🌠 Three years ago! . COCA ’17 ‘MediActions’ First international Congress on Architectural Communication 17,18 & 19 May 2017 . The first International Congress on Architectural Communication ( @coca.17 ) was organized at the Master’s Degree in Architectural Communication ( @macaetsam ) of the Madrid School of Architecture ( @etsamadrid ), with the support of the Hypermedia Educational Research and Innovation Group and in collaboration with the Scuola di Dottorato in Architettura e Design of the Università degli Studi di Genova (ADD). In recent decades it seems that architecture has ceased to be exclusively a product of design and construction and has become a vehicle for social action. Communication and mediation are key in this process. Following this line of thought, COCA has been developed as a horizontal workshop between teachers and students in MACA’s Global Communication Project during the 2016-17 academic year. This is an international congress that seeks to create common spaces between multiple disciplines and social agents in order to investigate the function of mediation and communication in architecture. During three days, 120 congress participants and 25 guests from different disciplines were able to participate in this scenario of five sessions with thematic tables on pedagogy, instrumentation or citizenship that took place at the ETSAM, the COAM, Nuevos Ministerios and the streets of Madrid

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • POOLGREEN: renovation of a terrace in the Chamberí neighborhood • Depending on the position in the space in the terrace, the ribbon transforms and mutates: while at the party wall it widens to contain a planter that houses a wisteria to shade in the summer days, on the wall that overturns the street it either rises and serves to support flowerpots, or it becomes a bench to sit and watch the light changes in the sky of Madrid

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • POOLGREEN: renovation of a terrace in neighborhood of Chamberí. • photo @imagensubliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero). • The new fluid, continuous and permeable spatial situation of the house makes it easier for the terrace to be completed with the construction of a green backdrop visible both from the bed and from the sofa or the dining table. This continuous tape, as if it were a swimming pool, is built with a small square 10 x 10 exploded ceramic and pantone poolgreen, which seeks to recover the original 1930s language and aesthetics of the home

27/04/20

• During these days of confinement, the terraces have become places that not only connect us with the public space, but also in essential spaces for life that are filled every day with songs, applause and meetings; windows to the outside where we observe the city, its citizens and, the most privileged, the sunsets. We want to present our latest project: POOLGREEN the renovation of a terrace in the Chamberí neighborhood; An intervention that seeks to completely rearticulate the domestic space, from the access to the house to the adjoining rooms, starting from the definition of two actions that seek, on the one hand, to establish a plane of continuity between interior and exterior; and, on the other, to communicate the terrace with both spaces to get more light and, incidentally, the city of Madrid.

• During these days of confinement, we remembered a project in which we thought on domestic spaces through their objects. How many Ikea products are in our homes? What are they? How much do they cost? What area do they occupy? What is their life expectancy? BLOCK FACTORY: Inventory of IKEA objects in homes around the world graphically shows a first case study focusing on a 33-year-old single man living in a 60m2 space in the centre of Madrid and the objects he has in his house.

🚀Breaking news! We are very happy to launch the website of our studio, gon, designed by Pablo Santacana (@humo_estudio) and programmed by Roberto Mesejo (mese.es). Here you will find many of the projects we have done since 2005 until today. During these years we have been lucky enough to work with wonderful people from whom we have learned a lot (and continue to do so). Thanks to their dedication, energy and talent this site is a reality. Thanks to Carol Pierina (@carolpierina), Coti Cordero (@cotycordero), Laura Argüeso (@laurargest), Carlos Barranco (@tatuelas) and Álvaro Almazán (@aj_almazan), the magnificent architects who make up the team.

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • SEQUENCE HOUSE: Scenographies of living for a bachelor in Madrid. • @gonarchitects + Ana Torres photo @imagensubliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero). • The spaces shape a domestic scenic production that, on a continuous wooden floor, besides understanding and enhancing the dwelling as a living place, also allows the house to be explained as a succession of contemporary narratives that articulate the transversal and longitudinal routes, public and private, that can be constantly reconfigured according to the needs of Carlos, its owner, facilitating, against the exclusive domestic functionalism, the dream of living

19/03/20

• It is time to stay at home, but also it’s time to reinforce these virtual spaces as opportunities to share, inspire and communicate. That is why we are happy to present our latest project: ‘SEQUENCEHOUSE: scenographies of living for a bachelor in Madrid’, hoping to accompany you in your home stay with the spaces that we love.

