Ahmedaba Heritage CenterFinal Year Project November 2013
Promoted by the municipal corporation, Ahmedabad Municipal Centre is an Institution
dedicated to the restoration and rehabilitation of the historic heritage buildings of
Ahmedabad. The complex includes not only the Municipal Institution, but also a
30-families re-housing program as well as bath and cooking facilities for the existing
houses. It follows a modular vernacular yet innovative approach in response to its
unique location, Ahmedabad historical city centre.
By the use of a 6x6 modular structure and staggered platforms at the ground level, the
Institutional building provides a continuous space that can be either filled by a single
use or occupied by different programs. Due to mobile light elements the staggered
platforms can be isolated and adapted to different shadows and privacy requirements.

While the ground-level of the Institutional building works as a �exible and continuous space for temporal uses, the
AHC key program organization is based on the traditional Ahmedabad Indian palace “Havelis” . The “Havelis” rooms
can be divided into 3 di�erent types depending on its privacy degree and the amount of sun-light that they receive.
Due to this classi�cation, protected areas, intermediate areas and exposed areas can be found at the AHC building
complex.
The protected areas, placed on the wood cantilever structures, o�er a highly controlled environment with soundproof
isolation and �ligree screens to provide shadow to the inner spaces. The cantilever structures houses the o�ces
permanent uses without interfering on the 6x6 ground level structure. The intermediate areas, facing the street under
the cantilever structures, are protected from light and rain, though exposed to the street noise. This part is occupied
by permanent uses related to public-users, such as o�ce-secretaries or information points. The exposed-areas include
the ground-level �exible area subject to temporal changes, and the always exposed entrance area, a place dedicated
to the dissemination and awareness of the heritage conservation importance.
Like the Indian vernacular Architecture, The building program is organized
depending on the lighting, the function of each space is determined by the
amount of light it receives. The building is divided into, Protected Areas;
they o�er a controlled and quite environment. This part houses the perma-
nent program, such as the o�ces. Intermediate Areas, these areas are
protected from the light and the rain, but are exposed to the street noise.
This part is occupied by permanent uses related to public users. Exposed
Areas, these areas allows us the �exibility required for the diversity of uses.

Construction Details
The supporting structure is designed as an evolution of the same structural concept.
Horizontal elements or volumes are attached to a vertical support leaving the
ground �oor free of pillars. The structure is made of laminated bamboo beams and
pillars assembled though simple joints, allowing a fast and serial construction.
The mobile light structures, whose slabs are also made of panelled bamboo, can be
manually put in motion thanks to a balance and pulley mechanism placed inside the
4-colums composed pillars.
In response to the AHC
changing program, a modular
structure with mobile panels is
designed at the heart of the
building.
By the use of the mobile panels,
users are able to create different
shading conditions according to
the use requirements.
The slope and the joints between the
bamboo �ooring-panels are thought
to drain easily the rain water.

The o�ces need of a greater insulation is solved by the use of a double façade system.
The outer enclosure consists of a porous timber façade to �lter the light and noise,
while the inner bamboo and glass façade protect the inside from the rain.

The building is adapted not only to the material availability of the site, but also to the
Indian weather extreme conditions. The building distribution and façades were
thought to allow passive refrigeration. An ecological water system was introduced to
solve the water scarcity problem; this ecological water system includes a system to
collect the rain water in tanks, so it can be used along the whole year, and a sewage
treatment system, which clean the water through the use of a particular kind of
plant.
The cardboard model not only represents the project structure, it was made to maximize the
possibilities o�ered by the toll to use, the laser cutting machine in this case. The model was
built up without glue, �tting pieces together thanks to little grooves placed at the pieces upper
or bottom parts. Thank to this, a faultless and detailed architecture model was obtained.

