Personal Profile

I am a creative, positive, sociable, very active and curious person, passionate about the world of architecture and aware of the importance of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and data science in the future of our society. I consider myself a responsible, committed, organized person with the capacity to work in teams under pressure, as well as to lead and make decisions.

I have work experience in internationally renowned architecture studios such as Nieto Sobejano Architects (two years and a half) and Emilio Tuñon Architects (internships), where I have had the opportunity to learn from the best, acquiring a solid foundation and a great fluency in development both high-level conmpetitions and highly complex detail construction projects.

Committed to society I have been, among others, part of a scout group for 18 years, of which I have been coordinator for two years and monitor for six years. Personally, I also have a great interest in traveling and learning from different cultures.

(To whom it may concern) Madrid, September 13, 2017

I would like to recommend MARTA MORENO CANTERO for a position at your office. She is, no doubt, one of the best students I have had in my office working as an intern (summer 2013 and 2014) as well as a great student in my studio (fall 2013) at the Madrid School of Architecture (E.T.S.A.M.).

In my office, she collaborated in the development of several projects such as the competition for the Guggenheim Museum in Helsinki, The Bussines Bay Towers in Dubai or the Townhall in Bodo. In all of them she transmitted her enthusiasm and extraordinary interest in the practice of architecture as an intellectual construction based on a complex description of reality. Showing herself to be helpful and serious about her tasks, keen to contribute with her initiative to the success of the work, while working in a team.

In my years at the Madrid School of Architecture, I have known other students with talent equivalent to Marta´s, but few of them demonstrated the genuine intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm she has got. She is not satisfied with producing what is required. She listens, and challenges her abilities by rethinking, reworking and ultimately producing a more meaningful response.

I have no doubt that Marta Moreno would prove herself to be a great asset to any studio, being able to bring together a very strong theoretical and technical approach and the experience of real work, as well as a creative and sensitive view. If you have any queries or extra info, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Emilio Tuñón Dr. Architect.

Full professor at the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM). Polytechnic University Dept. of Architecture Projects. Francqui Chair 2015 at Hasselt University (Belgium). Former Jean Labatut Visiting professor at Princeton School of Architecture (2008 2009 2010). Former Eliot Noyes Visiting professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design (2006).

Located in an unbeatable natural setting, the hut is build with the greatest respect and care to the environment in which it is introduced. Its dimensions and situation are strictly determined by the place and the orientation. The hut rests on three stones in a 2.40 by 3.00 meters clear of juniper and small palm trees, protected species of the zone which surround the hut in its four sides. Orientated to the West (265ºN) its position is essential since it is designed as a solar calendar.

Cabanon 1005 is designed as a solar calendar where the path of the san and the sunbeams inclination on the solstices and equinox make the rules for each volumetric decision that it’s made. Therefore, the sun and the orography (which could interfere the arrival of the sun in the hut) is strictly studied for the exact situation of each of the holes and the inclination of the roof creating a play of light and shadow in the interior.

Wood becomes the central element of the hut for being an efficient, sustainable, recyclable, light, insulating, hard and durable material; considering it the only option to minimize the impact of the construction on its environment. The woods are carefully chosen for structure, coverings and furniture; the construction is made in-situ in an artisanal way by local carpenters. The hut is thermally insulated and has natural ventilation by aluminum portholes one of which is recycled of an antique boat.

Madrid, Spain

The intervention takes place in an apartament from the old colonies build by the Board of Military Houses between 1928 and 1959. The space of 70 sqm was concieved as a worker’s house with a classic arrangement: entrance hall, corridor, independent kitchen and three bedrooms opening to Principe de Vergara Street.

The space is divided in two large “rooms” by the bearing wall that runs through the house. On the one hand, the openings in the facade are visually released, linking the living room and the master bedroom. On the other hand, the kitchen and the bathrooms articulate the central axis of the house being the link between the principal and the secondary spaces where the access and the storage device is collected. The secondory space, flexible and dynamic, has a big porthole giving contrast to the rigorous order of the rest of the house.

