EN: The world we live in is clearly overdesigned.

The aim of dedesign is to explore the real necessities and limitations of the design praxis, if any. A design made by and for the 'non-designers'. An architect pretending to be a graphic designer pretending to be a video-editor and pretending to make a living out of it in Berlin.

And posting his results so far in the web.

If you have a project that could fit in this guidelines, or any comments, please share.

Gentlemen, let's dedesign.

DE: Wir wohnen in einer Welt, die deutlich überentworfen ist.

Das Ziel von dedesign ist, die realen Bedürfnisse und Grenzen der Design-Praxis zu erforschen. Ein Design, das für und von den 'nicht-designers' gemacht ist. Ein Architekt, der ein Grafiker zu sein behauptet, der ein Video-Editor zu sein behauptet, der seinen Lebensunterhalt damit zu verdienen behauptet.

Und er stellt seine bisherige Projekte ins Netz.

Wenn Du ein solches Projekt im Kopf hast, oder noch eine Meinung, bitte nimm Kontakt mit mir auf.

Meine Damen und Herren, let's dedesign.

ES: El mundo en el que vivimos está claramente sobrediseñado.

El objetivo de dedesign es explorar las necesidades y limitaciones reales de la praxis del diseño, si es que las hay. Un diseño hecho por y para los 'no diseñadores'. Un arquitecto que pretende ser un diseñador gráfico que pretende ser un montador de video que pretende vivir de ello en Berlin.

Y que cuelga sus trabajos hasta ahora en la web.

Si tienes proyectos que puedan encajar en estas premisas, o si tienes comentarios, por favor ponte en contacto.

Caballeros, vamos a dediseñar.

camp metropolità

Urban project to try to foresee and analyze the development that the Spanish high speed train (AVE) will bring when it builds a train station in La Secuita, Tarragona, a village of around 1 500 inhabitants between the rivaling cities of Tarragona and Reus. This station will serve as a local hub for a population of over 400 000. The project was developed together with Adrià Escolano at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB) with Jorge Perea and Carles Crosses.

baladona tetris

Final project for the Urbanism course (“Urbanística VI”) at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB) under the supervision of professors Manuel Bailo and Francesc Bacardit. The task proposed was converting the Badalona Sud industrial complex near Barcelona, Spain, to a residential area, imagining the existing industrial warehouses were to be dismantled.
The project proposed a general urban plan together with some housing typologies to “assemble” this new urban fabric, in the fashion of a Tetris game. The main two goals directing the project were the introduction of dwelling typologies with accessible roof terraces and the recuperation of a lost visual relation with the sea.

cooljas

“Cooljas” was the title of a booklet presented as a final project for the “Art and Architecture Theory” course (Composició III) in June 2007, under the supervision of Josep Maria Montaner at the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB). Project carried out together with Adrià Escolano, Xavier Pagès and Pavel Cueto.

The premise of the research project was to analyze the work of architect Rem Koolhaas by trying to emulate his work, thus creating a counterfeit copy, a knock-off brand: ‘Cooljas’. Before knowing his final project for a Congress Centre in Cordoba (Spain), diagrams and tentative plans were produced trying to anticipate some of his thoughts and overall intentions, while imitating his graphical and representational style. This process was used as an excuse to reflect on the relation between an architect’s theoretical discourse and his practice, the role of the iconic building and the legacy of the architectural star-system.

The publication mimicked the Spanish gossip magazine ¡Hola! and was completed with fake advertisement pages in which famous star architects appeared as part of marketing campaigns.

“Cooljas® is not exactly Koolhaas, but it is similar.
Nckia®, Sunny®, Buitton®, Kike®… The same way counterfeit Asian copies saturate luxury and technology markets in big global capitals, Cooljas® is a fake and self-interested copy of Koolhaas production. Through Koolhaas’ texts we have tried to re-construct his architecture, and concretely one of his most recent works: the Palacio del Sur in Córdoba. […]
In between all these conflicting interests, architectural and cultural production, search of recognition and urban renewal programs, which role does the theoretical discourse really take? Is there a real, unambiguous relation between a built work and the texts it inspires, or is it just a collection of warm-hearted intentions, distanced from reality? Can an architectonical discourse be materialized?”
