site location and analysisThe project developed as the final
thesis consisted on two different parts. On the one hand a new
urban plan for La Verneda , an industrial neighborhood in
Barcelona, was designed.This new area, which is 66.236 m2 size, had
to be provided with different type of dwellings, high quality
public spaces which contribute to improve the neighbors life
conditions due to the lack of public parks, and new public
facilities, a new library, a new market place and a old people
house were also planned.On the other hand, I chosed to develop the
project for a new market place. In our Mediterranian culture these
places have become new centers, gathering places and the new
engines generating activity within our cities. This new public
building was meant to be completely associated to the public space
and its hosting many different sort of stores and activities which
will be very helpfull to improve the citizens lifestyles.

TOPOGRAPHY
c2Surfing the wall
THE HOLYFIELD getting the scale
The center is a place of divinity, it is where everything grows
and becomes part of the earth.We establish 9 degrees to get the
scale of our location

DEGREES AND AXIS relation with the divine
We dont take the different Holy Field degrees literally as a
grid but us a way to get the scale of our project area. These
different degrees help us to establish a relation between our plot
scale and the different elements that are important within the
city.
FIXING OUR TARGET the Summer Palace
We take the Summer Palace as the center of our new radial grid,
degree 3 (holy field)These radius will help us to establish a
visual relation with it, the most important landmark in our area.It
shouldnt be understood as a rigid grid, but as a previ-ous step in
order to control the traces and the direction-ality of our
proposal
From Barcelonas proposal we take its functional structure and
the preservation of those parts that are considered the most
important and representative of this area. The water cannal and the
well-preservated town are the main elements to keep with.

THE 4 elements
LAND&WATER searching for the harmony
Mixing land and water is the main purpose of our proposal. By
doing this we try to create a permanent relation between our new
public space and the Summer Palace.
SCHEME IDEA a visual game
The tramway becomes a very important element in our design.
Along this new axis are being sewn the different stripes or areas
that com-pose our project. We think that getting on the tram should
not be understood just like a way of transport but as a way to
recognise the landscape, a kind of visual game
In our final proposal we pick different elements from both
masterplans. We consider that creating new wetlands as preservation
areas, the concern about taking the old wall as an edge, the
ring-paths that connect the different spaces and the preservation
of the existing hill are those elements that we must conservate
from Tsinghuas design.
We think that the distance between the two tram stops that have
been planned is not taking into account the human scale.In our
opinion, this is a place that should belong to people. Thats why we
think that and intermediate tram stop should be built, in order to
reduce the walking distances within the park.This new stop is
located in one of the main crosses of our designed axis.The other
two stops we suggest are related to the bus stop and the northern
edge of our area
At the moment we were designing the new topography we were
absolutely sure that this should be the main element of our
proposal. According to that, our design should be understood by
taking a look to the traces of our new ranges of hills. We
established first the position of the highest tops and after that
we created slopes with different proportions and angles depending
on what the function of each of the mountain sides was. We used 1:2
for non accesible slopes, 1:3 for those sides that are conduting
the water to the wetlands and 1:4 for smooth slopes.

context and location winter conditions natural heating systemThe
plot is located in Mallorca, more especifically close to Sller in a
little town called Banyalbufar, facing the sea and at the northern
side of Serra de Tramuntana, the highest mountain in the island.The
Marjades become an important element within the area. These
artifitial stairs built in order to settle the existing harvests
will be completely integrated in our proposal.
In the begining the house was not meant to be used during the
winter so, in order to improve its thermical conditions we decided
to enclose some of the patios by building up a new glass perimeter.
This new spaces might be receiving the sun heat during the day and
transmitting the warm air to the inside rooms and the living areas
during the night through the different existing doors and
windows.
In order to adapting the house to the rough winter conditions we
suggest the following interventions:
1-Reduce the extreme ventilation by including a new glass
encloser underneath the pergola.2-Creating new spaces enclosed by
glass which will help to increase the solar gain during the day and
spread the head to the inner rooms during the night.3-Including
solar pannels on the pergola
In another hand, the pergola is covered by plants in order to
protect and control the solar gain during the summer. Some windows
will be included on the glass layer as well to provide enough
ventilation during the hot summer months.

TRAIN PLAN
The goal of the project was designing a new urban plan for the
city of Barcelona by introduc-ing the same grid and road structure
used in Manhattans city plan.Taking into account the same existing
elements that Ildefons Cerd considered and kept with to design the
Eixamples plan in 1959, we paid special attention on mantaining and
fitting our new proposal with the existing old town and the
surrounding villages. Considering the existing topography was also
helpful to define the new borders of our new city plan.
Our design establishes two main axis within the city structure.
Both Meridiana and Parallel avenues are currently the main
entrances to the city by crossing through the two river valleys, so
we consider that our project should consider these two main
directions.On the one hand, this strategy allows our plan to be
extended in the future to the surrounding areas and on the other
hand its very well orientated in order to provide every single
block by solar lighting.Once we developed the new grid, the aim of
the project was also developing a new infra-structre strategy to
improve the transport system.

The aim of the project is designing a new public space along the
beach of Piscinas, a little town close to Cagliari. The existing
hotel becomes one of the main elements of our project and the
proposal pretends to provide this existing building with new light
structures that will helps to increase the tourist activity by
generating some new services, a cable car station which connects to
Montevechio, a surfing school and some shades that people will be
able to use as resting areas.
