Portfolio - Selected works 2017 MCH: Master in collective housing UPM and ETH

|1|


ABOUT

The master in collective house is a partnership between UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich). It was conducted in English and took place in Madrid, Spain throughout 2017. It consists of both seminars and workshop weeks. During the seminars are given theatrical information by the leaders of each specialty plus guests. Meanwhile, the workshops have the duration of 5 days each given by the workshop leader. During the workshop, it is needed to develop one project from scratch either individual or in a group. The point is to simulate different situations that one architect pass thought in the office routine. That is why, in each workshop group is chose to not work with someone that the student has already worked on, this way the resilience skill is improved. Furthermore, push the student to the limit to develop a good project in a short time. After the workshop, the project is presented to a jury responsible to analyze and make critics. In addition, having workshop weeks running together with the specialties, it challenges the student to develop the time management skill. In the following pages, will be presented all the seven workshops results and some projects developed in the specialties. Within them, Anna Heringer’s workshop, Deplazes’ workshop, Montaner and Muxi’s workshop, Anne Lacaton’s workshop, Gmür’s workshop, Eberle’s workshop, Njiriç’s workshop and three specialty.

HIGH-RISE BUILDING Workshop leader Patrick Gmür Workshop assistant Rosario Segado Team Natália Sato and Daniel Alcalá Location Zürich, Switzerland Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

Cities are attractive place to live, cities are growing which brings about the land issue. Therefore the challenge is to place people in a small portion of land. High-rise building can be a solution to increase the urban density. However, this decision making brings many others challenges. Namely, issues related to vertical circulation, cost and optimization of the space. The project should make place for different sizes of apartments, within them: 1-room unit: 1½ -room unit: 2-room unit: 2½-room unit: 3-room unit: 4-room unit:

31m2 39m2 46 m2 53 m2 69 m2 85 m2

Moreover, the surface area of the individual floors should not exceed 600m2 To sum up, the main idea was to create a high-rise building with a central core to optimize the space and give leisure spaces to the dwellers. In addition, the shape and height of the building is given by the views, sun orientation and the surroundings.

1

Furthermore, were placed ten units per floor in order to maximize the area. Another important point was the preference to small apartments over the big ones. Since, each time more, the household has been shrinking.

1st approach

References

The first approach was developing two different shapes of the building, focusing on the vertical circulation and the optimization of the floor ratio. The group developed two ideas, one had “L” shape, while the other one had a more irregular one.

The project has as reference two projects. “Torres blancas”, in Madrid , projected by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza (1961) which each unit has more than one direction and “Sky village” from MVRDV in Copenhagen (2008) that has different height the building, providing more views.

After analysing, the irregular shape model was chosen to be developed during the workshop week, since it had more potential and had less area of circulation, while the first one had 120m², the irregular one had 100 m². The irregular shape provides more than one orientation to the units, different views and has a central core with less corridor. Therefore, in 600m² per floor was possible placing 10 units and a common area where is located the vertical circulation. Following this approach, the building is compounded by 10 volumes that are attracted by the central core, which acts as a magnet. In addition the height of each block is different to provide views. Moreover, the group chose to place more small units over the big ones. Since the tendency is shrinking the household.

Diagrams The flats share the same hydraulic axis Moreover, the entrance of the units has this irregular shape to provide intimacy to the dwellers. This way the dwellers in the common area cannot see the door of the units.

In the common area, there is space to children playing, space to sharing things, laundry, leisure space and so on. Furthermore, the floors that have the same use, they are connected between them by some openings on the floor. This way, people can watch what is happening on the other floor (illustrated on the right).

BUILDING DEPTH Workshop leader Andrea Deplazes Workshop assistant Fernando Altozano Team Natรกlia Sato Location Sรฃo Palo, Brazil Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

The workshop was not made in a group. Each person was in charge to develop a typology with 100m2 and with a stipulated building depth. There were building depth of 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 meters. Therefore, the more is the depth, the less is the faรงade length. This topic is each time more approached when it is about the project within the city, since buildings are placed one beside another to increase the density in the urban areas. This workshop deals with qualities regarding circulation, access, sunlight, ventilation, facilities location, and intimacy has a dwelling according to its depth. The strength and weakness of each depth were identified to develop the housing typology. Meanwhile, the 6 meter deals with a narrow space with a lot of sunlight; the 12 meters has a shape similar to a square, there is no problem with the lack of sunlight nor intimacy; the 21m, on the other hand, mainly deals with the lack of light and circulation.

2

The work presented in the next pages is regarding the building depth of 21 m. Because of the depth, it was a challenge to bring inside the natural sunlight. Overall, some voids were placed to enable the light comes in and some strategies were taken to ensure the privacy inside of the housing.

