Urban-Centric Lighting Task Group: Tactical Lighting as an innovation strategyAlberto Barberá
The present article describes a perspective on tactical urban lighting and its power as a source for disruption and innovation in the field of urban lighting. It is the result of an applied research that is currently being carried out by a task group formed by technicians, planners, managers and designers from different private companies and public institutions with responsibility and expertise in public lighting and urban planning. The group objective is to explore innovative methods and state of the art technology implementations as a practical application of the evidence-based knowledge in the field of artificial lighting for the sake of health and well-being. The definition of health is extended, as the concept of well-being includes the urban space as an ecosystem. There is also a fundamental source of awareness that comes from social sciences about how the built environment design promotes well-being, or else constitutes a hazard for health. After a definition phase for the methodologies and the technology that would need to be developed, the task group is focused on developing new products and planning a prototype installation on a real playground. A tactical, lightweight intervention in an urban green area in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona is designed to implement, test, and communicate these innovative methods. Once the experiment is validated, a collaboration with public authorities will allow to introduce innovative perspectives in street lighting. Having received support from local’s regional government innovation programmes, through a competitiveness strengthening initiative, the project is partly funded by the European Commission.

3. Inter - Actuando:Connecting people and programmatic functions through a new mobility
system and hybrid programme boxes
The main characteristic of the Chamberi neighbourhood is the fluctuation of several types of users due to the huge concentration of different cultural urban equipment.
These users have an effect on the urban space where they are moving since they produce accumulations of masses at peak hours, especially if the timetables overlap.
Nevertheless, the way in which the functions are organized in the studied area make the relation between the users and the public space close to impossible.
Taking into account the analysis of the existing urban situations, I took on the following intervention strategies:
1. Separation at several levels according to the type of transportation
2. From a functional point of view, the project will be divided into two distinctive parts. The first usage will be as the exchange of relations between several agents (actors, schools,
shop owners, etc.), and the second function will be a mode of transportation exchange (automobiles, bikes, busses, the tube and the pedestrian).
3. In regards to the previous point, there are going to be different morphologies for the two aspects. The first one is going to be a bridge and a junction that will be used as equipment and
educative cultural and it will have some other hybrid programmes. The second one is going to be two ramps for the pedestrians and for the bicycles, respectively. These will connect the pre-existent
urban space with the other means of transportation.
4. The timetables for the new programs were to be coordinated taking into account the ones of the pre-existing users.
My participating city intends to transform the already existing public space web and their relation with the public equipment buildings by inserting functional plug-ins as an urban stage that could
accommodate a huge amount of functions according to the necessities of the area of study. I put in place an urban learning strategy that provides an easier relation between the users by having a shared
knowledge. The isolated cells of the schools, public space, theatres, museums, private foundations, and dwellings from the neighbourhood transforms into hybrid cells.
The proosal is going to take into account the existing urban planning and encountered urban
situations, such as:

demolished in order to adapt the existing space
to the new plug-in programmes.
Firstly, the existing foundations
and the vertical structure are improved and,
afterwards, we operate in the existing buildings.

Linear Urban Park in Puente de Vallecas
Group work with Laura Vicioso Gil and Celia Rodriguez González
Present situation: Puente de Vallecas is perceived as a collection of neighbourhoods that are structured according to the distinct boarders: the M-30 and A-3 highways, the railway and the Cerro del Tio Pio
and Albufera central axe. Each neighbourhood presents a differentiated problem, but mainly the most important ones are presented at the borders, where the absence of urban equipment and green spaces, the badly planned
urban fabric and the inexistence of connections produce the isolation of these.

SPORTIVE URBAN EQUIPMENT AND ORGANIZATIONURBAN ANALYSIS OF THE AREA AND ORDINANCES
Current ordinances: The Planning strategies and ordinances for the Puente de Vallecas dates back from 2009 and it divides the areas by theuse giving priority to the residential dwellings and implementing
some public equipment in empty sites. Some of them were already built while some of them are still pending. Nevertheless, sporting equipment isn’t enough. The problem at the border is not solved and the environmental im-
pact of the vehicular traffic is something that the ordinance does not even comply.
Urban project: The proposal was designed as a protection screen against the M30 noise pollution at the
margin of the area. By introducing public space programme and sports urban equipment, we created an attraction focal point
for all Vallecas. In order to eliminate the isolation problem, we generated elevated pedestrian crosses above the M-30, so that
the city is connected and makes easier the use of the new area.
9. Senses collage. Full Moon Party. Synes-Tech Nightclub
My project began from the analysis of the four elements present in the cala: the cliff, the sea, the woods and the beach. In addition, I based my research on the effects that psychedelic drugs have on people:
synaesthesia, empathy, alteration state of the identity and the alteration of time. Each element from the island was associated to one of the effects of psychedelic drugs. Thirdly, I also looked at the type of music that the original
Full Moon Party was show casting.
Therefore, each element from the island would have its own nightclub related to the drugs’ effects and one of the music genres that was listened in the original Full Moon Party. Although, the effects won’t be
caused by the drugs but by the environment created with all four natural elements.

