PROJECT OF 350 HOUSING IN ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN
ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN _CLIMA: CONTINENTAL OF EXTREMS, WITH TEMPERATURES FROM -30ยบ IN WINTER AND AROUND 27ยบ IN SUMMER, FEW HOURS OF NATURAL LIGHT DAILY, WINDS INTENSIVE, OF AROUND 60KM / H _PARCELA: SURFACE OF 31000M2, SITUATED TO THE SOUTH OF THE CITY IN AN EMERGING AREA, WHERE THE FACILITIES ARE PROJECTED FOR THE EXPO2017 _SE IS THE EXECUTION OF A PROJECT OF 350 HOUSING _SE IS PROPOSED A VERSATILE SPACE THAT OF RESPONSE TO HARD CLIMATOLOGY AND TO THE ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS _OUR PRIORITY WILL BE OBTAINED SPACES USEFUL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, VERSATILES BEFORE THE DIFFERENT CLIMATIC SITUATIONS BUT ALSO TO THE USES OF THOSE WHO HAVE THE PLACE. THIS VERSATILITY HAS ITS RESPONSE IN THE CREATION OF A GENERATING SPACE SHEET, OPEN AND CLOSED, FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE USE; SPACES BELONGING TO DIFFERENT WORLDS BUT THAT CONFLUEN ARE RELATED. IT IS A LINE THAT SECTION THE PROJECT TRANSVERSELY BUT SEE IT MAKES IT DISCONTINUOUS TO FACILITATE THE STEP BETWEEN ABOVE AND DOWN, SUMMER AND WINTER, THE DUALITIES ARE PERMANENT
_ THE DISCONTINUITY OF THE SHEET AND CONSEQUENT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO WORLDS, THE SITUATED ON IT AND THE ONE THAT REFLECTS UNDER THE SAME, IT IS MATERIALIZED TO DIFFERENT SCALES AND THROUGH DIFFERENT ELEMENTS. BUILDING BLOCKS CONSTITUTE THE MOST POWERFUL ELEMENT THAT ANSWERS THIS FACT. THEY ARE 10 LARGE TRANSLUCENT PRISMS THAT LET THE LIGHT PASS THEIR INTERIOR DURING THE DAY, AND ACT LIKE MONUMENTAL LAMPS AT NIGHT. REDUCING THE SCALE, OTHER ELEMENTS APPEAR THROUGHOUT THE ARTIFICIAL TOPOGRAPHY THAT SHARING MATERIALITY WITH THE PREVIOUS, ALLOW THE LIGHT TO PASS THE COVERED AREA DURING THE DAY AND MAINTAIN ITS FUNCTION DURING THE EVENING WITH THE USE OF LUMINAIRES THAT SERVE BOTH THE HIGHER SPACE LIKE THE LOWER. FIXED PERFORATIONS ARE ALSO CREATED IN WHICH A CHANGE OF GEOMETRY IS CARRIED OUT, CIRCLES THAT GENERATE OUTDOOR SPACES IN BOTH WORLDS AND THAT CONSTITUTE THE MOST EXTREME DISCONTINUITIES OF THE PROJECT. HERE THE LIGHT RAYS GO THROUGH THE FILM WITHOUT FILTERS. USERS CAN DO THE SAME TRAVEL AS THE FULGOR IN THE TWO CENTRAL PERFORATIONS, DESCENDING OR ASCENDING THROUGH RAMPS.
COMMON
LIVING THE COLLECTIVE CONTEST PROJECT OF HOUSING IN HORNACHUELOS, ANDALUCÍA
WE ARE WHO WE ARE. WE ARE SPECTATORS OF THE COMMON LIFE, OF THE EVERYDAY, OF THE REAL, FROM TERRACES OLIVE FLAVOR. FROM STAIRS THAT CLAIM A COMMUNITY, A NEW ELEVATED STREET, A NEW RELATIONSHIP, A SPACE OF TRANSIT AND EXCHANGE FOR THE PROJECTED HOMES. QUIEBROS OF A CONTINUOUS LINE THAT PRETENDS TO EMBRACE AND STIMULATE THE CONTACT OF A TOWN AND ITS PEOPLE. A LINE THAT EXTENDS TOWARDS THE PROJECTED GREEN SPACE, THOUGHT FROM THE SAME PHILOSOPHY OF BANKRUPTCY AND MATERIALITY. A SET WITH UNITY. NATURAL ACCESSIBILITY, WHICH TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE EXISTING SLOPES AND DIFFERENCES IN HEIGHT, USING A MATERIAL, THE BRICK, THAT SEEKS TO VALUE THE CONSTRUCTIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENT, AS A SENSITIVE RESPONSE TO CONTAINMENT, BOTH ECONOMICALLY AND VISUALLY. A VERSATILE MATERIAL, WHICH PROVIDES A DUALITY OF FACADES ABLE TO FACE THE NEEDS OF ITS USERS, AND A RELENTLESS CLIMATE AT TIMES. A LIVING WEST AND OPEN TO THE HOMES IT HOUSES, CONJUGATED WITH AN AERATED SOUTH AND SIFTED BY A LATTICE THAT MANAGES TO BLUR A WALL. IT IS THE STORY OF A STAIRCASE. THE EXTERIOR AS A MEETING AREA, WHILE THE HOUSES TURN INWARD. A COLLECTIVE LADDER, WHICH PROVIDES PRECISE FITTING TO DIFFERENT USERS. THE PUBLIC SPACE OF THE EXTERIOR STAIRCASE, FACING THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERIOR. IT IS A MATTER OF UNDERSTANDING HOW PEOPLE LIVE AND COLONIZE A PLACE. WITHOUT SWEETENERS OR UTOPIAS. A PROJECT WITH YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND, WITH YOUR FEET IN THE ORDINARY.
