So, this is when the DOTSMAP appears. 

It is the physical answer to the territory, 

or, in other words, this is the 

apparent face of the reality which 

people is going to perceive as a fact. 

It is the contrzctual agreement between 

the the thing itself and its reflection 

in the human thinking.

But, if we codify this data as a density 

measurement related with a physical 

space physcal space of the housing we 

obtein the BARCODE. 

The BarCode is the symbolic mirrow in 

which the apparence of reality looks at 

itself and it finds the density of 

money around the river. 

The BarCode represents a new language 

in which the city springs up just as an 

image about THE EXPECTED MONEY.

So, what is the expected money?. 

It is the dream of the city itself. 

In this connection, the dream of the 

money is the dream that never ends. 

It is the image in which the city finds 

its ANALOGOUS CITY. 

It is what every city would like to 

pretend to be. The fancy dress which 

every city want to wear.

_WORKSHOP 2

_PROJECT: 

In Madrid, in the Tetuan District we 

can find HYPERTUBE. An urban action 

which seeks to join the idea of an 

urban bench with an urban playground. 

Having this as the background for a new 

action the idea is to produce a space 

which works as a catalyst of different 

urban experiences in the area. 

Three user are thought for the project, 

the parents with small kids, the teenagers 

and the BarBarrio users. 

And one only element will produce the 

whole system. The gas recycled pipes. 

This is HYPERPIPE.

_WORKSHOP 3 

THE THICKNESS OF THE FAÇADE

_PROCESS: 

The first step is to make a research 

about shared spaces in the city of 

Madrid. 

To study the different levels of privacy 

and the size of the group of people 

sharing that space. 

It can be the whole city, a neighbourhood, 

the users of a certain business,... 

And, after doing that, the point is to 

undertand how the different levels of 

pricavy increasingly overlap through 

the city. 

Understand how the city is a succession 

of layers in which the users share the 

space to develop activities under a 

certain level of privacy.

_PROJECT: 

Every building owns a certain number of 

layers in which people carry out different 

level of activities by sharing the 

space. 

In that way, the thicker the façade be, 

the more activities could take place. 

But, what would happen if the whole 

bulding is the façace?. If the building 

is organised by a public skeleton which 

goes through its inner space producing 

a succession of architectural events?.

_WORKSHOP 4 

MATTER AND CODIFICATION

_PROCESS: 

Considering the matter as something 

able to storage information it is proposed 

a classification of the information 

in three groups. 

These three main groups are INCIDENTAL, 

INSTRUMENTAL and ENCODED information. 

That is, the matter will always try to 

tell us, if we had enough knowledge, 

the story about what happened to it 

just for existing in a certain physical 

reality; what happened to it according 

the way it has been created and, finally, 

what happened to it when somebody 

wanted to use it for carrying a precise 

message.

01 MATTER AND CODIFICATION. INCIDENTAL INFORMATION 

01.06 – DEGRADATION 

The flag of the Netherlands was officially adopted on February 

19, 1937. 

At one time this tricolour flag was orange, white, and blue, as 

those were the livery colours of William of Orange, a Dutch 

prince. In the 17th century, red replaced the orange as a flag 

colour, because the orange dye used on the flag was unstable, 

and turned red after exposure to the sun.

02 MATTER AND CODIFICATION. INSTRUMENTAL INFORMATION 

02.02 – PHASE TRANSITION 

Bruder Klaus Field Chapel all began as a sketch, eventually 

evolving to become a very elegant yet basic landmark in 

Germany's natural landscape. The design was constructed by 

local farmers who wanted to honor their patron saint, Bruder 

Klaus of the 15th century. 

Arguably the most interesting aspects of the church are found 

in the methods of construction, beginning with a wigwam made 

of 112 tree trunks. Upon completion of the frame, layers of 

concrete were poured and rammed atop the existing surface, 

each around 50cm thick. When the concrete of all 24 layers 

had set, the wooden frame was set on fire, leaving behind a 

hollowed blackened cavity and charred walls. 

The unique roofing surface of the interior is balanced by a floor 

of frozen molten lead. Gaze is pulled up by way of obvious 

directionality, to the point where the roof is open to the sky and 

night stars. This controls the weather of the chapel, as ran and 

sunlight both penetrate the opening and create an ambience or 

experience very specific to the time of day and year

03 MATTER AND CODIFICATION. ENCODED INFORMATION 

03.02 - FALSIFICATION 

Sheffield Park and Garden is an informal English garden laid 

out in the 18th century by capability Brown. 

