Lalín City HallMansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos (Madrid, Spain)Team: Luis Díaz-Mauriño, María Langarita, Carlos Martínez de Albornoz, Asa Nakano, Anna Partenheimer, Andrés Regueiro, Sara Murado.Project location: Lalín, Spain.Construction completion date: March 2011.Floor area: 65,000 sq. ft.Total budget: 15.000.000 Euros.Responsibilities: Team member (CA). Produced detailed Construction Documents for curtain wall façade. Systems coordination. Development of interiors, plans and sections.

This new city hall building for the small northern Spanish city of Lalín derives from the proposal of an open structure that behaves almost like a mathematical field. The building impacts the local architectural dialogue by connecting to the area’s rich architectural ancient history. Based on the round houses of the Celtic Galician helmets built during the 1st C. B.C, the City Hall opts for a strategy of dispersion and dif-fusion, as opposed to one of compactness and limitation: a social and architectural structure that is, finally, devoid of hierarchy.

Energy DomeMansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos (Madrid, Spain)Team: Marceline Ruckstuhl, Carlos Brage, David Orkand, Elke Gmyrek, Andrés Regueiro, Rubén Arend, Sara Murado.Project location: Soria, Spain.Competition date: January 2008. Currently under construction.Floor area: 280,000 sq. ft. Total budget: 35,000,000 Euros Responsibilities: Team member (CD). Production of Construction Drawings, plans, sections, interior finishes and façade details. Construction of detailed model pub-lished in El Croquis.

This institutional building is part of a larger public initiative to build an “Environmental City” centered on energy efficiency. The Energy Dome derives from the idea of the Big Bang and the geometric efficiency of the sphere. A 43 meter-high semi sphere breaks up into ten modules dedicated to different programmatic areas: a hotel, a conference cent-er, as well as exhibition and administration spaces. The disaggregation of each module responds to the presence of trees and bodies of water that the project aims to keep undisturbed. The complex relies strongly on both active and passive measures for energy efficiency, as well as on the use of local materials such as Soria Pine. The latter determine the building´s architectural choices: most notably, the parietodynamic domed roof packages. These include integrated solar and thermal pan-els, an air shaft all along their interior surface for summer ventilation and winter heat conservation, and a rain water collection system.

Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos (Madrid, Spain)Team: Andrés Regueiro, Carlos Albornoz, Marceline Ruckstuhl, Rubén Arend, Mila Moskalenko, Bryony Roberts, Sara Murado.Project location: Toledo, Spain.Competition date: June 2010. Construction start date: TBD.Floor area: First phase 34,500 sq. ft. Fourth phase 113,000 sq. ft.Total budget: 21,000,000 Euros. Responsibilities: Production of competition entry, from Concept Development through Design Development, including massing iterations, material options, light studies, details, plans and sections. Presentation materials and graphics.

Planned on an archaeologically-sensitive area right outside of Toledo, and adjacent to a university campus, this museum also serves as a center for the interpretation of the Visigothic ruins on the site. Its cel-lular composition system renders the complex flexible and porous in order to create connections with its context. Its plan is based on the historical growth pattern of the city (with repeated typologies arranged around courtyards), and Visigothic square-plan church architecture.

Winning Proposal: Yale University First Year Building Project

Yale University. Fall 2005 StudioProject location: Henry Street, New Haven, CT.Floor area: 1,500 sq. ft.Project duration: 4 weeks.

The driving idea behind our team’s design was to center the house on a fully grown tree existing on the property. The conception of the house as a being protected by a “shell” centered the interior living space on the courtyard and its tree. In addition, the house’s main living space was traversed by an integrated cabinetry unit, which the students built at the school’s fabrication and wood shops, and was central to the project.

Museum of Contemporary Art

This senior studio project consisted on the design of a 10,000 square-meter museum on Frankfurt’s “museumsufer,” adjacent to Meier’s Museum of Decorative Arts. My solution to the problem took on two major concepts: a response to Meier’s diagram, and the will to design a contemporary art museum that is at once an institution in the traditional sense, but can also behave with the flexibility and porosity of an urban gallery district.

Teaching Museum on the Campus of Wesleyan University

Wesleyan University Teaching MuseumYale University. Fall 2006 StudioCritic: Keith KrumwiedeProject location: Middletown, CT.Project duration: 13 weeks.

This project bridges the “town and gown” divide by means of circulation. The most signifying feature of the museum’s program, its open storage display, is conceived as a loop that connects students and town visitors. Beginning and ending at the museum lobby, this loop hosts the display cases of the permanent collection. It also leads visitors through the galleries and is centered on a court-yard aligned with the path running between the pavilions of the adjacent Center for the Arts by Kevin Roche.

Responsibilities: Individual project.

Piano Stand

The Piano Stand project stemmed from the design and production of a series of cast aluminum pieces to be integrated within a larger assembly. The ornate aluminum pieces were inspired by Alvar Aalto’s vase designs and function as joint reinforcements. The rest of the piece is made in solid mahogany, veneered plywood and vacu-formed laminated wiggle board.

All oil paintings are independent work completed between 2004 and 2011.
