PROLOGUE

Nadia Giménez Vázquez

The most important thing that you will read next is the profile of a person who really loves what she does, and rejoices in the pleasure of creating from sensory experience. "Feet why do I want them if I have wings to fly" is a famous phrase by the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, whom I admire a lot, written in 1953.

Hi! I am Nadia Gimenez Vazquez, an architect graduated in 2021 from the Faculty of Architecture, UdelaR. Montevideo, Uruguay. I characterize myself for being a proactive and multidisciplinary person. In all areas of my life, I enjoy planning and meeting goals. Maybe it is because I was born in a small city, Salto, Uruguay, and I left my city as a teenager in order to fulll my goals, and my career as an Architect. What also led me to have the ability to establish communicational relationships from a young age and to live with people from other places. Due to the Architecture trip that takes place in my country, I had the opportunity to visit 35 countries in 2019, and their respective outstanding architectural works. I have the ability to lead and work in crowded teams. My interests are very diverse, as long as they refer to a general culture that contemplates the new diversity of today's world.

01 ANACAHUITA HOLISTIC RELAXATION CENTER 2021 Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo,UdelaR. Trabajo Final de Carrera “TFC” PROGRAM: HolIstic relaxation center INSTRUCTOR: Arq. Virginia Delgado PERSONAL WORK ARCHITECTURE IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC

Anacahuita is an intervention in the landscape, where the human being can take refuge in the shelter of the rock in a primitive way, there you can feel that you belongs to the environment in your own micro climate of well-being. Nature is part of the whole, and the psyche structures it. This holistic relaxation center is nothing more than a pause, a break with everyday alienation, an opportunity to explore and explore yourself. It will provide the user with the necessary balance to allow experiences appropriate to their physical and mental needs. Botany and neuroscience are the basis in this relaxation process, to accompany the user's journey, stimulating their senses in such a way that they can decide what they need to experience at all times. With architecture of the organicist style, the site is respected, and the emphasis on the sensorial will provide the necessary conditions for the building infrastructure, while the native wild ora will complement the visual and the aroma. As a consequence they will make well-being simply a matter of feeling it.

Its location takes place in the Canteras el Terrible, Salto, Uruguay. Created by human beings and technology in 1977. Huge machinery and kilos of dynamite were introduced into the bowels of the place to extract the necessary material for the construction of the binational complex of Salto Grande, and in its wake, nature was lling it with water that ows permanently from its springs. They are located 25 km from the city and 10 km from the Salto Grande dam, their average depth ranges between 12 and 15 meters, with average temperatures in winter from 15º to 25ºc. Since 1990 it became a Uruguayan Heritage. In its interior it has one of the greatest riches of fresh water that emanates from natural springs of the Guaraní Aquifer. The property was kept from the Salto Intendancy so that a tourist project based on a national reserve could be carried out, it did not prosper and therefore the mixed technical commission transferred it to the National Directorate of Cadastre.

SYSTEM IN THE LANDSCAPE The blueprint was conceived as a system in the landscape. A hybrid of nodes and routes that follow the same vernacular concept but differ in level of action, encompassing characteristic points that display a series of different activities in each instance.

-03-

Entrance to both quarries, due to dirt roads in poor condi on. This point is approached considering the circula on ﬂows for the en re project.

Private zone

Li le aﬀoresta on is recognized at this point. Due to the need to use the car to get to the place, this is determined as the most conducive area for the management of vehicle organiza on.

Public zone

Direct rela onship with the large quarry, which is currently the one that currently has the most public use for entertainment purposes. Centralized point, with intermediate al tude, beneﬁcial for the distribu on of energy supply services of various kinds. Lowest point in rela on to topography. It is beneﬁcial with respect to visuals, in interac on with both quarries.

PLAN Due to the management and hybrid prole of the project, whose main premise is the route and approach to the land, it is difcult to think of a single built block. It is for this reason that it is resorted to adopt the solution of breaking up the program in systems that make up the situations sought in the user.

