Personal Statement Hello! I am Alejandro Oest, a junior architect who recently graduated from the TU Delft with a master’s degree in architecture. I have four years of professional experience working on residential, hotels and office projects alongside senior architectural staff in internationally renamed offices. This portfolio is a sample of academic and professional projects from 2018 to 2022. It portrays my interests in design, architecture and how we shape our built environment. I am passionate about the field of urban architecture. The new technologies are reshaping the way we travel, interact and live. Cities are increasingly evolving, which requires architecture to develop as well. As architects, we have the opportunity and duty to explore and apply these innovations. Working at one of the top architectural offices will allow me to pursue my passion for sustainable and innovative architecture and further grow as an architect.

Future Bank | Revitalizing the UrbanBrusselsBlock
Master’s Thesis In these times of social, economic and ecological change, and given the im portance of National Banks, one could consider these institutions as agents of change. Banks could use their high institutional power to implement chang es that favour the social conditions of cities and their inhabitants, changes in policies that are more ecological and sustainable for the future and changes in economic policies to help people and promote and finance exciting projects.

The National Bank of Belgium, located in Brussels, is the ideal building to test these hypotheses. Built to its limits, the introverted nature of the complex reflects the historical need to secure Belgium’s financial reserves within its walls. Since its completion, however, there has been a fundamental shift in the demands placed upon it. Industrial functions, such as printing and storage of currency, have moved out of the city or abroad. At the same time, finance is increasingly being digitalised. In response, the National Bank has decided to redefine itself physically. The architectural proposal for the transformation of the national bank is guided by essential principles in line with the Graduation Studio. Transformed to respond to contemporary needs, it provides a frame work or scaffolding for collective public life. “Interiors Buildings Cit ies” emphasises the structures and histories of representative pub lic buildings while recognising that their functions and responsibilities to society and culture have been constantly reinterpreted over time. Firstly, an urban approach is taken, analysing the environment and context of the building, looking for current deficits and how these could be transformed into opportunities and solutions for the com munity. In this sense, the project’s relevance lies in the attempt to reactivate the urban block by opening both the building and the bank to the general public and the neighbouring community. Optimising the spaces of the bank and adding residential, leisure, catering and other functions, allows the building to open up to the public, mak ing it more attractive and achieving a revitalisation of the urban block.

Building deficits Project ambitions
The height of the buildings is aligned with the neighbouring buildings and is adapted for optimal illumination of the site.

Three new volumes form the new square, connecting the upper and lower part of the neighborhood and create new entrances
All ground floors have public uses. Social houses, student apartments and bank offices are located on the upper floors of the volumes.
Surgical demolition of the misused bank spaces after careful analysis and internal reorganization and optimization workspaces and services.

In addition to the new square, a new courtyard is created, much larger, open and with green spaces for the community.
The square and the courtyard also serve as links between different parts of the site. these connections optimise the circulation in the neighbourhood.
The new form of the building integrates much better into the urban fabric of the city, connecting it to the surroundings and accommodating new functions and occupants.
The new volumes to the east and the tower house residential functions while the rest of the building will serve as the bank’s offices.

Bank Offices Around the square, the three buildings offer different functions. The tower houses public functions on the ground floor, such as the cafeteria, a public library and shops. On the upper floors, due to the lack of residential options for students, the symmetrical plan offers different-sized rooms for students as well as relaxation and study areas. The tower serves as an intermediary between the upper and lower levels. It is adjusted in height to the new Max Dudler development to the east, and next to the bank’s new entrance, it slopes downwards, reaching the height of the buildings to the west. The new head of the central bank building houses new, much more spacious and luminous offices. The residence building to the east creates a system of terraces so that the building takes as little light as possible from the square. The dwellings within this building fit into the remaining structure of the previous building. An extension at CLT enlarges these spaces and makes them capable of accommodating the different residences.

One of the project’s goals from the beginning was to improve the inner courtyards. by removing the two annexes from the inner part, the inner courtyard “grows” and creates much more ample and brighter spaces. The new volumes create a connection to the new courtyard in addition to the square. The space is divided into several parts with different heights to deal with the height difference in the topography. The inner courtyard is divided into the public area for the inhabitants of the area, visitors and passers-by, while to the south, the courtyard for the workers is elevated and only accessible from the palace and the bank cafeteria. As in the square, the ground floor around the courtyard offers spaces for people. Supermarkets, cafés, a bike repair shop and bike parking facilities. The palace building is currently in disuse. By restoring functions to this magnificent building, reactivating it and integrating it into the new block, a connection to the square is created by opening the existing doors. A new entrance/portal to the new courtyard is thus created.
Current banking hall Gallery spaces

The bank houses on its upper floors an extensive collection of artists’ art on its upper floors, currently inaccessible to the public. By making the banking hall a public art gallery, the bank gives these artists the opportunity to be seen by a multitude of people and to make themselves known. It is a space of interaction for all the public, connected to the new plaza.

Youth CoburgHostel
BA 8
Thesis The newly built youth hostel in Coburg is located in the area of the old freight station, on the opposite side of the customs office. The youth hostel‘s aim is to offer a pleasant stay to various guests, from individual travellers, families, couples, to school classes or student groups. The community is at the heart of the hostel concept. All target groups are addressed by the varied design of the individual common rooms. The building is given a simple, rectangular floor plan and is arranged along the development axis of the northern development area. A square will be created between the youth hostel and the customs office. In addition, a new cycle path along the banks of the river Itz will be connected. The building is divided into three levels. The first level, on the ground floor, will serve as an access level and offer both guests and external persons the possibility of being served inside or outside the cafe. The next level is on the first floor. Here you will find the reception, the cafeteria and the lounge area. The upper levels extend over the last three floors. These levels contain all hostel rooms and the temporary apartments. The hostel also offers sports facilities in the indoor sports hall and an indoor climbing wall.

