The building is located on a vast terrain in the city of Rosario. The volume is escalade in reference to the surrounding building. Gaining prominence with it height, it turns into a landmark. The concept of the project is structured based on two intertwined and winding ribbons that form both the complex structure of the building, and the residential spaces in simple, double and triple height. The use of the reinforced concrete technology as a structural material was the start in the search of the

form. The structure can be clearly read in the building. Both bodies propose a visual and structural tour. The building is structured from two large ribbed walls which defines the sides of both bodies, and articulate the interior of the service volume. The coffered slabs roams and integrates each one of the floors. A single hole in the wall summarizes the link between the front and bottom. Bedrooms, living-room and dining-room room have completely released views and expansions.

PROGRAM FRAMED VIEWS

Project: Tasada Ma. Jose The Convention Center project addresses the issue of contemporary public space trough the development of complex program on an urban site. A 1.000.000SF building is composed with 33% Convention Center, 33% Offices and 33% Hotel. The main idea of the project is to create public space and generate links between the building and the surrounding. The best way to create more public space is to activate and open the ground floor through a vertical shape; however, a horizontal convention center is more efficient than a vertical one. Due to the land is divided in two by lake shore drive, the entire program cannot fit horizontally in it. In order to fulfill the two fundamental conditions: Public Space and Efficient Building, the convention center is located horizontally over Lake Shore Drive level.

The decision to create an elevated building with a small footprint and height presence allows urban land release and enhance the public open space: an urban space that thanks to the dominance of the green landscape offers a new kind of civic monuments, emblematic and sensitive, collective and intimate. Retail, Amphitheater, and other public activities are located in the ground floor in order to reactivate the area. Due to difficult vehicular access, a new street-level was generated above Lake Shore Drive. This level of the convention center reaches to the Lake Shore Drive and provides with an easy vehicular access to the convention center, hotel and the offices. Pedestrian accesses are generated through retail programs in the ground floor. The interior of a building is not simply the inverse of the exterior form but should be considered a collection

of diverse atmospheres. The building was thought as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;climate machineâ&#x20AC;? that is driven by the special effects of distinct interior volumes, colors, lights, and materials. From the spacious interior the visitor understand the spatial logic of building: open visions diagonally and vertically integrate the different moments of Cultural Activities and generate a real public interior space inter, multi- program, active and inclusive. To emphasize the character of continuity of public space, terraces are made at the same level of the roof of the near building; where some public activities of the convention center, like exhibition, are proposed to spread out. From the Public Terraces and from different sky-decks on the building, the visitor is all the time in strong connection with the city, the lake and the sky.

CORE GREENHOUSE UIC - SPRING 2012 MArch 2do year Faculty: Claudi Aguiló Sergi Serrat Project: Tasada Ma. Jose The intervention area is on “The Ensanche”; the 4 blocks under research are located right after the boundary of the old city. There are 3 of the 4 blocks that have resent interventions, which recover the middle of the block for public or collective uses (like a Library and School Buildings). There is only one of the blocks that don’t have resent interventions; therefore the middle of the block is unavailable to be used. It was decided to work in this last block for this reason and because it is the block with most percentage of green interior spaces, more unused surfaces that could be reprogramming, and worst ventilation and light conditions. A series of researches on the block were conducted in order to be aware of the comfort condition of the existing housing. These researches developed that the 87% of the housing lightways are out of code conditions and that the 75% of them have non-cross ventilated typologies. Also a big unused factory in the middle of the block and some unused commercial spaces were discovered in these researches.

The last research conducted develop the permeability of the ground floor. Doing this research was developed that there are some program that contribute to the permeability of the ground floor to the middle of the block, and some that block it. Residential building is one of these last kinds of programs. After studied different flaws of the block with we get four mains aims for the project. One of them is the increment of commercial activity to improve the floor plan permeability. The second is to recover the middle of the block for community activities, as the other blocks in the surroundings do. The third one is to improve the passive energy on housing. And the last one is to re use the abandon structure for housing relocation. The first strategy to achieve these objectives is to remove the cores of the existing buildings. This allows the lightways area increment that will improve housing light and ventilation conditions.

The second strategy is the relocation of these cores. There are two different conditions: - Ones are the unit with cross ventilation where the cores will be relocated in the interior of the block as corridorgalleries. - The second one is for the units without cross ventilation. For this last one the proposal is to demolish the building that is between to units to create a “Greenhouse-core”. The main criteria for this demolition is that a building could be demolish only if that improves at least the double of the unit to be demolished. Building affected for the demolition criteria will be relocated in the existing void and unused structures. The third strategy is to reduce of residential access on the street facade, in order to increase commercial activity surfaces on it. Residential access will be relocated on the interior of the block, related with new collective spaces. This ground floor strategy will improve floor plan permeability of the ground floor.