WONDERLAND SCHOOL

REschool 2018 Architecture Competition

Authors: Marta Moreno and Ricardo Fernández

Organizing Entity: Volume Zero

Location: Casamance - Senegal Date: January 2019

Children are curious by nature, everything is a wonder to them. When conditions allow children to satisfy curiosity through safe, self-initiated, and playful exploration, learning occurs naturally. Therefore, its architecture should not only give shelter to education activities but also be resource for teaching and learning.

The school is located on Carabane; the last major island (52 km2) in the mouth of Casamance River in south-west Senegal. “Il faut s’armer de patience pour rejoindre l’île de Carabane” is a common French phrase that describes the difficult accessibility of the island despite the seemingly close proximity to its neighbouring communities.

The proposal aims to link the architectural design with the site and the educational system being coherent and real. It is based on the Impluvium one of the most interesting traditional systems to collect rain water around Casamance River, and constructed with local materials such us earth briks, mangrove and bamboo what reduces costs and construction time. The impluvium becomes the infrastructure for the innovative learning environment (based on Rosan Bosch six learning zones) and dealing with the behaviour of natural phenomena.

Around and above it everything becomes something to wonder about, a resource of learning. It creates settings for children and community to engage where learning happens all the time, anywhere and allows everyone to participate.

1. THE MOUNTAIN

Based on one-way modes of instruction, it is the place to debate and comunicate.

2. THE CAVE

Promoting individual lear ning this are the places to retire, be alone and focus.

3. THE CAMPFIRE

Is where team work, dialogue and cooperation happens. Therefore they are noisy and animated.

4. THE WATERING HOLE

This is the place for creativity and innovation where student search and exchange.

5. HANDS ON

Learn by doing is the key for this spaces. The place to create and manipulate.

6. MOVEMENT

A place to learn through body expression promoting a high level of movement and energy.

ALCORCON FRONTIER

University: Polytechnic University of Madrid. ETSAM

Course: Master’s degree

Professor: Juan Herreros / Guillermo Sevillano

Location: Madrid

Year: 2016 - 2017 Design: Individual

There are places on the periphery of Madrid that need to be reinvented urgently.

The growing abandonment of the industrial area of Alcorcón allows us to glimpse this territory as a desert with a clear border. Understanding the border as the boundary between two opposites in density, complexity, diversity and scale A thin geographical line where the old and the new, the known and the unknown meet and set limits. To one side the city of Alcorcón and the other the industrial area, obsolete and depopulated.

An area that needs an immediate, wild, unrestricted colonization in which the protagonists will be new settlers of pioneering spirit who will develop their creativity through the construction of prototypes. These prototypes will house workshops where new models will be designed, producing a progressive and exponential expansion over time, similar to a canon. All this taking as reference the colonization of the West of the United States and distilling its interesting architectural characteristics.

The prototypes are designed to adapt to existing industrial buildings according to the needs of the programs they host and the specific characteristics of the building they colonize. It gives rise to a great diversity of spaces and programs coexisting and creating synergies.

SELFIE CITY VIENNA LEOPOLDSSTAD

Feed the town! UFO [Urban Farming Organization] Vienna Vienna wants to bring together the complex issue of agricultural production and habitation with 21st century high tech industries for a successful citymaking in peripheral areas.

Set in the suburban industrial area of Leopoldsstadt, in the northeast of Vienna, with strong preexistent infrastructural conditions and a rich industrial architectural heritage, UFO explores that complex space, physically and socially, that are our cities’ limits. Its intention is to establish a mixed–use area that takes advantage of the existing masterplan for a High-Tech Park in the former Siemens headquarters and merge it with the Austrian tradition of small urban gardens, taking over what for years has been a barren landscape. UFO wants to propose new ways of adressing urban planning to design productive urban landscapes that can be sustainable and efficient themselves, as well as contribute to the rest of the city. Here, it is all about food production in the small scale, but in a big scale cooperative basis, made in the city by the citizens. Feed the town is its motto.

