Site: Tomares, Seville (Spain)

Area/Surfice: 19,968 sq meter

Status: Proposal

Perform jobs: Concept design

Description: The goal of the proposal is to propose a change in the typology of low  buildings of Tomares.

The building in height can recover the concept of housing with garden in a tall building. Additionally, the low screen will be maintained for green areas and equipment, reducing the cost of urbanization.

Tall buildings allow to enjoy the views of the environment and the city of Seville, while improving the ventilation conditions with the reduction of cooling energy demand.

The vertical rotation reduces drag force due to wind  around 25%, that cheapens the structure and foundations.

Perform jobs: Concept Design, Struture behavior

Description:  The project answers the problem of the current big cities. The proposal avoids the zoning and the displacements that saturate the infrastructures daily. 

The project is the second part of the study of a new type of a high-rise building previously shown.

The proposal is a set of tall buildings that accommodate all the uses of a city, from housing and offices, to commercial areas, leisure and green spaces.

From the structural point of view, the comparison with the isolated tall building of the same height evidences the Demonstrates the improvement by reducing the cost of the structure.

The sets of tall buildings are joined by platforms that stiffen the structure. The final behavior is not as an isolated tower, so a frame.

The platforms with the height of five levels (21.5meters) can accommodate all type of uses, such as sport, exhibition areas, restaurants, etc and the roofs become green areas. The surface each of the four roof is 5,000 square meters (20,000 sq). Link engineering

Description: The proposal places the constructions in plot perimeter to achieve an interior free space with a services building.

 We keep the existing brewery silo tower as the most interesting building in this area with 30 meter height. Close the silo, the main building 13 stores, speaks with it. The narrow space between them looks like a crack.

 The two first floors shape a plinth with static polygonal geometry clad by stone slice. The upper floors are a dynamic volume enveloped by a wall curtain with colour glasses that flies over the end of plinth as a continuous element.

 The construction is opened in the corners, to connect the interior and exterior spaces. In this places the stores numbers increases to six flying over void until twenty five meters. These voids create “the doors “ that close the green area with exterior keeping visual connection.

Description: We began the project after the Master Plan made by the client. The buildings, installation shape and position area were defined.

The projects consisted on doing the architectural and construction project, urbanization and coordination the supplies from several European countries.

Our main intervention was using the external cladding constructions as only one element in all intervention.

A colour transition between the Heineken green to Cruzcampo red (dark green, light green, white, yellow orange and red). These colours are very special in Seville, because they are the colours of the two football teams in the city, Sevilla and Betis. The colour had to be the same at the corner of close buildings.

The buildings shape are very different. To join them, all they have a white plinth that transforms in vertical on the higher building facade.

These all get a continuous element almost one kilometre long that is the facade to the motorway.

For the construction the colour position was changed, losing part of the objective. I prefer not to talk about it.

This project was carried out working for AYESA company.

Description: Central Train Station in San Fernando, Cádiz. It is in high speed railway between Seville and Cádiz.

Owing to the little plot between motorway and current buildings it was necessary to make it over the railroad.

The access is through a pedestrian bridge,

The unifying element is the pedestrian bridge cover that continues by lateral station and becomes platform cover. It is around 350meters long. The ripple shape makes a reference to the sea waves and windy weather in the area.  

All the concrete elements (column, access stairs, station slab, bridge structural platform,... was designed with organic shapes, curves, that were not kept in the construction.

This project was carried out working for AYESA company as main architect.

Description:  The program is to create three exposition rooms that can be used together, an administrative area and concert hall for two hundred people.

The plot is closed to the fairground. The project takes part of it as a public establishment.

The plot is very slope. The proposal has to order it all.

The most interesting project element is the roof. It has organic shape as the surrounding mountain covered by olives field. We use the arc shape to create steel structural bent that are combined with slope columns. The result is vast, unencumbered exhibition spaces. It achieves an optimal structural behaviour. The roof surface is divided into several bands with glassed area between them allowing natural light and ventilation. The rooms are separated by mobile walls that permit to have a only space with the roof as protagonist.

The roof rises in entry creating a reception area to the front fairgrounds. It allows to get the possibility of using it.

The inside rooms are completed by outside space that are adapted to slope creating a continuous exposition area, one of them can be used as stage with the stall seat adapting the natural slope.

Site: Central Station of Burgos (Spain)

Client:Government of Spain

Surface: 10,164sq meter 

Perform jobs:

• Preliminary design
• Structure and construction system

Description:  The Government of Spain is making the most important high-speed train net in Europe.

It needs to build new stations in the most important cities.

The plot of this station is in outskirts of the city.

A condition was that it have to be built for a short time.

The proposal is a large free central space. The offices, tickets offices, and commercial and restaurant room are located in laterals of the building.

The structure takes part of the interior design. The structure is by repetition of a frame of white concrete, that has double symmetry, to reduce the construction cost and time. The structural strategy eliminates the need for supporting columns across the interior span of 50 meters. It allows to achive an unencumbered reception space.  

The interior is lit with daylight from the central clerestories and lateral skylights which enhance the structure support with the shades.

Description:  The developer needed four naves of 23 x 100 meters each one of them. The total dimension is 92x100 meters.

The proposal was to create an industrial building with a smart structure and daylighting.

All naves have two gantry cranes with capacity of 25 metric tons. The span is 22,5 meters. The rails have to be continuum the entire length of the building.

The structure is design with Circular Hollow Section (CHS). The strongest profine for compression load.

The roof is borne by post tensioned trusses of 0,60 meter of joist depth.

It allows to reduce the steel less than half of common structures.  

In the clerestorys of the longitudinal laterals get daylighting and enhancing the ceiling lightweight that look to be flying. They are protected of sun by louvers structure over roof.
