Our planet shows symptoms of sickness and disease. These symptoms include global warming caused by our non-sustainable ways, a degraded state of the environment and the different species that live in it, and more importantly the degradation of human life. We wrongly think that if we don’t change our ways as civilization, we’ll destroy the planet. Planet earth is much stronger than we think, as it has survived meteorites and millions of years of erosion. In fact, what is on risk if we continue our destroying ways is our entire specie, as we we’ll destroy the optimistic conditions that make this planet suitable for us to live in. Therefore, we NEED to change our ways as human beings and society, not only for the environment and the planet, but for us. In this Post-industrial revolution era, the only thing that grows in the human body after a certain age is cancer, proving the damage this event has caused in ourselves and the planet. The visionary dystopia movement is the one that should lead the way in our present and future, learning from the good and bad of the failed modern and post-modern movement. We need to aim for a complex and compact city, where density is our fuel to create a better and more human built environment. Cities are part of nature, and we need to design them correctly to achieve an ecological balance. The attitude of the architects and urban planning needs to be discordant inside the built environment with destroying misconceptions and with what’s wrong in a world led by false leaders that constantly take bad decisions for their own good. Architects need to ask why, always considering the possibility of using renewable energy. Moreover, we must question everything that the modern movement introduced in our society. The futuristic architect Sant Elia, in his technologicloving manifesto, stated that using principles from Vitruvius, Vignola, and Sansovino as a basis for designing cities was wrong. This is statement is wrong! We’ve been blinded by the fact that technology moves quicker than our human minds. Architecture and art must not break with tradition, but question it taking the best and leaving the useless concepts behind. In fact, futurism, impressionism, and all modern art should be questioned as just provide imbecility and stupidity to society, as a mediocre urinal of Duchamp or a performance random art can become a work of art as important as a Michel Angelo painting. Moreover, Baudelaire’s love for cars and speed took us in the wrong direction. Mankind’s love and focus for machines, speed and technology has only brought us egocentric ideals and dreams, always wanting more and more without ever getting enough. Art and architecture are not subjective, just as beauty is not subjective. To say that a urinal or an abstract painting that lacks basic concepts such as composition, ha cultural background, beliefs, or race. The background needs to be brought into the foreground. What used to be non-important in the past is needed to be consider today, always thinking twice about the fake facts that we’re told every day. Statements taken for granted such as form follows function need to be constantly questioned to understand what we’re going to consider to be our ideal city, and not fall into the dystopian way we’re on our way now. Again, questioning is important. Violating the grid should be our way to find new alternatives to the same old problems that urban cities suffer. Architecture should be irreverent, playful, and slippery. Although architectural design is confusing, irritating, and frustrating, architects should use these feelings and energy to produce and create smart solutions through appropriate decisions. Architecture is based on the constant decision making. Architects should appropriate other architects’ ideas to construct, to build knowledge. There is no such thing as stealing in architectural realm. The loss of the author is a must, because this only increases the architect’s egos which is useless and confuses the real objective of designers. From this messy chaos called life comes the beauty and harmony. The same happens with architecture, the complicated problems provide the opportunity to create beautiful and clever solutions. Layered, surreal, and deconstructive projects need to be built in order to take advantage of the digital technologies and future findings. We need to have a critical thinking, rethinking our role as architects and understanding the city as a process. We must achieve a balance between beauty and sustainability. We must come back to analyze old city centers and they are the best spatial quality we have on this planet. The dystopian oriented world we live today could become a visionary and utopian reality, creating a contradictory myth, where utopian cities live inside dystopian cities.

The aim of the workshop is to foster students’ understanding that housing is deeply embedded in its immediate and broader context. Therefore, it is necessary to regard collective residential typologies in relation to urbanistic issues. Cohousing, coliving and microhouses are the basis for this workshop. The project is located in Dugopolje, Croatia, a city close to Split. This city is based on industrial, business and sports infrastructure, and natural fields. The immediate context of the building is full of industrial warehouses. The building’s users are planned to be Feromontaza company workers, future warehouse workers, and Split students.

