SEWING FERROL Thesis project / Urban strategy Urban proposal University final project Location: Ferrol, Spain. Programme: Urban strategy, maserplanning and community building.
THEORY:
Conceptual sketch for the Recimil´s urban strategy
The university thesis project was based on the idea of the revitalization and connection of key derelict areas within the territory of Ferrol, in Galicia. The main objective was to re-activate a territory which, due to several factors, is progressively being abandoned by promoting and stablishing new uses. Based on the principles of a sustainable urbanism, some wasted/derelict spaces were identified. Places as collapse buildings or empty sites, or even smaller areas within the urban fabric were identified as place-making opportunities. Through minor interventions, this initiative aims to create collective spaces with permanent and short live activities covering most of the needs and promoting linkages along the entire territory, rather than focusing the activities within the main city. An urban strategy was set to create a network, physical or conceptual, across the entire area which will connect these new ´recovered´ spaces in between them and the exising ones. Those areas where more than two networks coexist will become poles of attraction. There will be just one physical alignment, the public transport, which will ´sew the other functional lines. The identity of places and the feeling of belonging to a collectivity will be promoted by the repetition of common elements as street furniture, planting palette or pavements. People will have the possibility to move through a continuous landscape, characterized by collectivity and dynamism, which connects different activities, interests and needs while keeping the identity of each location.

RECIMIL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD - Social housing from 1954 1032 houses: 10 typologies from 40 to 140 m2 - 70% of the houses empty. Associated Market and school abandoned too PRACTICE: RECIMIL NEIGHBOURHOOD To translate the theory into practice, one of the poles of attraction identified within the territory has been designed, to construction detail, as a paradigm on the urban proposal. Two main derelict spaces have been identified within the city centre. A residential neighbourhood, from 1954, adjacent to an Universtiy campus and known as Recimil, and a military headquarter to the north of the neighbourhood. Following the actual needs of the University of Ferrol, which is suffering a lack of space, the proposal was to extend the University facilities across the derelict headquarters to the north of Recimil. By locating the new educational facilities at the north, the semi-derelict residential neighbourhood of Recimil, falling in between the two campuses, will become a key feature/location. On the other hand, the students lifestyle and related activities will become the tool to bring to life this historical neighbourhood. The neighbourhood will receive a high amount of temporary and permanent users. It will become a key urban element which articulates the University areas while providing a place where educational and cultural activities can be practiced and where private and public uses are mixed.

PROPOSALS WITHIN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Intermediate and share spaces for neighbours Introduction of lifts
The rational urban morphoflogy of the actual neighbourhood (1954) has been identified as one of the reasons for its decay. Circulations, safety issues, monotony and lack of diversity are problems derivated from its design. The key elements of the proposal are listed below: - Implementing the networks (explained within the theory) which will connect this area with the whole territory. - Introducing new uses, by modules, which are to be combined with the residential one. - Breaking the longitudinal alignments to create a more permeable neighbourhood. - Modifying the repetitive aesthetics of the facades to promote dynamism and diversity. - Improve the habitat conditions of the existing housing.
Voids within the existing blocks as terraces
Proposals on existing housing modules - Treatment on facades - second skin - Elevators - Spaces in between
The alignment of the longitudinal pieces and their flat facades are broken by intoducing new features within the existing housings. Some examples are vertical elements as the lifts and horizontal features as hanging rooms and voids creating common terraces. Introduction of lifts
Key elements as planting and street furniture have been carefully selected and designed to promote the identity of Recimil. Singular species of street tree will be repeated along the streets of the neighbourhood creating a common landscape. The tree seleceted wil be a colourful and aromatic fruit tree to promote the interaction with neighbours. TO UNIVERSITY

TO UNIVERSITY
SEWING Social and educational building in Recimil classrooms
Architectural design A group of eight housing modules settled in “cul de sac� has been chosen as the paradigm of the urban layout in Recimil. The design proposed will reflect an strategy which could be apply across different modules within the neighborhood.

The project is developed following the design criteria extracted from the large scale strategy. The proposal aims to maintain the original plan but creating a permeable community building in four directions.
11
The programme of uses is destinated to students, east wing, and neighbours, west wing of the building. Both wings will be connected through a common room, the library, which becomes a key element of the proposal. The coffeshop will also provide a common area for external users.

