Model
Ground floor House between dividing walls. A dimensional plot of 10 x 30 m. Public stays are on the front, while the private are on the bottom. The main concept is the courtyard that brings light to all rooms and also gives the transition between public and private through a studio/closet/corridor.
Cover for exhibitions of 200 giving a unique and stable structure using wood panels of 2x3 m and wood sticks of 10x10cm and 2m long. It's opened to the exterior but protected from rain. The middle pillars collect the water by a pipe. The concept is a game of triangles where the beam and pilar element become essential in the project.
A project of 21 flat of 50 and 14 flat of 100 and exhibition space in the ground floor in Barcelona's Eixample.
Rebuilt the Romanesque wall of Sant Cugat Monastery through an expansion of the Museum inside the Monastery connecting on one side. Treatment is given to green space continuing the wall and also to remark the church entry.
Kiruna is a city in the north of Sweden. The main economic source is the magnetic iron in the mine. For this reason, the city is crumbling so, they decided to move the town center . Another problem is that in a few years the number of elderly will exceed the current number of homes for the elderly, so the project proposes a center assisted for elderly, senior housing and public building close to the new center.
The site demands an iconic building on the edge of the Alv River, a place that can be enjoyed by the inhabitants, and that keeps at the same time the current function of passenger transit to the boats, adding to this of course the status of Naturum. The volume plays with the highs of the roof to introduce the southern light that shone through a lattice of cooper as the light does in a forest through the trees.
The site is located in Poblenou where almost all programs are industries but in the corner appears Voramar School binded to a church. The school needs his own high school so this new building of four plants occupies the plot next to the curch opening a small courtyard for ventilation and ilumination. The facade has to backtrack on the top floor to give more visibility to the belfry.
The project aims to introduce the southern light and ventilation emptying some flats on the side facing the inner courtyard of island. It gives a new facade overlooking the Gardens of Robert Palace.

Public library
Urban Landscape
The triangular plot gives the generatrices lines of the project. The two streets provide acces to the library. The street above creates a cosy square and it gives more facade therefore, more light. The program is divided in different areas: kids, magazines-computers and study zone organized in diferent levels to adapt to the topography
New Facade
Sections and Panoramas Crossing a Highway
The urban project localized in a high slope in a limit area gives a new facade to the city. It includes housing that give an answer to the souranding neighborhoods continuing the path. Public spaces are a terraced meeting point saving this high slope. The offices and equipments are localized underneath of the plot as a library and sport center.
The workshop was about the Landscape of Lleida, Catalonia. The analysis insitu allowed to recognize the sections and the views of this landscape. The topography of Lleida is a huge flatland between mountain range where sometimes appears hills.
Urban Landscape
Togography and history reveal that the old town was built on top of the hill as a military protection.
Urban Landscape
Residence in the Pavilions Rehabilitation and Healthcare The project wants to unify all the surrounding buildings and permeabilize the macro island through the public space. The residence is developed in the courtyards between the pavilions in ground floor and basement -1 level giving acces through the rooms. The central spine contains the common spaces.

A gangway of massive concrete give access to the 100sqm apartments. The entrance is directly into the main room where are found the kitchen, living and dinning room space. There is also a terrace of eigth sqm with a view over the Courtyard or over Corsega street. The position of the terrace is always the same. There is a bedroom separeted by the bathroom to give independence to the two spaces if there are visitors.

Split
Aiming to make the most of a small and busy site in near the Alv. The site demands an iconic building place that can be enjoyed by the inhabitants and tourists, and that keeps at the same time the current function of passenger transit to the Vastraffik boats; adding to this of course the status of NATURUM.

Volume
The intentions of the project are: - One volume that becomes two by a split that follows the path of the pedestrian bridge and cross the site from side to side. Two volumes connected by two kind of passages on the upper part and on the underground. - Taking into account the orientation of the site I play not only with the heights of the roof (it starts lower at the south and finishes higher at the north), but also with the copper lattice, composed by holes of different dimensions and opacities. You are able to look from the inside but not to be seen from the outside. The sunlight shines through the lattice as the light does in a forest through the trees.
VOLUME
Divide the volume in TWO creating permeability
CONNECTION between volumes by the UPPER and UNDERGROUND parts letting people and bicycles to flow feeling
Roof
Location Plan
- A bicycle parking area is needed. That is why I propose a floating platform near the pier that is for parking and also urban space. - Copper is one of the main materials of the city roofs, thats why I use it for mine too, creating a kind of "depoyable" where the roof becomes facade at the same time. Creating a new facade to the Alv, breaking the industrial aspect that it uses to have. The beginning of a redevelopment of the river edges to give a stronger character not only related to industry but also to nature and architecture.

teborg,
Sweden _Architecture Competition_2012_5th year
The new Assisted Living project proposes a change to the current Masterplan with the Hospital considering the relationship with open spaces, flows, the unification of all the surrounding buildings and their growth. Park Ciutadella and Park of Gas, nowadays separated by Ronda Litoral, will be unified by a pedestrian bridge. Moreover, it aims to permeabilise the Macroblock by a covered public space giving entrance to the new Residence and the University creating a pleasant space to walk. The new Residence occupies the GF and GF -1 in in the pavilions because it has a very domestic nature and that gives you a feeling of being at home. Through earthmoving in yards, it gets good lighting in the Basement Floor. It builds a First Floor to accomodate the hospitalization that was on the GF. External Consultation leaves the provisional module to settle down in the GF of the building under construction and is considering the growth of the Hospital in the First Floor and the Second Floor for a clear and functional scheme. The emergency department moves to the Basement of the Uunder construction building as it was planned.
