Master Plan. Jardin Botánico Atlántico.

Este Plan Director fue desarrollado con Tau Noriega (Edificios), Ingenia-qed (Museos) e INDUROT (Conceptos Botánicos) (Universidad de Oviedo). Intentamos construir un nuevo concepto de Jardín Botánico, donde las colecciones de plantas fueron insertadas en su contexto ambiental. El proyecto paisajístico que desarrollamos fue un ejercicio para adaptar los Ecosistemas a las 25 Ha. de terreno, donde teníamos un jardín histórico y un antiguo bosque de robles de 500 años que queríamos conservar. El proceso de análisis fue muy importante para decidir el mejor lugar para cada Bioma porque queríamos hacer un recorrido didáctico que mostrara la vegetación del Atlántico Norte, desde el Polo Norte al Ecuador.

This Master Plan was developed with Tau Noriega (Buildings), Ingenia-qed (Museums) and INDUROT (Botanical Concepts) (University of Oviedo). We tried to build a new concept of Botanical Garden, where the plant collections were inserted in their environmental context. The landscape project we developed was an exercise to adapt the Ecosystems to the 25 hectares. of land, where we had a historic garden and an ancient 500 year old oak forest that we wanted to preserve. The analysis process was very important to decide the best place for each Biome because we wanted to do a didactic tour that showed the vegetation of the North Atlantic, from the North Pole to Ecuador.

Nordhavnen International Competition. Copenhagen. 2008

Daniel Giaroli, Daniel Camargo (architects) presented this project with me to the competition for Nordhavnen Port of Copenhagen. Although we didn´t result winners, the exercise was very useful as a trigger to start thinking about in international projects.

Main old landscape projects for competitions.

García Lorca´s Park. Granada. Spain. 1988

We tried to preserve the original house of Garcia Lorca, designing a park that would keep on the "hortus" area surrounding the house and working on the idea of paradise that the people from Granada have, for that we translate the dates from study of the Complutense University about the perception of citizens about their own landscape culture. An Auditorium behind the house was left to perform permanently the Lorca´s theatre plays.

Camping Andujar. Jaen, Spain. 1988

On this project the main idea was to transform the old camping in the cultural centre of the village . This project was made with an associated architect who designed the buildings.

Flower Show 1988. Brighton. England.

I worked in Parks & Recreation of Brighton (England) in 1987. During this period, the department made a contest of ideas to design the Flower Show of the following year. This was the winning proposal. 
I drew a joke on the right corner with the Expo´92 Seville Logo than just was announced. Two years later, when I was working in Madrid, Expo´92 asked me if I wanted to be a member of team that finish the Expo. Life has a funny way.
