Jorge de Jorge Jordán
I am interested in meaningful practice within the architectural field, beyond the neutrality and rigidity of common industry. With “meaningful”, I try to refer to an activity that has a clear and defined direction, reflecting on the wide range of aspects of the discipline. I believe in architecture as a complex mean for constructing a rational statement, be it critical or simply compliant with a specific set of values in which to believe.
During the last seven years, I have participated in a wide variety of projects, from multi-family housing for the private sector to urban transformations in the public sector. This has allowed me to develop the ability to adapt and learn quickly from the requirements imposed by a multiplicity of situations in International Environments.

First prize in an international competition. The new pedestrian bridge in Nanjing links the two banks of a secondary river with a span of 200 meters. The form defined by three intertwined paths is a balance between formal desire and structural logic. The process leading to the approval of the Feasibility Report by LDI required an immense effort to apply European standards in a traditional environment.
International competition of ten teams. The project required a series of conditions defined by rigid restrictions. The studio presented a project with a simple structure that would make the cores independent of the overall structural stability, allowing for flexibility and adaptability.

Since 2018 I have attended and organized professional interior and design shootings. Collaborated in aesthetic staging decisions and photographed several projects that have been published in international magazines.
The exercise demanded the construction of a new public building that combined a hospital, a nursery, an elderly house and social housing into one complex volume, replacing a former gas station amidst a complex urban set.
Oasis is a proposal for the partial transformation of the old industrial fabric in Viladecans, which nowadays defines a polarity and discontinuity between different parts. It combines large and small scale elements, towards a reinterpretation of the geography on which the city developed.
The project was to transform an industrial plot in the old Poble Nou district of Barcelona, replacing three large volumes with the construction of sixty public housing units. A tower rises, generating a frontal dialogue with the sea, while at the same time, formalizing its western blindside as a monumental axis of the nearby cemetery.
“A Fun Museum” is a natural history museum that combines the traditional tour offered by these institutions with the introduction of the superstar of amusement parks, the roller coaster. The form and spaces are defined by the frenetic path of a continuous movement that crosses and tensions architecture and defines movements at two different speeds.
