4. Solar decathlon europe 2012
Born in 2002 in the USA, SD celebrated his first European edition in 2010. Is a contest of international universities to design and build an energy self-sufficient home
that works only with solar energy, connected to the network, and incorporating technology to allow for maximum energy efficiency. The international competition
is driven by the U.S. Department of Energy, organized by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) commissioned by the Ministerio de Vivienda of Spain,
culminating in 2012 with the construction and operation of the different prototypes that will compete in ten different disciplines.
UPC Technical University of Catalonia has presented the prototype (e)co where I have been working for more than a year.
2012
5. (e)co means equilibrium through cooperation,
it is a project developed and built by students.
It represents a new sustainability and low-cost
model that reaches a real equilibrium between
the environment, the society and the economy.
The 150 m2 dwelling has an outer skin that offers
protection from bad weather and balances
climate needs, operating as a greenhouse in
winter and as a shading structure in summer.
The interior living space is made up by three
wooden independent modules of 15 m2 each
one.
Functional plasticity
(e)co’s dwelling distribution is organized in
free of tag spaces. The house is distributed
through the activities it involves, multiple non-
programmed spaces. The user and the objects
define the space according the needs, the
seasons or the preferences.
Interspaces
Interspaces are a way to enlarge constructed
surface without increasing much its price and
acclimatization cost. It’s a privacy gradient,
a potential relationship space with variable

conditions and variable ways of inhabit it.
As member of sustainability team in (e)co I
am in charge of the use of materials and the
ecological impact of the construction.
Furthermore, during the last months I have been
in charge of the interior design.

we considered the points of maximum activity and we have separated from them to get the
atmosphere and silence required in a reading room without giving up all that the park offers.
Regarding the construction, microclimate and characteristics of natural resources offered by
the site have issued forms, materials and techniques.
The project is conceived as a journey in which you find the necessary services, books and
reading small spaces that give you a sense of shelter while it shows the whole city from a unique
perspective.
With this project we win the local prize.
10. Can Jofresa
The final project of the postgrade Ecohabitar is a rehabilitation of a district
in Terrassa, a town near Barcelona.
By confronting the rehabilitation project of the tower Jofresa VI, we rely on
the idea of
improving the comfort and energy savings for the user.
We define 5 vectors, in which we affect, proposing strategic actions: water,
energy, waste, social space, green space for urban agriculture.
In the case of Energy propose a large solar collector, comprising facade
vacuum tubes, using a high incidence of the sun. The facility is sectorized
and distributes the heat radiating through walls to different rooms.
Taking advantage of the proximity of the park and the benefits it can bring,
we give top priority to this approach and incorporate it into our building
as a green wall that rises and joins the common spaces as vines or urban
gardens, up to the covered pergola which involves creating a patch of
shade under it. This action seeks to create a microclimate inside the building
and make the space more pleasant.
Finally, the social space. The expansion of the building by a metal frame
that hangs from the trusses above allows us to have on each floor a space
for collective uses located in the most privileged area of the building.

My final project is the design of a hotel
and a shopping mall located in the
city of Barcelona near the Diagonal
avenue running through the city.
The project aims to make all the
difficulties of the solar where is situated
as opportunities, thus the game of
ramps to save levels or the rotation of
the building to find the gaps between
the neighboring buildings and get
unbeatable views.
A hotel is a service that consumes more
resources so that the building has tried
to contain the most advanced and
efficient technologies, while the design
is adapted to the bioclimatic criteria,
shading the sun in summer and allowing
this between the interior in winter.
