Competition - Minimal Shelter Space - December 10, 2021

 

MINIMAL SHELTER SPACE

The functions that are considered are those of sleeping and occasionally reading, studying,

meditating ... Possible relationships between people will be carried out in the two-meter-wide

spaces for access to the modules and in the rest of the areas of the sports center enabled to their

efects.

The private cubic space of 2 x 2 x 2 m for individual use is solved with four vertical partitions of the

same dimensions, joined together by means of a screw mechanism to facilitate assembly and

disassembly, one of which differs by having a sliding door, the tatami floor rests directly on the

pavement of the sports hall and is covered with fabric for the purpose of visual privacy from the

height of the stands.

Each one of the enclosing partitions is made up of a frame made up of three vertical slats and two

horizontal slats of 35 x 75 mm wood glued together to half wood and two 5 mm thick laminated

wood panels glued to the slats. The entrance screen is basically the same as the other three with

the difference that it has two 35 x 35 mm wooden slats that act as a guide for the sliding door that

is formed with a 35 x 35 mm wooden slat frame that supports a 5mm laminated wood panel.

The floor is formed with two 35 mm thick tatami mats and the ceiling with a fabric.

Each of the modules disassembled and packed for delivery has dimensions of 1,965 x 2,000 x 210

mm.

Two arrangements of the modules are considered on the surface of the 20 x 32 m sports court.

One attaching the modules along the longest side which allows us to accommodate 84 modules,

the other along its shorter side that allows us to accommodate 80 modules. The perimeter are

zones of circulation of accesses to the different services.

The estimated cost to manufacture each module is 30,000 JPY.

Competition - Infill Challenge Design 2.0 - City of Kelowna - November 29, 2021

 

BOSQUEJO HISTORICO-URBANISTICO DE LA CIUDAD DE PAMPLONA

 

Competition - Desall & Shenzhen Lead Opto - Solar Outdoor Light Collection 2020

PYRAMID

Practical considerations have guided the steps in the design of the lamp: compact element to be placed on different supports and with a simple design.

The lamp frame is a 330 x 220 mm rectangular base pyramid with 296.2 mm edges.

In it the different components of it are coupled: solar panel (270x170 mm), smart PIR sensor, lamp LED 10 w, sensor for switch with remote control, center controler and battery.

The proposal is completed with the two types of columns, for the garden light and the column light.

Main materials: ABS and PC

Competition - Desall & Tomasella - Night Collection Design - 2020

 BUTTERFLY

Practical considerations have guided the steps in the design of the bed: clean comfortably under the bed, sit comfortably on top and be able to do it without great effort, avoid the danger of bevelled corners ...

This leads us to a rounded shape and a continuity of shapes. The headboard has been emphasized with a marquetry panel and that is reproduced on the chest of drawers and bedside tables as well as the profile of the bed frame.

The chest of drawers and side tables are derived from the shape of the bed. Height of the legs, front perimeter frame, marquetry of the drawers and the shape of the handles.

The material used will only be wood with standardized profiles.

Competition - OUTSIDER - Rammed Earth House 2021

 

Explanatory Note

The proposal is based on several decisions that determine: the functional disposition of the uses within the maximum surface established in the bases, the disposition of the structural elements, the overall shape of the building and its orientation, and the location on the ground; as well as the requirement to use rammed earth as a structural element.

The functional arrangement is organized along a circulatory axis with an east-west orientation. From the entrance it articulates the living area and the dining area, both facing south, the cooking area with openings to the north, and ends in the sleeping area facing south and the bathroom with opening to the north.

Practically in the center of the space we place a “Russian stove” to complement the caloric inputs supplied by the solar collectors and the direct gains through the openings facing south.

The building has a rectangular floor plan of 7.50 x 4.00 meters which includes the required functional uses and the perimeter wall of rammed earth. The gabled roof with an inclination of 45º, similar to the latitude corresponding to Dobrava, allows us to integrate the solar panels that produce hot water into the south-facing roof.

The structural wall is on the inside of the building, isolated from the outside in order to take advantage of the conditions of the rammed earth to accumulate the heat from the hot water that circulates through the conduits integrated into the ground, the direct solar contributions and the complementary contributions of the Russian stove.

On a continuous perimeter footing of lightly reinforced concrete we raise the 24 cm thick perimeter wall of rammed earth stabilized with binder where we will support the wooden trusses, all this is surrounded by the envelope formed by wood-insulating-wood sandwich panels and finished in chilla wood. The exterior carpentry will be made of wood and double or triple glazing.

We chose the location of the building, within the area indicated on the bases, in the south end free of trees in order to take advantage of the natural sunlight.

Urban and Architectural conceptual Design for Golootočkih žrtava Square in Podgorica

 Golootočkih žrtava Square is defined by two important transport facilities - the bus station

and the railway station, therefore representing an important transport hub. The square is

divided into several smaller units by a road leading to the bus and train stations. The only

landscaped area is the one situated immediately to the front and the side of the bus station.

Other areas concerned by the project are of low utilisation and aesthetic value.

The buildings surrounding the area of the square have different construction periods and

vary in style and purpose, as well as architectural value. The most important building in

architectural terms is certainly the main bus station, which with its form and materialisation

has a significant impact on the identity of the entire space. Opposite the bus station there is

a group of individual housing structures, as well as the old Jusovača prison. These

structures are part of the old urban ensemble of Drač, however, they have retained little or

nothing of the original appearance, which has been changed mainly by unskilled additions

and repairs. On the east side, the area of the square is delineated by the main railway

station with related facilities.
