Master’s Degree Final Project

Alicante 2016 Workgroup/// Luis Ortiz Martínez Tutor/// José Antonio Sánchez Morales

A population of 1.311 billion is currently living in India according to the latest studies of the United Nations in 2015. Nowadays, 7.35 billion of human beings inhabit the planet and the effects of this enormous growth are already noticeable.

This issue has been addressed and discussed over the last centuries from an almost exclusively sociopolitical point of view, resulting in a number of theories which in many cases adversely affect the population’s personal freedom. It has been treated exclusively as a matter of numbers to reduce.

‘1311’ portrays a future city, which does not fight the overpopulated reality that it faces. It accepts it and tries to adapt to it through remodeling a resource management network.

Master’s Degree Final Project

Alicante 2016 Workgroup/// Luis Ortiz Martínez Tutor/// José Antonio Sánchez Morales

PERCUTECTURA Concept/// Set of automata instruments which perform own melodies created from polyrhythms and melodic patterns based on the C pentatonic scale

Description/// A microcontroller [Arduino] is programmed to translate rhythms and voices from the score to a set of servomotors. Every part of the device is designed for appropriate stability, sound and aesthetics

Methodology/// Research on material, constructive and technical issues through the experience of devices scaled 1/1. Programming with Arduino

Topic/// ARTEFACT_ architecture & magic Alicante 2011/2012

HOMELESS IS MORE

Proposal

Data collection Description/// An intervention on the standard Athenian street model is carried out after a thorough analysis of the social infrastructure as well as of the psychological effect that space has on a group of users

Methodology/// Hands-on experience during a week long stay in Athens in order to live and observe the social aspects from which the project will be developed

#Self-managed parks Visit to Navarinou park. The neighbours collaboration creates green areas in the city

#Colonnades This kind of places are repeated throughout the whole city.

Opportunity sites

#Street dogs Large crowds of street dogs are fed by the citizens

#Homeless Lot of people begging on the streets.

Many of them with university studies

#Child poverty Crowds of children play in the street for a few coins or ask for money from tourists

#Street art We checked how the streets are the new canvas for artistic expression

HOTEL ON TABARCA ISLAND

Proposal for IX HISPALYT contest // Published with ISBN 978-84-941370-5-1 Concept/// Tabarca island is a place rooted to the sea. How to highlight the view of the Mediterranean sea? How to revitalize the old defensive wall on the seaside? How can you be in a building and on the street at the same time?

Description/// All rooms are connected by a walkway that concentrates circulation flows and links the inner space with the sea. Rooms are arranged according to the directionality of the wall, leaving small garden spaces between them. A ceramic latticework covers the building like a fishing net to give continuity to rooms and public spaces

Methodology/// It is constructed with prefabricated modules. The roof is built with extruded ceramic triangular pieces so that it can be mass-produced

Workgroup/// Rafael Miralles Armiñana_Rubén Martínez Sanchís_Raquel Plaza González Alicante 2015

MINSK

Topic/// Urban intervention in Minsk Alicante 2014

Concept/// Urban intervention in a former industrial area of downtown Minsk to revitalize it and integrate it into the new dynamics of the city Description/// Urban proposal is based on the connection between important points of the project site in order to create a homogeneous network of uses ordered according to dynamic and fluid mobility.

Densification points are spread across the area trying not to give any of them more importance than the rest so as to reach a variety of opportunities throughout the area

Workgroup/// Rubén Martínez Sanchís_Rafael Miralles Armiñana Tutor/// Vicente Iborra Pallarés

Inserting the project in the city

Selection of buildings which do not favour the regeneration.

The large central line is identified as a mobility and permeability problem

Cross-connections providing fluidity. Reinforcement of longitudinal axes connecting to the city centre. A U axis linking the two sides of the river is proposed

Block design #Type1

Axis are sketched in order to get fluidity and natural movement throughout the area

Spatial coherence geometry

parcels’

Insertion of inner patios and relaxed areas that embrace the block as a group

Insertion of parcel heights trying to reach certain density in the site

Densification at certain points by height correction

Demolishing buildings in the area and traffic redirection

in

the

Block shapes defined by the streets. Both sides of the river are connected by the tram

Methodology/// Design based on parameters such as visibility, mobility or densification.

[Designing process in the layout] New buildings are raised in order to get a variety of building types to allow a mix of uses and create a homogeneous activity network

We start from one of the blocks of the project site

Network of public squares which allows the emergence of leisure areas.

VOLVO OCEAN RACE MUSEUM Published with ISBN 978-84-606-9876-0 Concept/// Modular and transportable museum with the capacity of being assembled and disassembled in every port according to the race schedule (2 weeks) Description/// Persuasion, permeability and linearity are the main points of the project. Restaurant and conference room are located enabling its visibility from the promenade while allowing contact with the sea.

The museum is placed on the first floor to get the best views and it is shaped with a linear path that leads visitors through the exhibition Methodology/// Assembly friendly modular system of prefabricated containers