The project has as the main topic the building depth of 21 meters. This implies to deal with the lack of light and ventilation.

The project has as reference both the Toyo Ito Mediatheque in Sendai and the House of the Future designed by Peter and Alison Smithson for the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition.

Besides, the area and the program were given as well.

The first reference brings about the round voids served by services that provide flexibility. Whereas, the second reference has the void as the main element that helps to organize the space, it comes about in a

Regarding the site, according to the characteristics of the project, the site had to respond and fit in this project instead of the other way around.

Strategy The strategy was based on round voids. Due to the lack of light, opening voids allow the light comes in. Moreover, these elements can provide flexibility to space by placing the fixed elements and let the space open to be adapted according to the use throughout time. Therefore, the staircase, lift, kitchen and bathrooms were placed in the round volume as fix structures.

After developing the typology with 21 meters depth, it was possible to notice one potentiality which was to place the building in the middle of the block since the voids could allow the entrance of light and ventilation.

Even though is located right in the middle of the block, there are some possible entrance.

THE BAND Urban Design Specialty Professor Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani Assistant Bernardo Ynzenga Team Natália Sato, Maria Alejandra Pelaez and Tais de Morais Location Madrid, Spain Project Year 2017 Credits 4.0 ETCS Duration of the final work 5 months In this specialty, historical and theoretical information about urban design were given to provide knowledge to the students to develop a new neighbourhood with about 20ha of area, close to “Casa de Campo”, located in Madrid, Spain. It belongs to a city but has its own characteristics and autonomy. In addition, the connections were taken into consideration, the buildings and the types of urban space in the outskirts of the city. It was compounded by both lectures and a final work The project was based on 5 layers: band, grid, street, patios, and borders. The neighbourhood connects to the surroundings, namely the Casa de Campo park, the surrounding neighbourhoods and the different topographic levels of the site through a band. The grid is based on the “Ensanche de Madrid” of 120X120m. The streets are divided into two. One is the main street in the east-west direction that concentrates commerce, car and bicycle traffic and has wider sidewalks. Whereas the other kind of street, is the one that gives access to the blocks. The second type of street also allow the circulation of cars and bikes but it has smaller dimensions and a more irregular trace. The patios that are private with collective maintenance. They shape a new pathway to the pedestrian with more intimacy atmosphere.

Finally, concerning the borders, the northern border is a buffer between the train line and the neighbourhood and the eastern border has a sports center, it is a transition zone in between the neighbourhood and the “casa de campo” park.

Layers The area is about 32,6 ha. It is located in Madrid, Spain. This plot is in between: the city to the west, the railway to the north, the “casa de campo� park to east.

Landscape and vegetal species found around Madrid.

Moreover, this area is considered in the outskirt of Madrid. The group built up a project of a new neighbourhood to this area which its main driver is the connection between the railway, casa de campo park and the city. Ultimately, the connection between this neighbourhood with the Madrid city center. However, the topographic characteristics of the site is a challenge to provide this connection, since it is not a flat plot. Location 0

To this end, were applied 5 strategies: band, grid, streets, pations and borders.

Band The band is an element that should connect the new neighbourhood to important points of the surroundings, namely Casa de Campo, the existing neighbourhoods and the area to the South that will probably be occupied in the future.

train station

The band is thought as a continuous path that sometimes touches the ground and sometimes is elevated, making room for public equipments, commerce or open covered spaces. Regarding the landscape, the band has different situations. When the band touches the ground it will have the atmosphere of a forest and reflect the landscapes of the northern surroundings of Madrid. On the points in which the band becomes an elevated slab, the idea is to use bushes and scrub found in the southern natural landscape around Madrid.

Equipments in the band 0

The band is an element continuous, which has three situations. One, when it is elevated and has equipment under it. The other one is when has some voids, enabling the natural light passing through. Finally, the other situation is when it touches the ground. At this point, it becomes a green path. It connects the whole plot with the surrounds respecting the different levels. It connects the higher levels with lowers

ones. The outcome of this decision making, the band as a continuous pedestrian path through all the equipment and services of the neighbourhood. In this sense, the railway in the north and the road on the east side of the plot is not a barrier anymore. The pedestrian has a safe pathway to walk through the neighbourhood until the “casa de campo� park.

Borders

The proposed grid dialogues with the Ensanche de Madrid, a plan developed for the city of Madrid during the 19th century.

The border plays an important role in this project. The east border is responsible for the connection between the neighbourhood, “casa de campo” park and the existing neighbourhood. They are transitional spaces to get into the new neighbourhood.