MÖBIUS MULTICULTURAL PAVILION COMPETITION IN DONOSTIA, SPAIN EPHEMERAL PAVILION PROJECT FOR THE EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE 2016. FIRST PRIZE CHOSEN IN 2017 BETWEEN THE BEST PROJECTS OF STUDENTS BY THE WEB ArchDaily
THE PURE CONCEPT OF THE MÖBIUS BAND REFERS TO THE SYMBOLIC LAND OF THE CYCLICAL, ETERNITY AND INFINITY. WE FOUND BEFORE THIS SO RETORIC GEOMETRY IN THE HISTORY CARRIED TO THE VOLUME. WITHOUT BEGINNING OR END. WITHOUT REVERSE OR ANVERSE. ONLY A BAND WHOSE SURFACE IS TRAVELED UNTIL THE INFINITE. A SKELETON BASED ON THIS GEOMETRY GENERATES THE FORM AND SERVES STRUCTURE TO HOST THE INHABITED SPACE. AMONG THESE WOOD RIBS, APPEAR, IN THE BROADER AREA OF THE PAVILION, A WHITE TEXTILE PIECES THAT ADAPT TO THE SHAPE OF THE SET AND SERVE AS A COBIJO; CREATING SHADOW AND PROVIDING A COZY ATMOSPHERE IN THE AREA OF STAY. IN THIS WAY, THE LIGHT TAKES A FUNDAMENTAL ROLE, GENERATING AN INTERESTING LANDSCAPE OF LIGHTS AND SHADOWS, BOTH FROM THE INTERIOR AND FROM THE OUTSIDE; AND, CONFIGURING, IN DEFINITIVE, THE SENSORY QUALITIES OF THE PAVILION. THE RESULT IS A RESGUARDED PLACE, INVITING A REFLEXIVE ROUTE AROUND A PATIO THAT CIRCLE THE SAME PIECE AND TAKES PLACE WITH THE PRE-EXISTING VEGETATION. A MIDDLE ROAD, THIS ITINERARY IS EXPANDED, GENERATING, IN THIS WAY, A PLACE OF STAY AND ENJOY THE SILENT COMPANY OF OTHER OCCUPANTS OR THE CELEBRATION OF ANY COLLECTIVE ACT.
