Water treatment [ Death and

in
Paraisópolis slum /// of Paraisópolis ]
The regeneration of slums in Brazil is a hot topic now a days. Paraisópolis is the second biggest slum in the city with over 120.000 people and 800.000 squared meters. Searching for new ways to manage poverty and regenerate the urban spaces close to the city’s downtowns ate one of the biggest commitments Sao Paulo´s town halls has. A new series of architectural prototypes that mix urban supply nets able to supply clean watter, electricity, waste treatment and public spaces. The prototype is a water treatment plant that generates a series of pools and gardens that works as a open space in the slum, over it a bath house and a textile cooperative. The building in design so the users are able to occupy the space as needed and make it their own. The supply system able to grow over time due to the structural system base on a series of pieces that makes it able to adapt to any circumstance. The net grows as a neuronal network overlapping the existing urban tissue generation new opportunities for the slum in the future. As a result a urban regeneration my be possible thanks to the new habitants that are attracted by the open opportunities in the slum.

The generation of a unexisting urban tissue created by the amalgamation of ten different architecture prototypes created by the students. The result is an existing fictional urban space. The division in equal areas of this imaginary urban development generated an overlapping areas were students had to deign a 3600 squared meter infrastructure designed only for one user. The fictional city created a series of traces, frictional points that remained as part of the future existing. The amount and quality of light was one of this traces, deciding how the program was going to develop. The hospital for a bubble boy worked as a positive negative buildings, one not being able to enter the other but coexisting so in the positive spaces a series of public spaces were develop and in the negative the hospital for the bubble boy. All the urban spaces are created so they are accessible for the boy, having all the elements the boy need to develop into a grown man. As a way to pay for the hospital, all the public spaces have a counter program, this programs hidden in small corners of the buildings are illegal but very lucrative. For example, the zoo the building has so the boy can see and live around animal has a exotic animal shop and the old nursery is transformed into a health care that buys blood from the poorest transforming the building into a very lucrative business.

Winter garden in Chicago /// [ The Cathedral of the 21´St Century Winter garden for exchange ] Chicago is one of the American city that has a bigger sprawl covering a huge extension. As a result Chicago has many food dessert, urban areas were fresh food can´t be found. The creation of a winter garden in Chicago’s downtown was the opportunity to generate a productive winter garden were food could be cultivated using the newest techniques. It is not only a cultivation garden but also a exchange market, were people or organizations could buy, exchange or donate fresh food being able to supply it through the railway that runs next to the building. Able to replicate in different locations of the city. The building itself is built so it joins both bridges transforming it into a urban pathway. The building is generated by a series of arches modifying its hight and span depending on the vegetation below. The arches overlap and interconnect making the structure work like a gothic cathedral. On the structural spaces and overlapping the garden a series of activities and programs are design so the building also works as a community centre.

New York city has one of the best urban transport systems of the owrld having very few private cars. The project asked for the creation of a transport hub, thinking that in a future private cars wouldn´t work inside Manhattan and only auto-driven taxis and other transport systems will be use. The building is located in the high line, as it is a sign of the urban rehabilitation possibilities in the city of New York. In a residual urban space, a very narrow land would have a automatic car park, a series of offices and a sport centre. The building separates in three different towers, programming all façades so the building is as energy efficient as possible. The building offers a connection not only a floor level but also on the high line level, supporting the city’s new urban developments. The building includes a lookout , related with the sport centre, a metal and crystal stair with a pyrex tube façade that looks over the west bay.

The future urban developments for Madrid includes that in Madrid downtown it will be forbidden to drive privates cars, making it accessible only by public transport. Around 2.000.000 private cars go inside Madrid downtown every day, more than 33.000 near the entrance close to the site. In the future all this cars will have to be storage around this motorway , including a series of uses for car as part of this new car life that has been developing in the past 20 years. The building is a giant parking, able to store all 33.000 cars and with a series of programs car related, cinemas, car-wash, mechanical workshops and so on, mixing with offices an public programs, including a series of platforms for urban camping. The cars are storage in a egg-box like structure, being able to storage cars in both side of the structure and creating an optimization of space. The outside skin is also part of this parking, changing its density depending on the our of the day and making the building change constantly.

Madrid´s town hall has over 400 abandoned buildings inside Madrid downtown, these buildings are the corpses of the recent crisis Spain has gone throw but also an opportunity for the city to digest this dead bodies the city had rotten over the years. The consumer ideologies of this century have become an issue for Madrid urbanism, most of the squares in Madrid’s downtown have been deforested to construct parking spaces that consumers can use as part of their shopping ritual, erasing in their way the public life of the city. A new concept of public space is needed, a proactive public space where you can not only just sit or wait but a place to learn share and spend your time teaching and learning from others. The prototype is generates in the old Canalejas complex, very close to Sol it is the perfect spot to start developing this new “buildings” where private and public have more diffuse borders. The ground level is a topography, but also a water tank and a giant workshop and a testing platform for new developing prototypes, and anything users want it to be. The more closed area is a ramp where metal arcs of different shapes stay one after the other changing mutating from one shape to the next. These spaces have the more technical workshops, educative spaces and a cooking school along with a housing system that shares the domestic space with the commercial/work space. The building itself is used to hold the old buildings skin, and the void between both is use to generate an artificial ecosystem, mixing natural and technical systems so the new public space can be use all year long. As part of this hygrothermal comfort system the rain water is gather and the wind blowing throw the old building howls is embrace.
[ Metallic section structures. ] The building main structure, the metallic archs system, is design using five angular pieces and four different lengh bars. The resulting structure creates a dynamic space. Developing over 64 different metallic sections, that relates to the uses the building complex.
