INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, YEAR 2010/2011
What will be the house of the future, influenced by technology and social networking? In this uto-
pian celebration of the speed of techno-evolution, is it going to be a prescript need to slow down?
The aim of this project is to address the imbalance and reposition our selves towards technology,
reasserting balance by respecting boundaries.
Through the ritual of interacting either and around the table, you will be able to slow down and no
longer see the laptop as a burden to hyper-connectivity and therefore create a new environment
appropriate for reflection.

NEW FAIRGROUND OF ALCALA DE GUADAIRA
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, ETSA SEVILLE, YEAR 2006/2007 1.
This exercise makes us reflect on the hackneyed and obsolete model of the ephemeral town
called “feria”. This typical festival in the south of Spain take place in strategic spaces of the cities.

They are often used only few weeks every year. The idea presented in the workshop was to crea-
te a park that has the possibility to turn into a festival or similar. Moreover we had to think about
a new model of hunt that hasn’t been revised since the XIX century. Improving the generation of

Junction between the machine and the displayy system

The structure of the vending machine is very simple. The
display and the control of the machine are a solid base where
the main structure of the rails is screwed on. Furthermore they
are also screwed on the ceiling to make it stronger.
Detail 1 (hanging system and light) / scale 1:5
The system works as a common dispenser but with the differen-
ce that to recharge it you have to do it from the top of the struc-
ture. From the control panel you select the product that is 22
hanging and you collect it from the bottom of the machine. The
packaging is an acrylic cylinder that you can open from both

sides and it is produced in different sizes depending on the

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, YEAR 2009/2010
In this project we were asked to research and document a visual narrative relating to the issues of
shoplifting and retail crime. This could address not only the issue of crime, but also the shopping
experience as a whole.
User centre approach denotes one common factor between these large/small stores where cheap
and easy products are sold: the retail experience is a chaos. My proposal is to concentrate the
vending machines surrounding them and leaving the rest of the space with low furniture to give
visibility for the staff and helping to create a more abuser-unfriendly space.

13. CHARITY LADDER
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS, YEAR 2009/2010
The aim of this project was changing the meaning of the words “give” and “charity” or, at least, the
perception of people about them.
I decided to enhance the process of collecting money sending sms, the messages sent by people
would not just to be a contribution but also a way of expression.
This idea connects directly with Andy Warhol’s “Everybody will be famous for 15 minutes”. People
who send their sms will see them on screens distributed all through the city. As a result every
campaign that uses this way of collecting will achieve this notoriety needed.

15. SEVILLE’S ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM EXTENSION
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, ETSA SEVILLE, YEAR 2005/2006
The project it is situated square behind the Archeological museum of Seville. The building tries to
look for the maximum versatility of a box by 4 principles: free plan, neutral space, strong techno-
logical support and functional space. I add to all this qualities a new concept of “display cabinet”.
An approach to the consumption spaces through a way to visit the buildings out of pressure. The
building talks about minimalism related with obsolete ancient structures and images. This way of
making architecture is the most capable to deal with complicated programs like an art museum. It
is a light transparent container with a certain sensibility with its surrounding area.

GRAPHIC DESIGN
YEAR 2005/2010
In architecture despite the creation of new habitat and spaces, it is very important the way of
drawing and represents them graphically. The drawing and the construction are two forms of gi-
ving personality to the work of architecture. We could recognize the authority of a building not only
from a photo also from the way it is drawn. In my work I always try to go one step further creating
specific images for each project and program. This is not just a hobby, I truly feel admiration for
the graphic design that has taken me to work in this area in several projects as a freelancer.

17. PAINTING, DRAWING & PHOTOGRAPHY
YEAR 2001/2012
I have been drawing since I have use of memory. What started as an entertaiment for me, made
me realize my admiration for any way of creative expresion from music to fashion. I am contin-
usly exploring what I am capable of as a amateur photographer and more recenllty I have taken
up again painting, one of the best excersices of analisys and synthesis of our reallity, teachings
which I am taking to other levels in my profesion.
