xiringoscopio is the last kiosk - restaurant designed by j salinas located in Adra.
the main concept is framing the views for having a non static picture of the sea. the second point of interest at the beginning of the design was the idea to create a restaurant bar usable during all the year so the owner could afford the investment easier than having a design optimum only for summer. so the versatility is one of the higher feature for this new design.
j salinas in collaboration with Claudia Cruz from Estudio Unitekt, Mr. Antonio Garcia and Sir Paco Parra wins a competition in Adra for restructuring of "Puerta del Mar" square and building one kiosk - restaurant beside the city hall.
the main idea for the design, was holding the flux of movements of the people by the existing square, and create a pergola that protect the square and the kiosk from the solar incidence.
so the first step was creating a shape (pergola) that could hold deciduous climbing plants (ivy) that could work fine for all the year (protecting during the summer and leaving the sun rays during the winter).
competition with Takuma Yamaguchi and Felix Hortal in collaboration with I3I INGETEC and Andrés Perea.
the character of the purposal is a full rehabilitation of an existing hotel in Argel, including a plan restructuring, structure modification, material sustitution, etc..
j salinas wins a competition in Adra for the construction of two kiosk - restaurants beside the beach.
the main concept is a passive design based on the solar angle during the most busy periods, so the shape has been thought for creating the maximum amount of shadows in the restaurant during the lunch time in summer period. also the orientation and the organization of the shapes have considered the strong winds of the area, so the main volume has been located to protect the mail space of the restaurant.
as we can see in the video above, all the criteria in which is based the the final shape of the chiringuito, has been parametrized in grasshopper, for improving all the variables that we would like to optimize: shape + wind and sun protection.
A contest colaboration with void7 studio formed by Álvaro Guinea and Irma Coello.
The collaboration consisted in design a parametric tower, with a parametric and structural fachade, so after creating the structural law for the fachade, there where infinite solutions, that solves the way how the structure works.
Under this lines, we can see a few solutions developped in Grasshopper and the evolution of the law.
Structural design in grasshopper for a contest developped by Void7 with several engineer offices.
In the video below, we can see how the main volumes deliver their charges into the structural fachade with a parametric law for the length and location of the bars.
In this first collaboration with Álvaro and Irma, my assignment was to model and work in the 3d concept + develop a roof that works like a sunflower optimizing the sun caption though the whole year. Once it was modelled and rendered I worked with / for Nicolas Gutierrez in the final images.
Isover contest made with Carlos Berride and Ignacio Alvarez.
It was a contest in Paris without programme in a old buillding. So we decided to keep the old building, and do some actuations on it: Graffity contest for the fachade, introduce a museum programme, use the vegetation for sun exposition (ivi), etc.
