LA FARINERA
Sociocultural Complex in Poblenou, Barcelona. Dissertation ETSALS, Barcelona. 2013 The enlargement of Barcelona, planned by Cerdá in the mid-19th Century, imposed an orthogonal grid over the surrounding flat of the city, an attempt to organize and democratize the urban realm. Under this process, the new Metropolis absorbed all the nearby towns, turning them into new neighbourhoods. Their existing urban fabrics collided with the imposed grid, and both coexisted on the outskirts of the city. This project aims the recovery of one of those former roads, which was erased –as many others- by speculators in the chase of buildable ground. Located in the former industrial area of Barcelona, the site has three industrial listed buildings and a listed façade -brick and timber works dated from late 19th Century. This industrial complex -known as La Farinera- was aligned to La Farinera passage, an historic route that linked the Royal Road with the Barcelona Graveyard. It was in the 20th Century when the complex expanded carelessly, occupying –chaotically- the whole block. A proposed sociocultural facility will face the newly open street. The complex will create and end for the new axis as well as encourage social activity in the area, which now is mainly occupied by abandoned industrial buildings. Its purpose is the revitalization of the neighbourhood and coexistence with the listed buildings, making them part of the complex and revisiting their constructive systems to apply in the new buildings.

SUPERBLOCK
Superblock and Masterplan proposal for Marseille. The Bartlett - UCL, London. 2014. Marseille Superblock consists of a design tactic that revisits the idea of Superblock, it is less a solution to a problem and more a problematisation of the processes of urban regeneration and the chimera of the gentrification. The Superblock is an open-ended questioning of the established conception of revitalisation of the urban realm under market forces. It attempts a radical reorientation of gentrification, towards a network of social welfare that supports collective needs and contemporary subjects. The project envisions a new space of living and working in the northern part of Marseille’s city centre, an area already under extreme pressure from the real estate market. It constructs a settlement unit based on an orthogonal grid whose size and orientation re-appropriate and unify the existing fabric of the city. At the same time, it introduces a specific structural and functional clarity of the domestic realm, introducing a system of fixed elements in plan -a wall of infrastructure and facilities- that allows for the organisation of different dwelling units. The outter façade is constructed as a three-dimensional grid of movable panels, shutters, lightweight structures, balconies and terraces, which adjust according to the internal organisation of the different apartments. The vertical circulation is organized with a series of ramps and staircases facing the internal courtyard, configuring the inner façade.