How to densify Bimanagar.Indian International WorkshopSpring 2012
Bimanagar or LIC is a housing Project designed by the Indian Architect B.V. Doshi in 1973. The initial development was
designed to fit in a low-dense area placed in the suburbs of the Indian city of Ahmedabad. While the people living
inside the residential area have adapted the houses to their personal needs and created a sense of community, the
suburbs of Ahmedabad have experimented the changes occurred to other Indian cities, its size and density have been
increased. Despite the opposition of their inhabitants, LIC houses have to be adapted to these changes, increasing its
density but including social services and amenities.
The increase of the density can only be achieved by the occupation of the neighborhood shared green spaces, making
an improvement of the squares and paths design. Thanks to the creation of an underground parking, these new
shared spaces can be designed according to a pedestrian scale. (According to the pedestrian necessities). Further-
more, in the next 20 years, in order to reach the desired density, the occupation of the already built areas has to be
increased.

The development to occupy the vacant land is focused on a “cluster” system, based
on the informal slums settlements, which combined on each house unit open and
close spaces, these open spaces organized around small-scale squares can either be
used for communal or working uses, allowing a private control of the public spaces,
and helping to create a communal feeling. The squares with an associated working or
economic use are connected through a pedestrian network, while the domestic
squares work as private accesses to the homes.

The small scale additions designed to intensify the density in the already built-up
areas, are thought as temporary structures. The innovation of these hut-shaped
constructions lies in the adaptation of traditional constructive methods and local
materials to the present business
and families´ space requirements.

Social Space and Market in CasablancaCollege ProjectAutumn 2011
The project is placed in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, within the Mohammadi
lively neighbourhood, an area where an innovative and international Masterplan
promoted by Michael Ecouchard and the team 10 was launched on the 50’s. Over
time, the initially one-storey white houses of the development have been trans-
formed; they have growth in height through unstable constructions. The aim of the
complex is to replace the actual non functional local market, including social shared
spaces, and cultural facilities as the “Instituto Cervantes” promoted by the Spanish
government.
Due to the traditional Moroccan Architecture a massive 3-storey concrete building
delimit the vacant space. In contrast to this massive structure, a high-storey light
structure houses the “Instituto Cervantes”.

These plaster and cardboard model was built to
show the transformation of the housing master-
plan. Initially the one-storey white houses, spread
over the empty suburbs, looked as a sculpture on
the desert. Finally the houses have become a
marginal and unhealthy neighbourhood where the
traces from the original design can slightly be
recognized.

The 3-storey massive structure act as a concrete skeleton which can temporally be
filled by food or cloth stalls, its prefabricated V-shaped structure placed at the
buildings façades provides shadow, and allows passive ventilation. A spiral ramp
placed at the inner perimeter of the building works as a safe exit route, while giving
access to the small-business. For a faster communication, elevators for clients are
placed at the buildings corners, whose galleries are connected through light steel
bridges. To create separate circulations, the goods flows network is placed at the
centre of each gallery.
In opposition to the market low-rise building, the culture programme placed at the
centre of the site grows in height. An enclosed green space is created between both
buildings, which can be colonized by uses related to the “Instituto Cervantes”. The
twelve-storey building whose structure is made of stainless steel has a double steel
mesh façade to provide shadow and privacy to the inner spaces.

Wire Chair R.W.T.H. Scholarship Project Spring 2010
Course made during my German scholarship at the Rheinisch-Westfaelische
Technische Hochschule (RWTH). The course objective was to transform round steel
material into a useable chair. It was about shaping the material, thinking in a functional
design,without forget the imagination.
After 2 weeks working on the chair design, a scale model was made, using wire cables
and galvanized wire weldings, and tested. The course provides an introduction to
techniques of metal processing such as cutting, cold forming, and welding.
Makrobauen R.W.T.H. Scholarship Project
Autumn 2009
Course made during my German scholarship at the Rheinisch-Westfaelische
Technische Hochschule (RWTH). The objective of this course was to build a
constructive form inspired in the nature, to make visible, things that are only visible
using microcope or special cameras.
The object chosen was a natural sponge, whose intricate spatial structure offered great
posibilities. While modeling the sculpture, we learned different techniques to shape
the clay, and differents ways to mix the materials obtaining differents kinds of klay.