The blocks have 120x120m and there are 2 types of street, one with 16,0m of width and the other with 12,0m.

In the eastern part, were placed a sports center to provide a green connection to the “casa de campo” park and integrate the green spaces in the urban tissue. Meanwhile, the northern part is a buffer zone, between the neighbourhood and the railway. Dense trees were placed to minimizing the noisy provided by the train. In the western part, were placed an urban park to make a transition between the existing neighbourhood and the new one. Although there are some green spaces, the vegetation is not dense.

Patio The housing buildings are arranged in the blocks around patios. These patios are connected and they create a pedestrian pathway with a domestic atmosphere – a garden with flowers, small trees and lawns where people can hang out and children can play.

Overall, the northern border is a buffer zone, and both eastern and western act as transitional spaces: city-new neighbourhood and new neighbourhood-park.

Street The neighbourhood has 2 types of streets, creating different situations. The main street in the east-west direction that concentrates commerce, car and bicycle traffic and has wider sidewalks. This street has a clear axis that allows users to see the whole street from any point. The second type of street also allows the circulation of cars and bikes but it has smaller dimensions and a more irregular trace.

In both cases, the sidewalks are in the same level as the cars and bikes, creating a continuous path that is only distinguished by the use of different materials. It enables people to appropriate the parking space, when there is no car and help people who has locomotion’s problem.

Landscape

Project

According to the existing vegetation, the group searched some autochtonous species and selected them. The main idea was to divide them into four groups to be implemented in the patios, the pedestrian way, border and in the sports area.

The project encompasses those 5 layers. Within them, the band is the most important element that allows the connection between the new neighbourhood and its surroundings. With the band, people can walk through it as a continuous path through all the difference of levels. In addition, through the band, all the equipments are connected as well.

In addition, in the patios, the trees are more dense to provide shadow and some small plants with flowers were placed as well , in the streets they were both colourful and providers of shadow, whilst in the border they were more dense to act as a buffer zone between the neighbourhood. Finally, in the sport area, there were some which provide more shadows than others and there will be some trees which have fruits.

Regarding the buildings, their height follows the topography. On the northern portion of the site and the southern, the buildings are taller up to 8 stories, therefore the density will be higher. This decision making follows the topography since the lands in the northern and southern part are the highest when compare to the whole plot. In addition, it provides better views to the dwellers. That density decrease towards the center of the area, the lowest part of the site. The whole density of the project is 70 dwellers/ha.

Pronus yedoensis

To bring about different atmospheres the neighbourhood has patio blocks. The patios will be private with collective maintenance. Furthermore, the buildings have units with different dimensions that attend the demand of household compounds by 1 to 4 members. The main goal is to cover as much as possible the different demands. Moreover, the ground floor of the blocks has

SYMBIOSIS AND DISCORD Workshop leader Hrvoje Njiriç Workshop assistant Nieves Mestre Team Natália Sato and Georges El Hachen Location Split, Croatia Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

The aim of this workshop is to project a temporary housing to meddle class in the Diocletian Palace in Split, Croatia. This place is a touristic place where thousands of people pass through it all over the year. Moreover, the Disney side has to be shown in the project. Disney show the innocent morality, subliminal messages, that behind the fluffy characters and happy end, sexual harassment is acceptable, ugliness is immoral and so on. Therefore the project in Split should embody the Disney aspect as its discourse. Overall, the project was settled in the south-eastern quadrant of the Diocletian’s Palace, 17 centuries old palace/city where more than been a tourist place is a historical one.

4

The project made took into consideration the tourist aspect, more specifically, the Airbnb as a business. In addition, it integrates the tourist aspect with the preexistent constructions.

Disney side

2. Extrusions, Intrusions

Disney’s cultural legacy is not a utopian land of dreams and hope. It reflects contradictory disturbing aspects such as hidden sexual messages and phallic imagery. How can this side of Disney be translated into architectural terms and how does it reflect in design while relating to the site?

Public space articulates the whole project Intertwining the permanent historical edifications with the temporary housing facilities. Unifying two opposite but complimentary ideals, resulting in a close relationship between those elements. The idea of relationship, outside, inside. Inside of the wall, with the beautiful historical architecture and outside of the wall with the wonderful see view. Where the pedestrian path can go inside and outside of the wall through balcony.

The main concept of the intervention is to take lessons from dissecting disney’s philosophy and implementing them within the premises of the Palace. There were taken three ideas from Disney, namely: fertility, extrusion/Intrusion and metamorphosis.

A continuous system that starts as a simple handrail and stair to an observation deck and transforms gradually into a more complex interactive structure.

