URBAN DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE Campamento
Lead by José María Ezquiaga, Gemma Peribañez, Valentina Mion Team: Mehdi Gharibi Rodolfo de la Torre Juan José Sanchez-Aedo José Ignacio Valdez
1
Campamento neighborhood is located at the west of Madrid, representing the edge of the city. Low density housing and obsolete military insfrastructure characterize the area, as well as natural landscape with native vegetation. At south it is delimited by the A5 highway, while at north the border is difuse and unurbanized. The project occupies 70% of the total area, leaving 30% as non urban land in order to preserve the landscape. An accurate density is as well a key element on the approach, due the previous experiences of urban developments at the outskirts of Madrid, where the low density configurates empty and inactive streets. Design strategies rely on the continuation of the adjacent axis to integrate the fabrics, the transformation of the A5 into a boulevard, and the creation of an urban and natural axis that cross the project. Different block sizes and building heights are proposed to create a mixture of density.

1. Preserve 30% of the plot area as green and free space, giving value to the native landscape and reducing the urbanizable land. 2. Transform the A5 highway into a boulevard, with fast lanes at the center, and lower speed ones at the borders.
3. Generate a green corridor that connects the two green existing areas.
4. Generate an urban axis that connects two neighborhoods from north to south. 5. Work with adjacent’s preexistances and project its axis in order to merge the fabrics and create a fabric continuity.

6. Complement with transportation networks. A new metro station (line 10), a tramway in the north-south axis, and a closed-loop e-bus line are proposed to serve the new development in different mobility scales.
7. Separate hard and soft roads. Hard roads (black lines) are delimited in order to reduce the car use within the project. Hard roads are used each 400/500 meters, while soft roads cut them in perpendicular way.
8. A facilities network is also proposed in order to generate flows around cultural, educational and sports nodes, ensuring pedestrian activity and creatinf attraction poles.

CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNOLOGY Grenoble meets La Habana
Lead by Ignacio Fernandez Solla, David Rutter, Diego GarcíaSetién, Archie Campbell Team: Alejandro Maldonado Melpomeni Kiriaki Katharopoulu José Ignacio Valdez
11
Panache building was designed by Maison Francois Edouard and it is located in Grenoble, France. The original project was conceived to reduce thermal bridges and gain heat by radiation. High-insulated concrete bearing walls structure the 17 story building coated with copper sheets. But when Panache meets La Habana, different stategies must be used. Sun shade, cross ventilation and open spaces are needed in order to achieve thermal comfort in a hot and humid weather. This way, the building is undressed and the bearing walls are changed to pre-cast columns, adding deepness and oppenness to the plans, the conventional slabs change into hollow-core slabs and the upper terraces from concrete slabs into a CLT beams and slabs.

LOW-COST AND EMERGENCY HOUSING Bienvenido, Dominican Republic
Lead by Sonia Molina, Lucía Navarro Team: Virginia Cid María José Rodríguez de Vera Álvaro Pedrayes José Ignacio Valdez
19
Bienvenido is an informal urban development at the outskirts of Santo Domingo, in Dominican Republic. The self built development is beside the Haina river, inside the flooding area, and have no access to basic services like water, sewage, garbage collection and even public lighting. The project divides in two scales: urban and architectural. In the urban scale, vulnerable housing are relocated into safe urban areas, new urban lighting is proposed, and a new fabric extension is proposed beside the school. In the architectural scale, modular housing is proposed in order to have a quick response to emergencies. Two prototypes are developed, being able to grow and expand in different ways according to the users need or the stage of settlement. These modules are based in prefabricated materials available on the area, such as wood panels, that users can work and assemble insitu. We make the emergency evolve into a permanent housing, being able to grow and adapt.
20
1. Identification of housing in risk (flood, landslides, erosion), and relocation of them.
2. New urban lighting in order to improve security. Location of educational, sports, and productive facilities.
3. Proposal of sewage system
4. Masterplan with a designated areas for emergency housing that can evolve into permanent units.

