Rosana Rubio Hernández. PhD in Architecture (ETSA de Madrid, UPM, Jan. 2016), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) PhD Extraordinary Prize 2015-16. Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design & Research (Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation, May.08). Master in Architecture, (ETSA de Madrid, UPM, Dec.99).

As part of her dissertation she has developed a series of switchable glasses based on electrochromic and liquid crystal technolgies.

This last one achieved a provisional patent in the US (2008), became part of the MIT’s database of light interacting materials D-Lite (May.08), and has also been presented at several international conferences including: Glass Performance Days in Finland (Jun.09), and the Feed Back Event, at the EyeBeam Center for Art and Technology in New York (Mar.08).

She has received several scholarships including the prestigious La Caixa Award to Fund Graduate Studies in the US (May.06-Jun.08) and the Rafael Escolá Foundation’s Research and Development Grant, to develop an electrochromic glass prototype (Jul.04-Oct.02); a work for which she received the first prize in a national research award in Spain (Dec.04).

Her research interests include: the “performative” capacity of matter in architecture, i.e. matter as a trigger of architectural, and landscape architecture form, space and atmosphere.specifically, she is intereted in glass and light interacting technologies, and in water and water systems in urban landscapes. Her work has been published in Scientific Journals and books. She has been the curator of the exhibition series held annually at the GSAPP, in connection with the Columbia University Conferences on Architecture, Engineering and Materials: “Plastic Chains” (Mar.11), “Metalsmyths” (Sep.09), “Concrete Trajectories” (Oct. 08) and “Trough Glass” (Sep.07).

Currently she is Associate Professor and Academic Secretary at the Universidad Camilo José Cela University School of Architecture.

Since 2010 she has taught part time in various Architecture Schools in Madrid and Liverpool, in the UK. She has also taught at the University of Virginia School of Architecture in the US (Ag.08-Jun.10), at ETSA de Madrid (Sep.04-Sep.05), and has participated as guest reviewer at the GSAPP and at Barnard College, both in New York (May.08-Jun.06).

As an architect she has extensive construction experience. She has been the Head Technical Officer for one of the most important building companies in Spain, NECSO (Dec.00-Jun.02), and has collaborated with various architecture offices, among them: Carlos Puente (Nov.04-present), Javier Maroto and Alvaro Soto (98-99) and Gabriel Ruiz-Cabrero (1994-98). In 2002 she founded her own office, in collaboration with Ángela Rodríguez Fernández, and ever since she is building and working in design competitions, having been awarded internationally in various occasions.

This portfolio is a selection of her practice and research work since 1998.

AMDS (Atelier Madrid Design Studios): Social Housing Brief and course materials samples AMSD (Atelier Madrid Design Studios) is an enduring urban laboratory focused on the city of Madrid as scenario. The students take part in a discussion about ongoing specific urban problems. Issues of public space management, configuration and design, archeological sites integration, infrastructures and natural systems conservation, as well as new building and environmental design and management strategies, are at stake.

Methodologically, historical and socioeconomic research is involved. Also, nature based solutions are incorporated. Mapping technologies, such as GIS, and varied ways of documenting the city, like sketches, video recording and photography are explored.

We have worked both in Madrid city center as well as outskirts, delving in different issues and architecture and landscape programs, such as social housing (AMDS: Social housing and urban regeneration), heritage preservation and retrofitting (AMDS: Reinventing Heritage), peripheral landscapes design (AMDS: Peripheral Landscapes), among others.

AMSD: Social Housing and Urban Regeneration

A pie de calle exhibition flyer

This Design studio is Based on the theme and format of the exhibition “A pie de calle (Grassroots): social housing and urban regeneration� dedicated to the study of contemporary social housing in the processes of urban regeneration, where students of mine were involved in the curatorial production.

It is well-known that housing development holds a key for the future of cities, and has a decisive influence on factors such as security, social integration, protection of the environment, development of the economy, and employment. This grassroots approach proposes learning from experience accumulated from cities worldwide: international cases of urban regeneration in which social housing assumes distinct roles and degrees of prominence. Students in this class systematically analyze a series of examples, through a set of drawings, data, and concepts, while they design a social housing development in an specific area.

Case studies elaborated in collaboration with the students

AMDS: Reinventing Heritage Brief AMSD: Reinventing Heritage The exclusive attention to the monumental character of architectural heritage in Madrid city center has brought with it the neglect of other urban values. This design studio faces questions such as: What would happen if we consider the inhabitants of this neighborhood as an integral part of its patrimonial value, attending to their daily needs, to improve the environmental quality of gentrified urban areas?

Students in this class propose alternative programs that balance touristic interests with those of the neighborhood inhabitants. At the same time, they face urban form problems caused by ancient constructions and infrastructures (monuments, city walls, old water supply systems, etc.), working on proposal for their retrofitting and update, while maintaining their value as architectural heritage.