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • SULA Dance and theater school in Las Tablas. Madrid. photo @imagensubliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero). • On the borderline between the countryside and the city, in a residual lot with triangular geometry resulting from poor urban planning, is SULA, a space for teaching, production and consumption of dance and theater for children and adults. Its facade, which is executed with three types of standard windows at different heights, relates the interior with the exterior in different ways, and seeks to be an element of mediation and urban connection that articulated the space of the city that runs between existing buildings and the school itself

04/02/20

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • SULA Dance and theater school in Las Tablas. Madrid. • Taking into account the state of the matter of contemporary practice in the field of dance and theater, where the conception of a ductile, elastic, malleable and mutable space is soughtabove all, the school is set as an experimental space, flexible, adaptable, soft and versatile,thanks to a curtain system that allows its transformation; these hanging structures, besides offering acustic isolation, they allow multiple configurations depending on the spatial needs that are demanded at all times (class, sample or rehearsal), and they also admittransformations that not only let the classicvoice and text be heard, but also the luminousand acoustic vibrations, dances, turns, gamesand gravitations without which the scenic spaceof today’s world wouldn´t be understood

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • SULA Dance and theater school in Las Tablas.

The artistic center is organised by programmatic bands from the major side of the triangle to the minor, where the storage space, the main room, the dressing room and the reception follow one another

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • La Sierra. Dental clinic in Villa de Vallecas @gonarchitects + Ana Torres. • From the cabinets, the interior once again becomes an exterior through the ceilings that recreate natural sceneries, leading the user, already lying down, to other more relaxed worlds while they are being treated. The route back to the street is, however, white. At night, the saw is lit, as if it were a lantern, leaving a colourful wake that illuminates the streets of Vallecas, making the clinic a place of reference

18/09/19

New project! 🎉🎉🎉 • La Sierra. Dental clinic in Villa de Vallecas @gonarchitects + Ana Torres • The main strategy of occupation of the premises is the construction of an interior street that pretends to be an extension of the square; a space that is both a waiting room and public space. Linked to this street is established, in the form of a saw, the most public program of the clinic: the toilet, the reception, the care office and the sterilization room. Next, and separated by the only load-bearing wall of the premises, the three intervention cabinets and the x-ray room follow one another. After this area, at the end of the premises, there is a small private space for the rest of the health personnel

Colorante E-124. • Years ago we won with Marta López Rubio the third price in the competition for the Pine Grove Park in Madrid. • We propose the construction of a pink blanket building. A singular and recognizable public space. A ”mattress of ideas”, an active mechanism, an open system. The idea is to build a city by providing Los Pinos park in Tetuán district something it doesn’t have: *shared spaces

• stoREDhome. Madrid. • The house was a watchtower with small windows, without natural light, compartmentalized and oriented to an interior courtyard. The decision making was clear: Empty the space by removing false ceilings and partitions, creating holes to the east towards the patio and the silence, to the west towards the city and people and in the ceiling to the blue and unique sky of Madrid; and crossing the space by a magnetic line that radiates redness and attracts all those objects capable of being perfectly stored. In other words, abandon the emptiness so that Andrés defines each space when he occupies it. The simplest solution is usually the correct one

16/01/19

. stoREDhome. Madrid. photo @imagensubliminal (Miguel de Guzmán + Rocío Romero) red storage @vonna_studio . The project is solved from the storage with the decision to build a standard red, bright and continuous furniture that articulates the whole house; an object of 14.50 meters in length, 0.60 meters wide and a volume of 22 27 m3 made from modules of kitchen cabinets that run through the house adapting to it like a glove

We conserve the existing hydraulic tile floor and place on it the element in which most of the budget is invested: a table. Beyond being a piece of furniture with legs like open books upside down, it is architecture; it has the ability to organize and articulate the space establishing the boundary between inside and outside, between the dependent and the client. In other words: the table acts as mediator of the place

Different sensations define the function of each area such as smell, touch and sight that are the fundamental elements of construction; in like manner it is made of the desire to produce and consume experiences that are to come, in solitude or with company: Such as, sitting by the fire in the fireplace in the winter, bathing in the pool with the windows open, reading on the terrace in the middle of the vegetation or seeing the stars on the roof on a warm summer night
