrooms and educational spaces and a residence. A path connects all the different buildings, restoring the historical ones and adding a new one at the end of the course. An intervention to remember and value what was the most important infraestructure of the century.

During the course, the main themes that have dominated architectural production in Norway were investigated. We researched the relationship between Norwegian architecture and other cultural fields with the aim of highlighting how Norway has conveyed and invented its national identity through buildings. Villa Norrköping was the case study analysed as the framework to discover how Norway’s built environment has dealt with questions of style, influence and institutional organisation. Background and historical research, redrawing the house and different analysis were done in order to reach this purpose.

LAWRENCE HALPRIN AN ANALYSIS OF HIS WORKS PUBLICATION FALL 2019 ALBERTO SANZ HERNANDO ETSAM INDIVIDUAL PROJECT LINK: http://oa.upm.es/57916/1/TFG_20_Garcia_Santiago_Irene%20%20.pdf
This work is presented as an approximation from the composition and landscape perspective to the work of Lawrence Halprin, pioneering American landscape architect in garden design in the second half of the twentieth century. The aim of this thesis is to find the common characteristics or the compositional invariants present throughout his work. Three works have been selected according to their respective scale: domestic, urban and territorial. The study addresses compositional and landscape issues. This work analyses central elements of Halprin’s work: the space, the relationship with nature, the promenades and the creation of scenes as well as the work process used by Halprin, the RSVP Cycles. Through this analysis, the unconventional design process that Halprin follows can be understood. It begins with a detailed study of the environment and the needs and desires of the user He obtains this data in the participatoryworkshops he develop. He aims to understand and enhance nature, distils its processes to their essentials and transports them to his designs. By doing so, he creates stunning landscape scenographies, through which we may experience the constantly evolving spaces and sceneries. Movement is the center piece of his projects. Movement occurs in the crossing between different spaces,and manifests itself through the choreography produced in the interaction between the users and the ongoing change in space over time. All these elements combined make Halprin’s projects a legacy of unique and rich works.
