MIAMI CINEMATHEQUE “the experience of projection�
The concept of the project is centered on the power of the cinematographic image and the experience of projection. Located on a corner of the city, the new Miami Cinemateque will speak to its citizens. It will provide the new headquarter for the Miami Film Festival as well as to all other cultural activities related to the cinema world. Its giant projection screens will make cinematography an urban experience. The facility will include classrooms for the New School of Cinematographic Art, coffee-library, art galleries and an indoor projection room for 200 people as well as capabilities for outdoor projection.
01
EcoSail Building
“a sustainable residential tower� Located in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, the EcoSail tower is part of a sustainable city. The site had no sense of direction, totally disconnected without any element of identity besides the mountains at 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 with the south giving public access to a water front park for residents to walk, meeting neighbors, do exercise or any other kind of urban activity that enrich the quality of life and strengthen the public domain. The place promotes walking, bicycling, skate boarding, etc., and rejects car use. 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 with sails coming from the ground all the way to the sky creating 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 providing active cross ventilation to cool the interior spaces.
02
MANGROVE BUILDING
“development of an intelligent facade� The aggressive changes in see level threatens Miami Beach Florida with a terrible projection of being 6’ under water by 2100. The proposed design tries to adapt the building to the upcoming events. Inspired by the mangrove adaptability to its harsh environment, the building will be prepared to protect and sustain live similarly to the way mangrove forests protect, sustain and creates a micro-environment suitable to smaller spices. A vital part of the project was the design of an intelligent facade as a secondary skin in order to constantly produce clean energy from solar and aeolic energy as well as activating passive cross ventilation to cool the interior spaces.

AIR PENETRATION AND HUMIDIFICATION PROCESS
Back to the Thames
“the addition of a pedestrian bridge across the Thames to London’s Southbank”
London’s Southbank 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 also to 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 cranes on top of Tower Pier that will provide spaces for social events while providing the opportunity to enjoy the city from the Thames. It would not only be a point to cross but a place to stay. 360 degree view for tourists Vertical circulation (elevator and stairs) Govermental office, Public Facilities (Bridge Management) Flexible spaces for temporary exhibitions to the public.

Approaching the Wall ”bridging the world“
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 border heavily secured by 24hrs military surveillance for 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 reflect the struggle from the past to the experience of crossing the bridge. Following the testimonies of the brave people that intended this feat the bridge is divided into three parts. The first is the covered entrance, dark and with the image of the imposing vertical towers as a background symbolizing the underground crossing tunnels made by the people of West Germany. 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. Finally, 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 new 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 sensation 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.

METROPIA
“An utopian city under the metro rail”
(Thesis project )
“The world is reflected in the body, and the 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 shape values, feelings, identity and ultimately culture. Cities in this case, are the major cultural center specially 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 there is no sense of citizenship and no centers that group people with similar or different interest in a natural urban way. Metropia proposes a free multisensory experience of the city were people meet under the Metrorail. Based on the experience of architecture as a multi-sensory experiment, Metropia tries to put human interaction as the 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 specific purpose but they could also go to watch people, to meet people, to experience the city with it sound, smell, light and shadow, where people could come together to develop their ideas, where accidental phenomenon could occur and where young people could be consistent with their time and strengthen their identity with the 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 “

METROPIA
“An utopian city under the metro rail” Public spaces should be the physical manifestation of human values. Metropia tries to encourage that humanism where there is no difference between outside and inside, enclosed and open; it is only the way and order to intermingle people in a fare way where everybody is represented as a community but also individualism could be expressed. Also where the division between programs are erased, everything is part of everything and everybody is part of everybody in order to generated enough associations to affect our embodied experience and therefore strengthening the existential experience, the sense of being part of place, of a community, of a society, of a city, of a culture and at the same time enhancing the experience of self. A place which brings people together creating an environment for human interaction, for the exchange and development of ideas, a place that react to the exiting condition becoming a catalyst of continuous change and evolution. But most importantly, a place where users have total control of the place rather than the city controlling or programing the daily life of its citizens; a place to influence, to educate and inspiring people.
In addition, Metropia provides an exciting ground for perce suspended erases our attachment to ground consequently exploiting t moving through space. Now every angle of the city moves. User experi under me, left side – right side, front – back and the product of the pro when moving through space. Moreover, to enhance this experience, intercalated to produce a dynamic environment minimizing the sense refers to this effect staying that “Homogenization of spaces weakens t imagination and wipes away the sense of place”.
The multisensory experiment of Metropia in the urban fabr memory and therefore a connection, an attachment to the sense o Pallasma refers in his book “The eyes of the skin” when he wrote “Eve because it is unique, but partly because it has affected our bodies and g it in our personal memory” Metropia pretends to be a tool where the you influence their city; a place where they can find themselves, influence a

eption and theref. The feeling of being the three dimensionality experience of iment the existence of the above me – ojection of the user to those elements all spaces inside Metropia should be e of linear monotony. Juhani Pallasmaa the experience of being, paralyses the
ric presents an opportunity to develop of place and the city; something that ery place that we remembered, partly generated enough associations to hold ung generation express themselve and and get inspired.
