master’s final project

The project is located in the Albufera Natural Park, a site characterized by the convergence of different interests. In this context, the aim of the project is to generate an urban intervention capable of unifying these interests and creating an architecture that is suitable for everyone.

The CV-500 road is considered the great incision of the Albufera, a place where these diverse interests physically converge, making it a strategic point for creating the union between the natural and anthropic world. The intervention focuses on the recovery of old buildings – a rice drying building and an old cabin – located on said road, near Perelló. Moreover, one newbuild building must be added to these renovations.

The programme includes an agro-ecological market of products from the Albufera, a center for for the development of a sustainable agriculture with study areas, and housing for researchers and for the growing tourism in the region. All of this will be unified by a vertebrate axis: the CV-500

This small intervention is part of a large-scale operation, which aims to accomplish the “3Rs”: to regenerate the current electricity supply system, to restore the area through lower-density interventions – in tune with the area’s landscape value – and to reduce private transport by promoting sustainable mobility.

final degree project

This work aims to study graphically those processes or architectural facts that could be involved in the staging of a flamenco show, thus relating dance and architecture, disciplines that always seem interesting to me.

Throughout history, many authors have proposed different ways of graphing movement, some from the discipline of dance, and others from architecture. In this way they have established a link between the two subjects. However, this research aims to go further, developing a graphic tool that can be used as a design method. To this end, the Alegrías de Cádiz, one of the most represented and clearest styles in its structure, is taken as a case study.

In order to deal with all this, we will first introduce the Alegrías de Cádiz in its context, and then approach the different graphic ways of transcribing the body. This will give rise to these study parameters, with the final aim of carrying out a comparative analysis.

Firstly, the elements and processes involved in a staging are identified, thus defining five pairs of concepts that establish a relationship between dance and architectural terms. With them, plans or diagrams are then drawn up that concentrate the most relevant ideas of these concepts.

Con el caray caray caray estas son las cosas que pasan en Caí, que ni la hambre la vamos a sentir, que mire usted qué gracia tiene este país. Si tu te creíste que m’habías engañao, si tú eres romano que yo t’e caláo, si vienes de Roma yo vengo también, si tú eres de Caí, yo

This

A characteristic part of the alegrías marked by its sensuality, the braceo and the ethereal, where everything superfluous is dispensed with in order to contemplate the dancer's body. It is located within the carefree and relaxed atmosphere that the dance section itself transmits, and serves as a point of inflection and relaxation for what follows (escobilla and remate por bulerías). A correlation can be established with the undulating movement of Isaadora Duncan (nudity, harmony, nature, spiritual balance, etc.).

In 2018, coinciding with the centenary of the birth of Sáenz de Oíza, it is proposed to recover the original site of the project, with the aim of developing a second white tower fifty years later.

A residential building is proposed where each dwelling is conceived as a hut in the forest, taking Oíza's approach of a vertical garden city to its most radical expression. The building is designed as a large tower that rises out of the ground like a tree, in which each dwelling is entirely surrounded by vegetation. Each of the dwellings is different from one another, which gives the whole an organic character, where the only thing that remains unchanged throughout the building is the massive communications core that connects all the floors. The organicism of the building is reinforced by the growth of overhanging vegetation, small trees, the treatment of the concrete core in the form of a tree trunk, etc.

With regard to the treatment of the plot, and respecting Oíza's ideals, a macro garden is created that unifies both projects, with vegetation native to the area.

“Building around”: densifying and requalifying an existing building

The aim of the project is to carry out an intervention on an existing building in order to comply with the European requirement to design near-zero energy buildings. The object of study is a residential building known as Piazzale Clodio, designed by Luigi Pellegrin between 1955 and 1958.

Firstly, it is proposed to purify the building's grey water by means of phyto-purification, a system located on the roof, which not only acts as a thermal insulator, but also contributes to biodiversity. The water collected is used to irrigate the plant panels on the façade, as well as being recirculated to the toilets and for cleaning the outside of the building.

The façade is covered with either zinc panels, a sustainable and recyclable material, or with plant panels. This intervention contributes to the reduction of noise pollution, climatic comfort, air purification and increased biodiversity.

Rainwater is also reused to irrigate the façade and the roof garden, using a tank located in the courtyard.

Finally, there are photovoltaic panels on the roof, capable of supplying 52% of the neighbours' energy needs, and a biomass boiler, which reduces gas consumption. The remaining organic waste is used as compost for the vegetable gardens, thus closing the compost cycle.
