Workshop 02
Andrea Deplazes, Esperanza Capaña
Living / Working
in Collaboration with Krishna Yadav
The workshop encouraged participants to think outside traditional
architectural norms and explore innovative use of space-saving
techniques, multi-functional furniture, and modular designs. This
was aimed at optimizing the available square footage and enhancing
the overall functionality of the split unit.
Participants were encouraged to adopt an integrated design thinking
approach, considering how the living and working spaces could
seamlessly coexist within the same unit. This involved exploring
creative solutions to ensure comfort, functionality, and aesthetic
appeal in both aspects of the space.

Elli Mosayebi, Álvaro M. Fidalgo
Domestic Fragments
in Collaboration with Andrés Melo & William Castro
A reflection on the problems and challenges of current housing
production raises three central questions:
Innovation in housing?
Housing for whom?
Housing and climate?
Besides the specific conception of dwelling, a proposition of a
particular architectural element can serve as a generative impulse
for the design; an element that stands in a definite relationship to
the formulated intention.
Verbs of Collective Activities:
Taking care of someone

Zürich, Kreis 5
In middle of the city there will be an area free for living and working
space. Now the area is used as a departure center from the SBB,
it’s occupied from workshop-buildings. Until 2025 the SBB plans
to build dwellings and working space for small companies. At the
moment there take place a workshop method with the neighbors,
whereby the SBB trys to find out what could be the best solution for
the plot. In opposite to the Europaalle there should be living space
for cooperatives.

Spatial qualities:
1. “Gradual transition of privacy through walls and
vegetation, designed to provide a seamless visual
shift for the user, transitioning from a public to a
private space.”
2. “Porosity is achieved through light wells and
semi-open spaces, aiming to disrupt the mass and
facilitate natural light and ventilation.”
3. “Connecting with nature; by providing
transparency and lightness.”

Specialty 01
Javier García-Germán
Climate, Metabolism & Architecture
in Collaboration with Paloma Romero, Fredy Quispe & Lucas Navarro
CLIMATIC
TYPOLOGIES
A proposal in Barcelona.
The module explored the design opportunities which the field of
thermodynamics and ecology have opened to architecture, and specifically
to the field of collective housing. The module focuses on climatic questions
and on the metabolic dimension of architecture, with the objective of
finding design strategies which bridge the void between quantitative and
qualitative approaches.
As a result, special attention will be given to questions which in rare
occasions are addressed in mainstream sustainability courses. The
workshop will immerse in the quotidian implications of sustainability,
connecting everyday life to architecture, which introduces to the specialty
the ethnological dimension of architecture. This question opens the
experiential realm, introducing the human body in its physiological and
psychological dimensions to architecture. Under this perspective, the
history of architecture —which offers a rich variety of climatic and metabolic
references— will be a powerful design tool.

Comfort zone
Psychrometric chart
A psychrometric chart is a useful tool to evaluate and design
climate systems that provide a comfortable and healthy envi-
ronment in an enclosed space, based on the temperature and
humidity conditions of a given place.
Barcelona has 1,423 hours of comfort, which is only 16% of the
year. Implementing design strategies can increase comfort
time.
Sun protection in summer to reduce high temperatures and high solar radiation.
Natural ventilation in summer to counteract high apparent temperatures caused by
high relative humidity.
Mass cooling of materials to acclimate spaces through thermal inertia.
Internal gains as thermal energy produced by occupation density and type of activity
within spaces.
Passive solar heating in winter by maximizing the amount of solar radiation that
enters the building and is absorbed by its thermal mass.
Passive design strategies
Using these passive design strategies efficiently can increase the comfort time during the
year up to about 80%.

