Humilde opinión sobre los parados, de una parada....

El otro día, mirando el Twiter me encontré con esté twit de la web Quiero Empleo, al que contesté de la forma que veis abajo

@ Un millón de no ha completado la Secundaria. Y nadie habla de cuantos tenemos estudios superiores...

Y linkaba al siguiente artículo del periódico 20minutos 


"El Gobierno quiere que la formación se convierta en el eje fundamental en los nuevos planes de recolocación que se están poniendo en marcha. El pasado viernes se aprobó en Consejo de Ministros una reforma de las políticas activas de empleo (los programas de reinserción laboral) que el Ministerio de Trabajoun millón de parados que no ha completado el nivel de educación Secundaria. considera «la más importante de los últimos 25 años». Y es que en España hay "

Creo que con este trocito es suficiente para descargar mi ira. Formación como eje fundamental para reducir el número de parados... Váyanse a la mierda. Después de ocho años estudiando una carrera, ahora en muchos procesos de selección me rechazan por exceso de formación. 

Entiendo que haya gente que lo tiene complicado porque llevaban años desempeñando un trabajo, y ahora si lo han perdido, no sepan hacer otra cosa. Pero a los jóvenes que estamos en el paro, que no nos hagan reir con más formación, que estamos hartitos. Además, llamando formación a acudir a una cita para que nos enseñen a elaborar un curriculum... Esa el la formación que he recibido yo del INEM. Señores, seamos serios, que tengo una carrera, sé hacer un CV, probablemente mejor que la funcionaria que me atendió dicho día...

He dicho.

Library + School Farm, Collado Villalba, Madrid
Projects 3
Delivered: 2004 Spring
Tutors: Sergio de Miguel + Mónica Alberola
TU: Capitel

This new project for the downtown Collado Villalba is conceived as a whole programme. The council brief is to fill voids in the urban context with equipments for the inhabitants and tourists: a school-farm and a car park in the village boundary and a library in the main square, in front of the town-hall. 

The strategy is the same in all the development: to produce the design with a crooked ribbon which could act as walls, book stacks, spaces or fences.

The school-farm is located in a huge plot in the North of the village. The ribbon’s design begins with the car park, following with the keeper house, then the fence and finally the elongated single- storey building with all the facilities for children and instructors: rooms, wardrobes, classrooms, craft workshops, canteen and kitchen. This chain of uses stands in spiral shape. It prompts the circulation and wraps the inner space for harvesting, farming and playing.

The library is made with another ribbon, trying to wrap the intern plot in the square and leaving inner courtyards. In this design, the ribbon houses the book stacks, stretching out into three storeys. The staircase flushed with the inner courtyard and joining the storeys is also made with the same stacks.

The access is located in the back street, going through a tinny garden, looking to the town hall square. The ground floor houses facilities for the village like a conference room and a newspaper library. Two storeys above comprise study spaces with desks inserted in the ribbon among the book stacks and administrative offices. Regarding to the ribbon, the mostly glazed elevations change with the movement of the books by users. The light drawn into by these elevations also suffers changes and sifts.

This new residential development of thirty one dwellings, facilities and two little shops forms part of the rehabilitation project of the downtown Madrid. The five-storey building is raised up between two existing one’s. Thus, the project has only two elevations: one to a traffic road and other to a pedestrian street. There is a three meters (nine, eighty-five feet) difference level between the streets, and are separated fifty meters (a hundred and sixty-four feet).

The large length of the site forces the design to make an inner courtyard. This courtyard houses the two exterior circulation cores, located close to the existing buildings end walls. The pedestrian access to the building is prompted by two streets, but in different level. The vehicles access is located in traffic road and leads to the single-storey car park by an L-shaped ramp.

The programme is divided in two bands, flushed with the streets. Owing to the difference in floor level, the band storeys are not at the same height. The main orientation of the issues is northwest-southeast. In ground floor there are shops and the gym. Upper plans houses are designed in four types of intern dwellings with removable wood walls. The surface of this dwellings is from 30 m² (325 ft²) in lofts to 120 m² (1290 ft²) in four-bedroom flats.

Contemporary Art Museum, Toledo

This museum, located in the World Heritage City of Toledo, is proposed in the eastern boundary, overlooking the river Tajo. The aim of the design is to hide the building, to keep the views from Zocodóver Square, and to surprise the pedestrians going down high pitch route, Miguel de Cervantes Street.

The new Contemporary Art Museum is a semi-buried building, flushed with the slope. The plan is conceived through the urban traces. The concrete structure provides with three different directions, dividing the plan with two wedges. The access is prompted by these two wedges: the visitors’ one and other one for workers and vehicles.

The main entrance is vanished, and you don’t notice it until you get the end of the street and cross the plateau to look to the views and the river. The dug-in edge of the plan is defined by a large crooked concrete retaining wall. This wall defines the line of inner serpent circulation. The end of this route is 40 feet (12 meters) below, in the full-height foyer, guiding people to Carmen Walk. 

The museum area is a three storey block. It is connected with the services block by the wedged foyer. This area comprises a library, which can be used independently by citizens, seminar rooms, and an auditorium and a cafeteria in the ground level. The third block, including administrative offices and warehouse, is linked in the ground floor with the museum’s one. The main museum area is conceived like a walkway between artworks and natural elements. There are facilities for permanent exhibitions in the two upper storeys, and for temporary exhibition, with easier removable walls, in grounds’ one. The light is drawn into this walk by northern orientation vertical glazed spans and by large translucent glass windows looking to the river.



School of Art, Architecture and Design, Berlin


School of Art, Architecture and Design, Freie Universität, Berlín
Projects 8
Delivered: 2008 Spring
Tutors: Ángela Gª de Paredes + Iñaki Carnicero
TU: López-Peláez



The Free University is the largest of Berlin three universities. The mat-like campus was designed by Candilis, Josic, Woods and Schiedhelm. The aim of the project was to fill the void between the most important building, Humanities Institute, and the rest of the departments. The new school provides with the structure to link and nails the urban context. The building sits flushed with Fabeck St. and creates a recurrence pattern for building and natural components, based on the Sonsbeek Pavilion in Arnhem by Aldo van Eyck.

The new school of art, architecture and design includes facilities for teaching, research, working, model-making and crafts, comprising classrooms, seminar rooms and workshops. Also, there are administrative offices, shop, cafeteria, library and an auditorium. The space between Josic, Candillis, Woods and Schiedhelm building and school forms an outer atrium and prompts the approach by two ends of building. The inner circulation space works as a comb, with only one storey, with two access points as ends. The circulation servant space is the foot of the perpendicular served spaces.

The main materials are concrete, glass and lawn. The highly legible structure is made of 3 meters-multiple span parallel concrete walls pierced by the circulation corridor. By the high length of these walls, courtyards appear among them with a semi-circular wall marking the access. The Fabeck St. façade is made of glass, or polycarbonate panels in places where more privacy is necessary, covered by a spread metallic mesh. The opposite elevation is glazed. The inner elevations in the courtyards are glazed too and the floors are made of lawn and Ipe wood paving.

The light in a teaching building has to be one of the most important deals. In this project, all the light in work spaces is drawn into by vertical glazed spans located in different height depending on the space below. The placement of these elements is based on northern or southern orientation. The light is sifted by diffusive sheets of wood on the wall-perpendicular concrete joists.
