    My name is Juanjo Cub Hernndez, an architect from Orihuela (Alicante/Spain). I studied my architecture degree at the Universidad Politcnica de Valencia. For my final degree project I developed a Community Integration Complex (CIC) for people with mental illnesses, located in el Cabanyal in Valencia, a degradedarea of the city. The aim of the project was to achieve the social regeneration of this area with the refurbishment of the Lonja, a historic building in this fishing village.

    Currently I live in Antwerp where I have spent the last two years, working first as an Intern at Atelier ASA (http://www.atelierasa.eu/) and the as a collaborator at Tom Cortoos Architecten (http://tomcortoosarchitecten.com/).

    While studying for my degree I have completed several internships for various companies as well as working on joint projects for competitions and have won several prizes for my work.

    I worked as an Intern at a studio in Valencia called MACLA Arquitectos (http://maclaarquitectos.wordpress.com/) and at PAISEA landscape architecture magazine (www.paisea.com) also located in Valencia. At the moment, I am a member of the editorial staff of the magazine, and I coordinated issue #029 pedestrian scapes and currently I am also working in the incoming issue #031 urban park 3. The magazine allows me to be in direct touch with landscape architecture in a very active and dynamic way.

    Once in Belgium, I did an internship in Atelier ASA, in Antwerp, through the Leonardo da Vinci programme. There I collaborated in several competitions as Europan 12 or VMSW (Social Housing), and some other projects of housing. This experience has been really useful, giving me the chance to learn and to work in a nice ambience where I could improve my language and professional skills.

    Afterwards I became a collaborator architect at Tom Cortoos Architecten, working in several house renovation projects and competitions for public buildings such as schools, libraries or visitors centres, or public spaces.

    On the other hand, I have won prizes for two consecutive years from the V and VI International Competition of Ctedra Hispalyt (http://www.aulahispalyt.es) for joint projects and also gained a second prize in a Competition for Ctedra Municipios Sostenibles (www.camuniso.upv.es/). For the first competition we designed a bus stop, a caf, a public square in Santander and a multipurpose pavilion and a public square in the surroundings of the Castle and the Roman Theatre of Sagunto, respectively. For the third project we worked on the landscape recovery of a waste plant in Ador, Valencia.

    Within my skills, I have a wide knowledge in AutoCAD and Photoshop as well as InDesign and Illustrator. I am also efficient in 3D studio and lately I started working with Sketchup+VRay. I am a native Spanish speaker and I am able to speak fluent English. I have also studied German for two years and I even spent one month in Berlin improving it, as well as French in the High School for 6 years. If I have the chance to stay in Antwerp I would also assess the possibility of learning Dutch to be more integrated in Belgian daily life.

    These experiences allow me to have a lot to offer and always something to learn, and I am looking for an opportunity to continue my professional life. I am a very active and enthusiastic person and work very well in a team.

    I look forward to hearing from youYours faithfully,

    Juanjo Cub Hernndez

  • A first step in the organization of the masterplan for the Europan site is the creation of a U-shaped building block, surrounding the incoming green that connects landscape and city. Secondly, in order to preserve both Mega and the sheim house, parts of the building are disconnected and allow the establishment of transversal connections in between. More side streets appear when the block is further scaled down, through which the site becomes an easily accessible area in proximity of the city center. Shifting the various housing blocks, in the end, optimizes the views over the site and the relationship of each house with the green.The program for the masterplan has to respond to the request of s to facilitate a mixed program, with a strong focus on cultural and university life. A large part of the Europan site is filled in with 10

  • collective housing. The appartments offer an alternative for mainly young families, singles and elderly to the freestanding houses that characterize s right now. Part of each ground fl oor is taken by duplex houses, provided for (semi-)commercial, work or private space. The sheim house, on its turn, is preserved for a B&B. Further, a signifi cant amount of students is housed in Mega. By providing space for student accommodation close to the town center, our site fulfi lls the role of the missing node in the network of campuss that turns s into one university town again. The synergy between community and university life is then strengthened by attributing

    the lower fl oors of Mega to a business and community center where f.e. architects and graphic designers can have their offi ce. In fact, the center contributes to a larger cultural scene that is set up on the site and is further shaped by the atelier houses and the Tandberg Museum. Being a landmark on the edge of town, the museum itself does not function as an isolated tower. It is part of a cultural trajectory through the center of s. Since the Tandberg collection is spread over public spaces of the town, it highly interacts with visitors, inhabitants and possibly other artists who are invited to respond to it. The museum meets the neighborhood, in a way. 13

    Roquetas de Mar. Spain / 2014

    Tom Cortoos Architecten

    The existing market building is stripped of all secondary and technical systems to achieve a completely open space under the sculptural roof with inverted arches. The perimeter of the building is fully glazed and where necessary the glass facade is set back to protect the space from the harsh sun or a second layer added with external screens.