The English garden, or landscape garden, is a kind of garden 

which emerged in England in the early 18th century. It 

represented an idealized view of nature inspired by the 

paintings from Claude Lorraine or Nicolas Poussin and the 

Chinese gardens which had recently been described by 

travelers by that time. 

An English garden used to include an irregular lake, curvilinear 

paths, jumbled groups of trees… and a ruin of classical temple 

or a gothic building. 

But all of it is artificially constructed. From the plot of land, 

which is designed in its form, its movements, and the way 

small hills and prairies are combined, to the apparently 

accidental way in which the trees are disposed. 

It is also designed the lake´s shape, always looking for 

combinations of concave and convex curves. And, of course, It 

is also a recreation the building´s ruins and all the picturesque 

architecture.

01.01 - TRANSFERENCE 

The project looks for solving the extension of the “Museo de 

San Telmo”. 

The Museum of San Telmo, in its current state, is but the result 

of a long process of successive modifications to partially 

altered its physical and functional character over the years. Its 

location on the fringe of contact between the urban structure 

and topography of Mount Urgull reflects-moreover-one urban 

problem very characteristic of San Sebastian: the solution of a 

boundary never completely solved between natural and 

artificial landscape. 

It is located in a transition environment between the urban area 

and the natural one. 

It is that position as a border area which makes the facade plan 

work as an intersection between the two worlds. That border 

plane looks for a continuous transition, trying to assimilate the 

natural context on the artificial one. 

In that way the building is defined by a perforated sheet in 

which moss, lichen and will eventually surround the building. 

In order to design these pieces the architects have worked with 

the artist Leopoldo Ferrán and Agustina Otero. The result is a 

combinatory set of pieces made by iron melting. 

That façade them will modify appearance according with the 

seasons. In that way it will melt with the surrounding vegetation 

or will reappear after a time due to the passage of time.

01.01 - APROPIATION 

The “Centro de Creación Contemporánea de Córdoba” 

(Contemporary Artistic Creation Centre) is a building destined 

for the artistic creation and pursues to connect the architectural 

space with the art and people. 

The building is situated in the district of Campo de la Verdad- 

Miraflores, on the south bank of the Guadalquivir. With 12,207 

m2 will have 4 floors, including the basement and cover, and a 

media facade facing the river through lighting and video 

systems can project images. 

Its external image is based on the use of just one material: 

reinforced concrete panels (GRC), which, at the same time 

cover both the opaque and the perforated facades and define 

the building´s roof. 

The river´s façade is the main building´s face to the outer. It´s 

conceived as a screen perforated with several geometrical 

gaps which host a monochrome lamp LED. Through using 

certain software videos and texts are generated on the façade 

and find their reflection on the river´s water sheet. 

In that sense the river becomes as the real building´s façade. 

During the day natural light will filter through the holes and will 

light up the inner space.

02.06 - INMATERIALITY 

The Museo Interactivo de la Historia de Lugo (Interactive 

History Museum of Lugo) is a project in which architecture and 

landscape melt together park-museum. 

It is a kind of picturesque English garden which links with the 

city´s green areas sequence hidden underground parking 

areas. 

On the surface a constellation of cylindrical lanterns spring up 

dispersed on the green and continuous field. 

The Museum and Visitor Center is organized essentially in a 

single lit through large circular courtyards that introduce natural 

light to the interior and allow independent and controlled use 

plant. The main courtyard emerging as contemporary 

cylindrical bastions until recently a place populated by 

industrial silos-the most unique exhibition halls and become 

higher than the external image of the new building. 

The exhibition area has been designed from two types of 

spaces, one neutral and flexible, suitable for exhibition panels, 

interactive modules or cabinets with original pieces, and 

another defined by the three cylinders, unique spaces for their 

shape and dimension suitable for audiovisual installations and 

projections. The largest of these is a "black box" of 500 m2 and 

10m in height, which will house museum facilities made with 

new media and technologies. 

The towers emerging from the garden are covered externally 

with a corten steel mesh that incorporates artificial lighting at 

night will light the new park. The Museum of the History of 

Lugo will experience a walk through a metal plant and 

landscape, a light field whose glow seem to emerge from 

inside the earth evoking images of meadows and caves, walls 

and towers-metaphors of a landscape and a culture that Lugo 

carry within its own memory.

