Residence in “Rolex Learning Center (SANAA)� project type: student work P3 (prof. Almudena Ribot) program: residence for 1000 students location: Lausanne (Switzerland) completion: 05.2011 The goal of the project is to study how you can renovate an existing building, the Rolex Learning Center. The program has a residence hall for 1000 students. The proposal put forward plans to use each module window to house two students in two single rooms.

200 Houses in Vegaviana project type: student work P2 (prof. Galiano) program: colective houses location: Vegaviana (Cáceres, Spain) completion: 10.2010
The project is located in Vegaviana, a village settlement located in the province of Cáceres. Northwest of Vegaviana, the Árrago river creates a fully immersed space in nature. This place was chosen for settlement. It seeks to merge with the Extremadura ´s landscape without loosing the connection with the people of Vegaviana . The proposal is based on a set of properties that are grouped into three different horizontal blocks describing random movements. The position of each horizontal block is designed so that there is no interference between views, which in return, allows everybody to enjoy the surrounding views of nature.

Urban Hills in Tirso de Molina project type: student work P3 (prof. Almudena Ribot) program: urban design location: Tirso de Molina (Madrid, Spain) completion: 03.2011
The intervention is to create a new topography in Tirso de Molina which generates a new vision of public space and giving it new features, the other factor are the mirror covers that reflect all that is happening behind. To build the topography it use recycled waste for make the different high of the hills that later would cover with a mesh for depositing the compost and vegetation.
The value of shelter is reinterpreted by the adjectives that can be attributed to its own definition. It becomes a coarse, compact piece, that turns completely inside itself without giving any clue about what it is happening in the interior. The interior aims to establish relationships between programs in the same manner that would occur in a cave.

“There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit there of he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.(...) Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. When you think it fled, it may have but become transfigured into some still subtler form.� _Herman Melville, Moby Dick (1851)
Zoogling project type: Design Bussines and T-shirt development location: www.zoogling.com Founders: Jaime Castilla, Alberto Cuartero, Natalia Vime.
Zoogling is more than a name, it is an attitude that is rooted in the view of the society as a predesigned jungle. We are all prisoners and Zoogling tries to take out your inner animal. Our goal is to mix, combine, transform, cut, paste, change, draw, rethink the reality with the wild universe of nature.