    All serving functions are housed in the small volumes that are placed against the market hall. The entrance, a caf, loading docks and offices are placed in the volumes cladded with aluminum plates. The concrete gutters collect the water from the spectacular roof and spit it into the water features in the square.

    The Memorial clearly steps out in the urban tissue of its surroundings, much like the events it commemorates. Three tools are used to generate the Memorial; extrusion, rotation and excavation.The plan is constructed from fragments of synagogues, ghetto alleys, safe houses, hiding places. The result is an uneasy and unsettling collection of spaces. Rooms and courts that recall images of burnt-down houses and abandoned places. It creates a world of shadows with a strong contrast between the lit clearings in the field and the dark shadows in the dense zones. Larger courts get a specific use; a Place for Gathering and Place

    for Contemplation. A tree is planted here as a symbol of hope, for he who believes the world will soon come to an end doesnt plant trees.Benches offer a place to rest, talk, think. A line with the names of the Jews that were arrested and deported from Bologna runs over the memorial, honouring the victims of the holocaust.A continuous route connects the entry on Via Matteotti with the one in Via Carracci, rendering the passage through the Memorial into an experience with a clear beginning and end. Visitors leaving the Memorial find themselves in a different place and another state of mind.

    VAN NOORTHouse renovation in Antwerp(under construction)

    Antwerp. Belgium / 2014 -2015

    Tom Cortoos Architecten

    The typical back volume of this town house is being renovated while preserving the distinct character of the respective chambers. Each room will have its own decking and roof shape so the rooms further privatize while thanks to the large openings are closely interlinked. Between the kitchen on the ground floor and office on the mezzanine a spatial connection is provided.

    The new school building would be organized in one level. This is a very clear choice to achieve an extremely accessible and clear building. At the back of the school site, facing the fields, comes the new volume. The relationship between the playground and the adjacent playing field is ensured by cutting the volume. The entrance to the building is marked and there is an interesting junction where the canopy, the entrance to the building and the path come together.The circulation of the existing building and the canopies is continued in the new building. The physical integration is optimal, and also forms the basis for a next phase with further capacity expansion.

    The central area of the new building gets daylight by inserting two patios and a skylight. The smaller rooms where special classes are given are linked. Furthermore, this area is filled with storage and technical spaces. The bigger classes are situated on the outside of the construction and all of them have a large window directed towards the surroundings. At the back of the property is as if the beautiful rolling countryside rolls in the 4 classes because the ground connection at the level of the windows. The low volume also indemnifies the view from the main building of the new volume around at this magnificent landscape

  • The new building is conceived as two different volumes to be built against each other, so both (the classroom building and the multipurpose space) have its own ideal customized plan. The classroom building with its tight structure efficient plan, compact and with a lot of repetition and the multipurpose room as a large open space. The multipurpose room with its program for the entire school site, and by extension even for the whole neighborhood, can play a role as a building with a connecting role. The emblematic shape of the room reinforces this character.

    All different periods in history left their marks and traces in the city, much like layers or sediments in geology. Biggest challenge here is to give back spatial continuity to the area of the Central Square, as it is now cut into four sectors by the crossing of two major roads. To achieve this we push the car tunnel underneath the Roman ruins, thus creating an archeological anachronism with the contemporary layer underneath the ancient layer.

    Thanks to this unifying intervention a continuous landscape passes underneath the central square. This square measures exactly 180m by 180m and is constructed from large syenite blocks. The square installs a new contemporary grid which clashes with the Roman grid. The tension between these two dominant directions reveals the confrontation of the different historic layers.

    Our proposal shows a clash of historic layers. All periods are treated equally. We treat these layers with respect but are not intimidated nor paralyzed by the presence of this overwhelming history. New layers are added, interventions of today have their own logic and identity. They continue the history of this intriguing place in the centre of Plovdiv.

