MANUAL
Final work developed for the Master of Advan-
ce Studies in Collective Housing in 2020.
This manual is the result of a compilation of
my personal work during the whole master’s
study in collaborartion with different classma-
tes, all quaoted respectively on each project.
The edition and narrative of the book are the
outcomes of a personal reflection of this pe-
riod.
Some of the original drawings were redrawn
and adapted to show a homogenous narrative.

The architectural world is a very complex system of typologies, approaches,
and ideas. Among this system, I have always felt identified with the idea of
collective memory.
The collective memory is the result of studies of precedents and historical
architectural referents. I think that is necessary for the development of the
architecture to keep improving the collective ideas and adapting them to a
contemporary context and environment. Nothing is created from the none.
During this exploration, I have been particularly attracted to the study of hou-
sing projects, as Le Corbusier once said in L´ Esprit Nouveau (Towards an
architecture) the architect has to focus on improving the living conditions of
the people, therefore housing.
As I result of my last studies, reflections and motivations I did this book or
compilation of the knowledge absorb from the different professionals and
professors who were involved during the master’s lectures and workshops.
I bring this catalog as a way of showing their ideas and methodologies deve-
loped on practical exercises by us. The intention is to bring some examples
of approaches and concepts to proceed with the design of collective housing.
With this manifesto, I wanted to do my personal apport to the collective me-
mory and allow architects and readers to keep improving these ideas and ad-
ding more information to this small part of a huge and complex system that
we all architects find so passionate.
Special acknowledgments to the MCH administrative team, to my colleagues
and classmates, and to my family to allow this enrichens and wonderful expe-
rience despite the complicated situation of the pandemic which will mark our
human history.

This section seeks to address the idea of concepts that
allow an approach to housing. Some of the concepts
seek an initial exploration directly linked to housing with
the idea of exploring new possibilities that allow an
approach beyond the traditional one, since it is the
ultra-saturated conventional model that has not allowed
us to progress with new initiatives in the ﬁeld of the
housing.
In this way, various concepts are explored, some more
orthodox than others but that seek to awaken a new
interest in the possibilities that can be covered to
approach a topic as complicated as housing due to its
deeply rooted and daily relationship with us.
The results are varied, some with a utopian tendency,
however, they constitute a theoretical basis, whose
characteristics could lead to projects once they are
contextualized and materialize in architectural parties.

The collective atmosphere.
In order to define the collectiveness and relation
between the users, we look for a way to translate it into
a diagram, the outcome was a continuous floor plan
were the circulations get expanded when it meets the
particular spaces of each user.
Sliding the collective space.
In order to translate the floor plan into a tridimensional
space, the idea was to start carving a model and shaping
possible collective spaces trying to recreate the diagram
atmospheres with a create a vertical continuity.
The first step was to image an uncommon user, in order
to shape an specific situation and space with a variable
of needs which are not the usual of the average of
housing users.
To imagine new requirements on housing.

The process was driven by a concept which was needing an architectural answer, in order to find
it, model fabrication was the best way to explored the different circumstances along inside the
building. However, the most important process was to translate it into the section, where the
remaining mass or negative was transformed into a series of dorms with similar modulation. on
the other hand, the voids were the exploration of the collectiveness of a co-housing situation,
where more spontaneous atmospheres start to take place.

more extra rooms to pay for sporadic use. No more
problems of space when guests or family are coming.
No more problems when organizing a big dinner or
a party at home.

Workshop leeded by: Jacob Van Rijs, Ignacio Borrego
Work Team: Mariana Sandoval, María J. Rodriguez de Vera,
Steven Jacovic, Audrey Aumara
Aﬅer understanding the concept, the idea was to convert
it into a business approach, by using the famous idea of
tinder, in our case the plan was to decide the arrange-
ment and division of the shared space between cohabi-
tants. We wanted to use the idea of the original app for
joining together people but in this case matching them
by their interests, hobbies, and affinities, which would
facilitate the relations between the cohabitants by
making it easier for them to find people to share the
collective space.