The project was based on “102 viviendas en Carabanchel” from Dosmasuno arquitectos and “WoZoCo” from MVRDV. Both of them have blocks attached to the main volume. In the project in Split, this attachement has as a target the airbnb as a rent space to tourists.

Tourist X Locals In less than a year 12.9 million tourists visited Croatia: 2.3 million in Split alone. Coexisting with 2.3 million tourists is not that simple: Who will occupy the new development within the walls of the Diocletian’s? is it tourists? Or locals? Or both? How to intertwine standard ways of living With business? Guest House concept? AirBnB style? Finding a way for the locals to benefit from the tourists’ presence and taking advantage of it instead of suffocating from a year round co-existence of millions of foreigners. A disneyland’s strategy of taking advantage of the visitors: such as cultural exchange.

the concepts already shown. To the east a housing development was implemented to host 42 dwellings for local households. To the south where the wall offers picturesque views to the sea a gallery is installed morphing between stair, promenade and observation deck. Tourist units are installed along the system functioning as inhabitable columns for the gallery. Regarding the urban strategy, there are two paths, one which is more touristic (orange) and the other one which is for the locals (red).

The design decisions were based on all of

DUNKIRK MASTER PLAN Workshop leader Anne Lacaton Workshop assistant Diego García Setien Team Natália Sato, Blanca Guillén and Marcela Valerio Location Dunkirk, France Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

The workshop focused on urban housing and on revamping the old industrial area. The concerning is regarding the sensation and quality of life of the spaces, to this end, collage was used as a tool to express the atmosphere. Later on, plans were developed The project is situated in Dunkirk, France in an old industrial area. The city hall predicts the development of this area as housing neighbourhood. Therefore, the challenge is, how should be dealing with the abandoned sheds? How should be the integrated to the ones. Overall, the project includes a master plan in a strategic area to the development of this area, which is in between the established city, previous part of the city hall plan to develop this area and now it was already developed, and the other area which will be developed further on. Mainly it is compounded by housing projects and it makes use of the maximum floor rate area to increase the density in this area.

In addition, flexibility is taken into account and the old sheds became commerce spaces to give support to the new dwellers.

Location

Story board

The area is located in Dunkirk, France. It is a strategical area in-between. Between the early stages of the master plan to the old industrial neighbourhood and the final stage of the master plan from the city hall. It is an area which connects both areas through bridges.

Privacy and protection

Interfaces

Inner core - emptiness

Cloister

Shared spaces

Interaction with the sky

Redundancy - Rehabilitation

Exchanges community

Reuse - filling the voids

Growth - re-opening

Premisses The area is compounded by sheds with around 7 meters height. Therefore, the premise adopted by the group was to increase the density by occupying the maximum floor rate instead of going up. In addition, a story board was made to understand the region and what would be the decisions make.

To begin with, the housing is treated as the shed to dialogue with the surroundings. To this end, some voids will be placed to allow the entrance of the light, moreover, these spaces work as thresholds. This enclosure brings about a more intimate place.

Finally, public spaces were treated as places to connect, provide views and space to people gather together.

In additions, as the sheds, the housing is flexible, allowing to change the use.

OGIGIA Energy & Sustainability Specialty Professor Javier García-German Team Natália Sato and Gonzalo Lozano Arce Location Moscow, Russia Project Year 2017 Credits 4.0 ETCS Duration of the final work 2 weeks

This specialty encompasses the opportunities that the design can provide to the building a better performance regarding thermodynamics aspects. The seminars are about the metabolic-logistical dimension of architecture, atmospheric-climatic approach to architecture, and durability of the building throughout time. The module focus on linking thermodynamics and ecology to architecture to find design solutions (such as spatial and material structure, program or perception) that are capable to preinitialise the performance of the building. This module is compounded by both lectures and a final work.

The project is situated in Moscow, therefore the most challenge topic is the cold weather during the winter. Strategies during winter and summer were implemented in a cube, as a starting point. In addition, the software “energy plus” was used to test and verify the relevance of the strategies implemented. Moreover, the human body was considered as a source of energy, that is why was studied the temperature of the human body according to their emotions.

Location: Moscow, Russia

The point was to create one “Ogigia”.It is an island mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey. Ogigia is the isolated island and a paradise, where everything is perfect

-Latitude: 55,75º North -Longitude: 37,63º East -Altitude: 156 m

The project is based on two works. The Peter Cook, Blow-up village, 1966 and Richard Rogers, Zip-up house, 1968. The first one has the telescopic structure that allows the building to change its shape.

Winter: Passive solar direction gain low mass (10)+Passive solar direction gain high mass (11)+Internal heat gain (9) Summer: Natural ventilation cooling (7)+Fan-forced ventilation cooling (8)+High thermal mass (3)

The zip-up house is compounded by units of a house. Therefore, the idea is to have these units of living that are movable and can be rearranged according to the weather circumstances.

