wave energy research centre Type: Energy, infrastructures and sustainability Date: 2019 Subject: Architecture master thesis - ETSAM Professors: Juan Carlos Arnuncio, Mónica Alberola and Rafael Pina Large oil industries can be found in Bilbao’s port getting obsolete by the shortage of oil sources along with a raising awareness of climate change. Within this context an efficient research centre of wave energy is proposed. It takes advantage of the exceptional situation of the port’s breakwater, penetrating 2 km offshore where depths reach 40 meters below sea level. A complex system of volumes is designed according to three aspects: Firstly the faraway situation, which only counts with the directional references of weather, sunlight, visual axis and the main wave approach direction. Secondly the scattered functional programme, creating a system of interconnected spaces, arranged in cultural dissemination, wave energy research, design of prototypes and

construction of wave energy devices. Finally the determination of enhancing the front image of the port, by creating a transition between the sea and the city. The scheme is carried out by a duality. On one hand the infrastructure, following the same constructive system as ports dikes, a set of concrete trihedrons are designed for protecting the architecture from wave collisions. On the other hand the architecture, which is formed by a combination of hinged spaces connected by walkways. The architecture is wrapped by a continuous waterproof membrane, interrupted by a few openings looking towards the sea. Moreover the interstice between the architecture and the infrastructure creates a changing space of interaction with the tide and the waves.

frpo internship Date: from January 2017 to July 2017 Office: Fernando Rodriguez & Pablo Oriol Architects - Madrid Job function: Architectural visualisations, competitions and technical drawings Projects developed: Juárez 204 Co - Working, UIT Offices Geneva, Opañel Housing, Puebla Housing, Unolab Industry and Elcano housing Throughout this full-time internship I had the chance to get involved in several projects that were developed at different stages. These stages went from the initial phase of designing through sketches and models until the complexity of constructive details. However working on 3d models and rendering images, followed by photo editing, was my specialisation within the studio. I acquired large knowledge in architecture thanks to the different scale and type of schemes which were carried out. Juárez 204 consisted of a hybrid parking building containing

spaces for co-working, public spaces, shops and restaurants located in Mexico. The project for the Offices for the UIT in Geneva arose for an international competition. Single family homes were developed while paying attention to every detail and their relation with the context. The small size of the studio helped to create an adequate working environment. Founded by Fernando Rodriguez and Pablo Oriol, FRPO had been selected for the Spanish Pavilion Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia 2016, and nominated for the Mies Van der Rohe Award 2015 among other awards.

malta internship Date: from September 2018 to January 2019 Office: MALTA Architecture - Miguel Fernรกndez-Galiano & Laia Cervellรณ Job function: Architectural visualisations, budgets and technical drawings Projects developed: Temporary events for Biothem and Netflix, interior refurbishment and preliminary housing designs Having worked at MALTA Studio as an intern has been an advantageous experience. My main role within the studio was to create architectural visualisations of interior spaces. These visualisations had the function of understanding the space rather than being a final image for the client. The various materials were assembled taking care of every detail. In addition I carried out constructive plans and architectural budgets. One of the main activities of the studio consisted of organising events for big companies like Netflix or Biotherm. The events required

spectacular spaces designed like a scenography while emphasising the identity of the brand. On the other hand interior remodelling was developed, using the colour and simple geometry as the principal designing tool. I had the opportunity to supervise the construction and learn from it. Lastly I started the main design of the web based on a very graphical and direct feature. MALTA is a small studio recently founded by the architects Miguel Fernรกndez-Galiano and Laia Cervellรณ.

urban dispersion Type: Mixed use & Nature Date: Autumn 2018 Subject: Architectural Design 8 - ETSAM Professors: Juan Herreros, Ă ngel Alonso, Lina Toro and Ă ngel Borrego Strategies for the sustainable dispersion of transmuted vernacular typologies over the rural territory. This project arose from the decadent urban qualities of current villages in Spain. These are conglomerate towns lacking a direct connection with the nature. They have countless empty urban spaces with no use in special and all covered by concrete. Living in these communities doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like living in a rural area at all. However these regions count with vast areas of uncharted nature. Enriching from this territory through the urban dispersion, while remaining completely respectful within it, becomes the main objective of this project. More than half of the buildings

are in this towns are abandoned and in ruins. By reusing the construction materials of these buildings, such as, stone and wood, and combined with the latest technologies a new urban network can be carried out. This network follows the structure of a grid standing out from the common of the nature. Numerous typologies have been designed creating a flexible series of urban objects that take up the landscape. These objects keep their original identity while adapting to the qualities of its territory which has been classified in four main atmospheres: the summit of the mountains, the forests, the meadows and the stream surroundings.

klosteret co-housing Type: Collective Housing Date: Spring 2018 Subject: Master Course of Urban and Rural houses - Bergen, Norway Professors: Joakim Skajaa, Cecilie Andersson and Philip Kvalbein The co-housing project is substantiated in four main ideas referring to the public space, the history, the context and the way of living. Piazza. The neighbourhood of Nordnes count with a very privilege public space however it is full with parking lots and non-importance roads, it counts with almost no public space for pedestrians. A solution to make the most of this public space is creating a piazza, a public space designed for pedestrians. The new housing proposes filling in the voids to enclose this public space. Therefore the scenography and the transition between public and private are important aspects of the project. Remaining history. The urban fabric of Nordnes has always count with a void due to the ruins of the monastery. Somehow this action remains the past and its importance along the past of time. Many tools can be used to remain the history of Munkeliv Monastery, since the way

of living, formal repercussions, materials or architectural composition. Vernacular housing. Old three storeys wooden houses are the main typology in the area giving an especial atmosphere to the site. Keeping some of these aspects is very important because they will strengthen the character of Nordnes. Most of the houses have been built in the XVIII SiĂ¨cle owning relevant cultural heritage. Transition. From public to collective. From collective to private. A big public activity is developed in the street and private spaces are necessary for a house, the gradually transition from this two poles is decisive so both can work. Furthermore the co-housing counts with plenty of collective spaces, which stand in between the public and the private, taking advantage of this transition.