Present and future cities
THE SPECTACULAR CITY
29
In 1967, Guy Debord wrote the ¨Society of Spectacle¨, a text about the mercantilization of the social life as one of the turning points in the western culture. In his book, the spectacle is defined by the representation of life in which the image becomes the center of everything, being itself an end and not a mean. The appearance of life, he argues, has turned more important than life itself, and now, it can be said it reached an urban scale. In consequence, and according to his thesis, we can assume that the appearance of the present city has become more important than the city itself. The present or contemporary city is a compound of systems, a compound of images, different social groups and wealth, due to, among other variables, income inequality. We can state that contemporary city has become above all, a product, a perfect scenery that creates representations of itself, able and ready to be consumed by anyone who seeks them as an end. But inevitably, this process implies to leave behind the social complexity and dynamics that made the city a rich environment, reducing it as a physical object. SoHo in New York City, Malasaña in Madrid, Barrio Italia in Santiago de Chile, Williamsburg in New York City, Barranco in Lima or Kreuzberg in Berlin are neighborhoods that have become a representation of themselves by the social and economic value that their communities gave them. People are attracted to them by their alternative (but generic) stores, their history, and above all, by the role they have in the city’s imaginary. The places above mentioned no longer have the low-income population, artists community, or neither the shops or amenities that has given them their identity. But they preserve their built atmosphere and particular buildings, that no matter the program inside, represent themselves and a scenery in which citizens are able to appropriate meanings in order to differentiate from others.
30
Battersea power station, located now in an ex-industrial area, was the image of Pink Floyd’s ¨Animals¨ album in 1977. It has been for decades a protest symbol against capitalism, power structures and governments, that today arises as the image and the epicenter of a new luxury urban development in London. The context has changed dramatically, but the building is still representing itself, even though the content and the surrounding that gave its meaning is no longer there, being a decontextualized object ready to be consumed by the city. This topic is even more relevant by the presence of Airbnb’s and tourist apartments in the contemporary city, that tend to rapidly change the character of neighborhoods. The most vulnerable population and local shops are displaced by the rise of rents. Local shops are replaced by restaurants and more sophisticated locals in order to attend the new high-expend group, and apartments become a profitable product. This way, the city becomes a sort of an essay of a city and a spectacle for the tourists that experience it. Finally, the contemporary city arises like an icon, a distorted landscape that has been reduced by its citizens as a representation of itself, a place to consume and be recognized by the appropriation of images the city provides. The high consume of images built a new reality that is no longer less real than the city.

Transport and mobility
CRISIS AND OPPORTUNITIES
33
Transport and mobility have been always a fundamental asset for the city and the life of its citizens. Seen like a human body, the transport system, which involve different scales and types, represent the arteries that allows a continuous flow, circulation and above all, accessibility. Like other specialties, different paradigms arise and are faced during the time, responding to a specific historic moment, the context and the needs of society. Will Coronavirus crisis push forward this evolution? Transport and mobility say a lot about the city, maybe more than its citizens can do. In a city where the private vehicle and urban highways are prioritized, we can say it is more probable to have low density suburban developments as the main urban form. In a city where public transport (transit) is prioritized, we can say it is more probable to have a high density and compact development, due the critical mass of people public transport needs to operate correctly. This means there is a strong correlation between transport and urban form and density, in which they both need each other to be sustained. Additionally, transport it is also related with accessibility, being this a much contemporary and relevant concept nowadays. Been able to have access by public transport to educational infrastructure, services, leisure areas and to displace around the city, is a matter also of democracy and social justice. As said before, transport has responded to paradigms and different contexts along the evolution of cities and history. The total freedom that was seek during the 50’s and 60’s, was achieved through the private automobile that finally destroyed the compact city and its streets. The high accessibility, reduced impact in the environment and energy efficiency that followed the car fever, was achieved through the priorization of mass transit. Now, it is the time to respond a sanitary crisis that need more personal space without losing energy efficiency and the high capacity of transit systems.
34
Coronavirus is an opportunity to rethink the mobility of the city as well as the urban form and planning as they have been done until today. This crisis needs to reduce the potential contact between humans and to reduce displacements around the city in order to satisfy all the needs. The bicycle is presented as a good and fast mean that can arise from this emergency situation when distance allows it. Cycling is clean, fast (15/20 kph), keeps a secure distance between riders and need less space than private vehicles. Also, bike infrastructure needed is cheap and adaptable. But to ensure a good accessibility level and success rate, cycling infrastructure is not enough by their own. It needs to rely on urban planning and city morph in order to reduce distances between destinations, and overall the distance between primary uses like housing and workspaces, to make cycling an attractive option for displacement. This way, the compact city, with high density and high walkability rates, has more capacity of change and quicker adaption than lower density models. Today, cities have the duty to become flexible and resilient in order to embrace these new opportunities. Transport, mobility and urban planning always must act pushing to the same direction in order to build a strong and coherent system.

