TuanCheng Productive ParkHaidan, BEIJING, China.
December 2011.International Studio collaborating: Tsinghua University, School of Architecture UPC, Escola Tcnica Superior dArquitectura de BarcelonaResponsible tutors: Miquel Vidal, Wu Dongfan (in collaboration with , , , A.S. Rodriguez)
landscape architecture #111 TPP
The TuanCheng Sustainable Productive Park deals with the introduction of a large infrastructure -a regulation pond serving the whole city of Beijing with water com-ing from the South of China- close to a highly historical place: the Summer Palace. The design, illustrating the both Chinese and European backgrounds of the authors, takes as origin the questioning some of the characteristics of Chinese architectural tradition.
Rather than demolishing everything and designing a new park over, the project tries to mantain the current identity of the place, even if it is probably not the best area of the city. It gives value not only to the historical heritage, but to the very simple every-day settlement. The park tries to potenciate peoples place attachment rather moving them away. Also the design attempts to introduce productive activities into the park, allowing people who currently live there to stay. This is achieved through several spines coming from the sorrounding urban fabric, producing relationships all along a limit that was suposed to be a sort of wall. Hence the park becomes something socially sustainable and is able to give -not only recieve- something to the city.

Leith Docks Cultural HybridLeith Port, EDINBURGH, Scotland, UK.
June 2011.Edinburgh College of Art, University of EdinburghDiploma year (DipArch). Well-being StudioDiploma year Coordinator: Derek Fraser. Studio Tutor: Iain Scott
architecture #111 LDC
The project arises from a profound analysis of the characteristics of the place, spe-cially its condition of border between different parts of the urban and social fabric. The old Leith, with its strong identity, and the new Leith, still to be built, collide at the site; and the building attempts to be the physical representation of that colli-sion. Planned as a social catalyst, the project would concentrate the energies coming from those two layers of the city, building a bridge in a metaphorical (and also actual) way. Thus providing a public space of quality which can serve both sides of the im-aginary border is the main aim of the design.
The formal expression attempts to actually build the lines that underlay the memory of the place. But, is memory just what actually happened? Can one include what could have happened and never did? Sometimes the archaeology of the imagination reveals more truth than the archaeology of the reality.

ONS. I'm asked to write about intentions; about my architectural intentions in proposing an architectural experience
in a specific place. I have pieces of thoughts, fragments of an entire story that i do not know how to tell.so let's just write down that, let's write an architectural story made up by fragments. let's make a little bookwhich will really be a collage. let's play cards, cutting out chapters apparently disconnected and sticking them
again with the glue of my intention. some of them will be specific, others more poetic. some of them will becompletely banal, and others will be deep as the ocean; but all of them will make up my architectural manifesto.all this 'chapters', little stories themselves, will act together as the blinds in the painting on the left, sostrongly connected by the specific meaning written at the bottom that each one will need the others to acquire
significance and, if some of them falls, all of them will also fall.

Dal TVFIGUERES Castle, Catalunya, Spain.

architecture #210 DTV
sThis project for a new tv studio located at the Figueres Castle, so as the Catalan Space University, is about process. The design arises form the intersection of two se-ries of ruins or found architectures: one existing in the place; the other overlapped to it, coming from something apparently strange to architecture and traslated into it. The existing architecture takes place as the form of the castle, considering it as a heritage wecanmanipulate.Theotheronecomesfromthedefinitionof aterm(averb,anaction) related to the programme: to tune.
The different television waves of the different tv channels that can be tuned from the castle are drawn on the place, strictly following their scale, taking as axis the wall of the castle. These two architectures collide and provide space for the new uses. As in the CSU design, further structural and technical information is intersected with the aim of achieving an actual architectural material.

architecture #310 CSU
This project faces the power of the process of translation in the architectural design generation. The existence of something called the origin of the project is refused. Architecture would be hence a question of traslating information from something to drawing and from drawing to construction or the other way around. Taking an IsaacAsimovsscifishortstory,thearchitecturalinformationlatentonthestoryistraslated into a diagram to whom several purely architectural operators are practicated (sectioning,modelling,flattening,mirroring...).
Then this architectural entity is located on the place, somewhere on the border be-tween Figueres and its castle, so as to host the new Catalan Space University. At thatmoment,thatarchitectureisintersectedwithhighlyspecificprogrammerequire-ments, as well as with structural and thechnical information. The final aim is getting a drawing that is able to be subject of the last architectural translation process: the construction

Parliament of CatalunyaPl Glries. BARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain.
June 2009.UPC, Escola Tcnica Superior dArquitectura de BarcelonaDesign Studio VIII Main Professor: Aquiles Gonzalez. Studio Tutor: Andreu Arriola (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo, S. Azurmendi, A.S. Rodriguez)
architecture #409 PLT
The location of the new seat for the Catalan Parliament is in a highly strate-gical point: the Glries Square, one of the few points that Cerd left with a vague solution in his 1859 masterplan for the city of Barcelona. The parlia-ment would be on the North side of a large urban park, so the design pro-poses the creation of a hilly landscape that covers the whole site and attepts to invade the park.
This new parliament needs to be the image for a emerging society, but the design is willig to achieve more a conceptual image than a postcard-like clich. The design takes the idea that the parliament should build the link between the landscape and the society and between the society and the individual. The hilly section would be the Monserrat Mountains, but it also would be the Mediterranean Sea. Landscape, society and individuals are then joint by democracy.

120 houses at La BarcelonetaBARCELONA, Catalunya, Spain.
June 2008.UPC, Escola Tcnica Superior dArquitectura de BarcelonaDesign Studio VIMain Professor: Pere Joan Ravetllat. Studio Tutor: Jordi Badia. (in collaboration with A. Ameyugo)
architecture #608 BNT
This project faces a challenging situation: we are requested to build 120 dwellings ontheBarcelonetasmaritimefront.However,wefindtruly interestingthewayit confronts with the sea nowadays. We certaily believe that building something strange there would change radically the strong identity of the place.
So from this aspects we like arises the concept of the design: what would happen if we just build the way in which Barcelona arrives to the sea? Our building is just the built diagram of the actual spatial relationships occurring on the site. Two long andnarrowstripesflowbetweenthecurrentfrontandthecoast,attemtingtobeas less intrusive as possible. The stipes draw the spacial movements we like in la Barceloneta,leavingafreegroundfloorfortheactivitiesthatcurrentlytakeplacethere. We have just drawn the memory of the place...

The site for this large housing development is located in an old industrial area, with alreadyanexcessof openspaces.Inconfrontationwiththat,weproposetofillal-most the whole site with built space, to segregate and give value and meaning to the public space.
We also propose to replace the usual relationship of the house with the street by an-other new one with the sky. We propose to subdivide the public space and split it into every apartment. In order to do this, the most common typology in our building will lookbackinhistorytotheveryfirstMediterraneanbuildingtraditions.Wewillbuilda couryard house in the middle of the city, elevated from the ground and covered by a brick lattice. As a counterpoint to that introverted carpet, we propose a tower that looks further, linking the sea whith the site and the site with the whole city.

In the earliest stages of the design, an old map showing the previous urban division was taken and studied. In an attempt to formally anchor the intervention to the somewhat latent memory of the place, we selected the main lines of that division and extracted a basic pattern out of them.
The buildings are placed over this pattern, giving response to every different section. The very long and narrow buildings, recalling the the bypass below, contrast with the highly studied pavement plan. Six high buildings are located all over the intervention, givingmeaningtospecificplacesandcreatingvisualandpsychologicalconnectionsbetween themselves and the rest of the urban fabric.
