The Planta project is on the same site as the Plana del Corb gravel processing plant, in a location that connects the quarry to the original topography. This makes it both a museum space for the Foundation’s collection of contemporary art, and an observatory for the entropic process of time and human activity, connecting the experience of art to the world of ecology and manufacturing. The Planta project is also a 7,500 m2 “thermal machine” built with materials extracted from the quarry based on a layout of form, matter and flow that passively regulates radiation, lighting and ventilation employing advanced thermodynamic concepts. This synthetic dimension, responding to programme (museum, observatory, thermal machine), performance and matter, seeks to connect different periods and local cultures by using local resources and iconographic elements to produce an artefact whose “new primitivism” clearly shows an interest in reappraising the value of time, history and entropy in today’s world.

The park marks the first phase of a transformation process that will affect a large-scale plot. The project entails the creation of a Central Park and, revolving around it, the urban development of two million square meters plus the restoration of another half million square meters dedicated to cultural and leisure uses, mainly intervening in the industrial buildings that are located facing the Huangpu River, which with its 400 meters wide is still dedicated to the fluvial traffic of raw materials with Nanjing, the ancient capital of China. This is indeed a strategic project for the memory of the city since it is right here where the industrialization process of China began with the establishment of warehouses for the textile industry (and the incorporation of women into the labor market).

With a privileged location on the slopes of Casares (Málaga, Spain), the Villa with two Patios adapts to the gentle topography that descends towards the golf course of Finca Cortesín, framing the views of the Mediterranean Sea. The construction of the villa expands horizontally the space of the house in a large perimeter garden terrace that pursues simultaneously the solar optimization of the house, correct cross ventilation and the best views of the sea and the African coast.

Itziar combines a mountainous rural setting with an industrial estate associated with the motorway, built in a brutal violation of the topography of the place. In the form of a volume that brings together four dwellings for members of a family into a residential complex that shares the ground and some spaces, the house is a present-day interpretation of a life associated with the country and vegetable production without being either folkloric or indifferent to tradition. The position chosen for the new construction, as well as providing privacy, favours sun exposure, ventilation and views of the mountains and the sea, obeying criteria of climatic adaptation that are present in local tradition.