The idea of the temporary renting space is done here by plug-ins with diﬀerent uses that can be
added to a simple an basic unit, this addition could be done by shorts or long periods of time
depending on the necessities at moment or circumstance.
The system
to achieve this will be prefab modules than can be will be added into a ﬁxed structure, with a
bolted system in order to been easily attached and dittached for reusing it.

The Thick Plan.
To reach the demanding circumstance, the solution was
to develop an L shape, with this situation, we are able to
create and inter void or patio to bring light into de interior
and also to create a space for the circulation placement
and maintaining a minimum width of three meters into
the façade allowing more units to arrange longitudinally.

The Tight Plan.

To reach the limits of space between façade without
affecting privacy.
In order to explore the limits of thinness, the idea was to
take advantage of a duplex disposition, placing a
corridor for every 3 floors and arranging it on top of the
units, by this way the access is the shallowest part while
the complementary floor becomes wider. The disposition
on a section is like a Tetris with T modules stacked.

The Irregular Contours.
To become fully efficient, the main operation was to
create a fissure in the middle which allow us to create a
permeable urban sensation and get a ground floor which
is not interrupting the pedestrian flow. On the other hand,
using the whole perimeter with minimal units for
co-housing and placing the collective activities facing
the interior public fissure..

The Geometrized Plan.
The first steps were to find a triangular grid suitable for
housing and the dimensions of the domestic spaces. The
result was a diamond pattern with a major diagonal of
3.2 meters by a minor diagonal of 2.4m with this module
was to define the shapes of the apartments. In order to
avoid the close angles of the triangle corners, this space
is used by an exterior balcony. At the interior of the
shape, the idea was to place a collective plaza which
distributes to the access of the dwellings, passing
through a transitional patio space, which belongs to each
unit.

The Petrified Plan..
TTo solve the project the main concern was to maintain
intact the existing building, but also to break the idea of
the petrified situation by adding flexibility. The result is
pieces of furniture with all the services included, each
piece is placed in the middle of the space but without
following the alignments of the existing building, the
piece of furniture forms a cross on the floor plans which
divides the multiple-use spaces.

As the original ideas of the open plan, in this exploration,
the purpose is based into reach maximum spatial
flexibility; just defining ducts for the pipes and installa-
tions and establish some stripes for the serving spaces.
The rest should be defined by the user. On the interior,
the main idea is to use movable partitions and walls in
order to allow the user to create a variety of spatial
conditions depending on their needs.

VALIDITY” (EBERLE, D. PAG:118. 9X9).
2.2 Structure
Un-programatic.
The idea is to generate a structure composed mainly on
cores and ducts. Avoiding short spans and inconvenient
columns. The spans between 6-9 meters allows a
diversity of functions and a uninterrupted space. On
ground ﬂoor the spans became wider in order to have a
clear permeability.
The result is generic structure which will allow a variety
diﬀerent programmatic uses and functions along its long
lifetime.

2.3 The envelope
Work team: Steven Jacovic.
The envelope as semper did could be compared with textiles. In this case an element of protec-
tion, however it also reﬂects a desire, driven by the architectural space, the context, the climate
circumstances and the trends of the social era at that moment.
Along the structure life time this element would be changed unless a couple of time, that’s why
it should be designed to facilitate the future dismantled and replacement of materials.

The idea in these medium-scale explorations is to
present the panorama of the current city from a respon-
sible and sustainable point of view. Through two
projects, solutions are being sought for infrastructures
that have been devalued over the years, but whose value
remains latent in the memory of the city.
The first case through densifying the residual spaces of
the city, in this case, the roof of a subway station, and in
the second case through using an existing iconic building
and giving it a new image by transforming its program
and use. . In both cases, the idea of housing as a pillar of
the growth of the city plays a fundamental role.