PROPOSAL: RIVER ROAD EXTENSION

CORE GREENHOUSE PROPOSAL

UIC - FALL 2013 MArch 3th year Faculty: Jose Oubrerie Project: Tasada Ma. Jose

The aim of the project is to reactivate River Road by extended it up to the public road creating a direct connection between Pedestrian and River City. It’s produced 3 main focus of access to River Road: through the river, Polk St. and Harrison. These strategic points of access will allow the connection of River Road to the infrastructure of the city and will improve pedestrian access as well. Commercial and public activities are located on the ground floor in order to catch pedestrian to go in. Over the ground floor and in direct connection with river city is located the hotel. River City is composed by 2 volumes that inclose a inner collective space, “River Road”. With the same logic, the project was thought as a combination of objects which arrange different programs. As a group of building programs they inclose a new inner public

space that will connect with the collective River City Road. Each Building is basically a closed shape defined by continues ribbons as a wall. The arrangement of bold architectural elements can tell us how we should “feel” about the place we find ourselves in. We find ourself curious in front of a surface that angles away, and intimidating when it towards us. The project plays with these different felling that the visitor could perceive. With torqued and angled walls, the void between the buildings can be entered from either end, and visitors are invited to stroll the path between the curving bands. Along the way, the walls of the ribbons alternately fall away from or overhang the route, widening and narrowing the path below one’s feet and the slot to the sky above, although usually not at the same time.

The sustainable character of this proposal is based on the architectural decisions which reduce the energy required for the house to function. The home is located in the area of the Pampas, near Rosario (province of Santa Fe). It is a compact house on two floors (minimizing the perimeter and footprint) and appears in the landscape like an object set on the plain, a monolith silhouetted against the sky. It is placed sideways along the shortest edge of the plot, freeing the largest possible green area. As a plot is rotated ay a 45 degree angle from the north orientation, the roof is set at the optimum angle to receive plentiful solar energy, and its ridge line is rotated to align with the points of the compass.

tinuity with the landscape and also becoming a wide “loggia” space.

Instead of adding the classic solar control elements, the design works with a subtraction strategy: the depths of the openings respond to their capacity to act as overhangs and vertical sunscreens to optimize the greenhouse effect according to each season. It also guarantees that sunlight and cross ventilation reach all rooms, whilst the large opening of the living room is the most dominant, establishing a visual con-

Rather than designing a house, we have thought of a design strategy where a system of specific architectural resources (footprint, orientation, position and depth of openings, roof geometry) regulate and temper the effects of environment on human comfort and reduce energy requirements, giving the project a special formal character which reveals its relationship with the universal context.

The adoption of reinforced concrete as the main material also seeks to extend the building’s lifespan, reducing maintenance requirements and allowing it to be recycled by different generations.

Working Public Learning Exercising

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION Project: Arch. Tasada Ma. Jose Arch. Castagnino Delfina

Facing the San Francisco Bay, at the docks 30-32, the new Central Fire Station of the city is located. Considering the layout of the city, the building is placed on The Embarcadero and the extension of Brannan St. This particularly suitable position, uniquely linked to the main roads of the city, allows the firefighters to act quickly in case of an emergency. This location also permits the land release for the creation of a public park and a viewpoint to be used by the community. As an inventory of the traditional coastline of the city, seven stacked volumes determined by the outline of the coastal docks shape the building. Each volume cannot stand alone as a building; it relies on its

stacked codependent relationship with each other to create a stable and coherent form. Thereby, the main formal strategy is established by the condition of these rectangular volumes stacked in balance. Of the seven volumes composing the project, five are destined to private activities for the development of the Fire Station. These working, exercising, living and learning volumes are arranged establishing relationships between them. The vertical volume, both public and private , is destined for training and access to the learning and public volumes. The remaining one is for a San Francisco Fire Memorial Museum and a restaurant, social activities suggested to strengthen

the connection of the public building with the community. The displacement of the volumes generates a series of terraces at different levels that allow outdoor activities within the building. The premise of an irregularly shaped building, complex in its morphological configuration, and also practical, seeks to meet the needs of the Fire Station and settle in the city as a monumental icon, a reminder not only of the tragedy, but also of how the city rose from the ashes.