    The projects consists on the renovation of an abandoned ringoven to house tourist and sport facilities, restaurant and museum. As a result of an analyisis of the original building we propose to rebuild a roof that recovers the character of the building while becomes a landmark for people passing by the plot along the river and the road. The roof covers as well the public square linking the existing building and the new volume, and due to its shape views towards the neighbours are avoided while we emphasize the views towards the Rupel and the Schorre..

  • The project consists of a new extension for a freestanding house. The main goal is to avoid building a simple box against the existing building that does not relate with it. The extension should house a new kitchen and a cinema - sitting area. It is build as an addition of several elements (podium, wall-cabinet, ceiling, glass facade, pivoting door and terrace) that at the same time link it with the existing but highlight the different qualities of each space.

    Final Degree Projectla Lonja de Pescadores del Cabaal as a pretext. Community Integration Complex (CIC) for the mentally illValencia. Spain / 2012

    directed by igo Magro & Manuel Portaceli

    SketchesMasterplan

    The project proposes to renew the his-torical building of the Lonja in the de-graded neighbourhood of El Cabanyal in Valencia. The aim is to suggest a new use in order to value it and recover this mostly residential maritime village. Instead of housing a emblematic pro-gram, the suggested use consists of a Community Integration Complex for mentally ill. The goal is to normalize the situation of mentally ill and integrate them in the sociaty rather than isolat-ing them. This is achieved, on the one hand, by settling in their residence in this urban fabric and on the other hand, by locating the common areas , as well as the public program, in the building of the Lonja, so all the neighbourhood can make use of it.

    SM25261st prize. V Competition Ctedra HispalytSquare, bus stop and caf project

    Santander. Spain / 2011

    with Jos Francisco Cars, Ignacio Cuena & Jess Utrillas

    Nowadays more than a square, the area of intervention could be consid-ered as a non-place. A fragmented, chaotic and lifeless space.Our intention was to reorder this area recovering the original vision of this space, reinterpreting and adapting to new needs.The plaza is located in a strategic loca-tion at the confluence of the main ac-cess arteries to the city. Moreover, it is the centre of the citys public transport (FEVE, RENFE and bus station).In the immediate surroundings of the square, there are two different scales: a bigger, the residental buildings one, and another smaller one, more suit-able to the intervention, the two sta-tions scale.

  • The project of the square, bus stop and the caf, will try to respond to traffic, trying to create a filter between the road and the square, while properly seeking to relate to the urban spaces that precede these buildings, trans-forming this formless continuum into a square reflecting the character of the place.Our intention was to condense the fa-cilities in a band that makes as a filter and contains both the caf and bus stop, or other uses that exist at present and we find interesting to maintain, such as the taxi stop, small parking zones and bike rental stations. In this way we get a clear space between the band and the stations, away from the traffic.Talking about the volumetric relation-

    ships, we wanted the piece to engage with the station using the height of the basement, the minor bodies and of the access canopy.The project involves some closed box-es, which host the service pieces and at the same time will organize served spaces, lighter and more flexible. These spaces are covered by a canopy that unifies the whole proposal. It looks like an adaptation of the horizontal shel-ter that Gutirrez Soto introduced to these stations in 1949, innova-tive at this time, if we compare them with predominantly classic vaulted ones.The proposal is based on the station, its modulation and rhythm to shape the entire program, from the treat-

    ment of the square to the caf and the bus stop, the parking area and even the urban furniture and the alignment of vegetation.In the southern part of the interven-tion, the canopy is gone, but concep-tually it retains the functionality and linearity of this strip, incorporating the rest of the program.

    According to the value of the sur-rounding landscape, the main idea of the project was to recover this place as a starting point for leisure, rest and cultural activities. On the other hand, taking into account the original use of the complex, recy-cling was another of the main ideas of the project. To recycle, to reuse, to re-order.

    Each and every proposed use tries to profit at most the existing structures. Giving new uses which could turn the place into a site of connection with the environment, at the same time allow-ing a flexible space for temporary ac-tivities.

    Making the most of the platforms as viewpoints, sport, leisure and rest areas. Using the slopes as stands, slides, connections among the platforms and green areas; the walls as green tapes-tries or climbing walls; the preexisting buildings as shading structures. Al-lowing the buildings to integrate with the landscape. Reforesting the arid ar-eas trying to cover the most degraded areas as well as creating shaded areas in the complex.
