Revisit Rewind Book

Anders Malmberg from Göteborg game me this book Revisited Rewind when I was visiting him in his hometown a few months ago. It is a book done by four friends, Anders himself made the Sound & Music that is included in an insert CD, Mette Muhli & Markus Andersson took the photos and Roberth Ericsson wrote the texts. The result is a beautiful portrait of the places they lived in and people they knew when they were kids. I like traveling light so I send the book by mail to my hometown, then I came back and went straight to Madrid, so finally, now that is  August and  I'm back at home I have the chance to seat and read it in the terrace, with the view of Aloña in front of me.

CONCEPT DESIGN | Silestone + Oteiza

We won a prize in this years i+d+art competition about creating new stuff with Cosentino's Silestone used materials. I have been working together with Rodrigo Delso and Javier Argota this days, developing various proposals. In the winning piece, we wanted to pay tribute to basque sculptor Jorge Oteiza, so we decided to make small replicas of his chalk laboratory with parts of broken or used Silestone pieces.

100X10 is a kind of a summer workshop in which I collaborated as organizer together with  Borja Gómez, María Luisa de Miguel, Rodrigo Delso and Javier Argota. ETSAM professors and architects Marta Maiz and Enrique Herrada were so generous lettingt us their house in a small rural village a hundred or so kilometers away from Madrid called Martin Muñoz de Aylon, where we plan to organize activities for ten days. The first year students in architecture school will be able to learn while having fun this July in that beautiful location.

The idea is to invite different kinds of architects so that each of them teaches us their own abilities. Talented professionals such as Atxu Amann, Ignacio Borrego, Andrés Canovas, Sergio del Castillo, Eva Castiñeira, Enrique Herrada, Luis Diaz Mauriño, Victoria Fernández, Julián Fernández, Ramón Gámez, Paula García-Masedo, Martín Lejárraga, Marta Maíz, Fernando Morán, Gonzalo Pardo, Gema Parreño, Almudena Ribot, Marcelo Ruiz-Pardo, Luis Pancorbo, Javier Seguí, Joseba Sánchez, Álvaro Soto... among others are already confirmed. Stay tuned for more on the official website 100x10.com

I have been in charge of creating some promotional videos for the event and I need to thank everyone who participated on them, for being such imaginative and spontaneous. Now everything we need is people ready to learn and have fun in this adventure we have imagined.

100X10 COMING SOON

Rodrigo Delso, Javi, Borja, Malu and I are preparing something pretty interesting for this summer. Its  title is 100X10.