SENSORY SPACES Through the rsthand experience of being able to feel the place, the user discovers in the establishment this world of complementary therapies through the possible routes, thus questioning an alternative path to the responses of traditional medicine.

LANDSCAPE A selection of virtues related to the existing use and topography is proposed. Always operating from the modus operandi of respect for the ecosystem, also integrated by social processes and daily life that take place in the Quarries.

INFRASTRUCTURE The general design of the building's structure depends on a framework of curved corten steel beams added to a succession of belts that contain the basalt rock gabions extracted from the site. Everything arises by ritualizing the heat necessary for the program used in a cave-like shelter.

-08-

-09-

A series of curved beams with continuous section proles is arranged that contain another series of beams with a shorter separation distance, and a smaller section that will contain the basalt rock gabions. All this supported on reinforced concrete blocks that will accompany the unevenness and shape of the main curved beam.

02 YAC-WWF WWF Observation cabins 2021 YOUNG ARCHITECTS COMPETITION CONTEST WWF OBSERVATION CABINS TEAM: Arq.Valentina Massud, Arq.Cesia Campos,Arq.y Mg. Urbanism Carolina Páramo, y Ecological policy Carmen Alvarez. PERSONAL WORK

Considering that wetlands are the most diverse ecosystems in the world, we are based on the concept that many species use the wetland resource as a refuge in order to procreate due to the safety and well-being that these offer them to be a generally inaccessible terrain. This is why the concept of refuge is prioritized for all living beings, and that the ows and dynamism of the coexistence of all species will be respected. The versatility of landscapes within the same ecosystem such as the wetland shows us situations such as: Wooded area: Carbon dioxide absorption, permeability of rain on the ground, Sponge wet zone: allows the river not to overow and acts as a ltering sponge for all living microorganisms. That the river maintains the water in times of drought. The environmental service must continue its course, the cycle must not be broken, and we are going to implant ourselves, mimicking the cycles and respecting the courses.

We use furniture to motivate the preservation and reproduction of species. -Houses for birds in trees -rocks for amphibians in some points of the wetland that accompany the water viewpoints -Vegetable species to shelter reptiles such as medium-sized shrubs -Hotel of bees or insects That they will be found at the information points determined on the route where there may be a pause that articulates the paths of the passerby. The program is made up of the three types of private observatories: AIR WATER LAND And the central service blocks will articulate and respond with the same logic as the small observatory devices.

-12-

PLAN The user is guided through passages between the central service units and the observation points. Through these passages are the P points, made up of elements such as bee hotels, or bird houses that will be integrated to motivate the preservation and reproduction of the species and to create an enriching and educational experience for the visitor. You will also nd QR codes to scan and learn about the wetlands and the project walkthrough.

-13-

Wetlands are a gravitational centre; a meeting point for species from different habitats and a biodiversity mine from which humans, although often unawarely, depend.

Orbetellos’s variable water level, seasonal transformations and fauna’s migration patterns resemble the mutability and dynamism of the elements that compose the design of this project.

The nodes adapt to Orbetello’s relentless changes, with for example oating water observatory cabins that always allow for a view at water level. In addition, the air and earth nodes offer different panoramic views at various heights, considering universal accessibility.

ANIMAL FLOW SCHEME DEPENDING ON THE SEASON

LANDSCAPE This project allows the visitor to understand the true value of wetlands and to get fully immersed in their complex ecosystems through a journey across air, water and earth observatory cabins in the WWF Oasis of Orbetello. With the ultimate goal of taking part in the ecosystem without interrupting its course, visitors are guided through paths between the central services units and the observation nodes.

ELEMENTS OF DESIGN We focused the energy on the different behavior of the elements destined for the observatories, this gave us as a result three absolute and different forms. With this, they assure us exactly what they are looking for in the environment that surrounds them. Each typology behaves in the same way in terms of facades and the relationship with the landscape, maintaining harmony with the natural reserve in which they will be located.

-17-

Each element is represented by a shape: EARTH: SQUARE AIR: CIRCLE WATER: TRIANGLE This refers to the absolute and distinguished of each situation that makes up the environment, as special nodes acupuncture is done in the eld, arranging these three types of observatory.

