JORGE FABREGAT

Master in Architecture Degree Florida International University School of Architecture + The Arts

I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to introduce myself,

My name is Jorge Fabregat. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an Architect, who graduated with a Master in Architecture degree from Florida International University School of Architecture + The Arts. My working experience encompasses 10 years of a broad spectrum from Land Survey field to almost all areas in the architectural field. I have experience working on projects on every phase such as schematic design, preliminary design, design development, construction documents and construction administration. I started as a draftsman before graduated which gave me a strong technical base in computing drafting (Autocad-Revit) and a strong experience working in teams under the supervision of architects, engineers, project managers, principals and director of departments on a variety of projects and tasks. In addition, the years of education at the School of Architecture and my academic travels to London, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin and Tokyo has given me the opportunity to have a well rounded architectural education resulting in a vital force for my future career as a professional. Today, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the pursuit of being part a company where I can continue growing as a young architect. Therefore; I would like to express my deepest interest in working for a company I admire so much because of its design approach, philosophy, professional quality and engagement in the community; a practice that orbits around a concept I deeply believe in. Therefore, in my opinion, the challenges and professional exposure for young architects provided by this company has no comparison with any other company in the city of Miami. The contribution of this practice to the region through the experimentation on its pursuit to revitalize the great Florida Modern Architecture is something and deeply believe in as an architect and would love the be part of. To follow, you can find my resume which describes my experience and also a condensed portfolio of my academic work at Florida International University School of Architecture. It is my genuine interest to be part of this excellent company with such a great projection towards young architects.

I would like to thank you in advance for this opportunity and consideration.

Attentively,

Jorge Fabregat

EcoSail Building

â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sustainable residential towerâ&#x20AC;?

(4th year at FIU School of Architecture)

Located in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, the EcoSail tower is part of a sustainable city. The existing site had no sense of direction, totally disconnected without any element of identity besides the mountains on the north and the sea on the south. Therefore, the first strategy was to create a sense of direction and a sense of place. A new axial corridor will connect the north to the south giving public access to a water front park for residents to walk, meet neighbors, exercise and any other kind of urban activity that will enrich the quality of life and strengthen the public domain. The place promotes walking, bicycling, skate boarding, etc. It is a place designed exclusively for pedestrian use. On the other hand, the design of a four residence tower is inspired on a vision of racing sail boats from the sea becoming a new point of reference, identity, personality and a landmark on the place. Orientated to the sun, a technological structure in form of a sail was designed for clean energy production by installing photovoltaic panels on its surface where each panel will move vertically tracking the sun movement in order to maximize the perpendicularity against the sun. In addition, an exhaust turbine penetrates the core of the building extracting the hot air out of the units activating cross ventilation to cool the interior spaces.

Approaching the Wall ”bridging the world“

(Study abroad program London-Berlin)

access to video: https://youtu.be/A5UQr_9tg1A

The project consisted in the insertion of a pedestrian bridge crossing the existing Berlin Wall Memorial Park in Berlin, Germany. The site of the memorial park was one of the toughest crossing points for people pursuing their freedom from the West to East Berlin during the cold war era. The existing memorial park is the old “Strip of Death”, the space between the two walls heavily secured by 24hr military surveillance from the control towers authorized to shoot anybody who intended to cross it. The concept of the bridge design was inspired by all the documentaries, interviews and images from people who crossed the wall. The intension was to translate the past struggle of crossing the two walls into the experience of walking through this new bridge. Following the testimonies of the brave people that intended this mission, the bridge is divided into three stages; the first stage is the covered entrance, dark and with the image of the imposing vertical towers as background symbolizing the underground crossing tunnels made by the people from East Berlin. Second, the feeling of being completely unprotected walking towards the vertical towers symbolizing the adrenaline of the people caught in between walls by the surveillance towers. Third and final, the experience of arrival in between the two towers symbolizing the feeling of accomplishment; the reunion with family and the conquest of freedom. The new pedestrian bridge will not only be a point of crossing but also a memorial element added to the existing Berlin Wall Memorial Park. The bridge will prepare your senses to feel the experience of approaching the wall during the cold war era. The bridge is the introduction to the memorial; it is the hand to its historical memory. The sunken fountain is not the memorial at all. It is only history turned into a pedestal, an invitation to passersby who stand upon it to search for the memorial in their own heads. “For only there is the memorial to be found” Horst Hoheisel

