The project consists of building a sports center dedicated to wind sports, especially kitesurfing. It is located in the area of the Sancti Petri marshes, Cadiz, in the south of Spain, where the winds are ideal for the practice of these sports, especially the easterly winds (east-southeast), with an average speed of 17 km/h. The environment of the Bay of Cadiz, is a privileged enclave, in which there is a vegetation of marshes and dune beaches. Special attention has been paid to the biodiverisad of the area which is very characteristic and rich in native varieties. Thus, when acting in the environment, the project is approached with the utmost respect for the existing species. The Center will be located in Punta del Boquerón, which will require the use of boats to carry the machinery and materials, as well as the construction of a dock for the arrival of visitors. The different buildings of the center will be built on platforms next to the shore. The design of the different buildings seeks to create architectural forms that continue to favor the current wind paths, with sloping roofs and marked geometries. The complex will include spaces for the improvement of sports: like a kitesurfing pool, gymnasium and changing rooms, as well as apartments for visitors, a cafeteria, exhibition and conference rooms and sports equipment stores.

Network of Existing Architectures
“The refugee crisis is a crisis of humanity”, it is a current problem. A problem that we have to try to face with measures that will gradually help to solve it. If each country commits itself, it will be part of a unity for the resolution of this crisis. Every proposal, no matter how small, is of great help. Albufera (re)conet aims to be one of these proposals to improve the current situation of a small percentage of refugees. This project is proposed as a network that connects different existing factories and architectures and, therefore, the Albufera of Valencia as a unit. ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN CARE

Site Plan
A catalog of the different existing architectures scattered throughout the rice fields is drawn up and a quick rehabilitation of these is proposed. That allows the constructions to be re-inhabited by re-organizing the necessary programs for the Reception Center, both along the Albufera and at the factory level. For that purpose, a support structure is inserted connecting the factories and the different uses along them. Programmatic units that activate life in the factories and allow them to be reconfigured as needed are attached to the structure. The aim is to create a Center that welcomes these people, a turning point that leaves behind their life of suffering and gives them the opportunity to revive and start a new life in a new place. 16 Architectural Portfolio

Museum, workshop and house for the painter Gerhard Richter
24 Architectural Portfolio
Site Plan
The project consists in designing a museum for the artist Gerard Richter and a residence for him in which he will have a workshop to represent the landscapes of the Albufera of Valencia. In the Albufera the landscapes are very changeable, both throughout the same day - with a multitude of colors depending on the time of day - and throughout the seasons of the year especially due to the water floods that allow the cultivation of rice, generating very different landscapes. Thanks to this, the artist will be able to find in this environment, a point of inspiration for his future works. Richter Foundation 25
In the museum, the aim is to show the visitor the artist’s creative process. Through 3 different rooms, each with different characteristics, the public will be able to feel how the painter elaborates his works. All the rooms are distributed in two different halls: a first sensory space where the visitor can put himself in the eyes of the painter, before moving to the second space where the exhibition of the new paintings will be shown.

The first room focuses on the perception of landscapes, but under Richter’s eyes. For this purpose, different types of lattices and architectural filters are used to simulate mist or visual interference, which make the viewer see the exterior landscape in a different way, under the view reflected by the painter in his landscape paintings. The second room is called “Photopaintings”. Through a path of filters, which simulate the brushstrokes of the painter, the public reaches the space that shows the author’s works based on this technique of mixing painting and photography of the Albufera. In the third room Richter’s abstractions of landscapes are discovered. Through glass treated with different prints, opacities and characteristics, the scenes of the environment are discovered under a new view.

First Floor Plan House and Workshop
The house and the workshop are designed to coexist with the changing landscape, with a hut structure on stilts. This type of hut shape is reminiscent of the native housing along the banks of agricultural canals, which are shaped to withstand the heavy rains that occur in autumn. The residence and the studio will be housed in two distinct units to separate work from life. In both, the landscape will be framed with large windows facing different points of the environment. As a result, a floor plan is generated in which there is a central tablet on which the different spaces and uses are inserted.

Site Plan The project consists of relocating the campus of the Paris School of Architecture La Villette to a new site in the north of the city, the old Saint Denis train repair station. The existing building is composed of two Cathédrales, with high-rise and large naves. The program should include dedicated teaching spaces (classrooms and workshops), a 350-seat amphitheater, a library, an administrative area and offices for the teaching staff.

The project consists of providing a space for single mothers in Havana’s Chinatown, where they can live with their children and which also includes common spaces and day care centers for the youngest ones.
Empty Plots+Sidewaks Plan
Buildings Plan
The general concept of the project, permeability and connection, defines both the treatment with the surroundings and the interior and exterior of the block. To achieve this goal, the empty plots that occur in the block, as well as the inner courtyards of the same have been counted.
Floor Plan: Empty Plots
In the plots resulting from the occupation of the empty spaces, the necessary buildings will be arranged to serve both the street, on the first floor, and the houses, located from the second floor onwards, saving the mezzanine. Therefore, a 5x5m mesh is used, divided in two to obtain a 2’5x2’5m mesh, where the main structure of the reinforced concrete building will be located.

The idea of intervention in the plot is to create a block where single mothers with children can live and work, thus providing an ideal space for the good education of the little ones. To this end, a series of stores and services are provided on the first floor, where they can sell the objects they themselves make in the premises located on the mezzanine, as well as certain premises for the care of children in children’s centers for different ages, where they can learn and be trained, in a favorable environment for this purpose in the center of Havana’s Chinatown. At the neighborhood level, the project seeks to connect and improve the different neuralgic points of Chinatown, with a revision of the main connecting roads. By prioritizing the different roads and streets, it is proposed the pedestrianization of some of the streets and the creation of a bike lane, allowing buses, cars, cyclists and pedestrians to coexist. Likewise, it is intended to reactivate the existing squares, creating new meeting spaces where citizens can socialize and also market local products. This intervention also seeks to include in these squares and gaps in the urban fabric, playgrounds and green areas that improve the whole neighborhood from an urbanistic point of view, allowing children to live in a safer area without so much traffic.

Site Plan - Cali Air Base Sport Center
The project is based on the idea of providing the city of Cali with public spaces associated with different uses and cultural and educational facilities to reactivate the city and its various nodes. The idea is to create an interaction between architecture and city, where the value of public space and coherence with the urban fabric is fundamental. For this purpose, the equipment will be housed under a structure based on a large folded slab that forms the roof of the buildings, located on the axis of the old runway. Giving rise to an aerial route from where it is also possible to access different parts of the buildings. This idea seeks to give homogeneity to the whole proposal. From track to field 49
