Ismael Chlebuš about me

I am an architecture passionate student. I was born in the city of Valencia and throughout my life I have lived in three different countries. From an early age, my fascination with the intricate interplay between cultures, languages, and architectures has fueled my commitment to becoming a versatile and globally-minded architect.

In 2019 I started my Architecture Degree in Valencia, looking to contribute my unique perspective and learn from diverse experiences, whilst being dedicated to pushing the boundaries of design and creating spaces that resonate across cultural boundaries.

01 | Nau Ership

We are located in an urban enclave of great significance for the future of the city of Valencia, as is the Grau area. Formerly a point of interconnection between the industrial area and the residential area of the city, with a large number of goods transported, there are vestiges such as the industrial warehouses on which we will focus in this project. These are a remnant of that era, but a remnant with great value.

We divide the floor into different modules and take one as a reference: the 6x6m. This module will serve us in its entire length, given that the bays are in any case separated by a distance of 6.6m. Different uses are established as program objectives: the main one (badminton) and the secondary ones: leisure and offices. In this way, we create a mixed-use environment that collaborates in local society.

We open up to the light thanks to a new skylight implemented at the top of the roof. We open up to the walls through the modules that remain in the opaque corners, enhancing them and making them visible, despite being in front of us, thanks to the opening of glass carpentry in those directions. We also introduce the street inside, and make the entire area a public area during the day, and closable at night.

The chosen materiality is diverse but always goes in the direction of maintaining the respect and aura of the industrial building in which we are. That is why the use of metallic materials, such as visible IPEs and HEBs, and the use of glass everywhere, with the intention of giving visibility and allowing the passage of natural light as much as possible .

02 | Who Cares

Venice, Italy group project | design studio - pbsa exchange year, 2023

Who Cares is a group of international students from the Hochschule Düsseldorf that in the year 2023 participated, together with the collaboration of the Biennale de Architettura de Venezia 2023 and the German Pavilion, with the Büro Juliane Greb in the construction of a self-sufficient bathroom and compostable materials for one of the most important cultural associations in the city of Venice, which has a large industrial warehouse in the city center, previously used for maritime commerce.

The project was initially developed as a competition, in which our project was chosen as the winner at a working meeting between the universities of Hochschule Düsseldorf and Münster, who provided us with technical support.

After our design was chosen, we proceeded to continue working on the technical aspect and materials, spending the part of the month of June in Venice for its final construction.

The design of the project deals with the characteristic brick walls of the industrial complex. These are solid and evoque a great front along the diaphanous space we have in the center. In order to try to adapt to this environment and create a space that dialogues with these walls, we set up walls that simulate this slowness, falling towards the walls, creating a diagonal that breaks with the verticality of the rest of the elements.

Within this remaining diagonal space, we adapted to the perimeter to establish an order of organizer cabinets that, in turn, provide service to the necessary facilities of the compostable bathroom, and allow its proper maintenance without interfering with its use.

03 | La Casa de la Palmera

València, Spain

individual project | design studio - etsav 3rd year, 2022

We are on the sea front of the city of València. The Cabanyal district. An old and historic fishermen’s quarter that used to build their houses longitudinally to the coastline, with a crossing ventilation that allowed thermal comfort during the warm summer months. This usual procedure can be seen on the existing plots of the current neighborhood.

One of them, the old Casa de la Palmera, was one of those destroyed during the attempt of creating of a 100m wide avenue that led the city to the beach. Thanks to the neighborhood oposition and the protest of society, this process was halted, but some houses had already been demolished. The aim of this project is to bring this house back to life, with a contemporary essence, respecting its original trace.

_ A new family arrives in the neighborhood. A young father approaches the plot, now empty and full of cars and notices that only the palm tree remains. In addition, the north face of the plot overlooks a median, in which certain traces of the old building are preserved.

With him come his two children. The father is thinking of granting a space to his mother, an older woman. And by space he means space in all forms: rest, storage and living. The father will have to leave a room - a small apartment - for rent, he needs a new income for the family. The opportunity for co-living that this entails is discounted, certainly interesting. With these premises well established, a new house begins, a new enclave of life. A new way to remember again, looking to the future.

04 | Herz Jesu Kirche

Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany group project | urban design - pbsa exchange year, 2023

The city of Mülheim an der Ruhr has one block of its urban plot that stands out for its lack of regularity compared to the rest of the city. This is composed of a church, currently disused and with serious energy deficiencies; with a residential building on one of its corners; and a kindergarten, whose courtyard overlooks the street line.

To return the use to these spaces and allow a public use between their intermediate spaces, we established an indoor public use in the church, changed the use of the residential building to one of student residence, given the proximity of a university, and connected the kindergarten with a small adjoining house, moving its courtyard to the back, alien and private side of the street line, creating a new public square in front of it.

On the other hand, at an urban level, we intervene directly on the four streets that evoke this space, treating their intersections in an orderly way and establishing new bike lane and parking areas.

In addition, the easternmost street in the area is pedestrianized due to its low level of road use, thus creating an additional point of stay where the neighborhood can spend time alongside the new services offered and the existing shopping offer.

05 | Illa Perduda de Russafa

València, Spain

individual project | design studio - etsav 2nd year, 2021

In the current city of València we find multiple neighborhoods that in the past were small villages and hamlets close to the city. These were gradually absorbed and included in the traces of the city, and in some cases, have preserved their original urban composition. One of these cases is the neighborhood of Russafa, in whose old town center, we can still identify these compositional lines, which mark us the current plots. In this case, this block of the city has been partially built.

This project aims to complete the construction of the block in its entirety, respecting the historical traces of the old village, and providing a new space for use in the neighborhood, both with facilities, green areas and parks, as well as with new residential areas to increase the existing high demand.

For this purpose, mixed and shared uses are established between the buildings, so that none of them is alien to the rest of the intervention. In an attempt to create spaces for communal use and renew the concept of equipment and public space, all these new buildings relate to each other through a kind of architectural snake that connects them, offering multiple spaces for different uses while allowing mobility and public-private interaction within them.
