01. URBAN CONTAINER/ BKC_GRADUATION PROJECT The campus is located in the peripherials of Barcelona city and divided by one of the main streets ‘la diagonal’. This specific area presents a lack of mix in functions, making it a kind of a ‘ghost city’ in different periods of time. The Campus Center is conceived as the heart of the University, where the pedestrian flows from the urban planning influence the container mass. Due to the dimensions of the building, light perforations were made in different ways creating diversity and complexity. The building construction is clear, with a steel structure and prefabricated panels, vertical connections placed strategically and a facade that unifies these elements. For the building program the concept is based on flexibility, by using different modules and strategies that make the building suitable for different actors and times. Three module types were designed, where each responds to different customers needs. The research was conducted for the ideal 2016 program combination, therefore the current design is a possible scenario for that year. The flexibility allows for changes in program in the near future. The atrium, as a new plaza and foyer of the Campus Center, represents this unity. It offers a place where students interact with each other, and can exchange their ideas, eventhough these might change in the future.

04. INTERNSHIP AKKA ARCHITECTS (Amsterdam, Holland) Al Alif The site is located in the city center of Dubai and has the proximity of the Zaabell park, the metro station Al Alifiya, and the central bus station of the city. The proposal divides the site into three different areas and levels: on the first level are the metro and pedestrians, then a level with the park and bikes, and lastly the bus station and the cars entrance. Our main goal is to achieve interaction, that is why the tower is designed in a continuos and uninterrupted spiral, that connects and allows communicaton, giving freedom and granting different situations in the building. The atrium is created by this continuos spiral ramp and infinite escalators will provide connection between floors, by creating an abstract arab pattern in height.

05. BRUSSELS INFOBOX - MSC2 MATERIALIZATION (Brussels, Belgium) Natural growth of a structure (with references to the metabolism and structuralism) in a new green axis, bringing back the memories and the nature of an old existing river in Brussels. The first steps in msc 2 MADD materialisation, are taken. The design of an infobox in Brussels as a guide to know more about the masterplan of portzamparc is the main goal. But, also important is the fact that it is a temporary building. Hence, the project tries to find a way, a clear system that can adapt over time, and can create a different atmosphere. A place where diversity takes place, where the community and the people are part of it. The main idea relies on a natural structure that can grow and adapt. A continuous developement from ‘atom to nebula’. The chosen structure is the hexagon, inspired by the honeycombs; a place for the community. This hexagonal module, creates a system and a simple way of growing, creating complexity and diversity related to this new green axis.

06. NEW MEDIA CENTER - EXPERIENCES AND MEMORIES OF A CITY - MSC1 BORDER CONDITIONS (Berlin, Germany) The experience of the multiple activities in Berlin. The pursuit of diversity, multiplicity and changeability. During the studio, Border Conditions and territories, we approached our research focusing on and expressing the main notion of multiplicity. Our first attempt, then, was to analyse Rotterdam and its main shopping street, the Koopgoot. The spot inspired us to collect different ‘souvenirs’ ( by souvenirs we mean different objects that we found during the journey) in order to represent the impressions and sensations, as a representation of multiplicity. Hence, we kept the track in our trip to Berlin, considering that, it is a city plenty of variety, contrasts, diversity and a whole range of activities. Our first endeavour then, was to express this idea by using wood cubes as a game, were the citizens could build and show us their own impression of the city. This first exercise, made us realize that we needed more freedom in the materials we could use, in order to clearly express this existing changeability of the city. Thus, after analysing precisely the city and its characteristics, we arrived to the conclusion that, in order to express these different sensations and continuing changings, foam and wire (as they are manageable materials) will represent this performance of the city of Berlin the best. The expirience of the multiple activities then, was exemplyfied with the main actions of bending, twisting and folding; were the wire represented the activity, and the altered form of the foam the multiplicity.

