To whom it may concern, My name is José María Lavena and I’m a Junior Architect graduated in Architecture at the High Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM), in October, 2011 with 3 years of experience. I am a hard working person with great capacity of effort and overcoming. I have a high sense of responsability, good capacity of analysis planning and creative. I am effective in the managment of time and resolution of problems. I am used to work in multicultural areas and also to work in large or small teams. I consider myself as a good comunicator with excellent capacity of relationship, empathy and with high motivation. While I was coursing the architecture degree at the Polytechnic School of Madrid I was awarded with an international student scholarship from the Università Roma Tre, in Rome, where I spent a year in 2007. The following year I took an International internship in CVDB Arquitectos in Lisbon, Portugal, during which I collaborated in different kinds of projects and scales that you con find in my enclosed CV. The internship gave me the opportunity to broaden my horizons, improve my social skills and, most importantly, I learned how to work in a team. Over the 10 months I have been in CVDB Arquitectos we have been awarded in several occasions. Now I’m working at Ensamble Studio / Antón Garcia-Abril since November 2011 developing different projects, research and academic courses. I entered as an intern but I’ve been developing my skills since then and I’ve grown up as an architect. Now I’m the Manager of the Madrid’s Office and also Chief Architect for a tower in China and the MIT Campus. I would appreciate the opportunity to talk to you in order to discuss my interests and qualifications in more detail. Should you need any further information do not hesitate to contact me in the address stated above. I look forward to hearing from you.

The Cloud is a dense space built with a very light material, it is 98% air. Based on 7 modules of identical massive volume: 2.4 x 6 x 2.4 m., each of them is shaped differently to generate a unique space, thus getting: the stage, the patio, the step, the circus, the cinema, the assembly and the scale. 7 spaces as the 7 notes that compose the musical scale, which combined together produce very different sets of sounds, multiple scenes that accommodate simultaneously reading, playing, rest or conversation activities. The material that shapes each module, expanded polystyrene, is assembled in a massive way ensuring optimal mechanical performance, and is protected with a layer of resin that completes the construction system providing what the foam does not have: stability, durability and color. The lightness of this technology makes movable what would otherwise be immovable, facilitating the handling of the pieces and their necessary mobility. The Cloud is a space within a space. Designed to be placed in the Reader’s House, in Madrid’s Old Municipal Slaughterhouse, it is architecture at the scale of children between 1 and 12 years old, where the youngest ones discover a universe custom-made, to develop and learn, to hide, to escape, to create and recreate, finally in a space that plays by their rules.

Each of the seven participants will display his or her unique take on scientific processes used in achieving a certain balance between abstract concepts and their actual implementation, transcending the finished product so as to open a new window to the reasons and emotions that made them possible in the first place. SPAINLAB stems out of a clear strategy: proving that the true value of Spanish architecture does not lie as much in the final image it materializes, but showing instead that its real future demands support and attention to personal investigative processes. None of the seven installations tries to display certainties; on the contrary, all of them are but an excuse for each team to keep investigating, test its ideas, build prototypes of their work in progress and share their liveliest body of work. The images, works and sketches resulting from this research will be displayed in the pavilion at their rawest, as if they were set in an unfinished space or in an architects’ studio. This atmosphere of constant creativity will enable several different, sometimes conflicting, approaches to architecture. They all share a Common Ground –the theme of this year’s Biennale-, which is their commitment to our time and culture. Despite their seemingly disparate careers, there are several defining characteristics to them all: All of them are working internationally and their attitude towards their discipline operates beyond styles and trends, which is often risky. They transcend the mere construction of buildings towards the creation of private but tangible universes to best serve the society they live in.e, finally in a space that plays by their rules.

Ensamble Towers define a flexible housing system that is able to respond to both social and economical current and future demands. It is no longer a question of designing fixed layouts to optimize, and many times strangle, the square meters of our living space. It is a question of designing a versatile and generous space that is easy to configure, a space where many possible lives can happen; and in order to achieve this we have to be able to design the optimum frame that will enable this kind of space.