DESIGN PROCESS Library
As menton before, circulations, safety issues, monotony and lack of diversity are problems derivated from the original layout of the neighbourhood.
Conceptual model
The proposed building intends to achieve a continuous transition between private and public spaces, breaking the boundaries between interior and exterior. The main objective is providing dynamism and breaking the repetition to achieve atractive urban sceneries while promoting new uses for users beyond the Recimil area.
Existing housing Breaking uniformity - new street
The several community buildings and student housings proposed along the neighbourhood will be design to react against the monotony and continuity of the existing residential units following similar principles as per the proposed educational and social building. Hanging volumes, voids, terraces and patios will become key architectural features within the proposals. They will break the rational alignment and will bring permeability and a mixed of uses.
No lineality - ´the wall´supporting volumes
Study rooms Permeability in four directions
Coffee shop - transveral spaces breaking alignments to enrich the spaces in-between

“This project is a rejection of style, fashion, tectonics, and signature.

It is about the creation of space, illusion, and void.
5 the street
It is the triumph of space over architecture. A haven for opportunity, a place without restrictions, a white canvas that is free to change or to remain the same. The Architecture Foundation will not be bound by style, fashion, name, or time. It will be atemporal, universal, whatever it is wished to be, for as long as it is wished to be.

The façade offers one option only: an entry.

The foundation is a spatial connection. It brings you from the street into the secret garden. The void is illusory, the perspective magically changes, the space expands, it grows and it changes; architecture disappears, and only space is left. The void generates the building. The void is the connection between all the functions of the foundation.

THE PROJECT:
Three elements
Pictures of Model
As shown in the diagram to the right, the project is originated from three elements: programme, void, and circulation. The circulations occupy a small appendix, which will include storage area as well.
(programme)
(void)
The programme as the negative of the void, is pure space. The void as the positive is the street. Autonomy: each function can be connected and work as one entity. They can also be completely independent and never meet up with. The facade will be atemporal. It will work as a white canvas which can reflect the contents ocurring in the Architectural foundation.

Auditorium Ciutat d’ Elx Cultural and public square Architectural competition Responsabilities: design, graphics and model
International competition. Location: Elche, Spain. Programme: Auditorium, social centre, public roof and square Ranking: Short listed
The plot given is located within a dense built environment in the city centre of Elche.
NORTH
Within this context the main driver of the proposal was to create an open space for the neighbourhood while achieving a continuous permeability between this and the community building requested within the project description, which included an auditorium and social centre. SOUTH
To achieve this, the building was located as a longitudinal piece along the northern boundary of the plot following the existing urban fabric. As shown in the diagrams to the right, this location allowed us to create a large square facing south while defining a new urban block and street to the north. Rather than defining a longitudinal piece with a connected interior programme, the decision made was to take advantage of having a continuous relation with the square. The proposal divided the programme of uses trasnversely so most of the rooms could work independently and have direct access to the public space. The frontage facing the square will become a main feature of the building. A tradiditional flat element, will contain now its own programme combining circulations and temporary exhibitions areas as shown in the model.

Masterplan and Tower in Leinelä Mix-use tower and public space Architectural competition Responsabilities: model maker and graphic support
EUROPAN 9: International competition. Location: Leinelä, Vantaa, Finland Programme: Mix-use tower and public space Tower: restaurant, housing, gym and offices Public space: park, day nursery, train platform, square, leinelä station, parking. Surface: 4Ha The aim of this competitions was creating a small city around from Leinelä Tower. The proposal placed common functions such as a residents’ club, a gym with saunas, and a panoramic restaurant, within the tower, with public ones as a train station and an urban plaza. We wanted to encourage co-working, so we plan a number of meeting rooms to be used by students and workers. A number of special apartments with care facilities are planned for elderly people. An underground shuttle service will collect the inhabitants of Leinelä to take them to the station in winter. The Urban Plaza in front of Leinelä Tower is diagonally split over two levels. The top level is placed at the height of the railway platforms, becoming a perfect display of culture and performances, and transforming each passenger into a spectator. This allows for the parallel use of the Plaza and 150% usage of the surface, as we can place the day nursery and parking garage under the elevated part. The slight inclination of the urban plaza (3%) allows the placement of cafes and markets; at the same time, it collects the people coming from Leinelä at ±0.00 and leads them smoothly to the station at +4.70. Where the two levels of the Plaza meet, we placed a transportation hub for people coming from the parking area. The main entrance to the tower is positioned at this level so residents can access the station directly. Following the Plaza we design the orthogonal park, where nature is planned in a grid, contrasting with the surrounding forest. Running parallel to the Park and the Plaza and ending at the train platform a covered passage will protect the passengers and cyclists from Leinelä during the winter.