MATERIALS Last, to be in harmony with the location and to avoid greenhouse emissions resulting from transportation, local materials have been chosen. Gavions, containers of stones retained with wire mesh, compose both the nodes and the central units. Then the use of a connecting material such as these vertical elements in succession of the paths, which provide a sign of continuity of the project for the user.

03 MERCADO MODELO Model market remodeling contest 2018 MONTEVIDEO PUBLIC CONTEST MERCADO MODELO TEAM: Arq.Belen Dalmaso, Arq.Manuel Berke,Arq.Mg. Urbanism Daniel Espinoza, Arq. Nadia Gimenez. PERSONAL WORK

The idea consists of the implantation of a "Seed" within this strategic point of the urban fabric of the city of Montevideo. It is presented as a large green park that functions as a reactivator of the area and as an attraction for new activities and services. This seeks to reverse the advanced state of deterioration that the current program and its dynamics have generated over time. In order to reduce trafc congestion and bring this area back to life, the creation of a new pedestrian macro block is proposed. It, associated with new sustainable systems that range from urban mobility to environmental sustainability, points to the future of an integrated and efcient city in all its aspects, where the human scale predominates and that allows an appropriation of this space by the citizens and their different groupings.

The interior of the project displaces a series of services on the sides, maintaining the same open plan logic as outside, prioritizing free circulation and the pedestrian walkway. The center of the building materializes a crack in the oor, which interprets the idea of breaking with the continuity of what has already been established. Taking Lina Bo Bardi's sesc de pompei as a reference, it is about understanding space as a hybrid and suitable for everyone. A space where it is pleasant to hang out, have a coffee, and interact with the services and neighbors of the neighborhood. Historically, the model market was a meeting point for all who live in that place, it was the Sunday walk, so we did not want to change those ows, but rather address them to give them the importance they deserve.

-22-

-23-

PUBLIC SPACES The sector has elements with high potential for visibility and urban development, but it does not achieve a balance between existing interests, due to a lack of comprehensive planning. The private ones are favored to the detriment of the residents of the neighborhood and its public space. The residential quality of the environment and its public space are threatened by the overload of market ows. To take advantage of the potential of the sector, it is necessary to improve the public space, its continuity and reinforce the identity of the neighborhood.

-24-

EXTERIOR PLAN Outside the delimited polygon we made the decision to distribute the program according to noise pollution, coming from avenues. On the other hand, the amount of vegetation that predominates in the project meant that there was a real emphasis on sunlight according to the type of vegetation selected for each zone.

PLANTA EXTERIOR Esc.:1:3000

-25-

INTERIOR PLAN The programmatic distribution based on the recycling of the Mercado Modelo is developed from a free plant and conservation of the existing structure, in order to maintain the essence of the "market", where the only limitation of going through it will be the existence of a mirror of water that will guide the user.

The building dates from 1937 and complies with a strong marked art deco aesthetic. This is why the existing lines for remolding are maintained. The use of a main intervention is used as the focus of the central space, which may be the work of a new competition or a design clearly thought out for this establishment but which will continue to respect the initiative of the art deco guidelines, hopefully being an element of inspiration the existing stained glass on the main façade.

04 MNAV National museum of visual art. 2021 Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo,UdelaR. PROGRAM: Museum INSTRUCTOR: Arq. Marcelo Gualano PERSONAL WORK REVIVAL REMODELING

This project is about a remodeling of an existing building in the city of Montevideo. Which is conditioned by being at a lower level than street level. So it is surrounded by retaining walls and very tall trees around it. As a main strategy, it is proposed to add a oor over the existing building, which dialogues with the preexisting ones through a central patio that unies and opens that walled cube to give place to light in a transitional patio, which was designed so that in turn contain short-lived outdoor exposures. make wellbeing simply a matter of feeling it.