political update Type: Mixed use - Collective housing Date: Autumn 2017 Subject: Architectural Design 7 - ETSAM Professors: Juan Herreros, Ángel Alonso, Lina Toro and Ángel Borrego The architectural complex of ‘Nuevos Ministerios’ started to be built around 1930’s, during the Second Spanish Republic, however the construction finished in 1942 right after Franco established the Fascist Regime. He had a special interest in completing this scheme due to the political and representative values the building could transmit. Therefore there is an indisputable link with the German and Italian fascist architecture of that moment. Despite of the fascist ideals this architecture counts with relevant values and tools that will be considered. The intervention in the complex is based on a political update, particularly, in a democratisation of the façade and in the transformation of the complex into a domestic system.

The democratisation of the façade. The biggest values of fascist architecture can be found on the façade because of its power to communicate and represent certain ideals. In this way the basis of the project consists of carrying out a transformation of the façade focusing on different aspects, such as, its complexity, its construction, its technology, its irony or its diversity. Collective housing system. The complex becomes a tremendous system of housing separating the different functions of a conventional house and spreading them out. Through the insertion of well-known buildings within the building the bathroom of the house becomes roman baths or the living room becomes a theme park.

layering house Type: Collective housing Date: Autumn 2016 Subject: Architectural Design 6 - ETSAM Professors: Álvaro Soto, Victoria Acebo, Paula Montoya and Luis Díaz Mauriño ‘Layering house’ is a residential building on the neighbourhood of Tetuán, Madrid. The social structure of this neighbourhood counts with a high percentage of one people apartments, most of this people belonging to the elderly. Social housing is a good option to face this problem. The main strategy is layering the roles of the house. Four different roles are identified and organised in four layers, with their own qualities, from the most public to the most privacy. The first two layers are completely open to the public and meet leisure and culture needs through a garden, bars, workshops, co-working and exhibition rooms. The third layer is close to the public but shared among the residents. It is dedicated to farm, cook and have a meal. The last layer is completely private and it is formed

by patio houses. In order to achieve sustainable architecture very special attention is given to solar energy, ecological farming and rainwater collection with a specific structure. The structure is distinct in every layer, from long spans trusses to concrete structures. Different materials are conceived on the façade to accomplish the different necessities in each space. The transition between layers is unique in each case using many ways of circulation such as escalators, spiral stairs, sledge and ramps. The interior of the houses are organised with mobile walls so they can increase and decrease its volume according to the needs. The building is thinner than the smallholding to guarantee that the natural light reach the interior and maximise the cross ventilation.

the pier students competition Type: Museum of the Ancient Nile Date: Autumn 2017 Award: Selected project Organiser: Arquideas The Nile River is interrupted in a certain point to create a meeting place for outsiders and locals. Due to the importance of the river as a waterway, the Museum of the Nile adopts the shape of a pier, receiving the great influx of people that navigates along the river. Furthermore, this volume placed on the same level of the water allows the visitors to experience the intense features of the Nile River. The museum unifies the three fundamental aspects of the local landscape: - Water, a great symbol of vitality, is capable of creating social organizations in its proximity. This is the level where the museum is carried out, where all the social interaction happens, along the river and all the culture and history which accompanies it. - Stone, massive matter, rock, the oldest construction material and its purpose is to crea-

te a long cover to protect from the shinning sun. The cover is open in some areas to allow the illumination get through the courtyards. - Vegetation, a light structure, is the third element of the Egyptian landscapes found it in oasis. It is the core of living beings. High humidity and lower temperatures appears thanks to the vegetation, creating a comfortable atmosphere. Plenty attention has been given to the distribution in order to achieve an open space, organized by service boxes. The circulation is lineal, so you start at the same point you end. There is a constant interaction with the river enjoying the views from both sides of the museum. The museum counts with several patios to guarantee that the natural light reach the interior and maximise the cross ventilation.

meeting point Type: Mixed use and Restoration Date: Autumn 2015 Subject: Architectural Design 4 - ETSAM Professors: Almudena Ribot, Javier García-Germán and Enrique Espinosa Meeting point is a mixed-use building in the Eibar’s city centre, the fourth most relevant city in the Basque country. The scheme takes advantage of one empty industrial buildings, transforming the structure in order to create double-height floors and renovating the façade. The building’s main strategy is to provide big spaces for entrepreneurs so they can build their own business inside the building. Different spaces can be designed for entrepreneurs in the building, from restaurants, bars, fairs to theatrical workshops and exhibition rooms. Facilities are provided to carry out the business such as storehouse, workshop, goods lift and offices. Responding directly to the street’s great influx, the building opens its ground floor, connecting the street with the patio and creating a public space. Gathering people in the ground

floor is a good way to publish how the building works and achieve neighbour participation. The former concrete structure is mixed with the new diagrid and both work together making a unit integrated with the surrounding buildings. The different materials on the façade are conceived to accomplish the distinct necessities in each space, using waterproof fabric envelope, smooth or full-height windows. Particular consideration has been given to the flexible double-height spaces as long as they are provided with technical floors. The interiors are organised with modular spaces and all of them are directly connected with the goods lift and the stairs which are located in the north façade. The main façade is orientated to the South to maximise the natural light and reduce energy use and cross ventilation are all along the building.
