j2j  working towards  new productive spaces for local food production

-ongoing -

Covid-19, ecological disasters, food scarcity, water problems, CO2 emissions, you name it. We’ve been interested since long ago on how to create what we call “Productive spaces”, searching how can space be used to produce instead of consume (being producing food, energy, water or simply creating spatial flexibility). We must re-think the way our buildings respond to people’s real needs and to the environment.

Below: flexible timber modular building for cities local food production.



                                                               

                            



Seoul Yeoui-Naru Ferry Terminal

                                                                                                                -Proposal -

The Spatial Planning and Ferry Terminal design are based upon a sensitive and sympathetic approach to the context and nature of Seoul. The proposal aims for a full harmony with the Han River and Citizens’ Park and covers the spatial arrangement of the 4 core projects of the Han-gang collaboration, establishing a new urban topography and a consistency throughout the programs within an holistic eco-friendly plan.











Casernes Sports center
 Sant Andreu , Barcelona
-Finalist, public competition 2019-

The location is the old Casernes (quarters) of Sant Andreu neighborhood.Our proposal aimed at becoming a catalyst for transformation and public  activity.The brief established 2 differenciated programs:  a new Sports center and a new building for the city Parks authority. The buildings arrangement left the  largest possible free space to  allow some margin of freedom to study the 5 existing Cedar's new location and create a new open Plaza for citizens enjoyment.



                                                               

                            
Hydroponic green facade

Sports Facility building CEM Turó de la Peira, Nou Barris, Barcelona

-completed-

Acting as a second skin- as a bioclimatic filter- the South-east facing hydroponic green facade will reduce the Summer direct radiation and save on water use, producing a micro-climate and becoming a source for biodiversity 
The NE and NW facades will also integrate specific green species according to their orientation, so that the building mimetize and becomes part of the new public garden next to the facility.
Multifunctional Building
Castro-urdiales, Cantabria Spain

-Proposal-


Value of archaeological heritage: The proposal respects this ancient Roman colony on the Cantabrian coast, preserving the existing ruins and providing the city with a new adaptable building.

Located in one of the lowest income neighborhoods of Barcelona, the project is based on peoples needs,  urban regeneration and the re-introduction of nature to the interior courtyard, by creating a new garden that contributes to the city environmental quality and serves as a support for biodiversity. The structure of the garden gives consistency to the previous degradated space full of concrete, framed by a heterogeneous urban tissue. A new place of social relation, as a filter of the commercial activity of the surroundings, structured in different zones; spaces for the elderly, children's playground area and places of leisure.
The new sports facility building will integrate a public swimming pool on its ground floor and a basketball court on the top level.The building is considered as another element of the garden.The green of the garden bends and ascends to the new building Green hydroponic facade, which integrates local species. Passive architecture,Cross laminated timber structure CLT, efficient MEP systems and renewable energy to achieve a Nearly zero-energy building NZEB.
