‘There is no trick in magic, because we all know there is one. It should not be forgotten that the magical effect is not what the magician shows. It is not an impossible event, but what the viewer, inside his brain, is witnessing’. Under this phrase, quoted from Juan Tamariz’s magic book (‘El Arcoíris Mágico’), the project emerges. Great Oportonities won’t fight against an enormous enemy, nor try to resolve immeasurable tasks or point out social and economical flaws. It is built for fun and leisure only. It steals from Oporto, from what is known and what is lived, and materializes the city in a garden for the amusement and delights. Extracted from real gizmos and tricks, the techniques applied to magical acts are reconstructed and introduced in those effects that pop up in location as individual chunks of the city. Facades disappear, ghosts become real, and gigantic structures float above out heads. These meandering contraptions sit on the garden under the rules that compose Dark Rides, such as the Haunted Mansion, or Pirates of the Caribbean in order to give the spectators the most compelling and engaging adventure.
COME AND SEE AND GO Link to Project
‘Come and See and Go’ is born after the idea of condensing a two and a half hours show in 15 minutes, making it most profitable, fast-paced and spectacular. The Monument: regarding Madrid monumentality what was chosen was El Teatro Circo Price, due to the enormous history the institution holds, making it the representation of Spanish culture through laughter, risk, and wonders. The Client: after studying the show ‘Alegria’ by Cirque du Soleil, the whole show was dissected into minimal chunks which represent each and every one of the numbers in the act. Thus, introducing these chunks into the Price it shows the opportunities and disadvantages of the preexisting architecture, making it clearer when reducing the whole show to a 15 minutes experience. The Making: thanks to tools such as Augmented Reality, graphs which show the spatial conflicts in the acts, and numerous architectural plans, a new ‘choreography’ was created, in which none of the acts collide to one another. This was possible thanks to the implosion of the Monument and the destruction of the previous architecture. The Product: ‘Come and See and Go’ is a new experience in the field of scenic arts. Why should you watch a show which embraces movement while sitting in a comfy chair? Come, and walk, and enjoy the wonders of modern circus in a show where people stand spellbound with amazement. Be delighted by the platforms, suspended trusses, marvelous acts, and performances in the world’s grandest, largest, best, amusement institution: the Circus! ‘Come and See and Go’ is coming to town and it is not going anywhere.

FOREST UNDERCOVER Link to Project
Forest Undercover consist of the creation of a workplace for the company Factum Arte, directed to the digitalization of antique documents in the isle of San Giorgio, Venice. So, those documents located in the Cinni Foundation can be carefully transported, scanned and cataloged in the privacy the island provides. What is proposed is a textile construction system suspended from the preexisting tree trunks, creating a diaphanous space where to allocate the digitalization machines. This is possible through the implementation of a series of umbrella-like structures acting both as a support for the cables and the cover, thus eliminating the need for pillars, masts, and beams. The workspaces are allocated in the forest regarding the needs for each one, such as storage, digitalization, or tourism, and developed by the study of the workflows of Factum Arte. This creates a different space and architecture depending on the location of the tree trunks, which can be easily built and lifted thanks to the umbrella-like structure.Due to these structures and textile covers, the forest is left untouched and without damage, and so, when the work of digitalization is finished, Factum Arte can easily gather the architecture and send it to the new location.

CONSTRUCTIVE SITUATIONS [THE HAUNTED MANSION]
The Haunted Mansion. Architecture, Effects and Magic Link to Publication Tutor: Juan Elvira
After the multitude of years experiencing architecture and developing a magicians job, the Haunted Mansion dark ride (Disneyland) came to mind. And so, due to the interest in thematic design, scenic construction and show creation, this publication was born. ‘The Haunted Mansion. Architecture, Effects and Magic’ aims not to mention how the Haunted Mansion works, but to learn from the inherent thematic design. Not only Theme Park Design was studied and reported, but a handful of techniques were thrown into the mix. Techniques such as: magician tricks and inventions (misdirection, timing, logic misguiding...), architectural design (in its construction and developement) and narrative writing (through acts, crescendos, rests and climax). A publication acknowledging not only how a trick is constructed or when it was thought, but taking a step further in research by explaining why it works and how it correlates within the whole system. The work aims to narrate architecture from small to big. First, how every single scene takes place in itself, and later explaining how this placement harmonizes with the rest in the attraction. And so, with all these techniques observed in the Haunted Mansion, the comparison with architecture in its ‘purest form’ is constantly revised. What can we learn from the attraction? Which tricks can be applied to architecture and then create a more compelling experience? What is it that architecture giants can extract from this 15 minutes adventure? With all its complexity, this is just a love letter to the Haunted Mansion, performative architecture, magic and thematic design.
