The sites chosen for the project are a series of rural communities that have been swallowed by a dense urban fabric as the city grew during the 20th century. These communities, though half abandoned by their former inhabitants, still keep the singularities of rural life. The project seeks to keep the singularity of the sites and not to imitate the surrounding urban fabric. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/04_PLANTA2-01_1000.jpg" width="1000" height="1119" width_o="1684" height_o="1885" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/04_PLANTA2-01_o.jpg" data-mid="28556202" border="0" align="left"/> //1:1000 plan The aims of the project are to build an environment in which a link between the city dweller and the production of food can be established. Another aim is to add service, commerce and industrial infrastructure to a mostly residential area of the city, thinking particularly in vulnerable communities such as rural migrants. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/galeria_3D-01_1000.png" width="1000" height="905" width_o="1191" height_o="1079" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/galeria_3D-01_o.png" data-mid="19331306" border="0" align="left"/> //Detailed assembly of timber galleries <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/R02-01_1000.jpg" width="1000" height="923" width_o="1157" height_o="1068" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/R02-01_o.jpg" data-mid="28556584" border="0" align="left"/> //Detailed assembly of replacement housing In terms of construction, the project takes the form of a set of cantilevered extensions to existing high-rise buildings.

Such opposed architectures in terms of concept and materiality are linked by the daily use made by city dwellers of all class in their new lifestyle which includes the production and responsible consumption of food. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/09_SECCIN CONSTRUCTIVA2-01_1000.jpg" width="1000" height="991" width_o="1101" height_o="1092" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/09_SECCIN CONSTRUCTIVA2-01_o.jpg" data-mid="28569749" border="0" align="left"/> //Detailed tectonic interaction with existing buildings <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/12_MAPA VERNACULO-01_1000.jpg" width="1000" height="706" width_o="2048" height_o="1447" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/2645110/12_MAPA VERNACULO-01_o.jpg" data-mid="28548768" border="0" align="left"/> //Analysis of verncular timber architecture from the Europen Atlantic Façade "productive greenbelt on rural-urban friction environment in the city of Vigo, Spain" a final degree project at ETSAM, tutored by Izaskun Chinchilla The brief of... http://forgottenumbrellas.com/the-REACCITY http://forgottenumbrellas.com/following/forgottenumbrellas.com/the-REACCITY Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:56:14 +0000 forgottenumbrellas 1638598 "parametric architecture project for an urban development in northern Madrid business area" a level 9 project at ETSAM, within Parametric Architecture course directed by Prof. José Ballesteros. conceived by Gonzalo del Val (MArch), developed along with Elisa Marini, Laura Ordóñez, José Sanz, Alicia Vicente and Gonzalo del Val <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/11.jpg" width="670" height="388" width_o="1200" height_o="695" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/11_o.jpg" data-mid="8037060" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/01.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/01_o.jpg" data-mid="8037027" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/02.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/02_o.jpg" data-mid="8037029" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/03.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/03_o.jpg" data-mid="8037033" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/04.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/04_o.jpg" data-mid="8037035" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/05.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/05_o.jpg" data-mid="8037037" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/06.jpg" width="670" height="376" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/06_o.jpg" data-mid="8037041" border="0" align="left"/> Recession induced freezing of construction in the Spanish capital has created a number of unplanned urban voids. The team found one of those voids next to the M30 ring-road junction with A1 motorway, the site which was meant for the CICCM, a giant exhibition, auditoria and congress space whose parking areas will be the only part of it to be built. This site was considered to be perfect for the development of a so called program driven thermodynamic micro-urbanism. A set of architectural objects able to implement innovation in the fields of energy, arts and business. This micro-city has been called REACCITY, for short. The name of the project links with a main reference used all the design process long: the Reactable, developed by the Universitat Ramón Llull, in Barcelona. Reactable is a electronic instrument featuring a sensitive table and a set of pieces which moved over the table produce sounds. The characteristics of these sounds depending on the position of a piece on the table and its relative position among other pieces. This model is taken at a bigger scale as a base for our parametric urban design. We will be playing with 5 hyper-specific programmes: solar energy collection, vehicle exchanger, housing, open program and establishers. All of them change, grow, densify or disperse according to a series of parameters featuring on-site collected physical data, social dynamics or building regulations. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/07.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2048" height_o="1440" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/07_o.jpg" data-mid="8037044" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/08.jpg" width="670" height="458" width_o="2048" height_o="1401" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/08_o.jpg" data-mid="8037057" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/09.jpg" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/09_o.jpg" data-mid="8037058" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/10.jpg" width="670" height="473" width_o="2048" height_o="1446" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1638598/10_o.jpg" data-mid="8037059" border="0" align="left"/> A surrounding topography, along with access routes and paths create an infrastructure which is used as motherboard of the whole system, in order to implement the use of the site. As it happens with Reactable, the position of the first element starts a rhythm: the solar energy collector holds a set of photovoltaic panels with a structure defined by the shaded site area of the panels themselves. That energy will be used in the vehicle exchanger in order to charge electric car batteries whilst the building's earth-made thick skin releases oxygen in the environment. This skin holds the vehicles heat and is able to grow thicker in order to hold a larger number of plants, contributing to the overall air quality. The number of housing units depend on the number of cars in the system, and are devoted both for people using the vehicle exchangers and people working in the existing office towers or the open program that links to them. The whole project is conceived as a live and changing organism. The REACCITY is able to work as an optimised urban system based on the collaboration of the different programs featured in the system, generating a complex and dynamic environment. The control of this environment is through a set of parameters which act like filters or samplers, giving the city its rhythm.