RED COVER
FINAL PROJECT OF MASTER IN ARCHITECTURE BY THE ETSAC, LA CORUÑA
COVER AS A GENERATING ELEMENT LET’S START TALKING ABOUT COVER, SHELTER, SHELTER, LET’S ALSO TALK ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF ARCHITECTURE, THE BEGINNINGS AND THEREFORE THE SEARCH FOR A ROOF, AN ELEMENT OF COVERAGE, REFUGE. LET’S GO BACK TO THE ORIGIN, TO THE CAVE AND TO THE NEST (AS PROPOSED BY SOU FUJIMOTO IN HIS TEXTS) “THE ORIGIN OF THE ARCHITECTURE IS IN THE NEST AND IN THE CAVE” THE HUMAN BEING HAS SOUGHT FROM ITS ORIGIN A ROOF, A PLACE WHERE SHELTER FROM THE INCLEMENCY OF TIME, A PROTECTED SPACE WHERE TO MAKE LIFE. THIS SEARCH HAS LED TO WHAT WE KNOW TODAY AS ARCHITECTURE. THIS BASIC AND INTUITIVE INSTINCT OF THE HUMAN SPECIES MAKES IT MANIFEST TODAY. “THE SEARCH FOR THE ELEMENT OF COVERAGE AND SHELTER OF THE 21ST CENTURY”. THEREFORE, A SEARCH IS PROPOSED AT THE ORIGIN, AS AN ANALYSIS OF THE BASIC ELEMENT OF PROTECTION, ITS COVER. AND CITING AS NOT THE VERSES OF A MYTHICAL SONG: (...) TO LOSE THE FEAR OF BEING LIKE AN IDIOT AND START THE HOUSE ON THE ROOF (...) (FITO AND THE FITIPALDIS) THE INTERVENTION IS PROPOSED IN THE JESUIT SCHOOL OF BILLOM, FRANCE. PROPOSING THE ACTION IN THE BUILDING FROM THE ROOF, FROM A ROOF THAT HAS BEEN MODIFIED OVER THE YEARS. BOTH THE CORNICE LINE AND THE RIDGE LINE HAVE BEEN MODIFIED, AS CAN BE SEEN IN THE DIAGRAMS. IT IS THEREFORE ONE MORE EVENT IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE BUILDING, THE PASSAGE OF TIME ON IT AND CHANGES IN USE. SO WE WILL SEEK AN INTERVENTION OF A COVER THAT GENERATES SPACE AND THAT GENERATES EVERYTHING, ALMOST AS AN INVASIVE ELEMENT ON THE BUILDING, BUT MAINTAINING A RESPECT. FOR THIS, DIFFERENT HEIGHTS OF THE PREVIOUS INTERVENTIONS ARE OBTAINED AND A FACETED COVER IS PROPOSED, RESPECTING THE TYPOLOGICAL EVOLUTION OF THE SAME, SINCE THE VALUE OF A BUILDING IS IN THE PASSAGE OF TIME, IN THE EVOLUTION OF ITS FORMS, ITS GEOMETRIES AND OF ITS PROLONGED USE CHANGES OVER TIME. AN ELEMENT IS SOUGHT THAT GENERATES A CHANGING SPACE INSIDE, WITH DIAGONAL BRIDGES THAT WILL MAKE YOU EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT SENSATIONS IN YOUR JOURNEY, THUS RECONVERTING A TRADITIONAL GABLE ROOF INTO A NEW ELEMENT. AN ELEMENT THAT WILL CHANGE THE PERCEPTION SURROUNDING THE CLOISTERED JOURNEY. SOME LINES THAT UNFOLD, THAT FORM DIFFERENT PLANES, AND THAT REMIND A LOT OF BILLOM’S TOPOGRAPHY. WE SPEAK THEN OF NATURE, OF LANDSCAPE, OF TAKING THE NATURAL TO THE ARTIFICIAL, OF CREATING A CONNECTION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND NATURAL LANDSCAPE. THEREFORE, THE CREATION OF SENSATIONS AND EXPERIENCES IN THE USER THAT RUNS THROUGH THE BUILDING IS INVESTIGATED. WITH A CONCATENATION OF PORTICOS THAT ROTATE SPATIALLY, FINDING A CHANGING SENSATION WHEN TRAVELING THE WHOLE. ALMOST AS IF IT WERE A MOUNTAIN, WITH THOSE LINES THAT GENERATE THE LANDSCAPE, WHICH IN TURN FORM A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT IN ITS JOURNEY. RETURNING AGAIN TO THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN NATURE AND ARCHITECTURE. AS IF IT WERE A SCULPTURE BY RICHARD SERRA HIMSELF, CREATING DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES, FEELINGS OR SENSATIONS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH THE SPACE THAT IS GENERATED.
A COVER, WHICH CREATES ITS OWN STRUCTURE, WHICH GENERATES ITS SUPPORT AS A RESULT OF THESE FACETS AND WHICH IS THEREFORE DEPLOYED FROM ITS COVERAGE. A SERIES OF CONTINUOUS PORTICOS WILL BE CREATED, WITH A STRUCTURE MARKED TO THE EXTERIOR, EMPHASIZING THAT DEPLOYMENT EVEN MORE, AND DIALOGUING WITH THE EXISTING, THE BUILDING AND ITS SURROUNDINGS, AS WILL BE EXPLAINED LATER. LET’S TALK ABOUT DEPLOYMENT, UNDERSTANDING IT AS A UNFOLD, AN EXTENSION OF SOMETHING ALREADY FOLDED. THIS IS THE BASIC IDEA OF ALL THE ELEMENTS GENERATED AS A RESULT OF THE CONCEPT, FOLD AND CONTINUE. AN ELEMENT THAT GENERATES EVERYTHING THROUGH ITS FOLDING.