IT´s ALL THERE

UFO (Urban Farming Organization)

Vienna wants to bring together the complex issue of agricultural production and habitation with 21st century high tech industries for a successful citymaking in peripheral areas. Set in the suburban industrial area of Leopoldsstadt, in the northeast of Vienna, with strong preexistent infrastructural conditions and a rich industrial architectural heritage, UFO explores that complex space, physically and socially, that are our cities’ limits.

ALL the DATA

Factors that influence the process of creation of the city [infrastructure, heritage, land prices, density, protected areas] are brought together in a single parametric model.

Its intention is to establish a mixed–use area that takes advantage of the existing masterplan for a High-Tech Park in the former Siemens headquarters and merge it with the Austrian tradition of small urban gardens, taking over what for years has been a barren landscape.

TIME is the KEY

UFO wants to propose new ways of adressing urban planning to design productive urban landscapes that can be sustainable and efficient themselves, as well as contribute to the rest of the city. Here, it is all about food production in the small scale, but in a big scale cooperative basis, made in the city by the citizens. Feed the town is its motto.

This model is analyzed under the element of time as a prediction of future transformations, considering the city a dynamic and living environment that needs to adapt to constantly changing conditions.

PIXELIZE mix the COLOURS

Providing more the tools for citymaking than a closed design itself. For cities are made in time, are made by its citizens, are made by routines, facing the complexity of making a city livable with the need for economic and industrial activity. Therefore, we investigated the existing infrastructure and industrial heritage, the social and economic routine and the ways to insert the new productive landscape within them. Also, urban typologies and its associated indicators in energy consumption, waste production and spatial needs were investigated. Through a parametrical model that brings all of them together and explore their transformation in time as the project is gradually implemented, coming out with the best solution.

The social dynamics and agents, from the citizen to the administration or the industry, are essential to build up a strong social tissu that can really support an effective productive process and integrate it succesfully with the traditional city dynamics.

FURNITURE & DESIGN

University: Illinois Institute of Technology Course: Seminary / Workshop

Professor: Frank Flurry

Location: IIT Shop

Year: Fall 2014

Design: Individual

This course of furniture was presented as a real challenge for me. The workshop included the use of traditional furniture construction techniques including the use of hand and power tools.

The course was structured in the construction of three objects each of them more complex. The first was the construction of a box using different finger joints (spline and miter).

The second exercise consisted in the reproduction of an Ulmer stool (stool designed by the designer of the Bauhaus Max Bill in 1955 and made by vitra to this day) with this exercise we also tested technical techniques of finishing and varnishing.

The last exercise was a personal design for which I decided to work on a detachable and versatile coat rack according to the necessities. It supposed a real challenge with which had to learn to handle complex tools.

The Ulmer consists of six pieces; Three main boards that form the structure braced by a cylinder and supported on two legs.

The box is made by joints at 45 ° glued and reinforced by angles. The lid is sliding and is completely flush.

The joint of the main structure must be solved very accurately. The finger joints offer the piece a high strength joint.

2. The Ulmer Stool

The coat rack is designed as a versatile and detachable furniture to be transported. It is composed of a trunk that is separated into two pieces of approximately 1 meter each that is kept vertical thanks to four pieces of wood placed at an angle such that allow stability of the whole.

The trunk has in each of its four sides 10 perforations where each of the branches fit that the user can decide to place according to taste and needs. In total 40 pieces made to measure but at the same time interchangeable.

SYMPHONY OF TIME

University: Illinois Institute of Technology

Course: Cloud Studio / Studio 9

Professor: Susan Conger

Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA

& & & & & &

Year: Fall 2014

Design: Individual

The exercise proposed by Professor Susan Conger was to make a personal map of our impressions the first few weeks in Chicago. My decision was to make a symphony of time. Seventeen days with their 24 hours, represented in seventeen staves; seven musical notes translated into seven parameters that were the determinants of those days in Chicago: company, language, transportation, architecture, knowledge, time and entertainment. Each one of them with an ascending scale translated at the same time in rhythms, in a series of scores that can be played with any instrument and that when listening it is possible to interpret the different hours of the day and the frequency of activity of each day .

Thank you!