Zip-up house

Climatic analysis According to the sun path, the South is the best position to get sun light. Therefore, if place the cube ( volume given as a starting point) in a way that instead of one façade, two façades receive sun light. Moreover, the rose wind points out that the wind predominant comes from the southwest and sometimes from northwest. In this perspective, it is better having one

façade to northwest and another one to southwest. As illustrates the diagrams below. In addition, most of the light is diffuse and the temperature, most of the year is low (less than -10ºC), only during the summer it is inside if the comfort zone. Therefore, the concern is how to keep the cube hot instead of providing solar protection.

BUILDING REFURBISHMENT Construction & Technology Specialty Professor Ignacio Fernández Solla Assistant Diego García-Setién, David Rutter and Archie Campbell Team Natália Sato, Oscar Rodriguez, Oscar Gilbert, Georges El Hachem Location Newman street, London Project Year 2017 Credits 4.0 ETCS Duration of the final work 5 months

The goal of this specialty is to understand three based realms: structure, envelope and services. Therefore, it is important to understand design and construction as one continuous process. This module is compounded by both lectures and a final work The work developed in this specialty was to choose one existed medium size building and change the envelope, structure and the system to transform it into a more efficient one. The building chosen by the group is located in Newman street, London. This building suffered a retrofit by Emrys Architects. This office decided envelope the building with limestone in the west façade end wood in the eats façade. However both of these materials are not resistant to the weather of London.

Overall, were implemented in this project new strategies and technology to increase its efficiency and provides ecological characteristics to the building.

Description

Current situation

Architect: Emrys Architects Size: 3250 sq m Location: West End, London Completion date : Jan 2012

The retrofit and conversion of a 1970s office building, which sits in a conservation area just north of Oxford Street, provided sixteen private and seven affordable residential apartments with office accommodation on the ground and lower ground floors.

The West End of London (commonly referred to as the West End) is an area of Central and West London containing many of the city’s major tourist attractions, shops, businesses, government buildings and entertainment venues, including the West End theatres.

The material used in this building were: limestone-clad elevation was placed in the west façade. Problems: Weathering may have a degrading effect on the appearance and structural

soundness of limestone. Factors include rain, snow, temperature, wind and atmospheric pollutants. Rainwater, especially in combination with atmospheric gases often resulting in acid rain can result in dissolution of the limestone, causing higher levels of salt movement within the stone structure.

Problems: Cons of Wood Exterior; maintenance wood has to be painted, stained and sealed. It is prone to twisting, rotting and bug infestation; pests the environmental and climatic conditions of London increases the risk that this natural material will attract pests.

The east façade has been rendered and timber clad with aluminum windows reinforcing the semi-industrial street scene.

Diagrams In order to achieve the comfort zone during summer days some strategies were implemented: green wall in the south patio and the green roof provide isolation and humidification in addition to water collection, it creates better environment through heat island effect reduction and cross ventilation via the openings implemented across the building and upper levels. On the other hand, during winter an air tight building is created. A high thermal mass absorbs sun heat and releases it at night. To the north, the patio was closed creating a microclimate with a

basement garden. To the east, the façade is transparent to provide maximum light. In addition, the windows in the east façade were oriented both to south to get sun heat and north to get northen light. Moreover, active systems such as the radiant floor heating generate heat and the insulation keeps it from dissipating. Regarding the shades: During summer, the west facade is fully exposed to sun heat whereas the east and north are shaded most of the day. In winter the condition is more extreme because the west facade is exposed for a longer time to sun and east and north facade are benefiting from less sun.

Winter

Summer Driversand client: The intention of our development is to target an elite high middle class clientele concerned with environmental issues and willing to live up to their principles with the aim of setting an example for future generations and contributing in saving the planet. all decisions pertaining to services, structure, envelope and program were focused on providing sustainable solutions while minimizing the carbon footprint of the building.

Structure

Systems

The structural system functions as follows:

The Rain water is collected from green roof, green wall, gutters and greenhouse during winter in addition the water from the sinks and showers, it is treated in the underground and re-used.

A grid of of columns, two loadbearing walls to north and south, a circulation core holding the building together and a Holedeck slab. A cantilevered steel frame is introduced for the greenhouse with bracing and tension cables. The whole system stands on a raft foundation.

Moreover, a geothermal heat pump system is installed to serve the building during winter and summer: in winter it heats the water for the radiant floor system and during the summer it cools the water.

