The initial idea started with the construction of a seat that can be folded in a single plane.
In order to optimize the material and the production efficiency, I decided to generate the seat
through cuts in the board base. This allows three folds of alternating directions to conform the
seat, getting a hundred percent advantage of the material.
When the seat is not being used, it can be stored by hanging it on the wall in a decorative
manner, much like a picture.
The opening and closing of the furniture is performed by a simple maneuver, exerting pressure on
its edges. This quirky opening action adds an extra design aesthetic to the seat.

house as a museum: The house without owner

The project consisted of making a house with 6x6 meters of horizontal
surface area by 12 meters of height, in a undefined location.
Immediately thoughts began to come to me; conceptual ideas of
how I could distribute the interior, all of which had been inspired by the
same pattern in my childhood. When I used to visited my grandfather, I
loved climbing the trees that he had in his orchard, to take to the fruits
and eat them seated in the possible part of the tree.
When I used to go hiking in the mountains, I always accelerated past
the group and rose to the most complicated site of the rocks, in search
of a good vantage point, to sites where only I could climb and sit there
awaiting them to reach me.
highest
That was what I tried to obtain with this project; a house in which, entering the ground floor,
you are rising step by step, discovering new levels of elevated sites to sit, rest and enjoy.
The elevation of the house brings a dynamical aspect. A part of the volume arrangement is
made with displacement of planes and small volumes, as it is the case of the corbel, which is a
plane that moves, leaving the “vertical limit” that forms the opened facade of the house.
The conceptual idea was as if the stairs had slowely propagated over time from there orginal
location vertically up, to create a downstairs doorway into the building.

As we elevate from level to level, we find different ways to
take. We can keep walking by a footbridge that leaves the
facade of the house, forming a projection; or we can go
downstairs by the floating stairs aforementioned, stairs that
lead to nowhere. In this part of the explanation of the project
I am going to take a breather to explain the reasoning
behind the stairs.
Recalling a book which I worked in my first year of university,
titled House collage: a test on the architecture of the house, I
remain with the titled chapter “the valid ambiguity”. This
chapter taught how to consider the spaces like the corridors,
or in this case the stairs differing from the habitual purpose. It
would be more useful to consider them as a common
structure that allow other uses in addition to the one of transit.
I consider the stairs as a zone destined to something more
than elevational reasons. I removed the stereotype of the
stairs being a traffic zone, because they do not embark in
another level of the house, and do not take you anywhere.
The user will be able to descend utilizing each of the steps as
a place to sit and observe the landscape.
The highest and intimate part of the house is destined to be
the bedroom; a room where the bed is located within the
floor cavity, and by lifting the floorspace, the bed can be
revealed. Designing the room in such a manner allows the
floor to be “closed”, while the room is not being used to sleep,
granting extra space with spectacular views from the top.
This space however can only be accessed by more difficult
means of climbing. Once the angles of the views have been
studied, it becomes apparent that the building can be
appreciated for all its glory unseen from lower levels.

Museum of Contemporany Art in Helsinky, Steven Holl.
This project consisted of developing a museum dedicated to the Guadalquivir river (Seville) that would be built on the river bank, which is currently scattered with local vegetation.
During the development of the project, a key aspect of importance was to consider the surroundings, as much of the local woodland makes up the characteristics of that part of Seville.
Therefore the building is “surrounded” by the nature, which can be appreciated from every angle of the perimeter thanks to glass walls. An artificial water surface “raises from the river” interlacing itself with the building.
From the main volume of the building extrudes viewing galleries, that give the best visuals of the river allowing it to be appreciated for all its worth.

Sport Centre in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) Degree Final Project
18 Javier Castro Alba jcapuerto@gmail.com 0754 4127741 (m)
The election of the subject of the Degree Final Project is a reflection and maturation ,
something to which we are going to dedicate a considerable time to him of the degree before
finish it, is an opportunity to develop something with which to enjoy in the process, and
something that, if possible, helps to grow and to advance of correct form to my city.
The objective of the intervention is the advantage of the left margin from the Guadalete river to
its pass by El Puerto de Santa Maria, so that spaces of interest are created near the historical city
centre and give back to this area the life that always has had.
process

The nature and free spaces surround to the
building, always with the presence of the
water, as the main and more important
element of the project.
The northeast oriented facade, opened to the
outer green zone of the parcel, has a horizontals
wooden system as a pergola that filters the direct
solar light.
One put special well-taken care in the control of the
routes when I was designing the inside spaces,
playing with the intuition of the user and its
experience with the building, and always
differentiating the zones between dirty feet and
clean feet.

A series of volumes is arising one from the other, as a
matrioska or Russian doll, to gather to the user in the stroll
and to take it, crossing the different spaces, until the main
volume that lodges the swimming pool.
A smaller height on one of the borders of the
swimming pool creates a warm rest area for the
swimmer. Lodging in its interior the necessary
machinery for the air conditioning of the building.
The design of the roof responds to a logical
structural system that it contains the necessary
facilities for the swimming pool and obtains an
entrance of diffuse light in it.

When I began to design the roof, I wanted to
integrate in it all the necessary functions. With
that objective, I started to study Miguel
Fisac´s works. In his life, Miguel Fisac tried to
design a precast concrete element which
works as an structural element, covering the
desired surface, filtering the light making it
diffuse and canalising the rainwater.
Keeping in mind that it is very difficult to use
concrete over long spans and, in addition,
with the original idea of developing a light
structure which hosts sporting facilities, it lead
me to a design made wholey of wood.
Initially I incorporated a solid-web beam,
with 2,5 metres-skylights, forming a drawer
under the beams in alternate hollows to insert
the air ducts in it. By doing this I integrated the
air filtration in side the roof in a hiden manner.
25Javier Castro Alba jcapuerto@gmail.com 0754 4127741 (m)
This design provides an excess of direct light on
the swimming pool surface, so I tried to light it up
using a skylight with a closed top and opened
vertical sides. This causes the light to be reflected
down to the pool as indirect lighting, to avoid the
glaze of direct sunlight. In addition, I tried to
optimize the integration of the wood, as using
solid-web beam, each 2,5 metres with suports
each 5 metres was excessive. To achieve this I
decided to use a roof truss system, keeping the air
duct drawer.
Finally, I decided to spin the top of the skylight to
add solar panels to the roof which are needed to
provide the sport centre with hot water. By doing
this, the solar panels do not appear as some
elements simply based on the roof. The only
problem is that the solar panels now are not
facing the south, but with the current orientation
it fits more solar panels than facing the south,
which, evidently solves the issue of lost energy
that occurs in a south facing configuration.