Concept
Extrusion of the plot. Cutting the volume along the axis of the northern development area forming a square volume. Cutting out the entrance to connect the building to the public space. The central atrium guarantees ideal lighting of the common areas. On each floor there is a common room with a terrace, which is accessed directly from the staircase for the hostel users allowing many views of the city centre, Veste and more. diagrams

Often football stadiums are located more isolated on an open area and are surrounded by the necessary additional buildings, such as parking lots and sports halls. These buildings, which differ mainly in size, form the urbanistic complex of the stadium. The design is based on the idea of combining all required facilities in one building. Therefore, all necessary buildings will be arranged around and adjacent to the stadium. This stadium structure will be supplemented with additional uses, thus creating a megastructure that plays with the volumes and a terraced landscape. The central idea is the creation of a new city district, which is built around the stadium. Above all, the alternative use of the infrastructure created by a stadium is one of the most important aspects. Therefore the effec tiveness and productivity of the created infrastructure structure is to be increased sustainably by a higher utilization. This is achieved by adding additional uses for example a sports campus, office space for start-ups and student accommodation. The large number of parking spaces can also be effectively utilised in everyday life through shared use. Electric car charging stations and car sharing parking spaces are also offered. In addition, there are new bus and tram stops for public transport and numerous bicycle parking spaces, which can be used extensively, especially in connection with the university. Siteplan
Concept sketch
Our proposal: the stadium structure will be supplemented with additional uses, creating a megastructure that plays with the volumes and a terraced landscape. Additional uses: a sports campus, office space for startups and student accommodation as well as the KSC HQ (soccer team). The terraced landscape of this megastructure integrates itself into the surroundings Schlossgarten.

Competition - 1st price A modern residential quarter is going to be erected by PANDION on a lakeside plot near the shores of Lake Albertussee in Düsseldorf-Heerdt in the course of a new construction project. The property spans roughly 42,000 square metres, the gross floor area roughly 66,000 square metres. A total of around 700 apartments will arise, 40 per cent of which will be subsidised housing. The lake whose name was given to the project and the popular Heerdterhof Garden recreational area are located in the immedi ate vicinity of the plot. Commencement of construction is scheduled for mid-2021, completion of the entire site is supposed to occur in 2025. The project volume amounts to roughly 216 million euros. A mixture of linear structures and point-block highrises is intended to ensure a diversity of visual axes and look-through vistas in the direction of the lake. The pointblock buildings shall be designed by Hadi Teherani Architects.

36 Waterfront Hotel Tower Frankfurt
Situated at a prominent location in Frankfurt’s riverport Hafenpark quartier and within sight of the ECB highrise, the draft sets a new example for the growing importance of this banking metropolis. Not only a significant structure exhibiting a broad, cantilevered extension arises by the waterside at the cusp of the jetty between the Osthafen and Honsel Bridges: a oneof-its-kind riverbank area with a beach club is created in interaction with the hotel lobby and “main hall”. The hotel with 300 rooms for guests and constructionally recessed boardinghouse with 120 rooms for guests on the 12th floor above the Skyline Bar and spa experience Frankfurt from a magnificent perspective. The southern and northern façades fan out increasingly strongly to the east. As a consequence they make it possible for very many rooms to have a view of the skyline to the west. The hotel lobby ascends to the “main hall” with a bar, deli and event area offering a spectacular view of the Main river and skyline. A curved, free-standing staircase leads the visitor across the atrium into the restaurant and confer ence zone on the 1st floor.

The architectural concept aims at the location’s unique nature and residents. The industrial impulse of the surroundings is taken up by using a stringent building module and simple industrial materials. Simple expanded metal is modified into high-quality and durable façade elements through delicate detailing and surface treatment, thus using an industrial product to create a contemporary, modern façade that gives the site its unique identity. The interplay of fixed and foldable shading elements creates a lively façade that creates charming spaces and interstices in the play of light and shadow, creating an exceptional spatial quality.
The former Zündapp site in Munich Haidhausen is characterised by the charm of the former industrial area. It offers attractive living and working spaces for the creative clientele of the media, IT and design industries. In addition, the urban master plan for the Werksviertel with its planned con cert hall will appeal to people who appreciate an upscale urban quality of life as much as the industrial quarter atmosphere of the location. People with individuality and a penchant for modern simplicity, who at the same time have a high demand for aesthetics and quality.

The 20-storey tower on the greened square, the link to the Werksviertel, makes a striking urbanistic statement about the necessary densification of the city, but at the same time creates the scope for diverse open spaces and numerous flats with a direct connection to the greened residential courtyards. The project comprises 42,000 square metres of gross floor space. There will be 360 flats, 30 per cent of them subsidised housing, a day-care centre for children with eight groups and 1,600 square metres, 1,000 square metres of restaurant and commercial space on the ground floor, a hotel with 360 beds and a two-storey underground car park with 440 parking spaces. PANDION SOUL is scheduled for completion by the end of 2022. Concept functions Siteplan
The subtlety of translucency, light and shadow, of open and closed, protected and extroverted areas, together with the simplicity and efficiency of the building typology derived from the site, is the basic architectural idea of the design.
