about
The exercise is based on working
individually in three different plots and
changing the site each
journey. Each day had a different
focus: volume, core and envelope.
“How much does a building last? How much
should it last? What would our building be when
time passes by? Architecture is always public and
that implies a responsability that should make us
think in a time horizon in which our buildings would
change and their success would depend on the
resilience it has. Thus arises a method to project
that focuses on those elements that determine its
later adaptations. These are: relationship with the
surroundings; structure and core location; the
envelope and its relationship with the street and
the comfort it provides. The exercice is proposed
in three plots. Before 17th Century in Plaza Mayor
surroundings Austrias´ urbanism; Beetween
1850-1930 in Retiro Park surroundings a plot
part of Castro´s enlargement. Later than 70´s in
Alameda de Osuna neighbourhood a suburb plot.”

about
The exercise is based to propose
a temporary housing layout for
the southeastern quadrant of the
Diocletian’s Palace.
“The assignment is three-fold: to place the
housing stock in a highly articulated historical
heritage, to conceptualize the houses and their
adjacent public space with Disney in mind
and to figure out a sustainable design.
«Show your Disney side» suggests instant
amusement, benign playfulness, innocent
morality, disclosure of subliminal and surrender
to the childish in you. However, studies
show that Disney world reveals a number of
contradictory aspects, some of them quite
opposite to the well-known and so much loved
ideals of the perfect world of hope and joy.
Racial stereotypes, satanic imagery, subliminal
messaging, awkward body-types, historical
inaccuracies – all deeply embedded in the
movies of Disney production. How to make an
architectural agenda out of this inconsistencies?”

“Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was
lying under the table: she opened it, and found in
it a very small cake, on which the words “EAT ME”
were beautifully marked in currants. “Well, I’ll eat it,”
said Alice, “and if it makes me grow larger, I can
reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller,
I can creep under the door: so either way I’ll get
into the garden, and I don’t care which happens!”

“N. tenía una peculiar curiosidad. Se había
hecho fabricar unos escalímetros distintos. Su
aspecto no se distinguía de los corrientes. Pero
su calibración anómala producía disparidades.
No era una regla entre metros y milímetros,
entre pulgadas y pies. Era un escalímetro que
relacionaba milímetros y luz eléctrica, centímetros
con montañas, metros con autobuse [...] Era
más excitante la experiencia de N. Cuando
medía una puerta le parecía una plaza. Cuando
dibujaba un patio le parecía una ventana.
Cuando proyectaba un hotel le salía un pez.”

about
The exercise is based on reflect and
design for the changing conditions of
living in contemporary cities.
Barcelona is changing the housing
law including a new typology in Spain:
Co-housing.
“Cohousing is an intentional community of homes
clustered around shared spaces. Shared spaces
usually feature a common house or space, which
may include kitchen and dining area, laundry,
co-working areas, spaces for children care and
recreational spaces. Cohousing cultivates a
culture of sharing and caring, promoting frequent
interaction and close relationships. Cohousing
neighbourhoods are designed for privacy as
well as community, residents get to choose their
level of engagement thus balancing privacy and
community how they see it according to their
lifestyle. [...] The housing Co-op will be the owner
of the rights of use and will cede to the members of
the co-op the housing rights of use, for permanent
everyday use. The housing rights of use will be
given to the members for seventy-five years.“

about
The exercise is based on discuss
requirements specific to cost-effective
high-rise accommodation such as
optimised central services cores and
economical floor plans for apartments
“Our society is simultaneously in flux, affecting fam-
ily structures, employment opportunities, leisure
and mobility habits and the way we work, share
space, live and communicate, to name but a few
examples; cities are growing faster than any other
kindoflocalityandcanthusreactmosteffectivelyto
these changes. While this growth is fundamentally
positive, the process inevitably throws up consider-
able challenges “on the ground”. Building upwards
is one effective way of increasing urban density,
although it is no secret that constructing high-rise
buildings is very costly. This presents us with a di-
lemma: while high-rise buildings offer an effective
solutiontotheurbandensitychallenge,theeconom-
ic realities associated with their construction seem
to run counter to the goals of creating affordable
living space and cultivating a healthy social mix.“
RESIDENTIAL HIGH-RISE

