«...el recorrido discurre suave y lento desde las ruinas de San
Esteban de Muriano.
Tras dejar atrás los muros aún blancos de la última ermita, con
su pequeño porche al sur, tras horas a pleno sol en este largo
trecho, casi llano y sin descanso, el camino se acerca a las laderas
suaves de unos cerros arbolados que van dibujando de manera
clara la frontera entre trigales y encinas.
Pesan ausentes las casas de labranza, sólo encontramos restos de
muros de ribazo o tapias divisorias que parecen formadas por la
retirada de estos materiales de los campos de labranza.
Sol y trigos, y lomas dulces con la vista lejana de la sierra al
fondo. El caminante necesita despedirse de este lugar, reposar y
dedicarle una dilatada mirada para aprenderlo en su memoria, la
noche llegará para diluir lentamente las aristas de lo que hemos
aprendido...» Augusto Monterroso
* Translating sentence into landscape, words into architecture,
the project is a subjective interpretation of Augusto Monzerro’s
text in which a refuge is imagined and conceptualized.

CREU LESTELel juego de los volúmenes bajo la luz

Like a sailing boat, lost in the immensity of the horizon, in the middle
of rice fields, the three volumes of which relate the renovation project
seem like floating.
From the entrance, facing a long dirt path, the hamlet looks like a
harmonious composition of white shapes. Standing on a clay tray,
they tear themselves off the clear blue sky and the tranquility of the
background landscape.
the visitor walks through the path and reaches an old door made of
solid wood slightly open. His look stops for a moment on the details
that make its beauty. Like the middle door leafs, richly decorated
that were used to cool down the cabin during the hot summer days.
The visitor comes in.
His eyes need to get used to the darkness that prevails in the high
room, illuminated only by a second door on the back wall. The
view though this smaller door that stands in a perfect symmetry with
the first one captivates the visitor’s eyes and lost him in a series of
pleasant thoughts.
Based on the first impressions described in the previous text, the
renovation tries to save, restore and enhance the elements and
moments present in this typical vernacular architecture.
Relation to horizontality and verticality, to landscape and to the
human being’s perception are the keys that help its conception.

The project draws a sustainable weekend house in a mountain
village on the east coast of Spain.
Its conception privileges a large outside garden and a smaller
warm and human scaled house. The inside space revolves around
the fireplace and open a large window on the garden, immersed in
a Mediterranean atmosphere. Existing elements of the landscape:
boulder, rock walls, terraces and Pine forest are part of this closed
microcosm dialoging with its surrounding.

LA NAVE DEL PUERTOun techo para Peniscola
33
Torn between the diversity of systems that compose the city and
their relations, Peniscola is a small town where the delimitations
have to be clarified.
The proposal takes the opportunity of creating a new oceanic research
center to propose something bigger. A project that could redefine
the limits at the key point where harbor, beach, old town and new
town meet.
Structuring element for urban-scale, the project is a series of pieces
creating a large roof that cover a consequent harbor‘s part. Under this
coverage, everything is mixed and everything goes without apparent
rules in a chaos organized.
Interaction between worker, tourists and fisherman are hidden and
enhanced at the same time, giving this space a unique atmosphere.
As forest of concrete, the project stands in front of the sea, rocked by
the sea breeze, the sound of waves crashing on the pier, the coming
and going of frenetic passers and the movement of large shadows
dancing in the steady rhythm of passing time.
*This project has been selected for a publication by the Talller4 of
university Politecnica de Valencia.

THE URBAN-FRAME PROJECTlorsque l’ossature prend vie
47
With an architecture projected into the future and dealing with
its uncertainity, the Urban-Frame project wishes to respond to the
development of cities in a sustainable way. It takes all servants,
logistic and circulation elements of classical housing and places
them in the building’s skeleton. The action aims to free a generous
served spaces that may then be filled with different types of
typologies responding to a momentary and local needs.
Today, Switzerland has to slow the urban sprawl for ecological
reasons. The typology that has been developed to illustrate the
project tries to reinterpret the basic privacy threshold scheme
of a suburb’s house to convince people that urban density can
be a good thing for everyone.
The inhabitant access to his property by a community passageway
(the street). The entrance takes place through a luminous hanging
garden, spatially connected to a large inside day-area. This area
leaves freedom of arrangement to its user, and gives access to
other more private spaces on the upper level.

HOME2.0revisiting architecture’s premises
Status: ..................WORKSHOPProf: ...............Jeffrey HuangName: .....................Home2.0Theme: ..........Parametric designSchools: ......EPFL (Lausanne, CH)Date: ..................10/05/2011Grade: ....................... 6/6 57
The project is a one-week workshop about parametric architecture
using grasshopper. The time of the workshop the student is asked to
design Home2. 0.
the project chose to take inspiration in the birth of architecture, when
everything was still free of preconceived ideas.
Based on the writing of Viollet-Le-Duc about the ‹ hutte primitive ›
(primitive hut), it initially identifies the constructive elements of the hut
(structure/fence) to translate it into an architectural scripted language
that can be adapted up to date.
In a hypothetical future, the version 2.0 allows us to parameterize the
genetic code of plants. We are able to change vegetal elements in highly
adaptive living structure. The architecture becomes able to interact with
its inhabitants and environment, it can grow as we need, transform to
protect us from the outside menace or to improve inside comfort. The very
famous “living machine” of Le Corbusier become a habitable organism.

