In June 2000, a terrible accident left me incapacitated for more than four years—long periods marked by frustration and rehabilitation.

On September 11, 2001, confined to my bed, I witnessed a harrowing event that profoundly shaped me. I will always remember those devastating attacks and the image of those colossal structures collapsing under the terrorist assault. The Twin Towers—an architectural and engineering achievement—crumbled before the eyes of the entire world. Human barbarity claimed 2,977 lives.

When I began to draw—what for me was a therapeutic act—designs for large-scale buildings started to emerge, with a clear purpose: “to improve humanity.”

Over the course of a year, I developed ideas to use these architectural structures as vessels for activities with a specific purpose. These spaces would host individuals distinguished by their abilities, providing them with the resources and environment necessary to foster creative, scientific, cultural, technological, sporting, and human synergies.

The result is a collection of more than 50 drawings on laid paper, in a 45 × 35 cm format, created using a variety of drawing and illustration techniques.

Later, in 2019, this work materialized into the LIBERS_O2 project, supported, among others, by more than twenty municipalities forming the Mancomunidad Gótica de Valladolid. Despite the high regard in which the project was held by all the entities involved, it did not secure sufficient funding.

What remains now are the designs and ideas to develop these environments and to improve the way we live, work, and grow as human beings.

The project includes a Multicultural Center that serves as a meeting space designed to promote inclusion, cultural exchange, and access to art, also functioning as a Museum. Workshops, exhibitions, events, and social support services will be offered, facilitating the integration of diverse communities and improving their quality of life through culture.

On the rooftop, where the panels for domestic hot water heating are located, there is also a small astronomical observatory.

This smart, energy-efficient, and self-sufficient building reduces its consumption through LED lighting, advanced insulation, and renewable energy sources, aligning with European regulations for decarbonization.

The objective is to achieve “zero energy consumption.”

Smart design using thermal insulation and thermal mass: improving the building envelope to reduce energy losses.
Efficient lighting: maximizing the use of natural sunlight and implementing LED technology, which can reduce consumption by up to 70%.
Smart management and home automation: automated systems for heating and ventilation.
Heating water with solar energy is an ecological and sustainable method to provide domestic hot water.
Renewable energy sources: use of solar panels, wind turbines integrated into the architecture, and other clean energy sources.
Rainwater harvesting and properly treated wastewater are used for irrigating green spaces.

Symbolically, the building is flanked at its corners by towers topped with wind turbines, dedicated to the four highest peaks of Asturian geography. A vertical-axis wind turbine is also integrated as part of the architectural space.