John Cage composed Fontana Mix1 in 1958, consisting
of the superposition and combination of 10 sheets of
paper and 12 transparencies creating A SOUND LAND-
SCAPE with their interpretation. A composition indeter-
minate of its performance.
The main concept of the exploration is consisting in the
insertion of a previously developed prototype on top of
the Fontana metro station, in the Gracia neighborhood of
Barcelona, for the consequent development of a
residential hybrid project, a superposition of housing
landscapes.
The site is part of the ATRI (Inclusive Resettlement
Tactical Accommodation) program of
the Barcelona City Council which consists of locating
plots or buildings that have not exhausted their permit-
ted buildable area. (Extracted from the Workshop
Syllabus).

The interior volume of the house is the result of stacking
prefabricated boxes; three boxes, three dimensions,
three ways of living. We are based on previously
developed prototypes, which are based on 3 reference
projects that, through a 90º rotation of the distribution at
each level, allow us to take advantage of the lower decks
as a space for collective appropriation. The boxes are
connected in all directions, sometimes by stairs on the
facade, sometimes by a platform or even a bridge; all
within the volume, naturally ventilated and illuminated.

In this second part, the projects go beyond the architec-
tural element and respond to the context, now the
answer has to be an urban level, a manifestation, at this
scale architecture must be understood as the result of
the necessities of the city, since it will have an important
impact on it. The hierarchy becomes the mass and its
occupation in the urban fabric, but not the program or the
architectural idea.

The result is a hybrid housing project, the master plan of the housing project is the answer that
oﬀers the most favorable solution to the city, and its balance. In this way, the house inside
becomes the result of the required form. The typologies taken to the extreme seek to be delegat-
ed on the one hand to distance themselves as much as possible from the other blocks and on the
other side to be deep to continue the urban alignment. Finally, the tower is nothing more than the
result of maximizing the idea of slimness.

The New Campamento District is located southeast of the
city of Madrid, and constitutes the most important piece
to complete this area of the city, whit almost 200 Ha.
The district has to be a fine-grained, mixed and lively
place, at the same time it has the potential for a globally
exemplary sustainable project that takes limited
resources into account.
Close to the New Campamento District, a large green
area of around 1,700 hectares called Casa de Campo, are
expected to be fully integrated in the city, which invite for
leisure and sports use.
The project takes as its starting point three circumstanc-
es in this area of the city: the presence of a large exit
highway (A5); the idea periphery and entrance to the city;
the contiguous presence of a large park and natural
reservoir (Casa de Campo).
Based on these particular circumstances, the concept
was a development that would allow the green context of
the environment to continue and branch out. To achieve
this, the first thing that was done was to determine
where the clumps of trees are and try to determine a
pattern that would allow them to connect.
The result is a series of irregularly shaped fingers that
cross the A5 motorway, introducing the park to the
consolidated city. On the other hand, in the center, there
is a large linear park whose topography will muffle the
noise from the highway

The Extremadura highway (A5) is the backbone of the neighborhoods that extend to the south-
west of Madrid, in the district of Latina: Batán, Puerta del Ángel, Aluche, Campamento, Cuatro
Vientos. They have all grown around this main road. Looking back we can establish a chronology
of its transformation. Much of this territory belonged to the municipalities of Carabanchel Alto and
Bajo, until its deﬁnitive annexation to the city of Madrid in 1948. It was a place of pasture and
agricultural use that was urbanizing at the rate that marked the growth of the city. And also the
infrastructures.
Natural roads gradually gave way to streets, railways, and highways. At the other end remains
the natural border of Casa de Campo.
Further away from the city, the barracks proliferated, arising around a powder keg in the
mid-19th century. The military settlements gave their name to the Campamento neighborhood.

The Super Block
Type A
The blocks or building plots are adapted to the perimeter
of the parks and seek to replicate the concept of super-
blocks to reduce the use of wheeled vehicles, prioritizing
public transport, bicycles, and pedestrian circulation.
The types of buildings seek to avoid closed spaces that
break continuity. The scale of the master plan avoids
massive buildings that generate problems of segregation
and decontextualization of the volumetric perception.
It also seeks to promote the social mix by mixing a
percentage of social protection housing with private
development.
Finally, in the interiors of the superblocks, a characteri-
zation with particular uses that respond to the equip-
ment and immediate facilities is intended.