Waste cycle

Even though the Holedeck system uses conventional concrete, it achieves a reduction in volume of concrete, steel consumption and time of execution. Therefore, there is also a reduction in the overall weight of the structure. concrete core concrete columns concrete load bearing walls holedeck slab metalic structure raft foundation

In addition, mechanical ventilation was used to control indoor air quality, excess humidity, outdoors, and contaminants. In a humid climate like London, it can also remove excess moisture from the air.

Service facilities can be reconfigured, without demolition or big interventions to the building, extending its life cycle. Due to the balance between volume and surface, the Holedeck slab can be thermally activated, acting as a radiant ceiling, taking advantage of its thermal inertia.

Volume, core, envelope Workshop leader Dietmar Eberle Workshop assistant Gustavo Rojas Team NatĂĄlia Sato Location Madrid, Spain Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

The workshop encompasses the time as a key element. How much does a building last? How much should it last? What would our building be when time passes by? The point is how to provide resilience to a building. In this sense, the building can receive different uses throughout time. To this end, 3 elements should be developed to provide flexibility. Namely, volume, core, and envelope. Therefore, the week was divided into 4. The first part each person developed a volume in one out of three sites. The next day, the architect developed and placed the core in the colleague’s volume. After, the architect elaborated the envelope of someone else’s project. Finally, the student built up one of the past three topics that has more interest in.

8

Those three sites had different characteristics. One is a plot located in the city center, in the corner. The other one, was in between two buildings and the last one, was on the outskirts of the city.

It is located in Calle del doctor castelo, two blocks away from Retiro park. The plot is a valued asset, that is why, as a starting point, the whole plot was filled to use the maximum floor rate, after that, some voids are opened to bring natural light and ventilation inside.

OR CASTELO

CALLE DEL DOCTO

The strategy was implementing different heights. The façade follows the average height of its neighbours and inside of the plot is higher. Furthermore, there is a patio close to the entrance. In addition, not only the volume itself has different heights but also the units. It means, that it is possible having units with a variety of heights, achieving double height.

In addition, some of the buildings that surround the plot have façade facing the interior of the block, for this reason, the voids were placed around the perimeter of the site instead of in the meddle of the site. This way, it allows the neighbours receive natural night as well.

Finally, there is a patio, at the end of the plot. This happens, because the other building has, as well, a patio in the end of the plot. Therefore, the building projected can share an interior patio with the neighbours.

Envelope The third step was to develop the envelope of both given site and volume. This site is located in La casa 10, close to Plaza Mayor. In the surroundings, the faรงade is mainly brick with wall coverings, and sometimes, because of the age of the building, the brick shows up again. Therefore, the faรงade projected is a composition of both apparent brick and brick with wall coverings. There are as well, different kind of windows due to the high temperature during the summer and low temperature during the winter. Then, there are windows with shadow, windows that can be opened just to ventilate without the entrance of light and there is the transparent window that allows the light freely comes inside the flat.

Core

Strategy

The last stage was to chose one out of the three topics worked during this workshop and develop it.

The strategy implemented was placing the core in a position that allows creating the maximum of units per floor since this area is in the center of Madrid.

The site chosen was the one located in the corner. Due to the fact that is a small plot, it is important that the core be small.

Another key point is to provide cross ventilation to all the units. Moreover, all the units have the view to the street.

More than this, the core should provide the maximum of opportunities, in a way to place the maximum quantity of flats per floor without compromising the quality of the unit, because the plot has a high value in this spot of the city.

In addition, columns were placed and the perimeter walls are loadbearing wall. This way, it enables easily the change of the use and the rearranging of the interior partitions.

Besides, this core should open opportunities to the people to rearrange the interior partition according to their needs. Location 0

COMMUNAL NEST Workshop leader José María Montaner and Zaida Muxí Team Natália Sato, Maria Alejandra Pelaez and Maria Amado Location Barcelona, Spain Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

Barcelona is currently changing the laws to update them and giving space to a new typology in Spain: co-housing. Co-housing is a community that gather together to build up a affrodable building where they can live together and share spaces. Common spaces that are shared are mainly: kitchen and dining area, laundry, co-working areas, spaces for children care and recreational spaces. This typology leverages the culture of sharing and caring, promoting a close relationship between the dwellers. In addition, co-housing encourages car-sharing and mutual assistance both child and elderly care.

9

Therefore, the co-housing is located in Barcelona. The architects are responsible to decide the family grouping and the activities which will be shared by the dwellers.

|104|

|105|


Communal nest

Why ?

The aim of the workshop is to develop a co-housing building.

Mothers, nowadays, have many chores to do. Starting by housekeeping, childcare, and work. Having a place where they can share the chores between the other neighbours will provide more leisure hours and more quality of life.

