Macarena Chaves Martinez <\/strong><\/a>joined the\u00a0Architect-US<\/a>Job+J1 Visa Program<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0more recently and has been working towards getting an opportunity to work in the USA again. For the Portfolio Challenge,\u00a0<\/strong>she\u00a0submitted StartMad<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>A project that she worked on while in\u00a0Madrid<\/strong>, which seeks to provide designs for a northern section of the city known for its financial district and tall towers. This area of\u00a0Madrid<\/strong> has many start-up companies that require a different style of office space that promotes more interconnection and communication.<\/p>\n

StartMad<\/strong> seeks to fuse the two main needs in this area of\u00a0Madrid,\u00a0<\/strong>office space and residential buildings. Thus, the project is designed as a neighborhood that infuses these two needs, and the atrium and the social connectors allow for people to find each other in different settings for different needs.<\/p>\n
