SELECTED WORKS

6. Master Thesis ITM
year 2015
place Madrid,Spain.
The project is located in a transition zone,the idea is to revitalize and redu-
ce the border between the residential area and green university area with
its surrounding nature. Not only crossing is interrupted, but also the views.
The plot is a unique place with exceptional views of the west of Madrid.
By creating places for social interaction and as a. “relief” of urban life, society
is given the opportunity to participate in the maintenance and care of nature.
We create a platform and the public building is semi-buried, thus di-
minishing its visual impact on the surroundings. The university buil-
ding is a balcony and the residential tower emerges from the ground,
and is pierced by double-height spaces concatenated in section.

14. IPAR
year 2012-13
place Madrid,Spain.
The Ipar is a high performance Politechnic institute, an academic building
opened 24/7, where people live and study. This educational concept tries to
create a new talented community. The building has to be able to grow and
change to respond to future necessities. Light and modular materials and
structure make it possible.

20. Iberian Space
year 2012
place Madrid,Spain.
This project tries to put together both american and iberian nations.
Diferent pavilions and connections to the existent public transport, make
possible to design a place where every nation is present and connected to
the others.
Every part of the project has an specific use, and has been design for it, as a
computer motherbase is done.
All the parts of the buildings are done with prefabricated concrete pieces to
be able to accelerate the construction and reduce the cost.

24. Light Topography
year 2008
place El Escorial, Madrid,Spain.
Once understood the topographic conditions and the importance of landsca-
pe it was decided to make an alternative way to go all over the forest during
the night, far away from turists and in conection with the nature. The walk
becomes much more interesting than the destination.
The minimal alteration of the place was the most important thing to solve. As
a result, reflective belts were placed around the trees, marking the existant to-
pography and only visible with a lantern light for an ephemeral moment. This
minimal design is almost invisible and totally reversible.

30. La Movida Nómada
year 2014
place Medialab Prado, Madrid,Spain.
author Jesus Agrega + mambo team
The urban and spatial design of the Movida is an itinerant and nomadic
space. In consequence, the structure must be easy to move and build (2
people).
The architectural and spatial structure must be flexible and variable enough
as to be adapted to the project’s evolution and to very different and poten-
tially irregular areas and topography.
The costs of design, construction, deployment and removal of the “Movida”
must be scanty and optimized.
It proposes exemplary solutions in terms of energy, environmental, structu-
ral, constructive efficiency and of production.
The urban and architectural design is artistic, spectacular and extraordinary,
to provoke both urban and social unlikely situation.

36. #RegalosSuburbanos II
year 2015
place Madrid,Spain.
Artistic Competition organized by LAGaleriaDeMagdalena, a cultural platform
that takes place in the public space , especially in buildings under construc-
tion, generating social, urban and cultural positive impact
The aim of this temporary exhibition is to offer gifts to the underground users
as a way of make art accesible to everyone.
My intervention was 100 pictures taken and edited with a Smartphone. Mixing
Madrid to other cities to create an unreal , non-existent and therefore ima-
ginary Madrid. A journey that connects Madrid to other cities, merging and
creating something new. Sometimes the references are more obvious than
others, but Madrid is always there.

38. The School Grows Up
year april 2015
place Madrid,Spain.
During the past months the ESD university has been undertaken the
construction of two buildings which will provide the additional space
the school needs. These works are coordinated by Santiago Cirugeda
, architect creator of Recetasurbanas study, specialized in the develo-
pment of participatory strategies involving users in making decisions
that affect the design process. I participated only in the foundation
phase, but working with our hands was really teaching.

This project was done to satisfy the needs for access by the disabled and aged people.
The first thing to do was to get the existent lift down to the ground level.
Then we completely refurbished the entrance area and the staircase area by re plas-
tering and re tiling the walls, installation of a new insulating ceiling, resistant and non
slip flooring, lighting and electricity.
We also put a vinyl on the main wall to complete the look and make the entrance
atractive. Extensive additions were made to the electrics such as hidden LED strip
lighting under the mailboxes and marking the stair steps.
We also refurbished the staircase area including new non slip flooring, re plastering
and painting the walls, lighting and electricity.
To finish we changed the entrance door and part of the façade to give the building
hole new look.