07. THE WHY FACTORY WORKSHOP -BUILDING BARBAPAPA (Delft, Holland) The workshop research:
Air pump system
A filmic, material-based exploration of how to create adjustable environments. “How we made it.” As a main reference “The transformer”, our main goal was to reproduce one part of the film, by creating models and environments that can adapt. The firts days, my research was focus on finding a tecnique and the perfect material to create this new adaptable environment: The pool. Materials where tested, beginning with simply paper and a scaled person. My main goal, eventhough , was to develop a way where the space can change by only one move. Hence, during the workshop the teachers guided and helped us, to go further in our ideas. As a result, I developed a bike tire structure and a mechanism, where only by changing air pressure in the different tires, different spaces are created achieving the pursued adaptable space. Five tires interwoven create an stable structure. Then the plastic fabric was smartly placed in the inside, offering this changeability. Also, another mechanism was developed, consisting in folded tires, creating an “infinite” loop that can also change. The slow-motion film, was made by photo shoots. The final result and the making off are shown further in these panels.

08. UVI -URBAN DEVELOPMENT FOR NEW ECO-TURISM ROUTES (Emporda, Catalonia) Axis 2
The Roses tapestry is the name for the area, and is a collection of vineyards, settlements, farmlands and wetlands.
Axis 3
We design three different axes, as a way to integrate and connect the Roses tapestry with the coast. The axes’ verticality connect the different areas, improving the current lack of communication and integration between the rural areas and the coastline.
Axis 1
Every axis is created with a main goal: Axis 1: Use ecoturism as a way to work with the environment, and create an understanding of the rural areas and its nature. Axis 2. . Integration of the urban fabric with the existing nature. Axis 3. Integrate the wetlands with its adjacent farmlands.

09. PVI- 40 DWELLINGS - Professor : Josep Ferrando (Poble sec, Barcelona) Gentle open transistion between the city and the green mountain of Montju誰c. The site of the project was immersed in two contrasting urban typologies: a high density neighbourhood and an more open structure with terraced housing blocks at the foot of the mountain. Hence, the main goal is to break down the actual boundary between these two neighbourhoods (marked by a crossing street) and create a new open space adapting and creating a new landscape and richer environment for the city. The design project consisted of four different plots, located on an intersecting point in the neighbourhood of poble sec, Barcelona. That is why, we paid special attention to terms like continuity, integrity and proper adaptation of the houses on the plot that was available because of the particular topography. The design creates two different typologies imitating the different heights of the two neighbourhoods. So, by adapting retaining walls and houses to the existing topography, we created a new built landscape of diversity.

10. PV- LA COSMETODA 500 DWELLINGS - Professor : Josep Ferrando (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Catalonia) The perfect transition: from a high density urbanism to an open and inviting atmosphere, preserving a monumental structure. The site provided for the project was immersed in a very dense urban area. That is why a dense but spacious project with large public space was created, to free up the urban fabric. Hence, the main goal is to find a new way to create a transition between the urban scale an the smallest “human” scale. The project wants to create a new atmosphere, including new squares, public spaces, shops, markets and a comfortable enviroment for the neighbourhood and the city. The plot and the project is based on the main idea of urban continuity. With this main notion, the project imitates the scale and the grain of the neighbourhood, and at the same time, creates new public and semi-public spaces, supplied with shops, activities and new parks. Therefore, it becomes a transition between these two different grains: the patio and big scale buildings, and the small grain towards an open and attractive park. Hence, the design responds to this urban transition, adapting itself by including patios.

11. UIV- MASTERPLAN- AMSTERDAM (Amsterdam, Holland) New development on an Amsterdam island to design an open and spacious neighbourhood of approximate 350.000 m2 The idea was to create a diagonal street that cuts trough the site as a new main street. This would provide an important connection between the land, the sea and its surroundings infrastructure. From this starting point, we divided the site in a regular grid, creating regular plots and at the same time, solving the problem of triangular spaces. With this main decision taken, we found a suitable unit of repetition (with some variations), that helped us with the design. So, as the plot was in the Netherlands, we took into account the water factor. In this way, we designed small canals as an integrated part of the neighbourhood, providing life and activities to the new tenants. The two vegetation spaces placed in the corner of the site and a landmark, as a new reference point of the Amsterdam sea entrance. The building heights are also planned as a gradient: from the towers to the small houses that meet with the sea and the landscape.
