Fluid (skate architecture: architecture in movement) reimagines urban living with a focus on a seamless and eco-friendly transportation. Focusing on the bike+skate+pedestrian scale, fostering a dynamic, active city environment.
The project seeks to integrate nature spaces into the cityscape, bringing them closer to the city of Madrid. It’s the place where nature and urban coexist, as well as skateboarding, biking, and walking.

Design Project III
Teammate: Alba Carbajo Cano
Professors: Elena Farini & Pablo Ramos
Fisurban opens up in Atocha as a response to the need to programmatically complement the Retiro Park without attempting to compete with this deeply rooted city space. In this fissure, all the energy of the project is concentrated, creating a programmatic route, an urban, active journey of attraction and movement.
This programmatic strip is delimited at the bottom by a natural strip that acts as a barrier, maintaining distance from existing residential buildings, and at the top by a conquered strip with a function of a viewpoint cornice for the university.

CONJUNTO ESCALA 1:1000
El proyecto pretende coser el barrio de Tetuán internamente. Actualmente se da una desconexión, Tetuán se convierte en un lugar de paso y no de estancia, en un espacio evitable y sin focos de interés.
El nuevo proyecto pretende ser punto de atracción, tanto para los habitantes de Tetuán, como para los del resto de la ciudad de Madrid. Así, Tetuán dejará de ser un espacio de paso o sin interés.
Las consecuencias de esta propuesta serían la reactivación de la vida todo el barrio. A nivel social, sería factor integrador. A nivel económico, supondría gran desarrollo interno.
El proyecto apuesta por el protagonismo absoluto del peatón en la ciudad. Sin embargo, la realidad es que el uso actual de parcela es de aparcamiento de vehículos. Por ello, se plantea un posible aparcamiento subterráneo bajo cada una de las manzanas, para hacer desaparecer los vehículos de la superficie, conseguir mayor espacio libre, y satisfacer las necesidades de los habitantes.
Tetuán necesita menos densidad edificatoria y más programa, más espacio libre, más espacios verdes... Necesita respirar. Necesita espacios libres de encuentro para la gente, de unión, de atracción, de comunidad, ... y eso es lo que este proyecto le da a Tetuán.

Octopus is a reinterpretation of the existing block typology in Tetuan, aiming to foster a sense of community by creating public and mixed-use spaces and encouraging an open community
It seeks to attract both Tetuan residents and people from al over Madrid, transforming the neighbourhood into a vibrant and appealing destination.
It proposes new connections, revitalizing the neighbourhood and addressing its need for open spaces.
By reducing building density, the project prioritizes pedestrians and creates room for community engagement, promoting inclusivity and internal development. The project proposes a transformation that will lead to positive social and economic impacts, breathing new life into the neighbourhood.

Tetuán, en sus orígenes, comenzó a desarrollarse y a crecer como barrio de Madrid a partir de viviendas unifamiliares, de baja altura, y con un patio interior privado.
Estas viviendas no seguían un modelo concreto, y creaban así un barrio heterogéneo. Así, nuestro proyecto va a proponer viviendas diferentes, que responden a la diversidad social y cultural existente en Tetuán, pero con un mayor desarrollo vertical, y no solo horizontal.
Este tipo de viviendas se van a disponer a modo de tetris, por lo que, al tener mayor desarrollo en altura y conformar una manzana, el patio interior se va a ver obligado a reconvertirse.
De esta manera, el patio interior evoluciona en terraza, y así, mejora la ventilación de cada uno de los tipos, ventilación que es cruzada al ser la crujía de la nueva manzana de 10 m.
Así, se aprecia una mejora en este aspecto con respecto a las manzanas actuales de Tetuán.
PATIO INTERIOR
El patio interior privado de cada una de las viviendas unifamiliares va a reconvertirse en terraza.
Sin embargo, además, al conformar cada una de estas viviendas una manzana, se va a crear también un patio semipúblico, interior, y a la vez abierto al exterior.
Así, el proyecto ofrece dos ámbitos diferentes. Un ámbito más privado, otro de carácter mixto, en el que existe un patio para cada comunidad y a la vez es un patio público, y, por último, los espacios públicos que se van a crear en los retranqueoos de cada manzana.

Skateboarding and cities are inextricably linked, with the city serving as the stage where skateboarding unfolds, transforming the way of living and understanding the city. The first issue of manifest skatezine explores the relationship between skateboarding and architecture, going beyond the familiar realm of the streets and city to pose the question of how to conquer housing and make it skateable.

Holy Sundays D.I.Y. is a collective project originated during covid-19 lockdown, when our group of friends with backgrounds in architecture came together to transform our passion for skateboarding into a tangible project.
We built our own skatespot in an abandoned place in the woods, using our architectural knowledge and skater experience to design and construct innovative features, using mainly concrete and experimenting with new finishing techniques.
This place not only provided a recreational haven during quarantine but developed into a unique and functional skatespot born from shared dedication and creativity.
Also, the project didn’t finish with the construction of it, but transformed into a space where all of us could design and experiment, leading to collaborative design projects such as magazines, stickers & more.

Origins skateboarding is a personal project born once again from the passion for skateboarding. It initially began as an exploration into skate design and its connection to fashion. However, over time, the project evolved into something entirely different. As I delved deeper into the world of skateboarding, I found that its culture and lifestyle are intimately connected to the urban environments in which it thrives.
The project is right now on a path to explore the symbiotic relationship between skateboarding, architecture, and cities; also examining how skateboarding influences the way we interact with and perceive our urban surroundings.
This project represents a personal evolution, a journey from the intersection of skateboarding and fashion to a deeper exploration of the dynamic connections between skate culture, the cities architecture, and the endless possibilities they offer.