This level is placed above the site held by steel supports, in order to minimize the intervention on the site, filled with fantastic aims of what may happen under the building. The slab would be covered by a lightweigh steel structure roof. Both slab and roof are pierced by patios, in which trees grow, and yellow plastic elements. Those plastic elements allow natural light into the building and the space under the slab and they also house access staircases and services eventually. In order to reduce the number of support in the lower level, structure is condensed on the façades in the form of steel trusses up to three meters high. Those trusses cover spans up to thirty meters, which takes the number of supports to a minimum. Steel trusses hold 200 mm thick counterlaminated timber slabs . The building is covered by a secondary skin formed by a metal net which supports several species of climbing plants. The design of this secondary skin changes according to the orientation of every particular façade. The intersticial space between the two skins houses bits of extra program. In order to offer convenient housing to people working in the offices, the building grows eventually. In addition, those crafts workshops designed to the village on the general masterplan are feature in the main level of the building, occupying spaces between the offices and the green secondary skin. The shape of the building in plan adapts to the space left by pre-existing houses and building, following a set of occupation rules. The generation of the plan by a set of rules allows the building to repeat itself in similar sites of the village. The possibility of growing ties the building to the development calendar of the overall masterplan. a level 8 project at ETSAM, within Juan Herreros unit under the 2010 brief Rural City, featuring an individual analysis and masterplanning project and an individual... http://forgottenumbrellas.com/madrid-football-school http://forgottenumbrellas.com/following/forgottenumbrellas.com/madrid-football-school Wed, 25 May 2011 02:35:49 +0000 forgottenumbrellas 1495446 "Athlético de Madrid Football School for children by river Manzanares" a level 9 project at ETSAM, within Mansilla + Tuñón unit The site given for this football school is now occupied by a huge Football Stadium which is meant to be demolished in the near future. the program to be built there features a 50 places residence for children, a sports centre with several indoor pitches and gym, a sports medical centre, the official Athlético de Madrid shop and a café.

