symphony interior design
about me I am Laura Romeu Molero, and I am a final-year student who is about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from ELISAVA University. Apart from study design career, since I was six years old I was learning music for ten years. Over these years I did music theory, harmony, singing and piano. Finally I had to leave it because I couldn’t reconcile with the studies. But since I left the music, I try to find time to play some piano pieces I had learned, because I don’t want to miss everything I ever learned for many years. And now, whenever I can I have the music in my mind and in my life about the things that I do.
cover letter I am a final-year student who is about to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from ELISAVA University. I am writing to enquire about possible employment opportunities with Frank & Marcotullio Design Associates. I am interested in a position related to junior interior designer. I am currently working as a waitress in a typical town restaurant on Saturdays morning. This last working experience has enabled me to improve my communication in front of the people that I don’t know and lose my embarrassment. Within my position at work I am responsible to attend to the clients and give the best service that I can with friendly behaviour. I feel I have significantly strengthened my knowledge and understanding of working in a public service. My employment experience has enabled me to improve in my class presentations in front of a lot of people that listens me about the topic that I talk. Usually, I have worked in different factories, such a textile company, called Naulover, or a sports company, called Decathlon. In this kind of job generally I was working for my own task, and I didn’t need to talk with an other people that work at the same floor than me for do this kind of job. But the previous experience at the secretary in a chemical company, called Quimiopen gave me an opportunity to work with more people and talk with clients by telephone. This experience was the first one that I had had public relations and my shame has been improved over time. My responsibilities as a secretary include attend telephone calls, read and writing emails, seek customers and send their last catalogue, do bills and external work that my boss told me. As you can see from my CV I have experience to work in the area of public relations from my years at university and the two last subsequent jobs. Also, you can see that I have considerable experience in factories, these are not the main abilities that I need for my future career job, but I think that this kind of jobs in helped me to have a good management of my time and be more efficient in my daily activities at university or at my life. I am confident that the combination of my public relations experiences and my way to manage tasks and be more efficient makes me an ideal candidate for the position available. I think that I could help you with the two kind of jobs that you need and show the best of my. My employment experience leads me to the conclusion that I am very suited to Interior Designer work and feel this move would be a logical career step. This kind of job would allow me the opportunity to develop my existing skills in a real world. I would appreciate the opportunity to work with your designer team. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely, Laura Romeu

Home-Garden
Casa-Hort
This is an end exercice of the most important subject at the module of Future Habitat, done in groups where they have applied the knowledge worked in other subjects. Previously, each member of the group has working with some assigned spaces in a home. Library, dining room and the roof are what form the set final solution space to has become a house garden. The location assigned to constructing our project was an 8th to 10th floor at the final building, and thus can enjoy the sun. The garden has carried out on three levels, each one at a rate appropriate for the amount of sunshine that falls. Then, in the area with more shade and with the union to the staircase with the other group that are shared ground, we have created a flat with three floors, where the distribution are the same for all flats, and is made from the library concept, that it is reflected in the separation of spaces, and as an organization of the dining room, optimization of storage space.
Aquest és un exercici final de l’assignatura motor del mòdul d’Hàbitat Futur, realitzat en grup, en el qual s’hi han aplicat els coneixements treballats a les altres assignatures. Cada membre del grup ha treballat amb una dels espais d’un habitatge assignats anteriorment. La biblioteca, el terrat i el menjador són els que formen la solució final d’espai conjunt una casa-hort. Gràcies a la ubicació assignada a l’edifici que s’ha acabat construïnt, d’un 8é a un 10é pis, i així doncs podent gaudir del sol, s’ha dut a terme un hort a tres nivells, cada un d’ells amb un tipus de plantació adeqüada per la quantitat d’hores de sol que hi incideix. Seguidament, a la zona amb més ombra i també amb la unió per l’escala d’accés amb l’altre grup que s’hi comparteix planta, s’hi han creat els habitatges, un total de tres, on la distribució és la mateixa a tots i està formada de manera que el concepte de biblioteca es veu reflectit a les separacions d’espais, i la de menjador com a organització i optimització dels espais d’emmagatzematge.

Pèrgola
This entire exercise is created from the 2D and 3D editing software, Rhinoceros 4.0. The first step is to create a rectangular pattern with straight lines and curves that create an interesting way to work. The second step, is to find another pattern to continue to rise vertically above the line created in 2D. Once you have all the points, you join all lines to form plans, and these plans must intersect with others plans,so that in this way, the final piece remains rigid. The final piece has achieved to build an exhibition space, applied indoors or outdoors, and making function pergola, too. The sheets of this product / space are final may contain information or message that you want to show.
La totalitat d’aquest exercici està creat a partir del programa d’edició 2D i 3D, Rhinoceros 4.0. El primer pas, és crear un patró rectangular de linies rectes o corbes que generin una forma interessant per a treballar. A partir d’aqui, s’ha trobat un altre patró a seguir per aixecar verticalment les linies creades anteriorment en 2D. Un cop es tenen tots els punts, s’uneixen formant plans rectes, i amb aquests s’hi han d’interseccionar uns altres perquè així d’aquesta manera la peça final quedi rígida. La peça final aconseguida té com a finalitat constituir un espai expositiu, aplicable en interiors o exteriors, i també fent la funció de pèrgola. Les làmines d’aquest producte/espai final són les que poden contenir la informació o el missatge que es vol mostrar.