Back to the Thames

“the addition of a pedestrian bridge across the Thames to London’s South bank”

London’s South bank is the new image of modern London. It is the result of a new development called “Bringing people back to the Thames” that started in 1970. Prior to this, the area was characterized by old warehouses and dirty wharfs with the magnificent sculptural shape of the old ship cranes from the times of the industrial revolution. This old ship cranes were the image of the Thames for a long time, like old soldiers guarding the river. Having this in mind, the proposed bridge connecting the north and south banks is a great opportunity to also connect the old and the new identity of the Thames. The project proposed the location of a tower inspired by the sculptural shape of the old cranes on top of the existing Tower Pier. At the same time, the new tower will provide space for social events while providing the opportunity to enjoy the city from the Thames. It will not only be a crossing point but a place to be and stay.

“The world is reflected in our body, and our body is projected onto the world. I experience myself in the city and the city exists through my embodied experience, they supplement each other; I dwell in the city and the city dwells in me” In other words, our unconscious perception of the world shapes values, feelings, identity and ultimately culture. Cities, in this case, are the major cultural centers of the world; especially those which design enhances human interaction such as Paris, New York, Barcelona, etc. Conversely, in a place like Miami it will be almost impossible that any social phenomenon can occur because the way the city is organized segregates so awkwardly its citizens that social interaction is almost zero. Therefore, the sense of citizenship is very weak with no centers that group people with similar interest in a natural urban way. For this reason, Metropia proposes a new and free multisensory experience of the city where people meet under the Metrorail. Based on the experience of architecture as a multi-sensory experiment, Metropia tries to put human interaction as its center, projecting them to the city and projecting the city to them. “It is like a dynamic street in the air” The idea is to maximize and celebrate the beauty of movement. People could go for entertainment or for any other specific purpose but more importantly they could also go to watch people, meet people, experience the city with its sound, smell, light and shadow. A place where people can come together to develop their ideas spontaneously so accidental phenomenons can occur and where young people can be consistent with their time and strengthen their identity with their city.

Public spaces should be the physical manifestation of human values. Metropia tries to encourage such idealism where the division between programs are erased, everything is part of everything and everybody is part of everybody in order to generate enough associations to affect our embodied experience and therefore strengthen the existential experience; the sense of being part of place, a community, a society, a city, a culture. A place which brings people together creating an environment for human interaction, for the exchange and development of ideas, a place that reacts to the exiting condition becoming a catalyst of continuous change and evolution. But most importantly, a place where users have total control rather than the city controlling or programing the daily life of its citizens; a place to influence, to educate and inspire people.

“The observer himself should play an active role in perceiving the world and have a creative part in developing his image”

Kevin Lynch

“ The image of a city ”

” Every city has its echoes which depend on the pattern and scale of its streets and the prevailing architectural styles and materials. The wide and open spaces of contemporary streets do not return sound, and in the interiors of today’s buildings echoes are absorbed and censored “

Juhani Pallasmaa

“ The eyes of the skin ”

In addition, Metropia provides an exciting ground for perception. The feeling of being suspended erases our attachment to the ground consequently exploiting the three dimensional experience of moving through space. Now every angle of the city moves. The dynamic environment would minimize the sense of linear monotony ; a concept that Juhani Pallasmaa describes it as “Homogenization of spaces weakens the experience of being, paralyses the imagination and wipes away the sense of place”.

“breaking the logic”

“ The human mind is so constructed that it cannot begin to understand the new until it has done everything in its power to relate to the old. “ Henri Bergson

The multisensory experiment of Metropia in the urban fabric presents an opportunity to develop memory and therefore a connection, an attachment to the sense of place and the city; something that Pallasma analyze it in his book “The eyes of the skin” when he wrote “Every place that we remembered, partly because it is unique, but partly because it has affected our bodies and generated enough associations to hold it in our personal memory”

METROPIA

“An utopian city under the metrorail” “Every place that we remembered, partly because it is unique, but partly because it has affected our bodies and generated enough associations to hold it in our personal memory”

Juhani Pallasmaa
