SITE-SEEING OUTER SPACE Location: Andøya, Norway Year: 2021 Berlage Post-master in Architecture and Urban Design, TU Delft Tutors: Salomon Frausto, Filip Geerts, Ludo Groen, Benjamin Groothuijse, and Michiel Riedijk Examiner: Kees Kaan Duration: 1 semester Travel Agency project website: https://travelagency.theberlage.nl/ A Visit to the Røyken Observatory in Virtual Reality: https://youtu.be/JqG067scRM0
6
The Røyken Observatory offers astronomical working tourism to preserve Andøya’s unspoiled landscape from light pollution while providing work and leisure activities to astronomers, astrophotographers and astronomy devotees. Sited on top of the Røyken mountain near the village of Bleik, the complex has a maximum capacity of 120 guests to increase the intensity of the night sky’s visible phenomena. Buildings are excavated with openings towards the northern cliff following the collaborative production process of celestial visualization as a programmatic sequence: from data collection, image processing, post-production, and display.

MOONLIGHT CABIN Location: Nemocon, Colombia Year: 2018 Single-family house for a private client Team: Santiago Ardila Duration: 1 year
22
The client asked for a house for two people as an extension of a previously built family house. The main strategy of the Moonlight Cabin is to connect the existing lake with the eucalyptus forest while following the slopey terrain. Skylights are strategically placed on the concrete roof to frame the sky in different moments of the day and to allow sunlight in during the day and moonlight during the night. The spatial sequence of the kitchen, the studio, the living room, the sleeping area, the bathroom and the terrace creates a gradual relation between interior and exterior framing different scenes of the landscape.

32
Cohousing, coliving and microhouses were the basis for this workshop. In architectural terms, the housing units are based in a module of 4x4 meters. Following this module, the housing units start to disintegrate and create different privacy and communal spaces. Cohousing 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. Townhouse 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 accomodates Feromontaza company workers, future warehouse workers, and Split students.

The Sinners Rehab Center is located in the Buen Retiro Park working as a Garden of Eden where nature brings calm from the busy urban spaces. The program takes three users into account: The retirees, located on the top level of the project representing Heaven, the rehab patients, located in the underground level representing Purgatory, and the hostal travellers located on the lowest tower representing Hell. The relation of these three spaces represents the three different ways of perceiving reality. Rehabilitation of sensory and cognitive function typically involves methods for retraining neural pathways or training new neural pathways to regain or improve neurocognitive functioning that has been diminished by disease or trauma.

This structure is a new generic type that can host housing, offices or both at the same time adapting the spaces for contemporary inhabitants and advance the needs of the future ones. Working spaces can become living spaces or vice versa. One of the main constraints for this project was to design a home-office building in a 50mx50mx3m volume without courtyards or cutouts. This took us to design a radial plan that aims to provide facade to every space avoiding 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.

Santiago Ardila Gonzalez
Urban Island proposes a new way of understanding Chamartin station as it’s a counter proposal to Madrid Norte Masterplan. The Chamartin station is an important 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 “sea”, 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.

DEEP UNDERGROUND Location: Tokyo, Japan Year: 2020 Berlage Post-master in Architecture and Urban Design Team: Santiago Ardila Tutors: Filip Geerts and Sanne van den Breemer Duration: 1 month Project Global: Power website - https://projectglobal.nl/

This project is based on the holistic idea of an underground prototype replicated through the Japanese territory. These objects are buried under mountains, urban areas and underwater adapting to its context. Daishindo, which translates to ‘deep underground’, is a land-use law stated in the year 2000 for the metropolitan area of Tokyo allowing the public use of underground area below 40 meters or deeper for building roads, sewage removal and drainage, electricity, steam, gas, tunnels or rivers without previously giving notice to the land owner on top of these areas. The main objective of the project is to classify selected case studies on three categories and add one prototype with the lessons learned: half-buried, ground level, and buried.