PERMEABILITY - ACCESS ONE OF THE MAJOR CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT WILL BE ITS ENTRY, THE SEARCH FOR A CLEAR PERMEABILITY BETWEEN THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THE TOWN OF BILLOM. CURRENTLY THERE ARE ABOUT NINE ACCESS DOORS TO THE COMPLEX, GIVING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STREETS AND CREATING THE FEELING OF NOT KNOWING, NOT KNOWING HOW TO ENTER THE COMPLEX.
THE POSSIBILITY OF CREATING A MARKED, RECOGNIZABLE AND CLEAR ACCESS WILL BE STUDIED. TRYING TO MAKE THE BUILDING A PART OF THE CITY, TO OPEN IT, TO DIALOGUE AND INTEGRATE. AS ALREADY EXPLAINED BEFORE, THE CHURCH BUILDING IS ELIMINATED, SINCE IT IS IN A STATE OF VERY HIGH TRANSFORMATION, WITH A LOW ARCHITECTURAL VALUE. BECAUSE THE TRUE VALUE OF THE BUILDING IS IN THE WHOLE AND ESPECIALLY IN THE CLOISTER. THIS WILL BE EXPLAINED IN DEPTH IN THE ANALYSIS PLAN OF THE COMPLEX. YOU SEE IN THE SPACE WHERE THE CHURCH IS LOCATED AN OPPORTUNITY. THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN THE BUILDING TO THE CITY, TO ALLOW THE MOST VALUABLE SPACE TO BECOME IMPORTANT. TO FIND A POINT OF BALANCE, OF CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE. BUT A CLOISTER WOULD LOSE ITS CONDITION AND ITS UNDERSTANDING IF IT LOST ITS LIMITS, THE WALLS THAT GENERATE IT. THEREFORE, A HOLE IS OPENED TO THE CITY, A HOLE THAT IS AT A LOWER LEVEL AND THAT ALLOWS THE CLOISTER TO BE OPENED TO THE CITY, WITHOUT HARDLY PERCEIVING IT. IT IS CREATED THEN, A MAIN ENTRANCE, IT IS MARKED AND IT IS EMPHASIZED, AN ACCESS, THAT SIMPLY IS PRODUCED BY A MORE UNFOLDING OF THE COVER, WE COULD ALMOST TALK ABOUT THAT THE COVER GENERATES THE MAIN ENTRANCE SPACE. SIMPLY BY SUBTRACTING THE OPAQUE ELEMENTS LEAVING SIGHT OF THE STRUCTURE THAT GENERATES ALL THE DEPLOYMENT AND MAKING THE PASSAGE BETWEEN THEM POSSIBLE. IT IS AN OPEN ENTRANCE TO THE EXTERIOR BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAINS ITS CONDITION OF CLOSED, COURTYARD, CLOISTER, NECESSARY TO NOT LOSE ITS READING, SO THAT IT IS NOT DILUTED, SIMPLY DIFFUSE, TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, ITS LIMIT. DIALOGUE DIALOGUE IS A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE, ANIMALS, OBJECTS AND EVEN BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE ITSELF. A WORD THAT IS INTENDED TO LEAD TO DISCIPLINE. THE AIM IS TO TALK, TO DIALOGUE, TO ALLOW THE NEW INTERVENTION TO DIALOGUE WITH THE EXISTING ELEMENTS, TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS AND TO RESPECT AND TALK TO THE EXISTING BUILDING. SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN VERY PRESENT IN THE DESIGN IDEATION, SINCE THE BEGINNING HAS TRIED TO INTEGRATE INTO THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT, ABSTRACTING ALL ITS CONDITIONING FACTORS. DIALOGUE, TALKING AND CREATING A HARMONY WITH THE EXISTING BUILDING. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE FULL AND THE EMPTY. IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CHARACTERIZES THIS BUILDING, APART FROM THE CLOISTER, IT IS THE PERFECT MODULATION OF ITS WINDOWS, OF ITS GAPS AND THEREFORE OF THE FULLNESS AND EMPTINESS.
THAT IS WHY THIS NEW INTERVENTION WILL DIALOGUE WITH THE EXISTING BUILDING WITH THE FULL AND THE EMPTY, FOLLOWING OR IMITATING THAT HARMONIC HARMONY THAT THEY GENERATE AND THAT CHARACTERIZE THE WHOLE. IT WILL ALSO CONVERSE WITH THE CITY, IT WILL OPEN, MAKING ITS CLOISTER PERMEABLE AND GENERATING ACCESS TO IT. LOOKING FOR THAT POINT OF BALANCE AND CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BUILT VOLUME AND ITS URBAN ENVIRONMENT.
