ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
ROCK OF GIBRALTAR house on the beach
teachers: EfrĂŠn Garcia Grinda y Cristina Diaz Moreno 2008/2009 The project takes place on the Rock of Gibraltar, in an area of steep terrain. The house is adapted to this topography and looks for different views of interest. The house is created from structures that give shape and allow for different movements, facilitating the adaptation to the environment.

GIB_ROCK OF GIBRALTAR culinary university
teachers: EfrĂŠn Garcia Grinda y Cristina Diaz Moreno 2008/2009 All the programs are related, so I propose mobile spaces with the possibility of changing their use. The floors are designed with elements that move on a single axis and create different spaces. In this way, the building is supported by three core lifts and a three-dimensional cover that creates different environments in the interior through its variation and intermediate elements.
PARAMETRIC PLATFORM fun and games teachers: Peter Cook and David Tajchman 2009/2010 Fun and games take place in London, on the Thames River. We create different pieces that float on the water, with the union of several of them through cranes, we create different platforms dedicated to dance and music.
SOUNDSCAPES music pavillion teachers: Peter Cook y David Tajchman 2009/2010 A pavillion dedicated to music that takes place in Luxemburg Gardens, Paris. People interact with the pavillion and create music through the bounding elements: the strings. These elements create different spaces and at the same time are manipulated by the public, creating different sensations that can be experienced outdoors or in small capsules created for this purpose.
NEW TOPOGRAPHIES
intervention in plaza de españa teachers: Ana Luengo y Lourdes Jimenez 2010/2011 In the course of ‘Project Urbanism’ we propose a rehabilitation of the square through the creation of a new topography, in which appear different road surfaces and elements that create new spaces inside and outside the square.
LIQUID SPACE
center for water culture teachers: JuanJose Mateos 2010/2011 The project consist of four groups (museum, residential, acuatic center and hammam) composed by individual pieces that by their superposition create different spaces.

CONNECTION OF RECOVERED LIVING SPACES abandonment teachers: Victoria Acebo y Angel Alonso 2011/2012 Premio PFC COAM 2013 Final Graduation Project. Given the growing ecological footprint of the contemporary metropolis and especially in developed countries, the strategy taken in this project acquires a compensatory function from the space deficit that affects the entire planet, and of course the city of Madrid. In this project we explore new ways of cities in a neighborhood where there is infrastructure and equipment at risk of ceasing to function.