Moreover, the concept of the project is cohousing and promoting connection between users. In an urban scale, the project is reusing residual urban spaces and taking advantage of existing and future buildings. The warehouse next to the building has a canopy for the trucks to load and unload material, and this canopy is reimagined as a terrace for the cohousing project. Also, the building has an auditorium that enhances the mountain landscape that the city has. Each building is a parasite: it consumes space, resources and energy. But it can also become a symbiont, a process instead of just a building. Users can personally grow interacting between them with an empathic environment that promotes happiness. In architectural terms, the housing units are based in a module of 4 x 4 meters. After this module, the housing units start to disintegrate and create different privacy and communal spaces. The cohousing concept is based on sharing living rooms, washrooms, terraces, balconies, kitchens, playrooms, viewpoints, and studios, while having private bedrooms where students and workers can share and appropriate.

The aim of the workshop is to look for new generic types that can host housing, offices or both at the same time. Structures that design spaces for contemporary inhabitants and advance the needs of the future ones. How to deal with flexibility? Working spaces can become living spaces or vice versa. Combing it with character, adding a quality that defines the space whatever is happening inside. One of the main constraints for this project was to design a home-office building in a 50m x 50m x 3m volume without courtyards or cutouts. This took us to design a radial plan that aims to provide facade to every space because the main problem was having dark spaces on the 50m x 50m plan. After solving this typology, we put together different typologies designed by different groups of students to create a mixed-use building.

This workshop explores the potential reuse of obsolete industrial facilities turned into a mixed-use and dwelling structure. We will work with the ‘Magasins Généraux du Pantin’ -also called ‘Batiment des douanes’- a double warehouse complex belonging to Paris Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIP) located in the northeast of the city, settled on the right bank of the Canal de l´’Ourcq. The workshop topic emphasized on the optimal conditions to live in the city, in a public space, in the neighborhood, in a collective space with the close community, and in the individual space. The city should provide exceptional quality of life by offering a large range of facilities, proximities, and pleasures, as well as a large variety of typologies to fit different needs, expectations and ways of life.
Relation of public spaces prevail in atrium, the lower level and the walking balconies which are potential in establishing connections with the public and private realm

‘‘The invisible sandwich’’- Cedric Price
Manifesto: FEELING A SENSORIAL STATE OF MIND THROUGH MOVEMENT To be effective, architecture must be approached as an exceptionally potent agent of social and individual change. Architecture must be something more powerful and transformative than the budgeted construction of shelter. However, architecture as an art form and social instigator has largely lost its way in our society today. We strongly believe that it’s just not the building that breathes over the years, its blood comes from the urban spaces having a complex and ever changing human interactions. Though often overlooked and rarely achieved, it is a fundamental truism that in order to maintain their relevance and more importantly to improve their world, architects must resign their complacency and actively labour to create spaces and communities that are as socially and personally transformative as they are functional and beautiful. Our main goal in this project is to introduce the feeling of interconnections into the interior spaces through the different sensorial effect such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch, improving these qualities of the housing units and collective spaces. Different light intensity defines the use and the spatial qualities, creating a light gradient within the building. In order to enhance the relationship between the private and public spaces, we propose to upgrade the quality of the neighbourhood through a flexible mixed-use building with new activities such as skateparks, retail shops, restaurants, cafes, art gallery, meditation and green congregation spaces that bring people together. One of the most vital task is to devise interventions within the buildings and have them breathe properly after an arrangement of spaces has been determined. Yes, they may have formulated a way to provide a shelter and controlled environment for whoever is to occupy the building, but it takes more consideration than that to make a building have an effect on someone’s state of mind.

We designed the project by fragments, from images and situations. Images have always to be close, as if they were made from the inside, being within a situation, a space, an atmosphere, and showing how it is used, and always close to the subject, from the smallest to the largest. They will speak about individual space, about program, about life, about movement, about community space, about public space, about the city, about the relationship with the exterior, the sky, the city, the trees‌ about relationships between people. These attentively observed and analyzed images will become catalysts for the project, to define some architectural intentions. Used as space generators, these images become an instrument for research, and the project’s driving force. The project is thought as a filmic composition, designing as a storyboard (spaceboard) regularly used in the filmmaking industry.