- The urban development of the city of Cali is considered to have been “accelerated”, but without control,
thereby implying rapid and disorderly growth. The boom of recent years has been marked by the construction
of shopping centers, opening the way for modern structures, which today have led to new styles.
The most important and significant works in recent years, are associated with the growth of road infrastructure,
wheremodernizationopensthewaywiththeinaugurationoftheMassTransportationSystem,theconstruction
of pedestrian bridges and steps elevated. In this sense, the urban development works were focused on the
urban sector, mainly in terms of roads and the commercial sector; leaving aside the population growth and
with it the housing deficit.

existing limits: scales and main features
The site is soundrounded by different types of urban shapes. It has been detected
2 types of situations that were considered as “inner limits” (nighbourhoods that are
somehow not well connected with others setting them as urban island or clusters
with their own grid, scale, typologies, etc.) and external borders.
It has been also detected an accumulation of buildings in use, abandoned and in
ruins belonging to different sectors of the military forces. Some of them present an
advanced degree of deterioration and others are still in use.
green and public spaces
Most of the area to be intervened is vacant and disused, so a portion has been
recolonized by native vegetation.
In this area we find two streams: the Meaques and the Valchico. At its confluence,
a wetland is formed that connects with some tributaries that derive from Casa de
Campo. This natural urban edge is located within a metropolitan network of forests
and parks that make up a ring of ecosystems and green spaces, so it is of utmost
importance to maintain and reinforce its presence by conserving its flora, fauna and
biodiversity.
connectivity, mobility and transport
This site is crossed by one of the main access roads to the city of Madrid. The A5
is a 6-lane highway that hosts not only rapid transit, but also domestic traffic. The
coexistence of the two different types of traffic flow is not well resolved.
The lack of measures to accommodate the different types of vehicles, traffic and
speeds is risky.
At the beginning and end of the portion determined for this urban development are
Av. de los Poblados (to the northeast) and Av. de la Aviación (to the southwest).
Although the area has great potential to be satisfactorily supplied in terms of
mobility, the presence of the A5 is consolidated as a very marked urban barrier that
turns out to be treated in order to integrate the northwest front with the southeast.
In the surrounding area, there are several metro, metro ligero and cercanías renfe
lines that ensure good urban connectivity with the rest of the city (to the center and
to the outskirts).

integration with the existing neighbourhoods
The proposal must take into account pre-existing conditions so as not to generate
urban disruptions. To achieve this, two strategies have been taken into account:
the incorporation of military layouts and buildings in a historical view of the district
and the implementation of the different scales of the city of Madrid on the site.

new greenery and public spaces system
proposal staging
A system of public and green spaces is proposed that intersperse different scales
and locations. Some of these spaces are structured according to the pre-existence
of the buildings to be refunctionalized and enhanced.
This spaces are subordinated to the main roads that are structured as drainage
through a natural slope from the southeast towards the streams. At each end of
each of these green streets, relevant urban infrastructure is positioned.
A5 intervention / highspeed vs. domestic use
To bury the A5 (high-speed section) and leave parallel streets with more domestic
traffic at the current level it is done to achieve better vehicular flow. In order to avoid
delays and setbacks for the city's inhabitants, it is proposed to build a new buried
A5 and reuse the existing one as a street for minor circulation, pedestrians and
bicycles, which will also reduce demolition and construction costs.
The most significant urban continuities are the only roads that cross the A5 buried
transversally through green bridges.

Use different densities and typologies to allow the social
interaction and mix uses
Integrate the main grid with some of the neighbourhood axes
(continuities) and refunction the existing safe buildings to keep the
place identity and minimize the impact of the proposal towards its
limits and integrate them to the urban fabric through green areas. Build a new buried A5 and build 2 new domestic streets by the sides.
Keep the existing A5 operational while building the intervention.
Connect both sides through green-bridges and services
Add different type of plants/trees and consider biodiversity in the new
public spaces heading to low maintenance proposal and build a resilient
riverside limit.
Structure a comb tipology that considers the natural drainage system,
the topography and water runoff to the creeks combining different scales
and features of public spaces and greenery