Sustainability
THE PURSUIT OF AN UTOPIA
37
Sustainability has become an important issue in the western discourse of urban planning and management. We seek ways to make the city more ¨sustainable¨ while making small individual chsanges in our daily lives. Popular culture and citizens think that sustainability could achieved by changing incandescent light bulbs for led ones, driving electric cars, having LEED certificate buildings and even recycling garbage without changing urban patterns and our consumption lifestyle. But nothing tends to be more wrong. Cities consume two thirds of the worlds energy and produce 70% of greenhouse gases emissions. They are a compound of interrelated systems that rely deeply and consume natural resources without being capable of producing them. And mainly, for that particular reason, some authors point that it is impossible to a city to become sustainable. As humans do, cities also have a footprint that allows to calculate the area needed to produce the resources they consume. For example, London needs 125 times its surface to produce the resources it consumes (William Rees, 1995). Even though the cities are not sustainable by their own definition and nature, they play a fundamental role in sustainability (Rees, 1995). Urban form and density have a lot to play in the pursuit of this utopia, being both capable of influence in energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions. The typical vision of the cities shows us that the center area’s air concentrates more CO2 than the outskirts due to congestion and island effect. However, a deeper approach shows that the panorama completely changes when the GHG’s are measures not by concentration, but for production per household. For example, in Chicago, households of the city center produce 2,5 tons of CO2 per year, whereas the ones living in suburbs produce 11,5 tons. (CNU). Also, New York City, the densest of United States, has the lowest per capita emissions of C02 in the country, almost 70% less than the US average. (City of New York, 2010)
38
Households emit less contaminant gases due to proximity in destinations that gives more opportunity to walking and cycling, high accessibility rate of public transit, smaller housing units and a lower consumption pattern related to the housing area. Additionally, in the air quality field, pedestrianization of streets and restrictions to private vehicles tend to have a significant effect. Madrid central policies, for example, decrease in 20% the NO2 levels in the air, the lowest in ten years. (El Pais, 2019) Also, the pedestrianization of Times Square reduced in 72% the NO (ppb) levels and in 37,5% the NO2 levels. This shows that in order to have a better air quality, more measures like these must be taken. In conclusion, we can state that cities play a main role in sustainability because of their high consumption of resources and energy. Even though they will not be sustainable until they produce their own resources locally or in proximity, cities have an important role in offering more sustainable ways of living thanks to urban form, density and planning. Instead of thinking about buying an electric car or to have LEED buildings in car-based neighborhoods, lets focus in making the compact areas a better and an attractive place to live in.

Energy
CONSUMERS OR PRODUCERS?
41
Cities consume two thirds of the world’s energy. Commercial and residential buildings consume 40% of it without considering new constructions; transportation 30% and industry 30%. (Oscar Garcia, 2020) But we cannot understand the complete energy issue reducing it just to its consumption: energy has different sources and also is wasted after being used inside de cities. Questions like from where does it comes from, how is it used in cities and what happens after its use, need to be answered. There are two main types of energy sources: non-renewable and renewable. Independently of their nature, energy tends to be produced outside and far away from the cities: in damns, nuclear reactors, solar or wind fields, coal plants, etc; which means a small amount is lost during its transmission to metropolitan areas. The source of the energy produced in each country plays a fundamental role in the sustainability of its cities or not. Brasil and Iceland produce 80% and 75% respectively of their energy in hydroelectric plants having almost no impact in greenhouse gases generation. And after energy is generated, it travels into cities. Energy consumption in cities is influenced mainly by urban form and transportation systems. In urban form, density, extension and compactness influence directly in energy consumption patterns. Housing in suburbs tend to be bigger than in a compact neighborhood, which means more energy consumed per household for their use; and they also rely on private transportation in order to travel long distances. In contrary, a compact neighborhood or city, which means, high density, proximity and transit served, tends to have lower energy consumption per household. According to Walker (1995), increase density compared to single family houses reduces the footprint in 40%. Also, Jeff Speck (2013), mentions that the energy saved in one year by changing all the light bulbs into led ones in suburbs, equals to the energy saved by living in a compact area in one week.
42
Transportation also plays its part in as it is related to urban density. Higher urban densities allow public transit by giving it a critical mass to operate, reducing the amount of energy used per person for transportation. For example, Lefevre (2009), shows that transport related energy consumption per capita in Paris (15 GJ) is around 75% less than in Los Angeles (58 GJ), due to use of public transit. Additionally, after using the energy, cities tend to lose it, instead of reusing it. Cities should be capable of producing their own energy, and this means also to recycle it, creating a system where nothing is wasted. Houses can produce and sell electricity to the network with photovoltaic panels, such as in Belgium or Germany. Urban underground energy can be used again. For example, the hot air evacuated of two metro stations can provide hot water for 7,500 people for one month (Javier Rubio, 2020). Helsinki is working in order to use the waste water heat as source, as well as New York city would use the water flow pressure to generate electricity. There is a vast range of opportunities in these new fields that must be researched and used. Finally, we understand that energy in cities is not only about the energy in cities. It has to do also with its source, urban planning, and the capacity to recycle or produce it. If cities are the main consumers of energy worldwide, we should also imagine they can be the main producers.