Inward Neighborhood - Workshop 04: XX Century Building Dietmar Eberle Workshop leader Victor Ebergenyi Assistant professor Madrid, Spain Location Santiago Ardila Teamwork 5 days Duration
52
This project is located in Sanchinarro, a XX century neighborhood in Madrid. The urban development in this modern area of the city is as any other new area of big cities, out of human scale, desolated, and designed for cars and highways. The idea of this inward project is to bring back the human scale of the old city centers into this part of the city, densifying and improving the neighborhood. The project inside is designed to have narrow streets and alleyways, promoting the interaction of the population and the proximity between different building uses. This mixeduse project brings to the XXI century what it has been lacking since the modern movement.

- Workshop 05: 10,5 meteres Depth Housing Andrea Deplazes Workshop leader Fernando Altozano Assistant professor Roraima, Brazil Location Santiago Ardila & Magali de Souza Schwenkow Teamwork 5 days Duration
62
The aim of the workshop is to design a housing building based on its depth. In this case, the group had to design a building with 10.5 meters depth. The project is based on a experimentation of light inside of the space, where all the walls are thick similar to a castle where the main central living room has the main roll with the private spaces around it. The concept we took for this project was excavating or digging a massive block making it hollow. All the residual spaces are useful spaces for the dwelling.

The project gets inspired by the statue of the fallen angel in El Retiro park in Madrid. This statue is a landmark in the most important park of the city, which means that it represents an important symbol to society. The Buen Retiro Park works as a Garden of Eden for the city, where nature brings calm from the day to day urban life to the population. The program takes three users into account: The retirees, the rehab patients and the hostal travellers. The retirees are located on the top level of the project, representing Heaven. The rehab patients are located in the underground level where the meditation and therapy spaces are located, representing Purgatory. Finally, the hostal travellers are located on the lowest tower representing Hell. This metaphoric relation of the three different spaces with the afterlife represents the three different ways of seeing reality.

- Workshop 07: Alone but Connected Andres CĂĄnovas & Atxu Amman Workshop leaders Gabriel Wajnerman Assistant professor Madrid, Spain Location Santiago Ardila, Carolina Cueva, Carolina MartĂn & Binal Shah Teamwork 5 days Duration
84
Living alone is a free choice; far from loneliness and neglect it may reflect the degree of progress of a society in relation to the exercise of individual freedom and ability of emancipation and autonomy. Most of the European population who lives alone at present consists of three homogeneous groups that correspond to emancipated young professionals, separated or divorced adults and senior widowers, mostly women. None of them have a common way of life, nor have different needs from other users, but a specific form of establishing relations with a world that has qualified them as a state of emergency. They have become forced to get adapted to their specific conditions and variously inhabit domestic spaces that mostly respond to past patterns, whose regulated organizations have the family as a reference. Housing is no longer a space, but a mental time. The gender revolution in the sixties and later the emergence of the information society have contributed to dissolve the boundaries of the house. Domesticity has expanded the city through new micro-equipments and domestic time足space develops in the network, establishing new relationships with others and with objects, blurring the classic dualities of inside足-outside, private-足public, day-night and work足-leisure. Activities joined to the body care, the nutrition, the leisure, the work, sex and relationships of any kind are resolved indifferently both in urban environments or residential areas, physical or virtual ones, expanding and reducing the boundaries of the house up to the almost physical disappearance. The study and analysis of those who live by their own allows to incorporate all possible segment convivial groups and to map a variety of domesticities enough to define the foundations of contemporary living and to cast doubt on the validity of the last century bourgeois house, as an existing typology and model throughout the residential law. The project is based on an analysis of specific characters and their habits, as they need spaces inside the project to realize different activities.

