House of Hungarian Music Budapest, Hungary
Kokon Architectuur & Stedenbouw B.V.
The House of Hungarian Music is envisioned as the modern reincarnation of the primordial Budapestian instrument: the cimbalom. More than any otherz instrument the cimbalom is linked with the Hungarian musical tradition. Modern interpretations are hard to find, it seems the appearance of the cimbalom has stopped evolving. For the House of Hungarian Music however, the cimbalom proves to be a grateful source of inspiration. It delivers all necessary resources for a clear, inviting and contemporary design. The building consists of a closed volume, containing the temporary and the permanent exhibition, which is supported by four legs. Three of the four legs are enclosed by a subtle glass curtain, the fourth leg is free standing. The main interior route in the building sways around the legs and finds its way to the roof, on top of the closed volume. The route makes visitors experience the building in an ever changing perspective, passing by all the program in a fluent movement.
Looking from the ruins Gdansk, Poland
Final Project Thesis, University Alcalá de Henares
The project is located in an island with many ruins, from the Second World War. It´s a beautiful place since where you can look out the city. The urban idea is to reactivate the place by two ways. Gateways to communicate the plot with both sides of the city with pedestrian caracter and perimeter route around the island next to the river. The main decision of the project is to KEEP THE RUINS as they are. They are improved by analysis of the pathologies and the rehabilitation of them. The final parts of the building turn round in order to look for the best visual to the city. The building is a view platform to the city. The design, with a new metal structure, enhance the contrast with the old brick walls. The structure is parallel to the ruins, which creates an interesting spaces in between. There´s a public program where the ruins might be visited as well. The transparency of the facade lets the people have a visual contact with the ruins in every moment, both inside and outside. The building is embedded in the ruins. The past corrodes without stopping towards the future.
Guggenheim Helsinki Helsinki, Finland
Kokon Architectuur & Stedenbouw B.V.
The museum consists of a dome created from two geometric shapes, containing the exhibition areas. The building transforms from ground level to the roof, from a rounded triangle into a circle. The main interior route sways around the void in the middle. Visitors experience it in an ever changing perspective, passing by the ‘rotating’ floors. The facade consists of wooden panels with Pv-cells, pinned with hinges on the structure. The panels follow the movement of the sun like a sunflower and open like pine cones. During daytime non-paying visitors can visit the shop, café and the multi-purpose hall. On harbour level, a secondary entrance for the public will give access to the centre area, to the multi-purpose hall. Visitors can reach the main hall through the escalators, elevators and stairs. In the 3 corners of the main hall, the tickets counter (with behind it the cloakroom and restrooms), the shop and the café are situated. The entrances for the staff and the artefacts are placed on the harbour level on the north-west side. Exhibitions spaces, restaurant and terraces are situated on the upper floors, giving beautiful 360° views to the old city and harbour.
Plovdiv Central Square Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Kokon Architectuur & Stedenbouw B.V.
The city garden is envisioned on the layer of the old roman city. Flowerbeds, lawns, flower meadows and green walls provide a place where the Plovdiv population can relax and contemplate. The garden functions as a green city lung. Butterflies, birds and insects have their habitat, during spring- and summertime the perfume of fl owers is widely spread. People can sit on the comfortable stairs and play on the lawns. Strategically positioned flower beds help to provide from abuse of the excavations. Structuring element in the design is the former roman agora. A new excavation will connect the excavation to the west of the Post Office and the one in the south and southeast. The shape of the agora will be marked by a footpath which connects the modern and the Roman city layer. This path is paved with concrete labs, which are substituted by glass in two parts. Stairs and slopes connect the roman and the modern city.

Recycled Park
Rotterdam, The Netherlands WHIM Architecture
Recycled park is the proposal to retrieve plastic waste from the river the Nieuwe Maas just before it reaches the North Sea. The plastics are recycled to give new value to the river. From the plastics we will construct floating platforms for a new green environment; a floating park. Plastic waste is a structural problem in open waters. Via rivers a subsequent part of plastic litter enters our seas and oceans, where it becomes part of the plastic soup. The Nieuwe Maas is an important European river that takes the pollution from the inland to the sea. The plastic will be given a new value as floating capacity for green environments. Floating parks are a plus for the city of Rotterdam, but will also fulfill an ecological role in the river water. The building blocks are designed in such a way, that not only can grow nature on top, but in the water new life will have its sole for existence as well. The bottom of the platform will have a rough finishing where plants can have enough surface to grow and fish a place to leave their eggs. It was publisehd in architectenweb. Click on the link below:

In-Tube Madrid, Spain
Pladur Constructive Solutions Competition SECOND PRIZE
The Unfinished City, viruses, bacteria, diseases. Analyzing the urbanism of Madrid, the diagnostic shows the following symptoms: contains uninhabited cells, unused, colonize, unchecked, does not work, sick; residual, marginal, disconnected, inhospitable and incohesive the backbone of the city empty. This disease is known as The City Unfinished. Intube, an antibody reactive dead tissue of the city. Intube, a strategy, a vaccine. We base our treatment at doses of intube, to create antibodies diseased tissue with targeted actions at strategic points in order to revitalize their environment to weave the whole. Each pill intube brings a different role, being all together the solution. So we introduce a structuring that allow the flow and relationships, other rechargeable, a generating activity, other production and ancillary. The reaction to intube is the extension of these cells in a permeable membranes unify all engaged in a well equipment. The porosity of this skin allows coming through the opened and the closed space. Intube, regenerate places.

RotChair
Rotterdam, The Netherlands Smoking Chair Design Competition
The ROTCHAIR is inspired by the band of the cigar. We want to translate the idea of the circular shape of the band, which hugs Habano cigar, into the chair design. Thus, the chair becomes a comfortable, embracing the smoker. The design simplicity and warmth is similar to the ring of the cigar. In the same way, the chair can become highly sophisticated. The materials are wood and leather, but it could be changed in color and texture.
