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 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.

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.

RETIRO's larva PAVILION

A pavilion's design for Retiro's park in Madrid. This was the design presented for the 5th course of construction in UEM (Madrid). Presented on Material Gallery - Madrid along summer 2010.

The criteria, was to design a pavilion with the shape of a recognized object with a predefined material assigned by the tutor. My assigned material was wood, so I take a termite's larvae as shape, because it's one of the worst enemys for wood.

As a proccess of investigation, I tried merge all the stages of the design into one parametric proccess, using the power of recursivity, to optimize the shape and final design.

The entire design and building methods have been parametrized, so this design is valid and adaptable to many situations (change of locations, number of rings, temperatures, scale, etc).
