I AM A MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARCHITECT

All my life has been about art and music. It is hard for me to draw lines to separate all my different qualities, even chronologically.

I am an Architect (Master of Architecture by ETSA in Seville, Spain), Designer, Photographer, Videographer, DJ, and a TVC Actor, professionally. Still, I am an amateur sax player, philanthropist with a curious mind, father of a lovely eleven-year-old boy, and the happiest husband.

About my locations: I was born in Spain in 1971. From 2007 to 2011, every year I spent almost half a year in Senegal and The Gambia in West Africa. Since 2011 I have been based in Shanghai, China, spending a few months a year in Switzerland

I have traveled to over 33 countries so far.

To my shame, I have only this level after almost 10 years in China. I started to learn when I arrived in 2011 and in few months I managed to have basic conversations, but at some point I started to travel and spend too much time out of China, then the lack of time, and later on, I met my wife who speaks fluent Mandarin... Going back to the studies is my New Year ‘s resolution.

This is the main language spoken in Senegal, The Gambia and Mauritania. When I started to spend time in Senegal (French speaking country) I decided to learn wolof instead of French in order to get closer to the people. Maybe not too useful, but I love it.

Usually I build the 3D model with Sketchup or Audocad and I render it with V-Ray. I founded my knoledge as Photographer very useful when I have to set the lights. I use the same techniques that I use in real life.

I was a master in Windows enviroment 15 years ago. I haven’t used it since then but I can get back into shape fast.

Due to my proficiency in Architecture, I am good at techniques designing simple mechanism, complex construction and in production.

I have worked as a music designer for restaurants and clinics in Switzerland, Spain and The United States, also as a music adviser for videos.

Tecnolaser Clinic in Seville (Spain) Architecture Project

Task: Architect; design and construction.

Description: Clinic for ophthalmological specialties in Sevilla, Spain.

Project designed in collaboration with Sol 89.

Located on one of the lots of the former 1992 World Expo in Seville, a tertiary landscape saturated by singularities, inheritance of the pavilions of the Expo, the project was to address a number of medical specialties proportional in their surface area to the capital invested by each of them. From this proportionality, we proposed a section in the manner of a bar diagram, making up three concatenated voids that form a large space around which the circulation and activities of the centre develop. This yields a compact volume, rough and opaque to the outside and excavated inside, using the void and porosity as fundamental matter in the project.

The architecture becomes what is in the middle, between the built. We make ours the Debussy quote: the music is not in the notes but between notes. The void is formalised through the superposition of plan variations that have the same porosity distributed in different ways, creating courtyards, terraces and voids. Circulations run parallel to the void, to one side the circulation for patients, and to the other the circulation for medical staff, so that they only meet in the areas that make up the specialties and that float over the inner void.

Wenjing Park Building

Architecture and Landscape Project

Task: Architect.

Description: Project for an office building in Xian.

Wanke

Lobby

Architecture Project

Task: Architect.

Description: Project for a lobby entrance in a residencial complex.

The lobby is part of a landscape intervention where nature is the main idea.

It is inspired by a leave and bamboo forest.

The company’s name is an acronym of Sharing Office For All as the same time the word “SOFA” has connotations of comfort and homeliness.

For the logo we decided a direct and straight font, avoiding any graphic reference to a “couch”, as long as the relation is just conceptual plus we didn’t want it to look like a furniture store logo.

QUICK PORTFOLIO
