2011 Research

The purpose of this project was to create a calculation tool for obtaining the amount of kwh.day in a surface, in order to know the efficiency of this surface if it would be full of solar panels, this tool is also useful to provide a shading system according to the amount of insolation that has been recei-ving by the surface, choosing the location of the (latitud/longitud) place the calculation tool is going to give us the position of the sun according to the hour, so the surface will hace this dynamic shading system that will be changing according to the sun posi-tion. Finally with this calculation tool we can also know in wich parts of the surface the amount of insolation is lower and in wich other ones is higher in orden to take design strategies for the future.

how to use the tool?1. In orden to start using the Grasshopper tool, you have to set a series of Control Po-int curves with the shape that you want to give to your mesh. Then right click on cur-ves from rhino icon and select set multiple curves, go to Rhino and select all the curves and Enter.2. Next step is to check that the Normals are pointing up, for this you have to go to the Normals icon and turn it on with the Enable Preview on selection. If the normals are po-inting up, you can continue with the next step, if not you should go to rhino, select your curves and type Flip with this all normal vector should be pointing up.

3. Go to the Diva Vector group and type the Latitude and the Longitude where your project is located. Also you have to set the day, month and specific hour in which you want to have the amount of radiation.4. To proceed, you should go to the Turn on Ecotect group and set the Toggle into True with a double click.5. In order to load the mesh into Ecotect you have to go to the Export Mesh to Eco-tect icon and set the toggle into True.6. Go to the Weather File icon and set the Weather file of the country in which your project is located.7. If you have a different amount of Pho-tovoltaic solar panel efficiency, you can change it and your total calculation of KwH produced by mesh/day will change.8. Once you have run the Ecotect, all the calculations should appear on the top of the Rhino mesh, and the total amount of KwH produce by mesh/ day and compare it with the amount of energy consumed by the iaac existing buildings.

Designing AssociavityIACC, Barcelona, Spain.

The goal of the assignment was to study the relationship between information, design and fabrication and implement that data flow into a physical object. We developed a definition to create a data machine that influences a design infor-med by external climatic or ambient data. More specifically, we worked with a buil-ding component (a skin) that changes its behavior based on climatic forces such as solar radiation. In this example, we tried to figure out the best orientation for solar radiation capture/absorbance of the skin according to its shape and surface. This eventually would help calculate wich is the best posibility for greater amount of energy production (kwk). This research is very important and useful to our group because we are working with this type of data in the Self Sufficient Studio. The tools used where Rhino, Grasshopper, Kangaroo, Weaverbird, Geco and Ecotec.

Materials SystemIACC, Barcelona, Spain.

The aim of this research Project was to search for a material that accomplished a series of requirements, fist it has to pass from a liquid state to a solid one. This spe-cific condition its useful in order to repli-cate the minimal path structures experi-ment of Frei Otto and make it perdurable in order to make a couple of test to proof the strength of the material. Several pro-ofs were made but at the end the most successful material was the caramel, that accomplished all the requirements: it can pass from liquid applying heat and then when it dries it became very strength and its biodegradable.

ChaiseLongue Proto-typeVeracruz, México.FreelanceIDEA OF THE DESIGNThe main idea was to make a chair that can change according to phisiological pa-rameters, this means that the shape of the chair is going to change according to the weight, height and measures of the person for which is being designed, this is possible through a Grasshopper defini-tion which every of this parameters can be controlled.Then with another definition (for the waffle) we control the amount of pieces and the thickness of the material. The aim of this process is to automate the design process but always making it very personalTECHNICAL ASPECTS This piece was made with a waffle struc-ture techinique, that allow us to decom-pose whatever shape into X and Y axis pieces.The chair is made of 12 pieces in the X axis (longitudinal) and 16 pieces in the Y axis (transversal) giving us a total amount of 28 pieces.The piece was fabricated with a CNC mi-lling machine and the pieces and shape were designed with Rhinoceros + Gras-shopper + RhinoNest.The material is 9 mm Mahogany triplay, the thickness of the material can variate according with the number of pieces.

Cnc MillingIACC, Barcelona, Spain.

As an overall analysis of Design Studio I “zero bar” project, the assignment clai-med for a 3D model of Barcelona. Fo-llowing the admistrative subdivisions of the city, a digital 2D CAD format map was created by tracing closed polylines for streets, blocks and buildings. It was de-cided that the entire city would be consi-dered flat and only the topography of the most important mountains (Montjuic, Collserola, El Carmel) would be shown since the scale is 1:2000 and not all de-tails would be seen.The aim of this task was to learn the pro-cess to prepare a file in order to send it to the CNC Milling machine and also using the Rhino Cam tool in order to send the file to print. The manufacturing process aims to successively reduce material from the stock model until it reaches the final shape of the designed part. To accomplish this, the typical machining strategy is to first use large tools to perform bulk remo-val from the stock, then use progressively smaller tools to remove smaller amounts of material. When the part has a uniform amount of stock remaining, a small tool is used to remove this uniform stock layer

Bench Laser CuttingIACC, Barcelona, Spain.With: Maria Margariti.Tutor: Tomás Diez.

