It was delimited by a vegetal fence of ivy, whose roots were causing problems to the fruit trees of the garden. We were committed to change this fence into a brick wall. The opportunity is taken to provide the dwelling, located on the corner, with a special urban identity.
Different types of brick are used, placed in a variety of fabric, with the aim of building a charm and vibrant urban façade that enlivens the monotony of the neighborhood. Inside, the wall constructs different situations complementig the life of the garden.

__________________________________ Stone facade refurbishment and window grill Setiles, Guadalajara 2016 __________________________________ The house is located in a town belonging to the Señorío de Molina region, on the border between the province of Guadalajara and Teruel. The traditional construction is characterized by the use of stone and wood. A few decades ago the facades of the
20
Sara Cezón Nieto
houses were whitewashed for aesthetic and hygienic reasons. The successive changes and extensions of the house and the lack of maintenance of the façade together with the strong climatic contrasts of the place have led to its devaluation. The requalification of the façade is proposed through the reordering of the façade.
Due to the poor condition of the original wood joinery these are replaced by others of the same material. The order also responds to the request to incorporate grilles into the holes in the lower floor of the house. Special attention is paid to all local agents and products involved.

Urban integration of Cova da Moura neighborhood. Lisbon, Portugal. 2014 __________________________________ The project starts from the “discovery” of the boundary between two urban structures as a large area of opportunity. It is proposed to transform this limit into a structure with its own entity capable of complementing and spreading the su-
30
Sara Cezón Nieto
rrounding tissues. The neighborhood of Cova da Moura contrasts clearly with its immediate surroundings. Faced with its apparent informal structure structured through the collective forms resulting from growth in small doses, the exterior exhibits
a system of isolated blocks that compose diffuse urban fabric without identity, empty of activity as a consequence of abrupt growth. The desynchronization between the growth of the Cova da Moura neighborhood and that of its surroundings is the starting point of the
Site plan model
project. The intervention in the limit is structured from an evolutionary system capable of growing and transforming over time. The public spaces, the squares, are the germ of the future architectures from which the project will be developed. Thus the time of the project is synchronized
with the time of the neighborhood. But also with the time of the construction process, the construction of the city is incorporated defining not only the systems and construction processes but also those auxiliary means that allow coexistence with the city. Even those spaces des-
tined for the storage and storage of materials are proposed for future reuse as provisions and equipment for the neighborhood.

LANDSCAPE Through “urban decoration”, potentiality becomes the opportunity to generate identity. Urban decoration refers to those strategies used to acclimatize the proposed building to the environment that Deco Urbe intends to generate. The objective is to value the intermediate stages of the urban process, in some way to qualify the architecture that remains to the “expectation” of the future architecture. The main concepts that make up urban decoration are: color, optical perception and future footprint.

__________________________________ Urban refurbishment for Plaza España Madrid, Spain 2016 __________________________________ Plaza España is located on the west ledge of Madrid. This area is characterized by an urban environment of great monumentality with two overlapped axes: - the one formed by buildings such as the Royal Palace, Royal Theater, Spain Tower and Temple of Debod;
56
Sara Cezón Nieto
- and that formed by green areas such as Sabatini Gardens, Plaza España and Parque del Oeste. Vehicle traffic causes a significant fracture in the physical continuity of this urban space. It is proposed to bury the traffic and link the two axes through a both monumental and in-
dustrial element: an aqueduct. Thus the idea of monumentality is reinforced by this porticoed walkway, which also serves as a support for a water recycling system that is used to irrigate green areas and recreational activities of the new Plaza España.

__________________________________ Identity, learning, public space and energy Madrid, Spain 2015 __________________________________ The city of Schwäbisch Gmünd raises the need to reconfigure the urban space linked to a series of university facilities on the outskirts. For this, the construction of four public spaces and a green axis transverse to the main road are essential.
60
Sara Cezón Nieto
Linked to the academic world, it is proposed to extend an idea of continuous learning throughout life and make it visible in an urban way within the city. Thus, four arcaded squares are proposed that will function as growth seeds, defined by the application of each of the
scales that the urban learning process defines: production, trade, information. To link these four arcaded squares and the urban developments that they will generate in the future, a linear infrastructure is drawn supporting the productive green axis becoming a new urban landmark.