Paseo de la Estación Public Realm Preliminary and detail design Responsabilities: design, construction drawings, specifications and tender documents
Preliminary and detail design Location: Elche, Spain. Programme: Public Space Sequence: Promenade area + New square + Green zones Surface: 15.000 m² Status: Approved + tender (on hold for construction) Client: City of Elche Estimated construction Cost: € 3,5 Mill. Financed by Spanish Central Government
“From the beginning of the 20th century until the 1960s this avenue was an elegant elevated Paseo Salon where the inhabitants of Elche enjoyed walking. It formed the main connection between the Railway Station and the City centre. With the prominence of the car in the 1960s, the elevated Paseo was demolished and transformed into a three lane road. This, together with the displacement of the railway station (at the north), damaged the character of the Paseo as a civic public space. After studying the current traffic patterns in the area, we propose restricting vehicular access to public transportation and bicycles. Once the Paseo is free of cars not only do we improve the sequence of public spaces on the North-South axis, the spaces between the city and the new Mirador+Station, but we also link the two parks that are currently disconnected on the East-West axis. Both parks are former palm huertos. This operation will unlock the enormous potential of the area as a public space right in the centre of the city. The construction of the Mirador-Station to the North of the Paseo will frame the views and will relocate the station in its former location. We propose to keep the Paseo as a “hard” surface so it may host a large number of events, which would be impossible in a green area. Moreover, due to the dry weather of Elche, a green Paseo would require a significant amount of maintenance. We have minimized the Paseo’s design to avoid compromising its potential. This design will only affect the surface; we have created a great carpet of tiles representing a pixelated aerial view of the Palmeral. This large mosaic will be visible from the wheel as an enormous piece of urban art.” STAR Strategies + Architecture

SCHEMES OF DOHA WEST: Initial diagram analysis
Within a high number or projects, the Public Works Authority of the State of Qatar has launched a Programme of works which aims to improve the urban scene in the city of Doha.
DW019: 597ha
Within this programme, Atkins has been assigned as the Design Consultant in charge of the concept, detailed design and construction supervision in Doha West, with an approximate area of 20,000ha. The scope of works covers from the provision of roads and utilities to urban design and landscape, managed by a multi-disciplinary team. As part of the urban design department we are facing a massive challenge: bringing up the public realm of a partially undeveloped area which shows lack of sensitivity in their existing designs. Our work usually involves a zoom-in on the public realm to understand and respond to the daily needs of the final user.
Doha West has been divided by 35 schemes (to date) in order to allow the design consultant to deliver in a controlled programme. Each scheme is assigned to a core team of engineers, architects, environmental specialists and urban planners, in between others.
DW044: 597ha
One of the major success in the development of a project of this complexity is the achievement of quality and cost-effectiveness by adopting a simplified design approach based on design solution packages.

ROAD CORRIDORS
Due to the nature of this project, its size, overseas production and multidisciplinarity, significant time and cost saving techniques have been implemented within the team. These techniques include a modular design system which allows a semi-automated production of design for those areas defined by a common design strategy. The design effort is given to those key areas considered as public realm enhancement opportunities, unique areas within each of the schemes. Diferent streetscape elements are designed as standard typologies and they are applied thtoughout the schemes. Their combination, based on the particular context, result in an unique design for each project area.

Contract 2: Doha West Streetscape detail design Detail design Due to the nature of this project, its size, overseas production and multidisciplinary charater, significant time and cost saving techniques have been implemented within the team. These techniques include a modular design system which allows a semi-automated production of design for those areas which follow a common design strategy. The design effort is given to those key areas considered as public realm enhancement opportunities, unique areas within each of the schemes.

