Located on the industrial coastline of Valencia, the AlgaeCulture Centre explores the intersection of architecture, ecology, and education. The project reimagines how cities can integrate sustainable production systems within urban contexts, using algae cultivation as both an environmental and educational tool.

Designed near agricultural fields, a historic church, and a touristic marina, the proposal establishes a dialogue between industry, nature, and community.

It addresses global challenges of unsustainable production and climate change, introducing biotechnological strategies that reduce emissions while raising public awareness about responsible resource management.

The centre functions as a research and learning hub, promoting innovation in algae-based materials and fostering public engagement with sustainable urban development.

The design envisions a new model for coastal regeneration—where architectural form, natural systems, and human activity coexist in balance.

Typology: Landscaping + Pavilion Escenario Puerta del Ángel is the main event space on the site, currently hosting Cirque du Soleil from October 21 to January 15.

Outside of event periods, the area suffers from low activity, creating safety concerns and a sense of abandonment.

Our strategy introduces connective landscaping to encourage daily use and link the site’s different areas.

By zoning activities according to time and user type, conflicts are minimized, while vegetation acts as a natural guide, enhancing transitions to the lake, improving the ecosystem, and reducing maintenance needs.

Key stakeholders were considered to guide the design:

Neighbors: gain recreation spaces, improved park maintenance, and increased local business activity.

Ecologists: benefit from greater biodiversity, greenery, and ecosystem enhancement.

Private traffic: managed through scheduled access to meet city demands.

The design aims to reactivate the area, improve safety, and create a vibrant, multifunctional environment that serves diverse users throughout the yea

Typology: Territorial Project In the face of climate change, design must address waste reduction and support a circular economy.

This project envisions a flexible rural-urban living complex that accommodates a thriving startup district while allowing rural life to flourish.

By enabling remote work with occasional office visits, rural communities can remain vibrant, reversing depopulation trends.

The complex integrates waste management infrastructure, connecting households directly to waste-to-energy facilities and green workshops.

Housing units are arranged to support flexible living for diverse rural and urban residents, fostering cultural exchange and collaboration.

Green workshops provide spaces for knowledge sharing and innovation, while also creating production and market opportunities for small-scale producers, bypassing intermediaries.

The design combines sustainable living, economic opportunity, and community, bridging the gap between rural and urban life.

The digitization of work has transformed many jobs into freelance roles, especially for young professionals navigating this transition.

This shift demands flexibility—something traditional urban living no longer provides.

Our project addresses this need through a mobile house design equipped with three rotating furniture panels, each serving multiple functions to maximize spatial efficiency.

The house can also split into two parts: a compact, self-sufficient core for short trips or work assignments, and a larger, stationary body connected to repurposed infrastructure hubs between cities.

Echoing Aristotle’s idea of humans as “political animals,” the design balances collective and individual needs, enabling people to gather for community and learning while retaining the freedom to detach and pursue personal goals.

As part of a three-week intensive workshop at IE University, this project focused on Revit, Dynamo, and parametric modeling in Grasshopper.

The challenge was to design a flexible stadium for the Barcelona team, accommodating basketball, tennis, concerts, and other programs within a 50,000 m² footprint.

The design demanded precise programmatic organization, aligning with the sponsor Freixenet’s vision while ensuring profitability.

Deliverables included a comprehensive profitability study, full structural design, and retractable roof and facade systems.

Parametric design enabled a community-centered stadium, integrating public spaces and workshop areas.

The iconic bubble-shaped form (“La Bombolla”) reflects the brand identity and was optimized for sunlight and environmental performance.

The project reinterprets Guaraní culture as a living territory — one that connects people, land , and lost ancestral knowledge. Centered on the San Ignacio Miní Mission in Argentina, it reconstructs the historic network linking the Jesuit missions along the Paraná River across Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil.

Through housing and cultural spaces, the proposal seeks to revive the ruins and create new ecological and cultural circuits within the Sub-Amazonian forest. It envisions a territorial university — a place for research, reflection, and connection with heritage.

Blending history, architecture, and rural tradition, the project transforms the past into a platform for education, social dialogue, and self-organization — a new stage for cultural and environmental renewal.