Waterscape is the acronym of water and landscape. It names a landscape where water has a strong presence. The site is carved by the water. The sinkholes together with the watercourses and the run-off have shaped the terrain.

Sara Cezรณn Nieto
The Amphitheatre could become an icon in the territory able to bringth to light the waterscape behind the treetops. It could be recognized from many different scales: from the architectural scale of the sinkhole patios to Google Earth. The ground floor related to the sport courts of the athletes should respect the current hy-
drological system in order to allow and enhance the natural movement of the water. Meanwhile the visitors areas and the athletes residence is concentrated on a raised square platform . The relation between this two worlds, athletes and visitors, is the aim of the project.

__________________________________ Klekovaca Tourist Center Spatial plan. Srpska Republic, Bosnia & Herzegovina. 2016... __________________________________ The proposal for the Klekovaca Tourist Centre is a clearing within the forest clearing: a large forest ring in the center of the Kozila plateau, as a reflection or extension of its original condition.
76
Sara Cezรณn Nieto
However, while the large natural clearing has an irregular shape caused by the local conditions (geographical, biological, anthropic, historical, climatic, etc.), the new clearing responds to factors related to identity, ecology, mobility, sustainability, etc. This is a circular ring made
up of 7,000 trees. the new Klekovaca Tourist Centre is a city where the traditional urban grid is replaced by a forest of trees, a grid of trees. Providing oxygen for 14.000 people and consuming 150.000 KG of CO2 from the atmosphere.

structure able to evolve over time and to adapt to future requirements and changes. Unlike traditional urban planning, evolutionary design works with time as one of its most
important tools. Time, change and evolution are three names for the same concept. There is a deep relation between time and creation. Evolutionary design requires a holistic approach to urban design. Probably it is the only way to

Nodo 17 Collaboration
Landscape has became the main structure for urban design. It is from where evolutionary design starts but never finishes. So, we need to set up the rules for landscape evolution and change. Forest Ring is a complex struc-
ture formed by two layers: the canopy layer of trees and the understory layer of shrub vegetation and ground cover spaces. Between both layers architecture and activities are going to be set up.

__________________________________ Urban zone development. Srpska Republic, Bosnia & Herzegovina. 2017 __________________________________ Forest Ring landscape is the future structure of Kozila Urban Zone. Streets and buildings, as we conventionally understand them, are going to be replaced by a forest with clearings inside. Furthermore, due to landscape is under continuous transformation and change, Klekovaca Urban Zone will evolve and grow synchronized with natural environment. This means that
84
Sara Cezรณn Nieto
rather than designing a finished and close village, we propose a structure under permanent and continuous transformation able to adapt to future requirement and changes. The landscape is not only the beginning but the catalyst of a long process where architecture is just a part of it. All future steps are going to be supported and enhanced by the landscape. Even though landscape imper-
manent feature, the Forest Ring gives structural stability and coherence to the future evolution of Klekovaca Urban Zone. Paradoxically, stability and transformation are two different sides of the same structure. Once that Stage 0 has been defined for the whole forest ring, we proceed to simulate subsequent stages for Environmental Unit 02 (EU02).

The area is fully perforated and carved by sinkholes. A sinkhole is a depression or hole in the ground caused by some form of collapse of the surface layer. How is it possible to design a
hotel around sinkholes? It should preserve and enhance sinkholes. It should allow water flow and the same time it should take advantage of this beatiful landscape.

Our proposal for the new center of Borovets is designed as a typological and landscape reinterpretation of Rila Monastery. We think it can be understood as a contemporary system. Surrounded by a spectacular natural landscape, Rila Monastery builds an interior ecosystem fully integrated into the surrounding envi-

ronment. The main church of Rila Monastery is located in the center of a magnificent interior landscape surrounded by a four-story arcaded structure. We propose a permeable perimeter arcade, as a new urban covered space to enhance the life and activity of Borovets. Although the perimeter arcade is continuous throughout the
Golden Triangle, the building is fragmented into three volumes, located in those places where trees allow it. All these trees require a protective distance to avoid being damaged by nearby buildings. With the aim of not cutting any tree that is in good status, the diameters of protection of the roots predetermine the geometry and shape of the courtyard.