. 7� ' AGE PARAMETER
CONCLUSION AFTER HAVING ANALYZED EACH INDIVIDUAL WE HAVE GATHERED THE CHARACTERISTICS THAT MOST OF THEM SHARE. THE FIRST COMMON TRAIT IS THAT FOR MOST USERS THE LIVING ROOM IS THE ROOM MOST IMPORTANT AND MOSTLY USED. WE HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT THE AGE THAT PREDOMINATES IS BETWEEN 26-33 YEARS OLD. THE AVERAGE TIME THAT THESE USERS REMAIN IN THEIR HOUSE IS AROUND 11 HOURS PER DAY. IN THE MAJORITY, OUR CLIENTS TEND TO BE MORE SOCIAL THAN LONERS. WHEN I TCOMES TO NATURE, WE OBSERVE THAT THE NATURE LOVERS PREDOMINATE, AS WELL AS THE TECHNOLOGICAL DEPENDENCY. THE INCOME OF MOST IS ABOVE AVERAGE, THEY MOSTLY EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE FAIRLY WELL. ACTIVITY LEVEL IS A PARAMETER THAT WAS FAIRLY EQUITATIVE AMONGST OUR USERS, STILL THERE IS A SLIGHT PREDOMINANCE IN THOSE WHO ARE ACTIVE. THE LAST PARAMETER WAS THE DRUG CONSUMPTION , IN THIS CASE, THE MAJORITY AREN'T DRUG USERS.

The project is located in Manaus, Brazil, which is an important port city placed right next to the enormous Amazon rainforest. As it is located close to the Amazon, the weather is very humid and dry, which is understood as a harsh and heavy weather to live in. To understand what strategies are more useful in this location, we did an analysis of the vernacular and local architecture, and also the lifestyle, cultural and social behaviour of the population. The main good examples we found were the urban palafitos and two indigenous tribes located right next to Manaus in the rainforest, which are the Cipia and the Waimiri Atraori.

After the analysis of the vernacular and urban architecture in Manaus, we took the main architectural strategies to design a passive residential building that provides confort to its users. To deal with this hot humid climate the building has tall chimeys creating a stack effect because of the difference of pressure. With the constant wind flow and shadows the building protects the users from the sun and helps the sweat to evaporate from the body.

BUILDING CASE STUDY
Schlossgarten, Schla
Our task was to analyze this project, construction techniques, materials, constructive systems, program, and architectural strategies to then find a new site to place the same building with the same uses but in a different climate and using a low budget. The building is mainly made out of concrete using a steel structure and high end climatic stategies such as double glazing and high ďŹ&#x201A;ooring. The shape of the building was a big challenge since it is an extruded irregular warped hexagon.

The idea of this case study is to reconceptualize an existing buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design strategies regarding envelope, structure and services. This project was located in Bolzano, Switzerland, and it was moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand, which has a tropical climate. It is located in the southwest area of Chiang Mai, this location is ideal for our building as it is located 15 km of Chiang Mai City center or 30 mins by car. It is in an area that although is mostly suburb to the city, it is more connected to nature and buildings are built with local resources and low-cost materials. Although most buildings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that high, the building is offseted from the main street yet connected to its surroundings to foster community amongst its neighborhood and its residents.

Climatic data detailing the maximum and minimum temperature throughout the year
Conclusions for implementation •The mean daily maximum tempera ture is 31°C, and the minimum is 21°C. •The 10°C mean daily temperature difference allows the building to have a passive strategy to reach comfort indoors. •The minimum temperature registered during the year is 16°C, and the maximum temperature is 46 °C. •The main strategy is to open the building to let the air flow inside the interior spaces to diminish humidity and heat. The cantilevered bamboo slabs provide shaded outdoor porches in each dwelling raised above the ground where people can seat. The roof of the building has two opening providing a stack effect inside the building. The orientation of the building helps as the south winds enter through the wider façade cooling the building, and the east and west facades are narrower protecting the interior spaces from the sun. Moreover, we chose bamboo as the structural and envelope material because is a local resource and it allows the air to flow. Also, we decided that the inside material for the flooring must be rammed earth with concrete because of the high thermal inertia keeping the inside cooled down. •During the hottest days, we added mechanical ventilation (ceiling fans) to aid air movement and flow for futher comfort. 124

Urban Island

This urban proposal creates a new way of understanding Chamartin station and the existing Madrid Norte Masterplan. The Chamartin station is an important part of the infrastructure of Madrid, as it works as a connector between different cities and towns in Spain. The project works as an urban island that connects Paseo de la Castellana with Chamartin station and its railway taking advantage of the existing underground water system of Canal de Isabel II. The water axis and the railway work as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;seaâ&#x20AC;?, dividing the project and creating walkways and shores. These shores act like public spaces where the population can gather, as the public space in this project was thought before the buildings. Strategies diagram
