SOLAR CONCENTRATION KITCHEN PROTOTYPE MADE WITH AN ORIENTABLE PARABOLIC CYLINDER.

A solar kitchen is proposed as a personal investigation. It allows heat a little steel plate (as a griddle) or pot. It is made using the geometric properties of the parabola that can concentrate the solar rays into a focus. The principal difficulty of the project is to let the cylinder orientate without losing the horizontality of the griddle. The prototype can concentrate fifteen times the solar energy into the griddle, getting around of 600 W (in a sunny day at summer in 40º latitude).

by rotating around the focus axis, the cylinder can be oriented
with the solar height angle (h): from 20 to 70 degrees.

focus axis - solar height (h)

vertical axis - azimuth (A)

Proposal for the "V edition of ECOZINE's festival" poster contest

ECOZINE is an International festival of cinema and environment that take place in Zaragoza, Spain. It is organized by the Zaragoza's city council and the Ecozine's cultural association. The fifth edition was celebrated on May, from 11 to 18.

In this context, the organization made a competition to choose the poster for the festival. So I decided to participate with a collage made of recycled materials, according to the theme of the festival. I tried to introduce both technique of cinema and sustainability without using complicated computer technologies. I made a plane model of an antique video camera with paper and then I took a picture of it. I also put a representative view of the city of Zaragoza at the bottom of the poster.

Drawings for the "First Online Drawing Contest ab 2009”

These are the drawings which I presented to the "First Online Drawing Contest ab 2009". The contest was to draw the architectural works of "Arquitectura Blanca" (a group of projects built with concrete). The rules said that technique was free, but I decided not to use the computer. So I used pencil, pen and watercolour in order to get a more natural style.

PROTECTED HOUSES IN MADRID, SPAIN

The project starts from a simple module grouped in several ways and related with the public space with different privacy degrees. It creates various edificatory types that answer to a contemporary and mixed society. Other compatible uses are also given in order to complement it.