ARQUITECTURA FUTURISTAcomo una arquitectura retroactiva
Hutte des Caraïbes | Gottfried Semper
This project develops the architecture known as "architecture of the future" as an architecture inspired by the writings of Gottfried Semper and archi-tectural premises. These writings are interested in the primitive hut, having as a primary function the protection.Initially this project identifies the constructive elements of the Semper’s hut into a language. In a second phase the project reinterprets these elements to make a living and adaptive architecture.
The wood is used for framing, it is the structuring element of the project. Three parties are, trunk, branches, twigs. In the draft of these are no longer considered death as in hut, but alive. They are able to grow over time de-pending on the climate and needs. This architecture is a natural architec-ture that can be controlled by human parameterizing its DNA.While the trunk serve as stilts to create an additional level between the house and the environment, twigs and branches are used for their support to the fence. The fence is made of fur or foliage that create the boundary between inside and outside protecting the head. As framed, the living fence is able to interact with the environment or to human scale by densify-ing to make waterproof weather or housing meet the comfort of the living.

Student: ........Axel Chevroulet................Nicolas UebersaxProf: ..............Dieter DietzAssistant: .......Alexendre NoëlCourse: ..................Year 1School: .....EPFL (Lausanne, CH)Date: ................20/09/2011Semestre: .....................1 65
The first semester of architecture studies at the EPFL is made of a
series of weekly exercises which aims to challenge our perception
of space and familiarize us the architecture’s tools. In this exercise,
reducing the spatial intervention to its smallest scale we have been
asked to develop a wearable device which alters our perception
of space.
We have built a device in which our vision is parasitized by
someone else. By losing control of his vision, the human loses
its independence. Very quickly, a “master-slave” relationship is
created.
*The project has been selected for a show in the Rolex
Learning Center and won the first prize of a a regional
photography competition.

MONADE
Inspired from the 70’s movement of Ant Corps and its
“inflated cookbook”, Monade is an ephemeral self-initiated
installation. It is generated from an accurate two-dimensional
low-cost crafting process. The physical space it creates is
introverted and redundant. The sensory space it creates is
nourished by lights, colors, sound or physical objects from
the environment. One does not look at it, one looks at the
effect of the context of it.

THE URBAN BODY PROJECT
Status: .................WORKSHOPName: .................Urban BodySchools: ...........EPFL Lausanne ..............Tsinghua University Date: .................01/05/2011Site: ...........751 art districtCountry: ...................China
77
The Urban Body project is an outgoing collaborative project
between the Art and Design Academy of Tsinghua University
(Beijing) and Architecture’s school of the Ecole Polytechnique
Federal de Lausanne (Switzerland). Supported by swissnex China
and others, The project took place during a whole summer in
the 751 art district in Beijing. It proposes the fabrications of
architectonic modules and ecologically sustainable design
prototypes specific to sino-swiss relations and cultures.
An ancient Chinese notion determines the natural environment
to be atmosphere-born through the impact of the elements on
the land. Based on this idea the project, between industrial and
natural, gives rise to a multitude of built small-scale interventions
locally generated.
*This project has been exposed to the Beijing design week and
won the Science & Art Award issued by Shanghai International
Science & Art Festival in 2012.

UN VIAJE EN LA HUERTA
85
the project has been developed during one semester at the
University Politecnica de Valencia (UPV). The students have been
asked to crated a self-made pavilion with a minimum budget of
100 Euros.
We decided to work with the canvas (local’s bamboo) because
of its importance in the Spanish and Valencian construction’s
history. Dealing with this material we tried to reinterpret the
way to implement it, in order to create innovative geometries
and spatial qualities.
In the long term, this project will be proposed as a concept of the
ivy vegetalised pavilion for the development of new economic
green spaces in abandoned urban spaces.

Sustainability
As human beings we live, modify and transform our surroundings.
We aim to establish a dialogue with the public. The man belongs
to a wider cycle.
Situation
Three strategic points. Three interventions that find their expression
in the dialogue between scaffolding and existing trees. Three
promenades in the landscape of the festival of Oslo, where the
pavilions become landmark used by visitory to meet and spend
time.
Materiality
The interventions are built as simple scaffolding, from standardised
metallic modules, thus reusable after the festival. Repetition as a
vision for sustainable architecture.
This project has participated to the “120hours” competition and
has been published on “afasia”.

A VITRINE FOR ARCHIZOOM
Grade: ................First prizeStatus: ...............COMPET TIONName: .....................VITRINEAuthor: ............Quentin Rosset ..................Nicolas UebersaxDate: ..................10/03/2013Country: ..............Switzerland 99
With the new attraction’s point created about the Swiss Tech
Convention Center and the Rolex Learning Center, we would
like to strengthen the identity of the architecture’s building of the
EPFL. We decided to work on a transformation significant due
to its impact but light on its needs. The project takes to task to
work from the inside to the outside of the building, by extending
programs that need to be valued on the façade.
The terraces generated become vitrines that enhance the
strength, the dynamism and the symbol of the school.
At the same time, we are creating two new entrances that allow
to facilitate the inside circulation, reactivate the four corners
of the “Place Nord” and develop new socialization spaces .
*This proposal won the first prize of the competition launched
by Archizoom and the Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne
(EPFL). Today, the project is under study by Backer et Blanc
architecte Studio in Lausanne.

A CHAQUE POT SON COUVERCLE!
Extensive overconsumption and wastage are now established facts
in our society till years. Confronted with this challenge, designers
have a key role to play. Indeed they have several approaches
at their disposal to conceive responsible products. Choosing
carefully and sparing materials, recycling or shape optimisation.
many areas remain to be explored.
Choosing the original “Ovomaltine” pot as a research field, the
project tries to imagine a series of simple pieces that could screw
on basic Ovomaltin jar to turn it into an elegent breakfast service.
Different pieces could then be won by the consumer through a
contests on the Ovaltine packaging.
