About me:I am a 25-year-old Spanish Architect. I have been living in London since I finished my studies at the San Pablo CEU University in Madrid, and the University of Edinburgh.

Since I finished my studies in 2014 I have been working on two small practices based in London. Thanks to their small scale I have been involved in tasks across a broad range of RIBA stages, as well as in design and brains-torming sessions. I have managed projects at very different scales, from a shell lace trachea stent to a marina development in Abu Dhabi. One achievement I have been particularly proud of is the award-winning competition design for the Zhengzhou Trade centre, on which I collaborated with three of my co-lleagues at Tonkin Liu Architects. During my career I have received several awards both for specific competitions and for my overall academic achievement.

I look forward to continuing my career in London, collaborating with engaging and challenging teams.

This is a hostel for a hundred people on Fon-te da Telha beach, 20km south from Lisbon. After a thorough analysis of both urban and historical contexts, the strategy consisted in developing a building that adapted to the tou-rists’ demand, transforming with the seasons. A hostel that appears only in summer, when the beach is crowded, and disappears during the winter, in a way to reduce both environ-mental and visual impacts within such a sensi-tive context. (Explanatory video: http://vimeo.com/111736446)

The project is structured around two main ideas: the recovery of the memory of the place through an operation of landscape archaeolo-gy; and the generation of a hostel that comes and goes with demand.

Stemming from observation and dialogue with the context, this building aims to exemplify a way of approaching architecture without im-position or aggression, reclaiming the social meaning of the profession, and offering a so-lution to other problems surrounding architec-ture. It states formulas of economical models based on ‘proximity with the environment’, relating to urban planning and architectural development ideologies, in opposition to spe-culative models and in favour of civic and so-cial values. The project is a personal stand on the imminent expectation of giving a profes-sional response based on simple approaches, in a proportional way to the real situation of our society and our profession within it.

The room unit, a key component of the hostel, is designed as a light, transportable element that can be compacted to the size of a parking space. It is composed of two different types of elements: on one hand, four deployable mobile elements that contain the different functions of the room, on the other hand, a container ele-ment that stores the mobile elements when the room is in a compacted state, and houses the bedroom function when the room is deployed.

During the project development this room was defined in its constructive, structural and m&e aspects. In the following pages some of the constructive documentation is summarised.

CHOSEN MATERIAL

Due to the system’s requirement for human operability, it had to be made as light as pos-sible. For this reason aluminium was chosen for most of the components of the room. Both the structural elements and exterior finishes of the containers were made using this material, although it was combined with wood, plastics and textile elements, always aiming at the goal of achieving maximum lightness.

This project was developed prior to the final year project, answering the same brief that would be developed in the following year. This brief asked to design a hospice at Capa-rica beach in Fonte da Telha. During this first exercise efforts focused on the site’s analysis, working with conceptual models and hand drawings, inspired by the suggestions of both natural and historical contexts.

This document summarises the work carried out between September and December 2013 for the course “Architectural Design 3 Explo-rations: Fill, Flow, Track on the isle of Rum” with tutors Lisa Moffit and Victoria Bernie at the University of Edinburgh.

Focusing less on sustainable metrics and more on the qualitative and experiential dimension of environmental conditions, this unit used the Isle of Rum as a site of speculation.

The studio focused on these dynamics, be-tween the shifting and the inert, the fixed and the sway, the systems that flow and those that resist.We explored the relationship between ideas that could be tested within the controlled envi-ronment of the studio and those that could be gleaned through field occupation. This cour-se focused on four contemporary disciplinary themes: drawing, environment, fieldwork, and scale.

SURVEY DRAWING PROPOSAL

The objective was to represent on paper the complexity of a river analysed in a survey. A ‘score’ of the river’s sound was created. This score was designed as a linear plot with an as-sociated time, in which all elements that affec-ted the sound of the river were illustrated.The result of the superposition of information on a timeline constituted the ‘score’ of the ri-ver. It is possible to observe within this score moments such as the places of greatest water speed, turbulent points, areas of calmer wa-ter... The proposed architectural project was a linear intervention along the whole river ra-ther than a series of specific site constructions, with major architectural proposals materiali-sing along four areas, chosen for their differing sound characteristics.

This project addressed the request of desig-ning a culinary university in the Madrid’s old slaughterhouse, now transformed into a large cultural complex.

Initial thoughts aimed at designing the univer-sity itself and how learning spaces could be de-vised, coming to the conclusion that the best option would be an isotropic space of smaller scale, in which the classrooms, study areas, kit-chens and common spaces were combined in a non-hierarchical way.

The Marrakech souk was taken as spatial re-ference, and its complexity was taken to the scale of the existing slaughterhouse space. The formal complexity of the souk was imitated through a modular element that would simpli-fy the construction and internal structure of the university, maintaining the anarchical as-pect of the souk.