The differences of levels in the site are taken not as a handi- cap but as inputs that help in the definition of that landscape and its aim of linking bits of city. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/maquetas pqns.jpg" width="670" height="216" width_o="2048" height_o="660" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/maquetas pqns_o.jpg" data-mid="6036335" border="0" align="left"/> The idea of courtyard informed the nature of the plinth, an edited volume of solid and voids that occupies all the available surface but at the same times leaves most of it as public space. The audittorium sits like an object on top. the landscape wraps up and around the object linking the plinth and the auditorium together. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-1.jpg" width="670" height="466" width_o="948" height_o="660" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-1_o.jpg" data-mid="6036425" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-2.jpg" width="670" height="466" width_o="948" height_o="660" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-2_o.jpg" data-mid="6036430" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-3.jpg" width="670" height="466" width_o="948" height_o="660" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/Untitled-3_o.jpg" data-mid="6036456" border="0" align="left"/> An important role is played by Kingsmeade st. As shown in the previous chapter, it was once a busy and main street in Bath. Tramways used to run all down the street. Today the street is interrupted by a block of public housing and public offices. The project wants to take advantage of this bizarre situation reinstating Kingsmeade street and joining it with its natural continuation: New Kings- meade street. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 1.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="2048" height_o="2048" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 1_o.jpg" data-mid="6036347" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 2.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="2048" height_o="2048" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 2_o.jpg" data-mid="6036366" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 3.jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="2048" height_o="2048" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado) 3_o.jpg" data-mid="6036381" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado).jpg" width="670" height="670" width_o="2048" height_o="2048" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/daniel_ovalle_costal_bath2010 (arrastrado)_o.jpg" data-mid="6036402" border="0" align="left"/> As it crosses the building, the street is not meant to be the busy road it used to be at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is meant to be soft, a landscaped pedestrian way that can also be used as a service way into the building. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1249253/dsn5_seccion1.jpg"

forested hill facing juan de herrera's most famous building: monasterio del escorial (S XVII), and the mountains of sierra de guadarrama. the brief of this project was more than ambitious as the diva needed both public spaces -for working or giving parties- and private spaces. in the late sixties, andy warhol started living in "the factory" -as he called the industrial space that would become the first loft in history. there, he both worked and organised parties. in fact, "the factory" was always crowded of people, so warhol used to go to his mother's apartment, a few blocks away, in order to have some sleep. this house for the diva wants to be both "the factory" and "mom's place": a large, diaphanous, quite labyrinthic space for working and partying, along with some out-of-context spaces that are cut and pasted form examples of ordinary housing buildings. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1160485/Captura de pantalla 2011-03-11 a las 23.36.21.png" width="670"

environment was very important too. three strategies are developed: the first one, the floor is always just a few inches over the land avoiding complete destruction of natural life in the site; the second one, the roof is always a few inches below the trees, so every autumn the leaves will fall over it creating a kind of self-sustained garden-roof; the third one, private spaces that are attached to the main room can vary its position vertically in order to control the degree of privacy of each one. the house's skin is also important in this relation. there are 4 different skins: the vertical farm, where little plants or vegetables can be grown; the green glass -which consist on double glazed windows featuring milk whey atomizers for seaweed culture-; the self-sustained roof-garden and the moss-skin, a thin layer of cork oak bark where moss can grow properly. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/90631/1160485/4_7 planta.jpg" width="670" height="958" width_o="2048"

account and willing to share his/her knowledge of any city in the world. users may participate in several social networks according to their academic/professional status or their geographic location. aim of the proposal after studying the increasingly common view of the city as a group of small islands, each of them around an underground station, the first decision was made. that view of the city needed to be destroyed, the first condition of this game was to finish with underground-driven mental map of madrid. how it works de bar en peor becomes tangible through iphones, blackberries and such devices. everyone playing the game may be monitored, feeding de bar en peor with geo-located data that inform a crowdsourced map of the city's nightlife. as users feed the map with data from their nights out, de bar en peor becomes increasingly useful. artificial intelligence algorithms sort out those data and translates it to highlighted or most popular nights out. a transitory project by