The aim of this assignment was to de-sign a bench that would constitute part of a collaborative furniture project and construct a model of 1:2 scale using the waffle structure and a Laser Cut machi-ne. The bench should be designed by transforming a given model in Rhino wi-thin a bounding box of 500mm x 500mm x 350mm but keeping the end sections untouched in order to connect with the different benches.

3D PrintingIACC, Barcelona, Spain.

The objective of this exercise is to begin with a complete closed Lego brick which has to be carved and transformed but keeping its eight corners and two cylin-ders untouched in order to allow connec-tion with the other bricks. The result must be something that can’t be done by hand, only with the technology of a 3d printer.The process to prepare a file for the 3D printer is very different; it has a different protocol, so doing this task was very in-teresting.

Proposal of a New vertical urbanism: Urban cloudsVeracruz, México

design process:1.The strategy first was to define the use of the roof of the existing buildings in or-der to link them with the new uses, but for do that the question was: What do this existing buildings need? What are they missing?

2.- Once that I define the uses of the ro-ofs of the existing buildings I start to put some parameters (like height) in order to accomodate the floors for the archi-tectural program as it can be seen in the diagram below.

3.- This project was developed by stripes and every 10 meters a profile appears with a different shape that responds to the parameter previously mentioned (an-chor points and height of the “interspa-ces”)

4.- Once that I had all the stripes with the profiles and the floors I proceed to locate the architectural program into the floors but again with a set of parameters that are going to indicate the best position in order to respond to all this parameters.

5.- Optimization of the shape in order to have the most adequate, the one that re-ceives the greater amount of insolation, using Galapagos (genetic algorithm plu-gin for Grasshopper) to obtain the opti-mization.

6.- Locating the architectural program into the cloud according to the parame-ters mentiones in the point number 4.

7.- Definition of the skin. The lower part is going to serve as a new public space full of farming (for the housing and students residence area), gardens and parks (For the cultural center, offices and hotel area) and also an open space auditorium.The upper part of the skin is going to be covered with solar panels in order to gain energy for the block.

Competition:Mexican Pavilion of Shanghai Expo 2010Veracruz, México

This project was made with the colla-boration of Arq. Victor H. Cardozo and Arq, Ligia Franco, when someone ask the question of how to translate Mexico into a Pavilion, its all about transmiting the feelings that you can experience in this country full of contrasts and diversity, it all begins by making a list of concepts about what its Mexico and we find 5 con-cepts that are the most representative ones: topography, contrast, tradition, water and overcrownding.For the reinterpretationof this concepts, first we study the architectural program and as you know mexico has 32 states, so we make 32 different blocks as if it were

Intervention in Veracruz Historic Center: Cecapro buildingVeracruz, MéxicoTutors: Oscar García Lucia.

This project was a real challenge because we are designing something that is going to be located next to an historic building. We can see that in the historic building we have many guidelines some are explicit like the horizontal ones and other ones are im-plicit like the diagonals that are the result of drawing a line from vertex to vertex of a door or window. We can see all this lines re-flected on the design of the project even the implicit ones, so thats why the two buildings are related one to the other and can co-exist and keep a relationship between them.

the horizontal lines emerge of the different elements of the historical monument

the diagonals emerge of the opposites vertex of the win-dows or doors, notice that the first diagonal is different of the others ones, because the size of the window is bigger than the rest of the windows and that give us a different tilt.

Intervention in Veracruz Historic Center: La Prueba buildingVeracruz, México

The first thing that I did was to make an analysis of the site, measuring the buildings next to the terrain and their elements such as windows, heights, separation between win-dows, doors, etc. In order to find a relation-ship between both buildings and in this way made a grid, once I hadthe building measu-res (La Prueba and the artistic building) and I discovered that all this antique buildings were built with a proportion called golden section, so I made the grid with this section after making several proposals and I get to a conclusion that tries to reinterpret some of the main elements on the facades of both buildings (La prueba and the artistic building) The integration between the project and the two buildings occurs through the mesh lo-cated on the walls project that links tension lines

School Project at Tarimoya lagoonVeracruz, México

This project was suposed to be next to a big lagoon called “Tarimoyas Lagoon” the design process begins with taking many floor plans of mexican schools and then made a collage generating new shapes, then with those shapes create all the spa-ces that a elementary school needs, but

at the same time generate a very nice space at the pedestrian level, not only to create a school but also to create an space where everyone could take a walk or enjoy the view. The material proposed for this project is Panelite because of its thermal performance.
