01. Chandigarh Unbuilt, Competition to Complete Le Corbusier’s Capitol (01) (02) This is an international architecture competition promoted by Archasm (http://www.archasm.in/index.html) seeking to complete the Museum of Knowledge of Le Corbusier’s Capitol Project in Chandigarh. In that matter, my architecture proposal for the MOK started with the division of the program into two main buildings. One building, located underground, it is a large basement that includes the R&D functions, the administration offices, auditorium, and the digital library. The second building is the exhibition galleries of the museum . It is divided into 4 elevated galleries, which are connected underground by the basement level. One of the main tasks of the MOK is to ensure the archiving of the existing knowledge. For this reason, I have designated the basement level as the proper location for the R&D activities. This level, known as Knowledge Center, covers the total area of the assigned site . It is naturally ventilated by 6 courtyards that allows the connection with the street level through by the use of ramps and stairs. located on them. These courtyards are fully covered with plants separating the different areas visually and acoustically. One of the main goals of the museum is to display the knowledge produced and stored. The Museum level is located 4 meters above the garden and divided into 4 buildings connected with the street level trough the repetitions of the already existing Le Corbusier Ramp of the Martyrs Memorial which allow the connection of between the Museum with and the garden. The galleries are divided into 4 buildings, allowing flexibility in for the curatorship of the exhibition. Each of the buildings has 2 levels of exhibition, and a terrace for outdoor exhibition, each of them are an connectionted to the R&D basement and has an underground connection with each other.

02. Arne Jacobsen’s Lyngby Swimming Pool Building Reconstruction In 1964 the municipality of Lyngby - Taarbæk (Denmark) commissioned the architect Arne Jacobsen to design a public indoor pool building for the municipality., Tthe council decision was made by inthe August 9, 1963. This first draft proposal was discussed in by the council, producing several changes to the project in the following months. Finally, on May 17, 1971, three months after the death of Arne Jacobsen, the council decides not to build the project for economic reasons. As a final result of this design process, Jacobsen’s office produced a final project and a 3D model of the design, the original plans and the final model are located in the National Art Library of Denmark. Here is where this research begins, as a final thesis for my Master Degree at the Universidad Politectnica de Cataluña in Barcelona Spain. I was looking to rebuild a project that was never built. The publications that gave coverage to the draft for the Lyngby project only shows the blueprint presented by Jacobsen to the City of Lyngby in 1964. It was published for the first time in an article written by the same Jacobsen in the magazine Arkitecktur no. 5 of 1964. I seek through this reconstruction in order to showcase aspects of the project that had not been shown before, placing value on the intentions of the original project. I also researched other references and projects built by Jacobsen to enrich my proposal. As part of the reconstruction of the project, I was looking to recreate the landscaping project based on the information appearing in the plans as well as other references like Jacobsen’s watercolor perspectives shown in the competition for the municipality of Tårnby 1960 and the Municipality of Glostrup 1954. In both cases, the vegetation is used in a very controlled way, with a geometrical pruning, generating volumes that control the limits of urban space that is generated in both projects. The original photographs of the model appearing in various publications over the years mainly show photographs from aerial angles, of the exterior and only one picture from interior of the building, that is why by reconstruct the building in three dimensions, I was able to show the building at a scale it was not shown before. During the process of redrawing of the original plans and three-dimensional modeling, it was possible to appreciate design principles that Jacobsen subsequently used in projects such as the building of indoor pool Fehrman, Germany. But it was also possible to appreciate a style belonging to buildings such as St. Catherine’s College, the National Bank and the SAS Royal Hotel.