To begin with was needed defining some answering some questions: how, why, who and where. The placed planned is a communal nest, where neighbours help each other in a mutual relationship. That is why, to potentialize the relationship, was taken into consideration the building in front of the plot which is a building for elderly and the plot beside the co-housing plot which will be a primary school.

The neighbours can help by cooking some meals, taking the children to the school and even looking after the children while they are not present. It is a cooperative relationship between the dwellers in the building.

The families that will live there are the young family with children, single parents and the young couple that wants to start a family in the coming years.

The young family that has neither contact nor family in Barcelona, that need help to take care of their children and work to pay the bills.

This decision making is because of the surroundings. It has a potentiality to the interaction between these people and their neighbour around.

Therefore, they can help each other in the daily life. Sharing responsibilities is a new way to live.

The synergy created by placing these new families is given by the interaction.

to use the new technologies and care the elderly.

The elderly who lives there can acts as children’s step family, providing knowledge. Meanwhile, the young family can provide increasements of the income of the young people by helping them to take care of their child. In addition, the young can teach how

On the other way round: The elderly can provides knowledge and life experience to the young people. Meanwhile the young can help the young family to take care of their child. Ultimately, the children enable elderly having enjoyable moments. Therefore, they could share and help each other by: • Caring: children, elderly and young • Co-working space to work and share ideas • Sharing food and cooking • Sharing transport: Car+Bicycle+ Minibus • Social activities • Growing food eg.vegetable garden • Communal Laundry Overall, this relationship is a win win situations, where everybody has benefits from it.

CLAY STORMING Workshop leader Anna Heringer Team Natália Sato, Mauricio Mendes and Oscar Rodrigues Location Makeni, Sierra Leone Project Year 2017 Duration 5 days

This workshop adopted the method “Clay-storming” developed with Martin Rauch. It is an intuitive approach to the project. Moreover, this workshop deals with earth architecture based on the sensation of the spaces and intuition. It is about sustainability, making use of the materials available in the surroundings. This decision benefits not only the population that is using a cheaper material, but also, can bolster the local economy. In addition, the earth architecture can mobilize the dwellers to help in the construction site. In this sense, people gather together and learn a new way to increase their economy. The site is in Makeni, in Sierra Leona. It is in a needy neighbourhood which has been expanding.

10

The workshop started by making the students build urban spaces with a free urban pattern. The objective of this stage is to make the students used with the material. After that, the students started to reflect what kind of sensations and spaces they used to like. Finally, the students are divided into 5 groups to develop the expansion of the neighbourhood located in Makeni.

|114|

|115|


1st approach

Reflection

The workshop started by shaping the dreams’ housing. After that, all the models in clay were placed all together. The whole class (16 students) worked on the city models. Finally, different shapes and volumes were created.

The students had to reflect about the childhood’s favorite place to be applied further on and their manifest.

Spaces, culture, weather and necessities are different worldwide. Then, thinking locally is important to enhance the dwellers life.

Architecture builds houses, cities and places which are used by humans. These elements are directly linked with our way of life and welfare. Therefore, it is important to consider a human body as a scale in the project.

We are living in a world where there are resources depletion and the civil construction is responsible for part of it. To think ahead, is important, in every field of work , to implementing sustainable techniques.

However, we could notice that the vast majority of the class were shaping caves, shelters, more intimate places. At the end, the cities were playful. A mix of nature, shelters, and places to be tapped. The advantage of working with clay is that everybody can work together and expose your idea to be added to the city.

Childhood favorite place location - SĂŁo Paulo, Brazil

Architecture change with time, so time is an important tool when it comes to make a project. Not only about history and memories but also how people appropriate spaces after the project is done.

Childhood favorite place

|116|

|117|

Architecture is inclusive and not exclusive. Then, it is not possible without cooperation and collaboration in both spheres bottom-up and top-down.


Clay storming

Neighbourhood in Makeni

After mold an abstract city, the class started developing new shapes of city. Three models were developed

The proposal was to create a neighbourhood expansion in Robuja, Makeni. Firstly, the group compounded by 3 people, defined the project housing. It was taken into consideration the way of living in Robuja. One of the aspects is the weather since it is a sunny city. Another one was the veranda, because of the hot weather, people used to have part of their life outside of their house. Moreover, the family grows throughout time, that is why is important to think how they could expand their houses. In addition, the material of the houses were thatch and clay. After defining the house, they were placed on the plot in a way to provide shadow. In that sense, some the roofs were connected to the others dwellings to create a cover path in a public space. Furthermore, some wider spaces were added to provide spaces to children take over and play altogether. Another key point was the school that was implemented and the west portion of the plot that was designated to community garden.

