KUBIK SHELF 1.0

Parametric Shelf made of pine wood by CNC milling machine

Software used: Rhinoceros + Grasshopper 3D

Design: Jose Salinas

Moon Beach - Design Project

Chill out modules in Adra (Almería)

Maspalomas & El Ingles - Design Competition

With partners from Ma-studio: Takuma Yamagochi, Begoña Lázaro & Blanca Macarrón

J Salinas & Grupo Vimalto

Xirigoscopio adaptation for social housing in South America

Xiringoscopio

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.

Emplazados en Adra - Competition winner

COMPETITION FIRST PRIZE

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).

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.

PFC exhibition

video explanation / exhibition of the PFC showed in uem (Universidad Europea de Madrid) on november. Audio language is "spanish" (abderitan).

the term of time for the realization of this video was 48 hours, so excuse me about possible bugs and sound quality.

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

void - 7 : Wind Firefly, Taiwan: Substructure

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.

void - 7 : BeoHala, Belgrade

Contest collaboration with Void7.

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.

void - 7 : BeoHala, Belgrade: sun roof analysis

Creation / analysis of a "sunflower" style cover, that adapts their orientation to the positin of the sun.

As we can seein this short video, the panels adapts their orientation as we move the point of attracton. Afterwards, we change this point by the sun vector, and we have an optimized sun captor cover.

TELESCOPIC CUCUMBER oR CUCUMBERSCOPE

LAST DESIGN COURSE with Juan José Mateos, in UEM.

Hammam in Yenikapi (Istanbul). Design based on views. With a 3D Model of the city + Grasshopper analysis I detect the best position in the terrain and the altitude for having the best views (5 mosques + rest of the city + sea).

So, the final design are three buildings (3 programmes) that are optimized for having the best views in each programme.

e0 residential

e0 residential building in Madrid, where e0 means energy 0 consumption.

the basis of this design was using passive energy systems. So the main concept was creating a sun roof cover that works during the summer, but during the winter leave the sun rays pass throw it.

For the cover I used GH to get the best orientation and angles and then I defined a fachade that works as a sun filter during the summer.
