My Final Project Degree is a multiscalar place in Carrizosa, a little village from the center of Spain. It comprises three scales, from urban scale to device’s and, finally, to people’s. The aim of this project is recovering the street as a public space, bringing back the intangible pro-Common values. Through five recreational and educational atmospheres, it is wanted to become part of a new everyday practice thinking about common instead of “public” or “private”. This urban transformation proposal also intends to promote local economy and rescue values associated with intangibles, such as urban memory; to strengthen links between Carrizosa inhabitants not only themselves, but also those which people have with their own village.

“With cities, it is as with dreams: everything imaginable can be dreamed, but even the most unexpected dream is a rebus that conceals a desire or, its reverse, a fear. Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.� Italo Calvino, Invisible cities.

EPIC ESPAI PER A LA PERFORMANCE i LA CREACIÓ June 2015
Gallery of Contemporary Art in Valencia. With Laura Forés and Marjorie Aranibar
- 22 -
EPiC - Espai per a la performance i la creació - is a contemporary art gallery that seeks not only the sale of art works but a cultural node in the city. The main concept that runs the gallery is the user interaction with the piece of art to generate an inclusive project that incorporates the perspective of the other. In addition, the art work is exhibited in panels that allow a permanent reconfiguration of the gallery, benefiting the birth of new partnerships that promote the evolution of art. Thus, the building is divided into three floors in a very flexible manner. Space for workshops or offices are transformed, almost instantaneously, in places to perform from a digital projection to an exhibition of painting and sculpture. In this way, the proposal is capable of holding and storing varied pieces of art. One of the main objectives of the project is to avoid generating a directional path. The exhibition is arranged so that people are encouraged to move in a free way.
“When we got to think about edgesless architecture, without the opposition between both sides, the front and the back, the inside and the outside, an architecture is born with an universal scale vision” Toyo Ito, Cambiemos el concepto de límite y abramos los edificios públicos

Walking, meeting, sitting, talking ... In a time when individualism is becoming increasingly present and the streets are only used to get from one place to another, to go through, we believe that the city has to provide places for staying in. Beyond a building, we propose a meeting point; a node which connects some public spaces at different levels. An ad lib stage is generated at the bottom of the building when few people start playing their instruments. People who pass by there, get a stool from the building facade and ... the show must begin!
The facade can be disassembled to provide the street with street furniture so that an area to sit, talk, see a show... is created. Inside the building, the same concept is repeated. There is a free space in each level. Furniture, PLADUR made, are removed from the side walls so that the space can accommodate endless activities. Drawings on walls reveal what is hidden inside them, chairs, tables, mattresses, cushions...

The fact that the furniture is integrated into the design of the wall and can be outs inside, makes the space able to host multiple activities, since it can be reconfigured different needs. A completely empty space can be left to celebrate festivals, concert worrying about what to do with the elements used for other activities.

FROM HUMANISM TO ANIMALISM coMPETITION November 2015
Project about Kirkenes (Norway). Trienal de Arquitectura de Oslo 2016. With Javier Martínez, Ana Melgarejo, Martín Noguerol and Rafa Zarza
Throughout History progress has been, in short, a low resolution insignia; which has given voice to a few in the name of all for the common good. As such, it has excluded from the mediation process –consciously or maybe not–, other realities and agencies which operate with different narratives that slow down and distort the ideal of progress as we know to date.
“From Humanism to Animalism” pursues the construction as fiction of 5 altars in which 5 dissident narratives, turned into banners of progress, question the ideal of development in the region.

4891 is a city of cities. A city where different groups of people live together but whose paths rarely cross. 4891 is born from the study of an existing “city�, the Palace of Justice in Murcia. Extracting a thesis from the every day routine in this court, a city for 40,000 inhabitants is created, following the same rules than the first one, but being optimized. From the outside, we see a false appearance of homogeneity. If we look at it form a certain distance, everything seems a single nucleus, a joint way of life. However, as we get closer, we discover that those roads that seemed to be closely linked, are nothing but a tissue of multiple lives that only come together from once in a while.
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them” George Orwell, 1984.

LAS TORRES DE LA HUERTA A city is not a tree* June 2012
Urban planning project in Las Torres de la Huerta (Alicante). With Laura Mora and MartĂn Noguerol *Christopher Alexander
“The city is not, cannot and must not be a tree. The city is a receptacle for life”
Christopher Alexander, A city is not a tree “The tree of my title is not a green tree with leaves. It is the name of an abstract structure. I shall contrast it with another, more complex abstract structure called a semilattice. ”
LAS TORRES DE LA HUERTA A city is not a tree* June 2012
Urban planning project in Las Torres de la Huerta (Alicante). With Laura Mora and Martín Noguerol *Christopher Alexander
The Torres de la Huerta’s territory is an area where cultural experience has made citizens feel connected to the site in a special way. Some very strong subjective links related to the environmental and cultural value of the area have appeared, so they have become the main criteria for the development of the project. Thus, linked to these values, towers and orchards that still could be grown, along with the recovery of the ravine, are the common thread in the structuring of the new territory; setting an intervention matrix. Therefore, to understand the proposal, the starting point must be known, otherwise it seems a chaotic geometry. In this way, instead of a tree, a semi-lattice is proposed.

YES yOUR ENGAGEMENT SEQUENCE* February 2015
Reflections and project for a Contemporary Art Gallery. *Olafur Eliasson. Leer es respirar, es devenir.
Rather than a quantitative space, it is created a qualitative one. A place where people become aware of being part of a community. In this project shape design is replaced by the hunt of experiences, making people conscious about what times we are living through.
“Shapes are temporary, they are trapped in the exchange tissue, constantly stained by negotiations and renegotiations occurring in their environments” Olafur Eliasson, Leer es respirar, es devenir
“Instead of the understanding of Architecture as a shape maker, today it is thought as a result of a process or speech that has value in itself.” Federico Soriano, Sin tesis