29. 56 57GMÜR WORKSHOP
Hunziker, Zürich
GMÜR WORKSHOP
“Every high-rise building has a
significant presence in the city-
scape and must thus offer clear
added value for society. This
value may reside in its location
within the city, in public access
to the ground or top floor, or in-
deed in the creation of publicly
accessible open spaces. Care-
ful consideration must also be
given to the question of outside
space for each accommoda-
tion unit because of potentially
extreme wind conditions. [...]
A key prerequisite for a holis-
tically planned and economi-
cally conceived floor plan is a
central services core in public
use. These elements are ac-
cessed via a public space, so
an efficient and compact lay-
out is essential. [...] Outside
space is a great asset to any
accommodation, and a balco-
ny creates a link between out-
doors and the interior of a build-
ing satisfying the residents’
need for fresh air and sun.”

about
Develop a proposal in detail from a
selected project of collective housing
that will be “re-redesigned” by the
team in terms of building envelope,
industrialization techniques, structure
and services .
Etymology of build (v):
Late Old English byldan “construct a house,” verb
formofbold“house,”fromProto-Germanic*buthlam
(source also of Old Saxon bodl, Old Frisian bodel
“building, house”), from PIE *bhu- “to dwell,” from
root *bheue- “to be, exist, grow” (see be). Rare
in Old English; in Middle English it won out over
more common Old English timbran (see timber).
Etymology of construction (n.):
Late 14c., from Old French construction or directly
from Latin constructionem (nominative constructio),
from construct-, past participle stem of construere
“pile up together, accumulate; build, make, erect,”
fromcom-“together”(seecom-)+struere“topileup”
Collective housing is the current typology nearest
to the old meaning of construction or building:
to pile up together / to grow a dwelling…

The workshop will focus on urban
housing conditions. The quality of the
housing must be based on the idea of
the well-being, the variety of spaces
and atmospheres.
“The workshop topic will emphasize on the optimal
conditionsto livein the city, in a publicspace,in the
neighborhood, in collective space, with the close
community, in the individual space. The city should
provide exceptional quality of life by offering a
large range of facilities, proximities, and pleasures,
as well as a large variety of typologies to fit with
different needs, expectations and ways of life.
Dwellingsproducedtodayareneithergenerous,nor
spaciousandarenolongeradaptedtotheevolution
and to the need or the wishes of the contemporary
families. The comfort normative is now much more
often determined by rules and calculations, by the
performance of technology, estimated through a
grid of criteria, by a financial profitability. Housing
has become a product, while it should be first of
all a question for the sensations and quality of life.”

about
It is designed as an experimental
workshop: less plans but lots of dirt. It
starts working with the clay in a more
abstract way to get a feeling for that
material, just to get the creativity in
flow.
“It is often rather sad that all the great researches
and analyses seam to end up in grids and blocks
and same-looking facades, and although for sure
those systems work well, not everybody can really
embrace them with their hearts. It is probably a
lot the question of materiality and the process of
building, that’s why a part of the workshop deals
with earth architecture, but a big part is an intuitive
and emotional search for quality of spaces. It’s
about avoiding the difference in designing for
poor countries or for rich – since inhabitants in
Europe or richer parts of the world have no rights
to consume more resources than those living in
poor countries, just because they can afford it.
So it is about philosophical discussions
around sustainability and housing, a training
of common sense logic, but less analysing.”

about
Subject of this exercise will be the
urban quarter or neighbourhood.
There is hardly a consensus, in
contemporary architectural culture,
about what urban design and
modern housing is; there is certainly
no consensus about what an urban
quarter is.
“The modern city is the addition, sometimes even
the collage of very different urban parts: its quarters
or neighbourhoods. They belong to the city
organism as a whole, but have their own character
and a partial functional and social autonomy. The
quality of the city depends almost exclusively on
the quality of its quarters. Until the middle of the
19thcentury,citieshavegrownthroughtheaddition
of new quarters to the old ones. Economical
and cultural globalization and new, problematic
urban models like the Siedlung or Levittown have
blurred this process and led to amorphous urban
extensions. Today, while suburbia is spreading
around our cities and one estate after the other is
built, we seem to have lost the capability of creating
new urban quarters with an own character. We will
ask ourselves, what an urban quarter is made of.”

The proposals aims to integrate the
fragments through build and natural
strips. The build strips born in the
city and the natural strips born in the
Casa de Campo. The intervention
is focused on the definition of the
northern 20 ha in the plot, taking
advantage of the possible perimeter
contact with the existing residential
areas. The purpose is to create an
starting system that could grow
south in the plot in future stages,
structuring in this way the western
border of Casa de Campo Park
and the surrounding urban fabric.
