SUS TA I N A B L E S EL F / LI VA BL E N ET 2017 GRADUATION PROJECT. INDIVIDUAL WORK TU DELFT The first stages of this projects have a strong research approach. The main initial focus is on sustainability and livability as two important dimensions of urban environments that are normally found to be in a constant imbalance. The achievement of a sustainable and livable city is hindered by the constraints of urban form. Density, in particular, has a crucial role in defining the performance of urban environments in terms of livability and sustainability. Research shows that higher levels of density tend to result in more sustainable and less livable environments, and vice versa. In contemporary research, the understanding of the reasons behind this issue represents an urgency.

The manifestation of this imbalance can take multiple forms. Being it an eminently abstract issue, its reduction to a manageable and well-studied problem facilitates research and the exploration of possible solutions. In this respect, the Urban Heat Island effect is a phenomenon that represe nts the essence of the issue and that is closely linked to spatial factors. The manifestation of the UHI effect in Mรกlaga (Spain) constitutes a concrete problem, especially in the context of temperature rises and an aging population.

The heterogeneity of Mรกlagaโ s fabric, where different levels of density are present, can both explain the uneven manifestation of temperature in the city and define limitations and potentials regard ing the exploration of solutions. From an analytical point of vie w, this work seeks to define a criteria for the characterization of different density environments and a way to understand how temperature relates to their form through different scales.

From a design-oriented perspective, the goal is to define a systemic approach to the issue and explore the ways in which urban form shapes the spatial manifestation of the solutions.

In this particular case, the proposed solution is based on the generation of a metropolitan-scale system of vegetated corridors. This system accommodates, by itself, some powerful cooling functions and, more importantly, also enables the impleme ntation of a city-scale water system, capable of purifying, storing and discharging water and using it for an enhanced cooling down of the city.

At a local scale, design demonstrates its true potential as enabler of the metropolitan system. The technical aspects of the design at a metropolitan scale need to find a compromise with local constraints and potentials. The same spatial principles (water, shade, vegetation, permeability) can be presented and integrated multiple forms.

Ultimately, the introduction of physical measures would not only help to mitigate the UHI effect, but constitute a step towards the necessary balance between sustainability and livability. (Good) design is crucial in the process of unfolding each of the sites’ potentials and results in a clear addition of qualities to both the built and public realms.

P OWER SCA PI NG F L EVO LA ND 2016 R&D STUDIO: SPATIAL STRATEGIES FOR THE GLOBAL METROPOLIS. GROUP + INDIVIDUAL WORK TU DELFT “To what extent can Flevoland transform itself into a sustainable energy landscape?” At the group stage, different spatial strategies were developed at regional level to explore how Flevoland, one of the provinces of The Netherlands, could take a leading role in the transition to renewable energy sources.

These explorations take into account existing features of the territory, as well as different energy scenarios in order to offer a vision that takes into account the whole energy spectrum: the production, distribution and consumption of energy (Fig. 1).

Team members: Francisco Marín Nieto, Kritika Sha, Anouk Klapwijk, Marcello Vietti, Jiabiao Lin Five crucial spatial interventions would help to reach this vision, one of them being the transformation of subsiding agricultural land into floodable areas with the capacity of growing energy crops or storing water (Fig. 2 and 3). This intervention was developed individually and explored the landscape qualities and functions that could be compatible with different degrees of subsidence.

1 Initial state

UP GR A D I N G TH E R I V ER RO TT E 2016 R&D STUDIO: SOCIO-SPATIAL PROCESSES IN THE CITY. INDIVIDUAL WORK TU DELFT The site chosen for the studio was the River Rotte, in Rotterdam, a natural/urbanised axis along which the city has developed in a heterogeneous way. With a special focus on the human scale and a strong design-oriented approach, the goal was to improve the qualities of the river ’s urban landscape, aiming for higher levels of social integration and an increased livability along its banks.

Each section of the river offered a different set of potentials and limitations, which could evolve into multiple design approaches. The project displayed on these pages shows the example of one particular urban block which, due to its position in relation to infrastructure, remains isolated from any ped estrian life. Furthermore, it acts as disconnection between the urban and suburban sections of the river.

In order to revert this situation, the project proposes a series of small, progressive interventions at different levels (infrastructure, buildings and public space) (Fig. 1). Regarding infrastructure, the goal is to solve the conflict between the intensity of transversal transit and any possible pedestrian/ bicycle traffic along the river. As for buildings, the project aims for the readjustment of the built form in order to add mixed uses, permeability and human scale. Finally, the operations in the public space try to add a different quality to the empty area among buildings, creating a meeting point for the community and a space with a special phenomenolo gy, which derives from a reinterpretation of the hortus conclusus (Fig. 2).

CH ICAGO CH I L D R EN’ S M U S EUM 2014 ARCHITECTURE GRADUATION PROJECT UNIVERSITY OF MÁLAGA The project aims for the integration of Chicag o’s new children’s museum at the city’s Lakefront. In Grant Park, current regulations do not allow the presence of buildings or volumes above ground level. The project proposes the creation of an underground, parallel public space, which occupies part of the existing parking garage and extends towards Lake Michigan, to which the museum’s program is attached. This is done through two different operations: on the one hand, the qualification of the existing parking garage through a series of perforations; on the other, the juxtaposition of a new void volume, which serves as an underground connection between the Park and the Lake.