This idea was achieved through three pieces. Three ‘tiles’ that combined in all directions generated a complex geometry that contrasted with the industrial scale of the spaces of the existing context.

Concept: Cells

The main objective was to generate a building system that could grow infinitely, through a se-ries of modular elements that would be fully integrated when combined, giving the building an organic look inspired by medieval urbanism.

The three modules fit together at their perime-ters. Each of them are subdivided into several smaller fragments, providing the whole assembly with the appearance of and irregular cell frame.

Dendrological CentreA dendrological and botanical university was to be designed in Nevada, on an area that in the 50’s had been a testing ground for nuclear weapons. Instead of designing a single building, the college program-me was divided into small constructions spread across the desert. Students moved through the campus in electric motorhomes. This decision was taken in order to address the hazardous atmosphere of the nuclear field, as it allowed students to move from one building to another without coming into contact with the exterior. These vehicles consume hydrogen, discharging water steam to the atmosphere instead of smoke. This brings moisture to the soil and allows the growth of vegetation behind the motorhome’s movement paths. This design aimed at transforming the desert area, ‘drawing’ green strokes of vegetation in the landscape through the movement of the homes.

UmbráculoThis proposal consisted of a canopy to provide shade and at the same time capture and project the diffe-rent atmospheres that exist within the New York Botanical Garden. A ‘foam’ rests on slender legs, under which visitors experience the different aspects of the park: all of the colours, sounds, smells, temperatu-res... collected throughout time in the botanical garden.

This idea is presented in a poetic way through a narrative that tells the story of Isidore Louis, a collector of atmospheres at the Botanical Garden.

Olympic HeartThe aim of this exercise was to design a pavilion for the organiser’s team to explain to the IOC committee Madrid’s candidacy for the Olympic Games in 2020. This building was to be a very striking architecture, capable of expressing the nature of the candidacy, but with a low cost.The proposal was an inflatable pavilion, called the ‘Olympic heart of Madrid’. It was composed -like a real heart, of a series of chambers connected by valves for visitors to walk through in the same order as blood flows through the heart. The transition from one chamber to the other consisting of valves, they produced tensions and strains to the textile building membrane through shifting air pressures. This mo-vement, seen from the exterior would resemble a heart’s beat. The reflective and translucent properties of the enveloping membrane’s material, along with coordinated lighting and video projections in the interior would complete the piece, which was constructively compo-sed of a series of skins and air propellers.

Housing in MadridThe brief involved the construction of a residential and office building on Alberto Aguilera street, in Ma-drid. The decision to raise the building as a stacking of different geometries and size pieces arose from an initial context analysis. The pieces were combined to generate a wide range of situations. The result was a terraced building in which public and private uses were mixed and in which each storey counted with a profusion of singular spaces.

La EnsaimadaLa Ensaimada is a proposal for a recreatio-nal building in Madrid. It challenged the brief ’s requirement of occupying an ur-ban void, placing the building over the roof-top of the block instead, leaving the site in-tact. The proposed architecture had a soft aspect, deformed by the contact with su-rrounding buildings, and inflating at the top.

Plu. AgurainIn order to solve various connection problems detected between different areas of the city of Salvatierra, a bridge-building was designed. Its rooftop was a walkable street for public use, from which a series of ramps connected the different levels, overcoming physical barriers. This residence building also introdu-ced activity in an unoccupied area.

The MaskThis mask design was made from flat patterns drawn from a study of the face’s geometry. The final de-sign was built in transparent methacrylate, by laser cutting the various flat parts and stitching holes and subsequently bending them with a heat gun. They were sewn together using nylon thread and an elastic thread for the jaw.

Micras CollectiveMicras is an architectural and space research collective formed in early 2012 in Madrid, Spain by a group of architecture students. Established by Sebastian Bayo, Ana Alonso, Ignacio Álvarez, Sofia Romeo and Miguel Sotos, this collective has made several ephemeral architectural installations in Madrid, Toledo and Copenhagen. It has also collaborated with Ceu San Pablo University, the European University of Madrid, and The University of Castilla-La Mancha, as well as with Madrid city council, collaborating for three years in the ‘Madrid GastroFestival’. In June 2012 Micras won the Dit Europa Festival competition, taking part with a one-week performance in Copenhagen. Some of these works have been published in the Spanish newspaper ‘El País’ and the popular architecture blog ‘Edgar Gonzalez’.

VideoSince the beginning of my architectural education I have used video as a tool to communicate architectu-ral designs. This is a very efficient format to synthesize and express in a direct way spatial suggestions and architectural concepts. Throughout my career, I have done freelance work producing short video clips for several architectural practices. I have also assisted Luis Úrculo, an internationally renowned architect and visual artist based in Madrid.