SENSORIAL MATRIX
The table summarises the way the spaces are created:
1. Each natural element from the area has a musical genre
associated, and this corresponds to a nightclub
2. The five senses intersect with the natural elements
3. Choosing one from each side, in the intersection a space
will form out of two materials in order to confuse the user and re-create synaesthesia.

The model was created on the panel board
for the final presentation.
It was interactive and the half-spheres
could be taken away and the person could either
see, feel, smell, touch or hear the inside of the
doms. This corresponded to the elements that
were used to create the ambient inside the full
moon party spaces.
11. Puu: construction game for kids
Group work with: Katarzyna Cebula y Chenta Tsai
The final objective of the was to bring clindren between 3 to 6 years old closer to the architecture world and learn about building stable structures through play. The many possibilities and outcomes of the final
product develop children’s imagination and cvvvcreativity while also improving their logical thinking by having a hands-on experience.

My contribution consisted in drawing the presentation designs of the Casa Cuna project for
Enrique Krahe’s Architectural Office.
I took part in the analysis of the Delft area which consisted of the axe from the Westlandseweg crossing through the
train station taking of the direction of the viaduct. In addition, I participated in the making of the concept drawings of the urban project
and in the preparation of a TedTalk’s visuals.

12. Cervantes’ Light
Light, art and space metamorphosis workshop__Tutor: Marian Álvaro
During a five-day workshop, we transform the Quinta de Cervantes Garden in Alcalá de Henares by using light as a medium to build an interactive installation that produced the metamorphosis of the spaces
composing the garden.
During the opening event, visitors were able to experience the space and have a stroll while the tunnel’s plastic covering moved along the wind. Therefore, it inflated and deflated due to its action. The coloured
lights, which formed graduated shading, affected the individual perceptions while walking through it.

Sacred. Secret.
Landscape workshop__Brito.Rodriguez Studio, Lisbon
The workshop addressed the design of a place of seclusion, intimacy, reflection and silence
for an individual in the green outdoor area surrounding Igreja da Memória in Lisbon. My project tried to convey
the perpendicular relation between the wall that contained the terrain and separated the pedestal where the
church was situated from the street. I represented this relation
between the two architectonic elements through three different tunnels that had diverse spatial and visual
situations while stil respecting the existing landscape and topography.

LABORATÓRIO DE INTERVENÇÃO EM ARQUITECTURA INSITU_Coordinated by Filipa Ramalhete;
Pedro Campos Costa; Alexandra Paio.
Segundo Torrão is a little town that is situated at the south of Tagus River. A huge amount of the inha-
bitants of the Segundo Torrão live in sub-humane conditions without water, electricity or sewage system. This
area is also affected by high rates of poverty and unemployment. By
taking part in this workshop, we intended to solve a few of the problems that hit the area and make a better
living place for the inhabitants. Based on civic involvement, the workshop was
divided in three parts:
_the analysis and conception of the possible solutions for the problematic area
in collaboration with the residents,
_the designing and building of all the necessary pieces in the construction lab,
_the assembly of all the designed pieces on site
Our group focused on one of the squares of the neighbourhood where we designed a meeting place
that included a communal act and a landscape intervention in order to better the urban living conditionsand
experience. Secondly, we created mobile vegetable gardens. These gave the inhabitants the opportunity to be
self-sufficient. They could grow their own food and store tools and material inside the little “houses”. Further-
more, they also could move it around the neighbourhood in order for the entire population to be able to use it.

13. Ema’s garden
Commissionedv preliminary design
The dwelling is divided in two apartments with two generation of members from the same family living together. The commission consisted in organizing two parking spots, a workshop, a little deck and joining
the pre-existent water sources into an artificial lake.

L-Shaped entertainment space in the backside garden
Commissionedv preliminary design
The commissioned preliminary design was to create and organise a multifunctional space for special gatherings that can also function as an entertainment space where the preteenager son of the family could
have his friends over. It had to keep the existent storage space and a spot for parking but include new programmes like a barbecue and a campfire place, a huge sitting area, vegetation and a parking space for a trailer.
This space was solved by having two types of furniture. There was a fixed feature of benches and vegetation pots. The second types were movable and foldable features like the chaise-lounges and the
covered-up fire space. This last one had as an example the Japanese camp and barbecue place.