Research projects
Research articles Master in Advance Architectural design Research Selected works produced through the Masters degree in the School of Architecture in Madrid. Large Scale was chosen as the main area of study within the Research Programme as a route to start the PhD.
Approach to the future city through cinema Teacher: Juan Carlos Sancho city, cinema, analysis, experience, individual
Kaiten sushi Teacher: Federico Soriano place, instability, flexibility, mutability, facade, leds
The Architecture of the city of the future in the context of the twentieth century cinema has been chosen as the main topic for this essay. The text is focused on the current situation of the individual and his future relations with the city.
The Kaiten Sushi Project has been presented at the Sushi dinner at ETSA Madrid. The main objective of the dinner was to present an object defined as “seclusivo”. This concept comes from the biology and defines the ability of realizing more than one action at the same time.
Designers can not predict how things are going to work in a future; however, our duty is to presume how something could be used. The cinema is proposed as a tool to experiment, reveal and sometimes anticipate what designers can not predict.
Starting from two basic concepts of the japanese tradition, the Kaiten sushi game represents an object completely “seclusivo” which reinterpretates the classical kaiten table (eat) and the “Go” (play), a traditionally japanese game. The Kaiten sushi table is made by three pivoting mobile rings. Each rings hosts a different category, first two are images and the third one is made of “information”. Like the normal kaiten table, every time you want to eat a new sushi piece you need to rotate a ring. The three rings, with their rotation, combine random images and informations.
CIRCO Magazine: Intermitent place Teacher: Emilio Tuñón + Luis Mansilla place, instability, flexibility, mutability, facade, leds Instability, movement and change define individual conditions in the 21st century. A dynamic condition characterized by networks where people, information, money, cultures, resources and knowledge are traveling fast. In this context one of the characteristics that defines modern activity is mutability; architecture should respond to the complex relationships between spaces and uses, scene and script, type and programme. The contemporary place is associated with situations, uses and users, objectives and experiences. This instability requires from the place its conversion as a structure able to support ephemeral, intermittent or permanent events providing answers to users. Following this, in February 2010 Led Action Facade has been set up in Madrid. This project presents a scenario built and rebuilt continuously through a programmed surface that creates a mutable and unexpected space. Its analysis allows us to predict a concept of hybrid place between the limit of statics and dynamics, physics and virtual, collective and individual, public and private, reality and fiction.
Walter Benjamin. The intruder of the crowd Teacher: Juan Miguel Hernandez de León city, perception, shock, indifference, flaneur, blasé Contradiction usually induces interest. From the perspective of the protagonist of the film Smoke (Wayne Wang and Paul Auster), the research proposes an approach to the city from the point of view of the metropolitan experience in terms of a perceptual transformation of individuals. It is remarkable to take a look back to early 20th century and recover concepts which attempt to describe the experience of the user. It is necessary to go back to Germany to see the research legacy of Georg Simmel, who detects a blasé attitude, and Walter Benjamin, that takes from Baudelaire the figure of the flaneur.
Action Led Facade, Madrid
The stroller is dissolved in the crowd with an indolent and defensive attitude, he becomes a detective looking for encouragement and trying to resist from falling into the indifference. What would be the trigger that causes the image that takes out the individual from the crowd to the surface to make him a flaneur? Through the proactive capacity of art, architecture and culture, it would be possible to introduce the factor of intrigue, the non-coded and unexpected, associated with a new type of statement re-coder.

Pasos
Approach to the future city through cinema Teacher: Javier Maroto + à lvaro Soto shelter, catastrophe, assembly, foldable, origami A space is developed under several self-imposed premises responding to the design of an economic, fast-assembled and easytransportable shelter following Origami’s technique. Based on the design of the joint the structure is produced, creating a foldable and modular design easily adaptable to the different situations required.

(In)sensitivility towards worth vualue of things The individual’s experience in the city through the readings of Georg Simmel. Tutor: Dario Gazapo de Aguilera individual, city, behaviour, perception, attention, adaptation The driver of this research has emerged from the revision of different publications and articles from George Simmel; more precisely from those studying the transformation of human behaviours induced by the metropolitan environment. Within this theoretical framework, the target is to explore in depth the way individuals adapt to the contemporary city and how both their experience and perception of the environment are modified. Understanding what defines individuals’ attitude within their urban context, their capacity to disconnect from a wide range of attractions to select just some stimulus and the role that urban design and architecture play in this behaviour are key objectives within this research. Let’s ignore temporarily the aesthetics and concentrate just on our social and ethical duties as designers. Let’s achieve sustainable cities and places dedicated to strengthen individuals’ experience, awaking their interest and commitment in the urban environment.
“By crafting our surrounding we craft ourselves” Lukas Ebensperger
“We are suffering from a new form of “mass distraction” or so it would seem. The cause of this mal d´époque does not reduce to an external chaos distracting our minds from much more important and necessary chores: it corresponds to a structural transformation, a new regime of attention (and inattention)” Loose Coexistence. Elie During “The blasé person -although the concept of such a person is rarely fully realized- has completely lost the feeling for value differences.” The Philosophy of Money. Georg Simmel