02.01 - MANIPULATION 

The “Auditorio y Centro de Convenciones de Aragón” 

(Auditorium and Convention Centre of Aragon) portrays a 

fractional and varied profile – ascending and descending – in 

dialogue with the different spaces housed in its interior and 

manifesting expressively the presence of natural light and the 

meeting point of the building with the ground. Like a white 

shining cover, a great roof gently envelopes the different 

structures sheltering a large interior space – fluid and 

continuous – which demonstrates the public and institutional 

character of its purpose. 

Geometry, structure and construction are part of this proposal 

for a single combined concept. The necessity for rapid 

execution did not present a problem, rather being the reason 

for the architectural concept itself. Strict geometric modulation, 

the preference for using prefabricated building structures which 

lend themselves to being repeated, the choice of a structural 

solution based on metallic girders with powerful lights and 

finally, voluntary restriction in the range of materials, are all 

arguments for a strategy which allowed us to dominate the 

structural, geometric and construction preconditions which 

impact on the process. 

The interior spaces respond to the same gradation of textures 

and colour. Metal and concrete cladding in vestibules and 

public areas coexist with continuous tiling and glass divisions. 

The main auditorium also contributes to the drive for luminosity 

and clarity with its materials. To the exterior, large glass fronts 

alternate glazed panels and metal lattices integrated in the 

façade with transparent sections for the elevation to the square 

which enhances the perception of the open and public 

character of the building. 

The brilliance and clarity of the image of the building which 

dominates during the day has its counterpoint at night when 

the Convention Centre appears as a landscape of solid light 

emerging from the ground: the metaphor of an intangible 

condition which – perhaps unconsciously – we imagined from 

the beginning for this building

01.01 - MEMORY 

The building is designed as a single piece, hollowed inside to 

form a new public space. This new public space constitutes a 

Snorkel terrace where you can enjoy the views. The platform 

acts as a common access and two auditoriums space and area 

conferences and exhibitions. This configuration allows 

independence of both, allowing the simultaneous use of the 

building as an auditorium and convention center and exhibition. 

Special mention deserves the treatment and material building 

envelope that will be built, not only fundamentally characterize 

their image, but because it is an essential part of the argument 

of the project. What will be perceived externally as a solid 

mass and volume emptied inside, actually constructed from a 

modulated structural framework of reinforced concrete, with an 

enclosure large precast concrete panels. 

As the Roman opus incertum factories, heavily textured and 

pigmented concrete manifest outside a rough and uncertain 

face contrast with the metallic finish and glass boxes 

corresponding to the two auditoriums. 

From a single original piece of sculptor Esther Pizarro five 

rubber molds which in turn are arranged in four basic clusters 

develop. This generates a combinatorial system that allows the 

passage of the uniqueness of a sculpture to the execution of 

an industrialized construction process work. Outside, the 

building will be characterized as the continuity of contemporary 

art in its construction stone material, yet reminiscent of the 

ancient walls of the city’s Roman past due to the concrete 

pieces reproduced the antique roman´s city plan.

03.04 - CONTEXTUALIZATION 

The “Nuevo Museo de Mediana Azahara” (New Medina 

Azahara Museum) springs forth from the reflection made 

between archeological site and landscape. In that way it 

becomes an introverted building not reveling to the outer the 

internal sequence of connected spaces. 

The building appears on the landscape silently as the ruins 

from the old Abd al Rahman III´s city do. 

On the one hand, nostalgia for a remote, undiscovered past 

impregnates the landscape stretching towards the Cordoba 

Hills, while on the other hand, disorderly sprawl of modern 

buildings creeps disturbingly around the area that was once a 

palace-city. 

The first reaction on arrival had to be a definition of the future 

proposal: it should not be built on the landscape. Faced with 

such a broad expanse still awaiting excavations in the old Arab 

city, the objective has to be to work like archaeologists: not to 

construct a new building, but rather, discover it under the 

surface, as if the passage of time had kept it hidden right up to 

the present day. 

The materials respond to the prevailing criteria of the project: 

the walls unearthed in the excavations will be in white face 

concrete using wooden formwork; the roofs resting on them will 

be in thin slabs; the patio will be paved in limestone. The 

concept of this project is implicitly prepared for future growth, 

especially in the museum and workshop areas which, in the 

manner of new excavations, can have new pavilions added on.