On the other hand, it seeks to amplify the visuals on the second level of the service spaces such as the cafeteria, through the resource of extrusion of volumes, complementing with angles that take advantage of the sunlight. Unlike the traditional idea that museums should be dark and shady places to enhance and take care of works of art, in this case, it is sought to make the most of sunlight in instances where possible, in order to provide a pleasant place for the user walk.

SITE

Av Julio Herrera y Reissig:

Pje. Ernesto Laroche:

We maintain a discreet income respecting orthogonal preexistences, using the existing garden as a visual and interactive porosity ﬁlter.

Continue the methodology of plan joints, which, extruded in volumetry, provide a MuseumPedestrian link that gives the piece prominence.

Av Tomás Giribaldi:

Fachada este- Cancha de Bochas:

We implemented the project with emphasis on this Av, taking advantage of the structure that articulated the volume towards this façade, thus alternating building area between landscaped predominance.

The interaction that we create with the surrounding environment was designed mainly at the pedestrian level, with a slight angle on the ground that invites the user to be part of the place.

SPACES Boxes are established to contain ephemeral exhibitions, and thus be able to create diverse microclimates within the same exhibition.

-32-

INFRASTRUCTURE Maintaining the old building as recycling benets us in terms of structures since they are in good condition and can be reused. The cafeteria program on the new rst oor of the building offers the best views of the park, in addition to being on the north facade and receiving all the sunlight at sunset.

-33-

MULTIPURPOSE BOX Regarding the preexistence that it is decided to maintain in order to STRUCTURAL USE, it is decided to provide the objective of meeting point to what is today the central skylight, creating a glazed cubicle that offers different space possibilities, adding rail infrastructure that support the versatility of space.

-34-

The synergy that this central intervention achieves is the required dynamism that needs to be motivated in the areas that refer to art, and the building expresses it.

05 LAS GAVIOTAS Housing for an independent client 2021 Freelance work PROGRAM: residential TEAM: Arq. Nadia Gimenez & Arq. Mg. Daniel Espinoza PERSONAL WORK

ARCHITECTURE IN THE SOUTH OF CHILE

This house was requested in order to fulll a dream, the dream of the desired house. The clients: a young couple who come to us with a proposal obtained by a company of standardized houses, with the request to personalize it more to their requirements and hopefully it is more appropriate and belonging to the place of location. Luckily, clients are the ones who come up with a list of specic ideas and requests but without any limitation to creativity, but rather empowering us to explore. What is peculiar about this draft is that it would work remotely. From Uruguay to Chile, through virtual platforms and didactic workshops. By then the rst thing to be decided is to request a study of the terrain and topography, which would give us the rst guidelines. Then we asked the client for a sequence of photos of the place and the views that they liked the most. In order to feel like them in that place, and better understand the layout on the ground.

The solution found responds to the specied guidelines to differentiate the rest area from the recreational area and services. The house converges in a central, node point, which becomes the main access and invites the user to choose a path, the public or the private one. Then, the free-plan uidity in the rest area is transformed into a programmatic composition system that meets the accessible and spacious areas requested by the client for their kitchen and living room. On the other hand, the private area responds to an efcient spatial organization in each bedroom and particularly in the main one, which is where the energies are focused to nd the harmony of the owner in his place of rest and well-being.

-40-

INTERACTION WITH THE ENVIRONMENT The project is located in a place with native forest, which is tried to respect with the layout on the land in such a way that the house embraces it. Another important consideration for the nal location is the sunlight of the house, allowing the busiest rooms during the day to have a north facade to counteract the cold of the place.

DESIGN ELEMENTS Regarding the client's requirements, we try to include every detail to the program. Always considering the appropriate programmatic proposal that tries to balance each request in a unique and exclusive design for this particular situation. On the other hand, efciency is treated as a fundamental doctrine so that these requirements nd the best materialization in the surrounding ecosystem.

-43-

Each enclosure is carefully thought out, in this case the storage spaces are located in residual spaces that absorb the diagonal lines of the house, such as the cupboard and the loggia. On the other hand, the walking closet is an enclosure that makes the most of its area to be able to have enough space to store various objects.