To go beyond.
In this second part, the projects go beyond the architec-
tural element and respond to the context, now the
answer has to be an urban level, a manifestation, at this
scale architecture must be understood as the result of
the necessities of the city, since it will have an important
impact on it. The hierarchy becomes the mass and its
occupation in the urban fabric, but not the program or the
architectural idea.

72
The case study explores the design opportunities which
the field of thermodynamics and ecology is opening to
architecture, and specifically to the field of collective
housing. From a practical and project-oriented stand
point, the focus is in connecting thermodynamics and
ecology to architecture with the objective of finding
potential design strategies which bridge the void
between quantitative and qualitative approaches.
The first part explores the territorial dimension of
architecture, learning the
connections between territorial manipulation and
climate modification. The second part will
start working on the connections between the human
body and an elemental architectural
room. The third part will explore the architectural
connections between this room and outdoor
climate. Aﬅer these ideas have been assimilated, the
conclusion will continue with a collective
housing design project to test how these ideas can be
implemented.

Agricultural Oasis.
The highlight of the area is its agricultural capacity in the
middle of the desert, despite the very low water precipi-
tation of the area, the inhabitants have developed an a
vernacular system to collect the water from the local
dunes and from the river during the rainy seasons by
storing into an underground system of canals which
avoid the evaporation of it, and allows to the bottom part
of the valley to have the possibility of growing agricultur-
al crops.

75
The Vernacular Architecture.
Understanding the thermal mat.
Before starting to design is important to understand the
local techniques. By analyzing the Ksar, and the mat
building typology of it, we understand that the main goal
of it is to create shadowed spaces in which a series of
tunnels which carries the cold air combined with the
internal patios of the dwelling creates a continuous
crosswind ﬂow to refresh the spaces..

The proposed unit arises from the thermodynamical
analysis of the typology of the Ksar. In this case, the
streets of the Ksar function as wind tunnels that enter
the houses and are expelled through the inner courtyard
of each unit. Aﬅer having understood this process we
found it interesting to think of a street where the air can
circulate and generate fresh spaces. To achieve this, it
was necessary to provide a source of heat that induces
the air to circulate.
In this way, we design a narrow labyrinthine that culmi-
nates in a hot patio. Through ought this circulation,
niches are generated that allow different activities to
happen. Water and plants are added to cool the air that
enters.
The final proposal takes on the characteristics of the unit
but generating a more complex framework by crossing
different paths. We disposed of hot patios of different
dimensions and height to which different paths arrive.
Along these routes, the niches appear some more
private and others shared. The proposal aims to be a
utopian oasis in the desert in which to be thermally
comfortable and to generate an atmosphere of
relaxation, stay, and meeting points.

The idea of this case study is to reach the limits of the
concept of renovation. In this particular case the
challenge is to relocate a whole building into an opposite
circumstance, not only speaking climatologically but also
on the construction techniques and local technologies.
The result has to reach the same impact as the original
building by keeping the main idea of the architectural
design and the urban concepts involved.

The building was re-thought, focusing on three main
goals. The first one was the structure, which its main
idea was to clear the ground floor in order to place the
upper floors on top of an existing building. Second, the
construction techniques which was desired to be
industrialized and prefabricated in order to save time and
costs. The third one the facade which was necessary to
be re-elaborated in order to respond properly to the new
climate conditions..

The principal focus of the project is on controlling the
characteristics of tropical humid weather like the one on
the island. To reach that the building has to maximize the
passive weather control strategies like cross ventilation.
In order to produce this airﬂow, the core was displaced
from the center to convert this space into a big ventila-
tion courtyard and locating the main structural cores on
the lateral facades.
One main core composed of reinforced
concrete from which a branch of load
baring walls is acting as cantilevered
truss in order to receives the loads of
the slabs.
Two reinforced concrete cores from which
is placed a big platform of transfer
trusses, and also from where the cantile-
vered prefab modules are attached

