London Zoo Visitors CentreFall 2008London (UK)Madrid School of Architecture - Projects 8

The Visitors Centre scheme is located to the East side of the London Zoo in Regents Park, that has an important North-South axis crossing the whole site and it sets up the East limit of the zoo. The main idea is to “break” this axis disturbing the hard straight line, creating a new facade with a new access to the zoo, and new internal outdoor spaces.The complex is compound of four buildings. The private spaces are placed in the North one, with a research area and offices. The sheltered access is produced in the second volume and it has public amenities as café, shop and temporary exhibitions. Visitors are able to visit it before reaching the main square in the zoo. The next building has the permanent exhibitions and conference hall, which can have an external use, and the library and some thematic spaces are in the south limit and embracing the zoo pavilions, opened to the park.The one-storey structure is simple. A series of steel modulated porticoes along throughout the building allow to alternate glass and zinc sheet on a random way. This process lets the pedestrians of the external path to see some small parts of the exhibitions or animals inside the zoo as a lure of people.

Exhibition and conventions centreFall 2008Madrid School of Architecture - Restoration projects

Puertollano had one of the most important coal mine industries in the last century, and many industrial buildings still stay in this place. This project transforms the old coal-fired power station in Puertollano into an exhibition centre for the nature and mining landscape. Two volumes are inserted inside the prism of the station, as structural independent “boxes”, leaving a dramatic free top-lit space where the exhibition halls are floating.The underground access is produced through a small new building that has lifts and staircase. The library is in the first three levels of the new “box” and is directly connected to the research area, so as to the investigators are able to be next to the information. Temporary exhibitions are placed on the library in three storeys, with its slightly turned galleries on the great entrance hall, and it is joined to the permanent exhibitions in the small coal-transformation building besides the main one. The conference and convention hall is in the West side of the volume and it has its access through the main space. The visit finishes in the café and restaurant in the last level, which passes through the tiles roof as a viewpoint to the mines.This project is conceived as a new modern architecture inside a brick, former building, so the new structure is compound of steel and glass. The galleries are hung from the truss of the deck with steel wires. The joined coal-transformation building is covered in its perimeter with a translucent glass, as an opposite language of the station (new architecture over the ancient one). The café volume on the top of this building has the same translucent glass, establishing a dialog among them.

Visitors apartmentsOppenheim (Germany)

Spring 2008Seville School of Architecture - Projects 4

Oppenheim is an important wine-producing village in the south of the city of Mainz, in Germany. Vineyards are so important to the landscape of this place. Besides, there are plenty of green and open spaces in this village, so the project incorporates this prime situation. Two important roads limit the site: the main axis North-South and the former ring road of the city. Downtown is in the North, so the project pretends to look for the cathedral views. The main public building is placed in the West side and it has all the common and supporting spaces, and the apartments are extended in the rest of the site, solving the irregular shape of the plot.Access is produced across a former leper hospital small pavilion, which enters directly to the public building. Uses for visitors and for the people of the village take place in this volume: a great living room, refectory, assembly hall, café, exhibition hall, etc. Apartments are communicated by a gallery through the gardens, and all of them are one-storey and terraced houses. They pretend to be innovator, so there are five different typologies to book all kind of people and groups, there are with or without living room apartments, and two, three, four or six people ones.In the South of the complex there is a parking at the ground level, as a “wall” closing the houses to the noisy former ring road. It has a planted green roof on it. This is used as an urban space, viewpoint and café terrace. Visitors that are staying at this place, also have their own private courtyard to enjoy the nature pleasure of this site.

The Nursery School is placed in Alcalá del Río, a small village to the North of Seville, close to Guadalquivir River. The edge of this small town is undefined and without solution towards the river, so one of the main objectives of the project of the school is to organise this limit and revitalize the urban space where it is located.The school has an irregular one-storey plan, and consists of two rows of three open classrooms that are opened towards a court each one, a volume of common spaces on the North side, as a refectory and an assembly hall, and a private zone behind the entrance. All the spaces are connected by a circulation spine. Every classroom has its own bathroom and services, and all of them are sourrounded with views of the river.The main courtyard is placed in the South, and it allows people from outside to see the children playing. The famous dam of Alcalá can be seeing from this place. The small courts of each group of classes are used to breathe and let the children to be near the nature, due to an entirely glazed wall.

Public library Book´s gardenSeville (Spain)

Fall 2005Seville School of Architecture - Projects 2

The public library is placed in Castilleja de la Cuesta, a village at the edge of Seville. This project looks for the way of creating an opened space around a garden, fusing exterior and interior spaces. A free access appears from the avenue in the South, and a direct connection from Plaza de la Albina in the North, by means of two glazed containers in the square and an underground tunnel. The result is an easily and free connected place. The main objective is to create a culture meeting garden for the people from Alcalá.Most of the activities take place at the library building. Its geometry creates a “mark” in the ground and steps its way forming an irregular silhouette. A tour through different levels is guided by continuous books “walls”, and a lattice will let the light comes in. The building will sometimes fragment to introduce other uses as researcher´s spaces with opened to the garden light courtyards. In the perimeter of the garden, another building, with shape of opened cloister, is used for reading inside and outside and exhibition hall, with a café inside a glass box.The main building has a planted roof landscaped to provide additional green area to the site. The most important concept is nature, so the area will be planted with a regular tree plot according to the existing vegetation.
