Chiringuito "La Moraga" - Step 01 - Competition Winner

COMPETITION FIRST PRIZE

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.

Chiringuito La Moraga - Step 0 - Shape generation

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.

ALGORITMO PROYECTUAL - PFC

End of Degree project

An investigation about new analysis / representation / design generation methods (digital ones) for spatial creation. I started the PFC (end degree project) thinking in the way of doing a personal reflection about what was going to be my proffesional orientation, so my interests in that momment were introduce the new digital ways of creating architecture to a traditional programme in an historical city.

Then, thinking in the programme and subjective parametres like relevance of water for Istanbul, started this investigation, about geometry, reoresentation, analysis, etc.

Finally, the project is a re-reintrepetation of some spatial investigations (Uzton + Kiesler) of the sixties with the newest language in architecture.

INPUT parametres: city / spatial investigation / programme / metaball eq / algorithm

KANGAROO - CATENARY ANALYSIS

Contnuying with the investigation arond Grasshopper resources.

I started studying the kangaroo physics plugin for grasshopper, that allows structural analysis for domes, and some other physics effects on structures.

This is the first examle done with this plugin, where we can see how we can create a Gaudi domes, from the study of the catenary, using some forces to deform a rectangular mesh.

void - 7 : Wind Firefly, Taiwan: Façade

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.

Istanbul Weather Analysis

In colaboration with Vicente Soler, Juan José Sánchez and Miguel López.

The vido shows a resume about the weather variaton along the year in Istanbul. It's made from weather information parsed from internet to a excel file, and represented with Grasshopper.

Along the video we can see a comparision between some weather features: relative dampness / rain fall, pressure / dampness, relative dampness / precipitation, avg temperature/ dew point temperature, wind / temperature.

It's a visual representation for the weather data:

GRAN VIA's noise analysis

a sound / noise analysis in Gran Via. This video is a sound representation / route thru Gran Via, where we can see this main sounds, that actually represents GRAN VIA.

This video was made during the first course of design with Nicolas Gutierrez, Juan Manuel Gonzalez and Roque Peña.