86
The idea is to design a system of industrialization for the building process. In order
to achieve it, the main strategy is the prefabrication of modules. Because of the
heavy weight of the reinforced concrete the more suitable are the steel ones.
We design here a system of pieces and joints to make the faster as possible the
ensemble of the structure and then the adding of the ﬁnishes. The idea was to
reduce the time of work and to bring more sustainable materials. Which in future

When something changes never would be again the same. We
have finally solved the environmental problem, but it has been
more expensive than we thought.
Nowadays we have achieved what we wanted. Sustainable cities,
the equilibrium between consumption and production. You would
say that we finally achieve happiness, although is hard to forget
the past.
Our air quality is perfect, the spread of the cities has stopped, the
car has been changed for public transportation. The increasing
emigration of cities from rural areas has shiﬅed. Our food is
better, the agricultural has become more organic, fertilizing
products have been taken out of the market, they no longer exist.
Our ecological footprint has dramatically been reduced. However,
we are not happy, some people are trying to hide their sadness by
justifying their actions. Others just want to forget what happened
at any cost, It is common to hear on the street people saying: The
end justifies the means.
“I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but
World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” – Albert
Einstein, in an interview with Alfred Werner, Liberal Judaism 16
(April-May 1949).
Back days, we were oﬅen thinking about the end, we were living
in a survivalist mode, the tension between countries was daily life
bread, and the boom of the nuclear war was always a latent
danger. Our biggest enemy was human nature. By that time the
people were always saying: Those who forget their own history
are condemned to repeat it. However, history is not always
repeated in the same way.
Since the 20th century, some books started to appear, warning us
into what was to come. Some of them were:
The limits to growth (1972), warning us that the exponential
growth of our economies and population were not long term
sustainable.
The Collapse of Complex Societies (1990) Joseph Tainter, was
warning us about our lineal model capitalism, based on consum-
erism and programed obsolescence, promoting the acquisition of
an eternal number of goods and services, driving society into a
collapse.
Finally, the day comes, our destiny was there, we were falling
towards it, however, we were trying to put it off as much it possi-
ble. The first signal arrived, we reach a negative number in the
energy returned ratio, the energy required for taking an oil barrel
was bigger than the profitable energy produce by that oil barrel.
However, the economy could not stop, the growth was needed,
but the renewables energy resources were not enough. This was
the point when we reach our darkest moments. We moved back to
old energy resources, we started the overexploitation of our coal
mines.

Meanwhile, the carbon was replacing the oil, but something
strange was happening, the production was not enough the global
demand, the local papers used to say to us: global reserves were
not enough for the global demand. On the other hand, renewable
energies were not exploited as fast as they should have been. The
catastrophe was inevitable. The problems of the intensive coal
exploitation started to increase, an increase of cancer patients,
heavy metal poisoning. But the worst was to come, the lack of
food. By these days, for each joule of food produced we needed to
consume between 5 and 15 joules of energy, this situation led us
to a drastic reduction in the production. the prices of food started
to increase, of course, big companies took advantage of this
situation. A lot of people started to die. We were facing our end.
Since the oil started to be scarce, the cities started to change.
Agriculture was the main field needing innovations, mostly pesti-
cides and fertilizers were oil-based, so the model was no longer
sustainable, this led to more biological agriculture, nevertheless
sacrificing its efficiency. This cause-effect phenomenon also
increased the need for more people on the farmland, more jobs
were produced and the migration to the cities was reduced.
On the other hand, the spread city model or garden city was no
longer feasible, most cars were still dependent on gasoline and
electric cars were incrementing its prices because of the growing
demand. This situation was liquidating the long distances and
low-density cities made people rethink about densifying.
Because of the reduction of the population, we reach an artificial
equilibrium, Although the real problem was not the population but
the economical model.
Renewable energies are increasing at a record rate, now we have
more efficient hydroelectric dams, we are almost achieving atomic
fusion, but our consumerist is also increasing at an uncontrollable
rate as our wellness has improved. Nobody wants to change this
linear economy model so our solution has become the space
exploration and mining, we are extracting the energy from other
planets as a solution. Everything has returned to its normality,
nothing has changed.