-44-

INTERIORS The interiors are made up of elements of warm colors accompanying the colorimetry of the wood, the main material of the house. Each wing of the house is conditioned in such a way that the feeling of refuge is constant.

06 FALCONERI POP UP STORE Italia. 2021 PROGRAM: Pop up store TEAM: Arq. Sreelakshmi Gopinath, Arq. Gabriela Franco, Arq. Pamela Barakat, Arq. Adrianna Spence, Arq. Nadia Gimenez. TEAM WORK

ARCHITECTURE FOR FASHION

This project was a request for the course held at YACademy, Bologna, Italy. It corresponds to the design of a pop up store for the renowned Falconeri brand. In the time we had to research to create the project, we discovered that one of the strongest points in the brand's identity was its origin. This is why we rely on the interpretation of the mountains that exist in Mongolia, the place where they get their rst quality cashmere. And we continue the formal exploration in that sense of the smoothness of the curves.

To continue with the general idea of the layout of the project we decided to classify it as “road” so that it is understood that the experience of entering will be a walk, a moment to enjoy and contemplate. At the same time, we wanted the project to have a direct interaction with the client and their senses, that is why we added textures and hammocks to achieve the objective. Another point that we try to achieve refers to the ability for the store to open up to the public space and to welcome new customers through street furniture. Inside the store has hanging furniture to release the plan and to achieve the light look that was sought.

CONCEPT We wanted to create a space that would make clear the origin of Falconeri's garments and creation processes. They get their ne threads from the elds of Mongolia, where the landscape is mostly mountainous. Which inspired us to use the curve as a formal exploration method. It had to be respectful of the implementation and also give something to the urban vision. It also had to be able to offer people interaction with it, so we thought about tactile textures that would make them part of the whole experience.

MODULE The idea is to be able to make an easy and executable assembly in a short time, it must be foldable to facilitate the execution. That is why we present a modular analysis of dimensions suitable for being transported by a single person, to be later assembled with the multiplicity of said modules.

-52-

THE ROAD The formal development had to make clear the uidity sought to highlight the softness of the brand's raw material, as well as the concept that we decided to promote with the development of this pop-up store on the continuity in the road to cashmere. It is very important to highlight the sequence of experiences that correspond to the search for the perfect material to manufacture unique pieces, so this is what we use to develop the formal volume.

-53-

PLAN FLOOR The plan is designed to be exible in order to modify the area and expand it when you need it, depending on where you settle. It also has a clear reading of transparency in its transition, since its possible routes are ambivalent and have the ability to present entertaining alternatives with the same piece. On the other hand, its transversal sections allow visibility through the piece, ltering information for the passer-by and thus making it an attractive idea to enter through curiosity.

-54-

VARIETY The exibility that allows the use of a modular device gives us as a result diverse possibilities of architectural plans. Maintaining the intentions of continuity and promenade that were sought in the base design.

-55-

PUBLIC SPACE The implantation in the public space makes the general object be seen as an exhibitor, as an attractor of the passerby's attention. It seeks to be friendly with heights, but extravagant with its formal organicism. It also achieves a volumetric opening capable of making the idea of an invitation clear. Participation and inclusion, it seeks to provide additional public space to the existing one through hammocks and cozy seats.

-56-

FURNITURE The designed furniture continues with the general reading of the project, trying to free the oor from obstructions in order to better perceive the modulation of full and empty spaces. It also provides visual lightness by being elevated in such ne metal proles.

-57-

BRAND We leave in evidence the integrated aspect of the brand that we want to emphasize, we manage with the images to convey to the client what they were looking for: practicality and harmony. The response was successful, and the design can come to life in reinterpreted situations from this base.

07 AMIGOS DEL CAFÉ Coffee shop 2021 MALL PLAZA LOS RIOS, VALDIVIA. CHILE TEAM:Arq.Mg. Urbanism Daniel Espinoza, Arq. Nadia Gimenez. PERSONAL WORK

The café is located inside a building, at the main access to a supermarket and the Mall Plaza de los Ríos, so its expansion had to be in agreement with its administration. In this way, it is requested to generate a new autonomous and independent element of the main structure of the building. This is how autonomy is achieved, adding a metal structure that allows new materials to be attached to it, making the expansion like coffee in its entirety acquire an ephemeral capacity to disappear just by disassembling the pieces.