This bar is built to stand the test of time, combining quality, style and functionality.
We gave the existing venue a smart uplift (such as counter) to save money for the new
things to do.
We completely refurbished the bar area including new backfitting, re plastering re
tiling the walls, installation of a new insulating ceiling, resistant and non slip flooring,
covering the counter with a metal sheet, heating and cooling, plumbing, lighting and
electrical systems.
We also supplied the bar area with new tables, a bespoke leather sofa made by a local
woodworker, chairs and stools to complete the look. Extensive additions were made to
the electrics such as hidden LED strip lighting under the sofa, shelves and the counter.
We also made two toilets, as it is required by local regulations.The refurbishment
work included new toilets, sinks, new non slip flooring, re tiling, re decoration, plum-
bing, lighting and electricity.
To finish we painted the entrance wood windows and door in white to give the bara
hole new look to attract customers.

This project consisted in carrying out extensive refurbishment work throughout in-
cluding kitchen, corridor, bedrooms, living room, office space and transforming one
bathroom into two. Adding a second bethroom greatly adds to the value of the flat.
Bathrooms and kitchens are often the main selling points of houses and flats.
The lacquered white kitchen is partially done by bespoke elements. The units are
push open and soft close with pull out drawers inside the units. There is also a hiden
extractor installed above the kitchen.
New floors and false ceiling were fitted. We chose grey wood parquet for the living
places, and 3 different kinds of tiles in the bathrooms and the kitchen.
We choose to make two different bathrooms, the first one inspired by a Finnish sau-
na, and the second one in classic black and white.
We installed a gas boiler and changed the electrical radiators for new water ones. A
cheaper and more efficient alternative.
The flat was painted throughout and extensive changes were made to the electricity
and plumbing.

Technical Inspection of Buildings (ITE). It is a legal preventive maintenance of a num-
ber of elements in a building since 2011 in Spanish cities.
It controls aspects as foundation and structure, facades and walls, watertight and air-
tight, sealing and roofs, facilities and other elements. Everything that affects safety,
health or public maintenance of the building and the people who inhabit it.
In an ITE we find different building pathologies, we study the defects and performance
in order to develop appropriate remedial and management solutions.
The majority of problems are associated with lack of maintenance, chronic neglect
and building defects leading to water ingress, condensation and dampness.
Pathologies:
1_Penetrating damp/rising damp in basement
walls and under the roof.
2_Cracks in cantilevered canopies, balconies
and window ledges. Some steel bars already
corroded.
3_ some reinforcing steel bars not properly
covered by concrete, bad execution work.
4_Inadequate sealing in drainpipe connec-
tions.
Risks and solution:
1_water penetrating, corrosion could occur, it
also affects habitability.
2_water penetrating, corrosion will occur in the
main steel bars as they are exposed to wea-
thering. Urgent, pieces could fall down to the
street.
3_ could cause Concrete deterioration by corro-
sion needs reparation by covering.
4_ seal and change some connections,could pe-
netrate in building, affect habitability.

This project complies with current legislation UNE 76-502-90 HD 1000, y DIN 4420. It
is a supported scaffold with platforms supported by rigid, load bearing members such
as poles, legs, frames and outriggers.
We seek to ensure a safe scaffold construction by fully qualified and trained scaffol-
ding operatives. Informing employers and workers, in compliance with correct safety
standards, can save lives and prevent accidents.
Inspections:
_ After installation or assembly in any position
_ After exceptional circumstances which are liable to jeopardise the safety of work
equipment
_ At intervals not exceeding 7 days
_ Check on before use
Persons working on scaffolds and pedestrians are exposed to hazards that have to be
prevented. Some of those hazards are falling from elevation, struck by falling tools or
debris, scaffold collapse or bad planking giving way and electrocution among others.
Some accidents can be prevented by wearing a wide range of personal protection
such as apropriate workwear, safety helmet, non slip footwear, working gloves and
security belts.