The Sustainable Social Housing Prototype is designed to be adapted to the different site conditions found in the territory. In order to capture the maximum amount of solar energy and to decrease the resistance against prevailing winds, the roof of the house is inclined 33ยบ and is always oriented North-South. As the orientations vary according to each site, the house can rotate over its axis looking for the best urban conditions. For this competition, several Prototypes are grouped and located on a site inhabited by humble fishing communities in the south end of Rosario. The Prototype is thought in several steps according to the needs of its users. The final result is a compact

house in two floors that minimizes the perimeter and footprint, freeing the largest possible green area. The house also presents a strong connection with the surrounding environment through its openings. These are holes in the mass that guarantee cross ventilation and regulate sunlight. The choice of wood modular prefabrication as the constructive system and the use of low cost sustainable materials, provides a practical and fast construction technique capable of reducing time and labor cost. Also, in order to encourage public participation and community work, foster training is proposed for the building of the houses.

In this workshop, Grasshopper was used to develop strategies of generative design for â&#x20AC;&#x153;responsive skinâ&#x20AC;?. This skins are understood as a new type of infrastructure that can be adapted to different geometric and topological configurations in connection with its environment. The skins was developed in a specific project responding to the needs of an existing context.

the resulting models, has a bounded control of the initial behavioral rules; are the environmental conditions which ultimately determine the resulting models.

The size of the drilling responds to the density of passengers in different sectors. The skin adapts the variables needs, allowing larger holes in the busiest areas to achieve more efficient ventilation and better lighting.

The aim was to investigate both the development of flexible geometric systems, and the process that This project sets new design condition, where allows linking dynamically these geometric systems with different types of information from the particular the designer, instead of having absolute control of 89

to shed shadows on a town square. The problem is solved with the repetition of a base module which generated a double-curved surface. The opaque module is which produces shadow, and the gaps between the joints allows the light to pass.

The program required the construction of an object

During the course of the sun, the plaza undergoes a

dynamic play of light and shadow. A laser cutting machine was used for the fabrication of the prototype material, it developed based on the correlation between material, form, production processes, assembly. 93

QUITO, ECUADOR Project: Arch. Saez V. Jose Maria

A new vegetable soil rises and orders the complexity of program needs, and the organic natural ground is incorporated below. The roofsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cracks oriented along the slope of land east-west, guarantee the sunlight and multiply the views from interiors. Through them the house is permeable to sun, light, in some places to the rain, and also to existing trees that running through it. The path of the water creates the shape of the house.

Rainwater is collected, filtered and accumulated in the transversal supporting beams by the grassy roof . Under the beam-tanks are the wetlands of the house. The support structure is both columns and drains. Above the original nature is located another manmade nature.

I worked in this project during almost three month. I took part in the drawing and modeling of all the design steps, collaborating during the schematic design period and working actively in the design development and construction documents.

Two orders of reality that are complemented and interconnected generating mental and physical space to inhabit. 99

The landmarks are actually looking machines, devices that generate wonderful scenographic frames, intensify the landscape. Its particularity volumetric characteristic is defined by the inclusion of a horizontal and vertical framework in each of them. The landmarks are equal but different. The same object is altered and modified to the site.

It rotates, tilts, raises or peeks to find the correct position in the landscape. The implantationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy of the landmarks are based on a diagram that alters its parameters according to the particular circumstances of each place. This competition required us to design two different

project into one. One was the design of several landmarks, all of them together made a single route. And the other one was the design of a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; center of an archeological museum. In the first part of the competition I was an important part of the project team, getting involved in all the design decisions and working in the study drawing, models and renders. 113

The urban housing project on three floors prioritizes a compact footprint which gives the greatest amount of free land. This project works with a 45 cm monolithic wall without thermic insulation or interior or exterior waterproofing. It achieves comfort conditions required by the mass of the wall and a waterproof cement board. The wet areas are made with the same enameled bricks and ceilings are of concrete slab in sight. There is no surface in the house revoked or painted.

A number of studies of different types of rigs and brick drilling possibilities in relation to its structural logic determine the adoption of the English crusade rig for all the parts of the walls and facade. With this rig, loads are transmitted on a 45 degree diagonal, giving the maximum proportion chance of perforation (35% transparent, 65% opaque). The rig -understood as a logical system - is translated into a digital modeling algorithm which recreates the laws of the system and allows the modification of external variable parameters (such as the actual dimensions of the site, the bricks and the joint between them)

for the final fit between the abstract diagram and its particular site. There is no wall and windows, but only a minimal constructive unit that is repeated in different configurations, and regulates itself according to its need for structural stability and path length. In this project I was an important part of the project team, getting involved in all the design and working into the study drawings and models. I was also the responsible of design the parametric skin of the building -soul of the project. 125

INSTALLATION BOOK As part of the international exposition we made a installation book as a project. Into the studio I was the responsible of this exposition. Instead of modeling the additive elements -brick - of the project, we decided to represent the space contained by them. The digital model was inverted and its depth scaled in a third, generating the volume of interior emptiness of the building. This volume was undermined in a stack of 200 sheets of paper using a laser pantograph. The interior spaces were seen with the passing of the leaves of the book. 128