IT WILL ALSO SEEK TO BLEND, ABSTRACTING THE TONALITIES OF BILLOM, TRYING TO CREATE A ROOFING SENSATION WORN WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME. AS IF IT WERE A MERE CHAMELEON MIMICRY, TO GO UNNOTICED, TO TRY TO INTEGRATE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE MATERIALITY OF THE NEW ELEMENT WILL BE OBTAINED, OBTAINING A MATERIAL SUCH AS THE CORTÉN, THAT MIMESIS SOUGHT WITH THE URBAN SPACE, THAT GO UNNOTICED AND TRY TO INTEGRATE.

THE WALL. AS A GENERATING ELEMENT. A CLOISTER WILL NEVER BE A CLOISTER WITHOUT ITS WALLS, WITHOUT THE CLOSING ELEMENTS OF IT. WE SPEAK THEN OF LIMITS, OF CLOSED SPACES ON WHICH TO CIRCULATE. THESE ELEMENTS WILL BE VALUED, AND MAKING THEM PART OF THE GENERATION OF INTERIOR SPACES OF THE COMPLEX. THEY GENERATE A CLOISTER TOUR, A WALK AROUND THE CLOISTER, THEREFORE, THEY ARE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THE GROUP. ELEMENTS OF A GREAT PRESENCE, WE SPEAK OF MASONRY STONE WALLS OF THICKNESSES BETWEEN 0.9 AND 1.10 M. THE INTERNAL ORGANIZATION WILL BE GENERATED AROUND THE CENTRAL WALL, THE WALL THAT DIVIDES THE CLOISTER WITH THE REST OF THE BUILDING. IT WILL BE VALUED AND WILL BE THE GENERATOR OF SPACE. WHEN THERE IS A WALL, IT WILL BE PERFORATED, SIMPLY CREATING ENTRANCE ELEMENTS OR SMALL WINDOWS. IN THE AREA OF THE HOUSES, THEIR SPACES WILL BE GENERATED FROM THE CENTRAL WALL. PASTING AND JOINING ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE STAIRCASE OR THE CORES OF WET SPACES TO IT. THEREFORE THESE HOMES WILL BE GENERATED AROUND THE WALL. SOMETHING THAT WILL TRY TO TAKE THE NEW ARCHITECTURAL VOLUME, LOOKING FOR THAT WALK AROUND THE CLOISTER AND THAT GENERATION OF SPACES AROUND THE CENTRAL WALL. GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ELEMENT AND SINCE THE ENTIRE COMPLEX GENERATES SPACE AROUND IT, A NEW WALL WILL BE DESIGNED, AN ELEMENT THAT GENERATES SOME PERMEABILITY BUT AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAINS THAT CLOISTERED STRUCTURE WITH ITS PERIMETER PATH. A NEW WALL THAT IS GENERATED WITH A SHEET, WHICH LIKE THE COVER, IS FOLDED, THUS GENERATING A PERMEABLE WALL - SHELF, WHICH ALLOWS TO INTERACT IN IT AND WITH IT SINCE IT WILL BE FORMED BY WOODEN ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE USED AS CHAIRS, SHELVES, EXHIBITION ELEMENTS ETC. A WALL THAT TRIES TO CREATE SPACES.
URBAN DEPLOYMENT WE SPEAK OF A COVER THAT GENERATES EVERYTHING, THAT SEEKS TO CREATE INTERIOR SPACES, GENERATE A MARKED ENTRANCE TO THE COMPLEX, DIALOGUE AND EVEN GENERATE URBAN SPACE. ALMOST AS A COLONIZING ELEMENT OF SPACE, WE SPEAK OF A ROOF THAT UNFOLDS IN THE URBAN AND THAT THEREFORE TAKES TO OUTER SPACE THOSE LINES THAT BREAK AND INTERLOCK. LINES THAT FORM ELEMENTS OF URBAN DESIGN. THEY SOLVE THE MEETING BETWEEN PAVEMENTS, COLLECT WATER FROM THE RAIN AND, LIKE THE WALL PREVIOUSLY EXPLAINED, GENERATE SPACES. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LINES THAT ARE FORMED WITH STEEL SHEET, WHICH CREATE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF URBAN DESIGN, SUCH AS BANKS, BINS, EVEN A SMALL PLAYGROUND HAS BEEN DESIGNED, SIMPLY WITH THE UNFOLDING OR DEPLOYMENT OF THESE BROKEN LINES. ALL URBAN ORGANIZATION IS GENERATED BY THIS IDEA, COLONIZING THE SPACE AND CREATING ELEMENTS IN ITS PATH.
