SUMMER HOUSING
Professor: Jose Antonio Ramos Subject: Housing, Urban Planning, Construction Location: Carboneras, Almeria (Spain) On the Costa de AlmerĂa, in the coastal town of Carboneras is this privileged plot overlooking the harbor and the sea. This set of holiday homes. Due to the unevenness, this complex is distributed based on a system of ramp connections that connect all the houses, without using stairs. All apartments start from the same distribution, a living room with a kitchen and a large patio in the front. On the upper floor, thanks to the unevenness and displacement of the same, three rooms are located, the main one with its own bathroom and two others with a shared bathroom. In addition, they enjoy a large terrace overlooking the sea.

THE CONTINENTAL, DETROIT
Professor: Dirk Denison, philip Kafka (Prince Concepts) Subject: Reform, Community Development, Urban strategy Location: Detroit, Michigan
Located in the former Continental Motors factory in Detroit, the rehabilitation and revitalization of this abandoned area of the city are proposed. Located next to the current Chrysler factory, it is a privileged location due to its proximity to the most prosperous areas of the city. The intervention aims to be as simple and progressive as possible. The main idea is to create a community based on cooperative and sustainability, starting with an annual festival that aims to be the main source of income for the community and thus be able to grow. With the least intervention of permanent architecture, two external elements would be created that delimit a central space as an agora. These elements would house the residence and the initial greenhouse and workshop spaces. Once capital allows evolving permanent exhibition and coworking spaces would be created
NEW LIMIT FOR MIRAFLORES
Professor: Emilio Tuñón, Jose María García Subject: Urban Development, Residence, Lanscape Location. Miraflores, Córdoba (Spain) In the northern limit of the Miraflores peninsula, Rem Koolhas for the Congress Center of Córdoba a linear block that crosses the peninsula from side to side, thus creating a new barrier for this neighborhood of little interest and of a low economic level. With this proposal, the area would be reactivated by putting Córdoba on the map. After the failure of the implementation, this desolate plot is topped with a simple park that surrounds the river. The proposal consists in following the same reasoning as Koolhas, creating a barrier that houses and that serves as a monumental element of the peninsula, in the image of a stranded ship that has arrived in Córdoba. The project consists of double-story houses, with a corridor in the north that houses communications, leaving the houses a large terrace to the south.
INCEPTION
Professor: Alberto Morell, Eduardo Gomez, Jose Jaraiz Subject: Housing, Community, Heritage Location: Chandigarh & Varanasi, India
These two projects represent two realities existing in India. He proposes to continue with the development of the new architecture in northern India, completing the work of Le Corbusier in the Chandigarh Capitol, and proposing a hospice in the sacred city of Varanasi. The palace is very different from that of LC. Like the palaces in this area, such as Fatehpur Sikri, and in the image of the Alhambra of Granada, this palace is thought of with large courtyards and landscaped spaces. On the other hand in Varanasi a hospice is designed that tries to give the greatest possible privacy to the people who go there to rest the last days of their life, creating areas of meditation and being as respectful to the immediate environment.