AMDS: Peripheral Landscapes Student’s work samples AMSD: Peripheral Landscapes “Once the center-periphery equilibrium is saturated and having been demonstrated the unsustainable separation between the spaces of work, leisure and accommodation, experts turn their sight towards the idea of the polycentric city: a compact city that integrates all its needs around small centers.” (El Pais, 07/17/2002) Following this approach, this ongoing design studio focuses on peripheral neighborhoods of Madrid that the Town Council has identified as having the potential to become new urban centers. Students in this class attempt to restore these areas’ public space and landscape, and to revalorize their cultural heritage, in order to build identity landmarks for the neighborhoods themselves and for the entire city of Madrid. Based on extensive materials (plans, surveys, demographic studies, etc.) provided by the various institutions involved in this urban strategy (Madrid Town Council, private corporations, etc.) and supported by the students’ field work, as well, an analysis and diagnosis is produced in groups of four. Subsequently, design proposals are worked individually. Concepts such as site specificity and cultural landscapes are at stake, as well as heritage preservation criteria. Implementation of nature based solutions, for the improvement of these areas, both aesthetically and in environmental terms, is also encouraged.

Metabole Metabole es la raíz etimológica de la palabra metabolismo, significa cambio. Con los crecientes efectos del cambio climático es necesario fomentar y materializar el cambio de paradigma hacia modelos sostenibles, tanto urbanísticos como culturales. El proyecto tiene como objetivo generar un modelo de parque que metabolice y disminuya los recursos utilizados que afectan al medio ambiente. Además pretende generar en los ciudadanos una cultura de responsabilidad y de concientización sobre los recursos que se utilizan y que afectan el medio ambiente.

Área de recopilación de aguas grises Humedal de fitodepuración

ciados a edificación

1: 15 000

Humedales artificiales de fitodepuración La principal estrategia es el aprovechamiento de las aguas grises de viviendas, colegios y oficinas del barrio. Las aguas grises provienen del uso doméstico: agua utilizada al lavar la ropa, la vajilla, el suelo, la higiene personal, etc. Generalmente estas se unen a las aguas negras (con contenidos fecales) y son depuradas en Estaciones Depuradoras de Aguas Residuales (EDAR). El proyecto propone mantener las aguas separadas dentro de la red de saneamiento y redirigir estas a zonas verdes. En estas se las tratará con humedales de fitodepuración. La fitodepuración es un proceso de purificación de agua en el que determinadas especies vegetales (macrófitas) eliminan patógenos del agua y absorben el exceso de nutrientes. Una vez purificada el agua podrá ser utilizada para usos recreativos, agrícolas o de ajardinamiento. Se propone incorporar 2.2 hectáreas de humedales capaces de purificar 4700 litros por día, aun insuficientes para metabolizar los 140 litros por día por habitante de consumo promedio. Al incorporar agua a las zonas verdes se puede recuperar la flora y fauna propia del lugar: vegetación de ribera y fauna asociada, especialmente aves y anfibios. Los humedales, a la vez que acondiciona climática y estéticamente el espacio, diversifican los usos y fomentan la biodiversidad.

Zonas de oportunidad Las zonas de oportunidad son espacio vacíos o infrautilizados dentro del barrio. El proyecto propone asociar estas áreas con zonas urbanas, según el relieve, y así proveerlas de agua, ya sea por recolección de aguas pluviales o por fitodepuración de aguas grises. El uso de estas zonas será decidido y gestionado por la propia comunidad para generar una cultura que se responsabilice, tome conciencia y partido de los recursos utilizados que afectan al medio ambiente. Se propone el uso agrícola y la creación de viveros ornamentales para su futura comercialización dentro del propio barrios. Esto empoderará a los ciudadanos, fortalecerá la identidad del barrio y a la propia comunidad.

Movilidad Dentro del proyecto se contempla interconectar tres áreas verdes con la peatonalización de tres calles de poca frecuentación. Por otro lado se propone ampliar el carril bici existente para interconectar los espacios de uso dotacional y fomentar de esta manera una modo de circulación sostenible y la vida activid dentro el barrio.

Building Materials and Technologies. Seminar Brief and course materials samples Lecture and “hands on� based course focused on the culture, history and technology of building materials in architecture and engineering.

Ranging from basic to expert levels these various courses are based on my approach to matter as a socio-cultural, scientific and technological construct and as architectural form and space trigger.

Through a series of lectures and case studies, based on my own teaching and research materials, students in this class learn about how materiality and building technologies have affected architectural design historically while they learn to implement material solutions in their own design process. Students apply the architectural culture and technical knowledge they gain in this class to develop construction details framed in a set of material concepts, such as tectonic vs. stereotomic solutions, massive vs. light construction, durable vs. perishable materiality, phenomenology, among others.

Elements of Sustainable Design. Seminar Brief and course materials samples Lecture and “hands on� based course focused on sustainable building materials, technologies and systems.

Introduce students to the basic concepts and strategies that involve sustainable architectural and landscape design.

The driving idea behind the seminar is not only to contribute to students understanding of efficient strategies to save energy, water and material resources, but also to do so without neglecting proper reflection on aesthetical and qualitative architectural values.

Through a series of lectures and case studies, based on my own teaching and research materials, fundamental sustainable concepts in architecture and nature based solutions in landscape architecture are taught. Simultaneously, students translate these ecological benefits into their own design operations, regarding composition, form, space, tectonics, materials, color, textures, proportion, position, or relationships in the built environment.