Staggering the traditional flat facade makes the building lighter. Thus the ground floor holds a garden in which the presence of the building is diluted. Each step corresponds to the cover of the plant immediately inferior. The geometry in plan unfolds looking for an optimum
south-east orientation while at the same time protecting itself from the west. The vegetation cover climbs up the facade in an upwardwest direction, protecting the interior spaces of the harsh afternoon sun during Madrid summers.

In this sense, it has been necessary to understand and make visible the ravine ecosystem and the way in which traditionally La Gomera popular architecture has been built there. The main strategies of the project are the respectful attitude towards water runoff and, on
the other hand, to protect itself from the winds channeled through the ravines. Traditionally, buildings were never placed extensively along the slopes, but were concentrated vertically along roads and trails.

The relation between the terrain and the houses is essential, there are two main typologies which difference lies in the way to access housing.The “typical” two- floors house and another one whose volume is divided
in two parts. Half of the construction is buried like a negative of the land, and assume as being part of it. Over that half- land, a second volume is placed with the main access and the daily common areas. The combination of those types guarantees an appropriate sunlight and the desired sea views.

the old stone façade using wood and glass. The protected garden is important in the development of this project. The current garden is respected, protecting all the existing species and planting new ones in the redeveloped areas. The houses open completely towards the it, making it participates in the daily life of the tenants.
The project manages to achieve maximum privacy and exclusivity through the configuration scheme of the urbanization and housing; enhance the spectacular views of the garden and the surroundings in the South, East and West facades and the maximum use of light. Eight houses are proposed, garden with pool, spa with indoor pool and garage parking.

The proposal generates a unique, outstanding building image. Paying special attention to the treatment of light, color, views. The zoning of outdoor spaces is determined by the surrounding streets and the accesses to both hospitals. The road traffic system has been maintained around the two plots, comple-

tely separating the different accesses facilitating the orientation of the users.The situation of uses follows a logic of affinities and synergies, prioritizing the circulation system, with a large number of different routes and accesses. The location of the spaces and departments of the welfare socket is aimed at achieving a symbiosis of uses between the two hospitals
and greater clarity for the user.The hospitalization units contain the uses that only need vertical communication with the plinth. The resulting image facilitates reading from the outside that the complex consists of two hospitals with their respective units, El Niño on one side and Maternity on the other, differing in height.

Yanbu is a major Red Sea port in the Al Madinah Province of western Saudi Arabia. It is an important petroleum shipping terminal but it is fast becoming the top tourist destination in the country, with its sandy shores, many with resorts and private beaches geared towards families. Our plot is

Sara Cezón Nieto
located in one of these urban developed areas linked with a sea port. The hotel is developed on the strict respect to the rules of the urbaniztion master-plan, in its distances to the lot limits, footprint and volumetric zoning. Due to the type of terrain and the proximity to the sea it is not possible to make an underground parking so it is necessary to
deal on the ground floor with it and pedestrian access to reception using a double height patio. Volumetrically the projet consists of two bodies: a horizontal plinth that joins the common areas of the hotel , and a vertical nine-floors volume for the rooms.This turns an elegant and slender L- shaped building into a landmark in the territory.

The hotel is located in a new urban developed beach resort area. As it happened with Yanbu hotel, it is necessary to deal on the first floors with the parking and other common areas such as the pedestrian access, reception indoor swimming
pool,... because it is not possible to make an underground parking due to the type of terrain and the proximity to the sea. 250 keys are distributed in nine floors placed in “U” shape. On the last floor of the plinth, the common areas turn into an interior patio.

La circunstacia de límite entre el tejido industrial y las nuevas edificaciones residenciales unido a la ausencia de un espacio urbano de
calidad hace que las tipologías vuelquen los espacios de día hacia el interior de la parcela conformando una fachada permeable con espacios aterrrazados en oposición con la fachada a calle con caracterizada por la apertura de huecos longitudinales.

competition was “It´s all about money” and the challenge was rethink and ask us “what´s money?” From our point of view money is any item that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services. The concept of the design
turns into explore the evolution of payment methods in the exchange of products throughout history. It would be showed in the stratification of the hotel, from the shells, salt and cocoa of the reception access in the groundfloor to the bitcoin skybar situated in the top of the tower.