Flower Tower is a flexible system that optimizes the construction of high quality office space. Its design takes as a useful reference the efficient and beautiful systems found in nature, in particular the flower, observing its form, its structure and its function, to achieve an equally balanced design. The result is a dynamic system, alive and adaptable, that feeds into the infrastructural network provided by the context becoming an active element of it. The structural scheme is simple but rich: a series of floor plates (calyxes), formed by 60 identical beams (petals), stack vertically connecting through their central core, where loads are transmitted to the ground. Perimeter structure tie the outer rings of the calyxes stabilizing the cantilevered structure. Petals are accurately engineered elements of great technological sophistication that contain everything the space needs.

MIT needs to implement innovative solutions to respond to current technologies and world organization, developing new programs and resources that make education universally accessible. MIT Campus consists of a by-pass, a linear city, 1 km long, wich develops MIT’s spine and cloud in Kendall Square where 13 new platforms appears with new faculty buildings. It organizes an structural corridor, a new public space and strategic collection of academic and non-academic uses. It’s a new vision of how MIT Campus should evolve to match its radically innovative education and research agendas to the architecture that contains them.

The Tippet Rise Centre for Music and the Arts in Montana is located in Tippet Rise, a privileged site with a powerful landscape where a trio is formed between the jagged line of the mountains, the smooth line of the rolling valley, and the reflective plane of water accumulated in the winter. Conceived as a stage for cultural activities dedicated to landscape, music and the arts, the design challenge is to create a unique experience for the Montana, preserving and enhancing the contemplative landscape while orchestrating infrastructure to accommodate present and future needs. The project embraces the spirit of the fundamental elements and defines a new spatial horizon over the landscape. The scheme is conceptualized in a concerted act of three spatial components – the bridge, the walls, and the music hall – completing in the form of a triangle. Contained in the symbolic form of the air, the center is a landscape intervention that seeks to establish a territory around the triangle, where nature is enframed by structures and left untouched. Learning from deformation found in nature and aging structures of different period, fabricated structures is to be cultivated by the fundamental elements and excited by the air touching lightly on the earth.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: José María Lavena Merino was a student of mine during his Final Architectural Project last year. I was so able to appreciate his interest in and dedication to the subject, as an expression of his desire to complete his training as an architect. He showed great determination to improve and worked hard thus progressing to finish the course most successfully. He was also an active participant in class and was obviously very interested academically. José María amply demonstrated good teamwork skills. He was a valued member of the workgroups with which he was involved and was appreciated by his fellow students as a naturally and adaptable positive person. He showed a great ability to work for the benefit of the group as a whole. I have been able to confirm his creativity and self-awareness, discipline and determination. At all times I have found him to be reliable and hard-working, completing his jobs with care, precision and ability. It has been a pleasure for me to maintain a friendly relationship with José María owing both to his qualities as a dedicated and interested student and his delightful personality. I told him in the highest regard personally and academically and therefore and it is with complete faith that I give him a strong vote of confidence and the highest recommendation. Yours, sincerely:

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
José María Lavena Merino has been a student of mine during the Architectural Projects course last year. The supervision of his academic work in this area enables me to say that José María demonstrated his ability as a competent and thoughtful student. During this year that I had him in my classes, I had the opportunity to evaluate his coursework and to see his academic progress. With time, José Maria’s studies have shown an increasing seriousness. I am fully confident of José María’s working skills and his ability to continue in excellence. José María is well prepared in all the subjects that he has already coursed as his projects reflect so. The effort that he has made demonstrates his level-headed and determined nature. I have no doubts about his ability to adapt himself to new living conditions and academic circumstances. It is with complete faith that I give José María Lavena a strong vote of confidence and the highest recommendation, both academically and personally. Yours, sincerely:

He interacted in a very professional way in the team work and he was also able to make friends amongst the office staff. He has always shown a capacity to improve in relation to his work and to be dedicated and committed to the process of learning architecture through experimentation and debate. He shows a perfect knowledge of the Portuguese language that he can speak without any accent. His social personality also helped him to make a lot of friends in the office and he still visits us every time he travels to Lisbon. I believe that his spirit and ability will prove to be what one really needs to take many steps towards new fields of knowledge in architecture, in the future. I sincerely hope that these qualities will help him to find his path in the field of architecture and we hope that this internship could be somehow useful in his professional future and architectural development. Lisbon, 6th of October of 2011.