HOUSING IN MAKENI Low-cost & emergency housing Professor BelĂŠn Gesto Team NatĂĄlia Sato, Maria Eizayaga, Maria Alejandra Pelaez and Arman Amin Location Makeni, Sierra Leone Project Year 2017 Credits 3.5 ETCS Duration of the final work 1 week

The low-cost signature is divided into lectures and a final work. The aim of this subject is to present the problems of the slum, new urban developments to provide instruments to deal with places that have precarious habitability. The people should have access to soil, affordable house, the dwellings quality, access to infrastructures and services. This specialty encompasses topics, such as informal settlements, urban squatting, squatting and slums, basic habitability (HaB), four stages in HaB, non-conventional housing polices, low-cost urbanization, low-cost housing, local materials and appropriate technologies, participatory slum upgrading and emergency housing.

11

Regarding the final work, was in Makeni, Sierra Leona. Makeni has been growing and has been suffering from infrastructure privation, precarious habitability. Due to this fact, the project developed focus on low-cost housing with the generation of working to increase the local economy.

|124|

|125|


Makeni

Kiln

The first step was showing a plot to work with in Makeni, Sierra Leona.

A kiln is a thermally insulated chamber, a type of oven, that produces temperatures sufficient to complete some process, such as hardening, drying, or chemical changes.

This plot is 10 km away from Makeni and 15 km from Magburaka. Studying the growth pattern of Makeni, it tends to expand towards Magburaka. That is why the chosen plot is in between both cities.

The Hoffmann kiln is a series of batch process kilns. Hoffmann kilns are the most common kiln used in the production of bricks and some other ceramic products.

The connection road between these towns is right beside the studying area. In this perspective, the group noticed that the natural grow tends to start from the main roads/streets.

A Hoffmann kiln consists of a main fire passage surrounded on each side by several small rooms. Each room contains a pallet of bricks. In the main fire passage, there is a fire wagon, that holds a fire that burns continuously. Each room is fired for a specific time until the bricks are vitrified properly, and thereafter the fire wagon is rolled to the next room to be fired.

The challenge was how to provide water for the population, access to sanitation and increase the local economy. Location

Any fuel may be used in a Hoffmann kiln, including gasoline, natural gas, heavy petroleum and wood fuel. The dimensions of a typical Hoffmann kiln are completely variable, but in average about 5 m (height) x 15 m (width) x 150 m (length).

Stretegy The proposal has a goal to both develop the region the neighbourhood and provide affordable houses. To this end, were placed in the spots that were vacant a housing and creating streets connecting the whole area. A commerce area was created to work as a buffer zone between the neighbourhood and the road that connects Makeni to Magburaka.

In the meddle of the blocks, green space was placed to provide a place people gather together and interact with each other. Some points were thought as well as the accessibility of water, sanitation and the leisure spaces.

The Kiln allows not only the population of this neighbourhood produce their own brick to construct their houses but also increase their economy.

In the east were placed a Kiln to develop the local economy. Besides, a parking space was placed close to the Kiln.

It is not by chance that all the houses were projected with bricks and ever the streets were covered with bricks as well.

Water collection

Sanitation

Data: - existing house: 108 un. - new houses: 132 un. - precipitation: 869 mm/year -consumption: 1,200x 25=30,000L/day

In order to provide sanitation to the population, the strategy was to implement a septic tank. This septic tank is connected to the bathrooms of some houses.

1. Consumption/loss: 30,000/0,8=37,500L/ day= 37,5m3/daqy x 365=13,687,5m3/ year 2, Area needed= 13,687,5/0,869 =15,750,86 m2 Existing area to water collection: 6,500m2 (this existing area to collection of water is located in the plazaz where can happen commerce exchange).Therefore, it is possible to retain 1/3 of the needed area to use further.

Time goes by, around five years time, and it is needed to drain out all the contents to provide space to further use. The septic tank works as the drawing on the right. This was the solution for this area since there is n sanitation system in the region. The common think is to find a common bathroom where many families share the same bathroom. The problem is that sometimes is dangerous for the women.

Leisure spaces In the big plazas, there are some bamboo that enables people to appropriate the space the way they wish for. In this sense, it can become a place of commerce, a place to interact with others, a place to hand a bed and so on. Moreover, inside of the blocks, there is green space to people gather together. To provide shadow, some trees were selected to be planted there, because not only provides shade, but also food with vitamins to the dwellers. Bamboo pilars

Typology The typology can vary due to the veranda in the middle of the housing. This veranda can become one extension of the house. In addition, on the ground floor, there is an extra space where the family can either use it as a store and increase their economy or they can use to rent a room.
