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.
7. 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.
8. 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 specic
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.
9. 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, reective 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.
10. La Movida Nmada 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 exible and
variable enough as to be adapted to the projects evolution and to
very dierent 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 eciency
and of production. The urban and architectural design is artistic,
spectacular and extraordinary, to provoke both urban and social
unlikely situation.
11. #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
oer 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.
12. 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 aect the design process. I participated only
in the foundation phase, but working with our hands was really
teaching.

40.000 This project was done to satisfy the needs for access by the
disabled and aged people. The rst 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 ooring, 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 ooring, re plastering and painting the
walls, lighting and electricity. To nish we changed the entrance
door and part of the faade to give the building hole new look.

Budget 2015 Bilbao, Spain. 45Sqm Commercial 50.000 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 backtting, re plastering re
tiling the walls, installation of a new insulating ceiling,
resistant and non slip ooring, 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 ooring, re tiling, re decoration, plum- bing, lighting and
electricity. To nish we painted the entrance wood windows and door
in white to give the bara hole new look to attract customers.
21. Flat Refurbishment Role Description Creating designs and
detailed drawings. Liaising with construction professionals and
client. Choosing and buying materials Adapting plans and resolving

Bilbao, Spain. 80Sqm Residential 30.000 This project consisted in
carrying out extensive refurbishment work throughout in- cluding
kitchen, corridor, bedrooms, living room, oce space and
transforming one bathroom into two. Adding a second bethroom
greatly adds to the value of the at. Bathrooms and kitchens are
often the main selling points of houses and ats. 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
oors and false ceiling were tted. We chose grey wood parquet for
the living places, and 3 dierent kinds of tiles in the bathrooms
and the kitchen. We choose to make two dierent bathrooms, the rst
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 ecient
alternative. The at 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 aects safety, health
or public maintenance of the building and the people who inhabit
it. In an ITE we nd dierent 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 aects
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, aect
habitability.
24. Faade painting and scaolding project Role Description
Visiting site and taking pictures to document the report. Drawing
plans for the erection of the proposed scaold. Liaising with
construction professionals. Writing and presenting the report to
the council. Year Location Age Use Material 2015 Bilbao, Spain. 2/3
XX cen Residential Concrete This project complies with current
legislation UNE 76-502-90 HD 1000, y DIN 4420. It is a supported
scaold with platforms supported by rigid, load bearing members such
as poles, legs, frames and outriggers. We seek to ensure a safe
scaold construction by fully qualied and trained scaol- 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 scaolds 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,
scaold 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.
