About me
My hometown, Tangier, was once an international zone under the rule of multiple nations around the globe. This rich historical context fostered a distinctive blend of cultural and linguistic diversity, which has profoundly influenced my worldview and approach to the world.
From an early age, I was fascinated by how languages and architecture play a central role in shaping human interactions and community structures. Both are legacies of our past that we, as the new generation, build upon to create the future.
During my studies, I developed a deep interest in computational design and its profound impact on modern architecture, particularly in how it helps us as architects optimize large-scale production processes to effectively meet the challenges of today’s world.

The project proposes the creation of a center that will accommodate a wide range of activities, both theoretical and practical, as well as research. It will include libraries, workshops, laboratories, four versatile performance spaces, classrooms, and both individual and collective work areas, along with a café with an option for workspace.

In the ground floor, there is an arcade that surrounds the entire building complex. The view of the arches in elevation is initially only perceived on the lower level, however, the same sequence of arches is visible in the brickwork that makes up the facade on the upper floor, as these bricks rotate around the same axis and offset (both vertically and horizontally), creating a play of shadows that reflect, similarly to the water surface in the exterior garden, the arches of the perimeter arcade on the ground floor.
It was established since the beginning the required spaces for the library as well as an approximate area for each of them. Once again, through the interconnected and combined use of Grasshopper and Excel, a study was conducted on optimal dimensions and spatial connections for the optimal use of the library.

Parametric foundation selection based on the loads of each structural column, the type of foundations selected, and the dimensions required.
Final model with all the parts shown.
Additionally, with the help of Grasshopper, a bridge connection with Excel has been made to label and number each of the parts that make up the stadium, in order to have a final global count and know the number of elements imported into the program, and to achieve optimal calculation times.
Some of the results according to the Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE)
Wind resultand (West to East)
Seismic resultant (modal seismic analysis)
Temperature resultant (steel parts)
Below, a series of graphs can be seen that show the saturation of each bar in the roof structure. The blue color indicates low saturation, meaning that the bar would be oversized under the current load conditions. The red bars would be those that fail to meet the standards of Eurocode 3. Since the model has already been optimized, these illustrations only show orange elements, which correspond to saturation levels between 90% and 100%.
Since the goal is to achieve a balance between an economically viable solution and constructive efficiency, the dimensions of all bars within the same group are based on the most unfavorable one, meaning the one that meets all criteria, even if this results in some parts of the model being oversized.
From the diagram, it can be understood how the forces concentrate in areas where the stadium changes curvature and where the overhang or height of the roof increases.