THE VOID Workshop 1
CIty Cohousing Lead by Atxu Amann, Andrés Cánovas, Nicolás Maruri, Gabriel Wajnerman Team: Carlos Ballesteros Steven Jacovic Luis Miguel Rivera Mariana Sandoval José Ignacio Valdez Duration: Five days January 2020
45
What does it mean to inhabit the void? Is it possible to recognize it without the presence of mass? In this project, we understand our characters and their specific needs to generate spaces. To bring different possibilities of inhabiting from what they are and not from what we intend them to be. But this process is impossible without exploring ourselves: our own mass and complexity. It is a process that need to be done from the inside-out And it takes courage to go there. It takes courage to face our deepness and start to carve. Carve in order to find light. Carve to generate shelter Carve to seek connections And finally find our own place. It takes time and the will to break the image of ourselves to finally see the shape of our own void.

home2share seeks the minimum dwelling throught sharing social spaces and specific functions, turning housing in a commodificated good. The basic module is a 10 square meter unit that can extend through the presence of extra space modules for a certain time while needed. These extra spaces rotate aroud the building and are rented by users as they need them. Some can be shared with two basic units in double or triple height spaces. This exercise was an utopia that relied on the city and services where people develop their daily activities, like laundries, gyms or cafeterias. After the COVID lockdown, a project with such dimensions and characteristics, would turn into a dystopia. 55

Overcoming clichés in collective housing design Lead by Hrvoje Njiric, Esperanza Campaña Team: Vasiliki Anagnostopoulu Juan Esteban Duque Jose Ignacio Valdez Duration: Five days July 2020
59
The workshop is designed to challenge and seek creativity with traditional ideas and concepts in architectural design of collective living spaces. It aims to promote alternative solutions to housing, coming up with affordable and sustainable units with limited size and budget to meet urgent demands in housing market, something not in contradiction with singular, enjoyable and inviting domestic spaces. The challenge is both multidisciplinary and multiscale, a minimal housing unit capable of fulfilling the residents’ requirements of comfort, thrift and sustainability. *text taken from workshop syllabus

The monumental scale and the rigidity of the petrified plan is the starting point to propose housing units within this building. The project has like a main task to be a minimal intervention, reducing demolished areas (blue) and new walls (mustard). It is an exercise of working with monumental spatial qualities in order to transform them into domestic spaces, that need a different scale, use and logic. Seven flats and one duplex are proposed on each floor, being different in area and typology. They mantain the servant spaces at the back to allow different configurations and plenty of daylight to the served spaces next to the building’s borders.

CHAMELEON ON THE ROCKS Workshop 4
Torres de Colon: The post-pandemic tower as re-usable urban ecosystem Lead by Alison Brooks, Alejandro de Miguel Team: Juan Cruz Barrionuevo Maria Jose Cachau Simona Vega Jose Ignacio Valdez Duration: Five days July 2020
75
COVID-19 has rapidly changed the way we live and use the domestic spaces, forcing us to live, work and even exercise on the same space for long and continous periods of time. This new reality leads to a reflection of how flexible housing should be and what kind of opportunities should it bring to the users in order to adapt these eventual circumstances. Torres de Colรณn housing start from this context to propose flexible units that can change according to the lockdown faces. The project is divided in two parts: the lower part and the towers.

THE INVASION Workshop 5
Fontana Mix Lead by Jaime Coll and Judith Lecrec, Diego García-Setién Team: Manuel Muñoz Audrey Umara José Ignacio Valdez Duration: Five days August 2020
87
Fontana metro station has the potential to become a collective housing building adding units above it. The workshop plays with this possibility, inhabiting the void generated by the metro station in a plot of 20 x 20 x 20 meters in Gracia neighbourhood. The project starting point is through the reinterpretation of three housing typologies, while thinking common spaces as privacy filters. Units are organized in such a way their can limits disappear. Units can expand and invade the common spaces, while common spaces can expand as well into the units.

The existing wall is 380 meters long and divides a pedestrian path underneath it with the seminar’s park above it. The wall represents an urban barrier that is enhanced by the difference of levels and slope. Strategies:
1. Make a porous wall, by creating opennings and public spaces throught it.
2. Inhabit the wall. Create housing program along the wall, giving it deepness, active facades and a character of small scale. A new street is created due the presence of inhabited mass.
100
3. Complement housing with commercial spaces and public services, activating the higher level with these programs.
4. Propose pedestrian axes that connect with the preexistances of the place and the surrounding fabric.
5. Public spaces such a playground and amphitheatre are proposed in the building openings, creating intermediate plazas that connect the higher and lower levels.

Working in Lavapies neghbourhood, a facade with controlled 5.64 5.64 openings is proposed in order to work with thermal mass strategies. Deepness is also a key issue, due the radiation protection for hot seasons. Three layers are proposed: loggia, exterior wood shutters and double glass windows.

Task 4: The final task consists in merging the previous exercices developed on different plots into one. The idea of this workshop was to take the other classmates’ ideas to make your own project. Relevant ideas prevailed in the design process of each plot, being the final project a sort of synthesis of the collectively-design buildings. Location: plot B 116