Considering that @amigosdelcafevaldivia offers its c u s t o m e r s a n e x q u i s i t e @cafetostadoranchogrande coffee made with grains from Panama. We set ourselves the goal of designing a project that manages to transmit these virtues. Origin and belonging is what tells the story in this initiative. It seeks to create a cozy atmosphere with a large cypress wood counter. Along with warm textures and soft lights. New leafy vegetation such as native ferns from the Valdivian jungle, which will contribute to creating a fresh and harmonious environment. Thus achieving a small corner conducive to sharing and enjoying a good coffee.

MOODBOARDS We use this resource to be able to capture from the beginning a summary of what was being discussed together with the client. He provided a hand drawing and photos of his new coffee maker, the rest we combined with a couple of textures that we thought represented what he wanted to capture.

-61-

PLAN FLOOR The oor plan is distributed in a U-shape, which favors ows and leaves the visual impact of the main façade free of obstructions. With the expansion, it is possible to add six more chairs, which is equivalent to six more clients that can be counted on at the same time, this directly favors sales. On the other hand, with the resource of vinyl ooring and wallpaper on one wall, it is possible to establish visual limits that highlight the coffee area, providing textures that denote its identity.

-62-

The ows and dynamics of time improve with the new layout since the spatiality is enlarged, and the work circuits were redesigned to optimize both time and efciency when serving a new client. We also brought the exhibition space for coffee products sold by the brand closer, so that it has more visual contact with the customer.

METAMORFOSIS

Personal entrepreneurship 2020

Accesories brand Craft work with resin and dried flowers PERSONAL WORK

This project arises from my interest in fashion, I managed to connect the manual work that architecture gave me with the creation of pieces that capture a bit of the real world, of what is there and we see daily, but with a touch of prominence in the essential, nature. The creation process was experimental, with trial and error. Until reaching a quality commercial product for those who seek to carry a bit of nature with them in their outt.

To create the basic pieces with which you then move on to the assembly and composition of the accessories, opt for a simple procedure. First I select owers, leaves, small elements that can be dissected in a press, then they are preserved and then used in the resin stage. Finally when the pieces are already dry I start to create sketches to test designs that integrate all the predetermined concept.

The oral compositions are thought in each new collection with a different logic. All are devised from ideation sketches and then materialized in the charms.

BROKERS

Fashion store- Menswear 2021

Clothes and accesories brand First window dressing job CLIENT: Martin.P

This project is based on the redesign of a showcase for the Uruguayan Brokers brand. We start with a detailed research study of the brand and its positioning in the market. Then we analyze its target audience and the shortterm goals of the brand, since it is a new brand that opts for a media commercial strategy, which has been working very well for it. This is how we decided to give the window a new face trying to play with the cold/warm concepts and the playful urban style that characterizes the brand.

To begin with, we decided that the window should be displayed with much more emphasis. The store is located inside a gallery, and what was seen did not reect the risky and extroverted nature of the brand. So we decided to make proposals to the client for neon lighting that would cause more impact and would t very well with the design of the clothes they were exhibiting this season. We also used metal in some delicate chains as a background texture, and some thread texture in warm colors for contrast.

-71-

BEFORE The situation at the beginning makes clear the need to improve the scenographic box, since it is the primary display of the store and must reect at least some characteristic of the brand in general and then the theme of the collection to be exhibited, prioritizing key fashion.

-72-

T h e c o n c e p t u a l compositions that we proposed to the client are based on their identity and the colors of the new collection. Making it clear that what is sought is to break the rules of preestablished traditional dress and make the client look for that unique situation as their clothes.

-73-

The nal showcase resulted in the attraction of the largest number of public. And to represent the brand on the real stage on a human scale.
