The renovation of the coverage is proposed by an sculptural element that at the same time covers the space in a flexible way, guarantees rearrangement possibilities (physical and economic) and improves spatial feeling ensuring full accessibility and highlighting the Church of San Anton. The proposal main objectives:
1-Recovery plaza space> Clarify / Expand.
2-Creating a cover element, powerful but neutral.
3-Creating a versatile space> 1 place, 3 places.

Architectural design and use plan approaches with multiple views: Territorial, with the implementation of uses of territorial range linked to the natural surroundings/ Municipal, as new gate to Chiclana open spaces and facilities as well as gate to the economic and sporting complementary activities to seasonal tourism/ Local, by developing the area with a new image and relationship with the sea, Pedestrianisation and differentiation of spaces of centrality. The Plan of uses committed to: 1. Enhance the cultural historical interest of the ancient Marine village by the recovery of assets, the morphological structure, profile, landscape and the implementation of cultural uses. 2. Incorporate related uses linked to the Natural Park of Cadiz Bay and its landscapes 3. Strengthen the location, touristic maturity, commercial activities, catering and leisure.

The program is organized in a single semi-closed volume that generates a private courtyard garden linked to the common uses of ground floor. On the upper floors, through a corridor organization that revolves according to natural lighting, typologies are positioned to ensure the best orientation of the main spaces of the house. Services and similar uses are grouped together to achieved homes with cross ventilation and with interior terraces that provide comfort and quality. A unique typology guarantees equity between users. Even being small 45sqm typologies, the existence of visual diagonals inside the house increases the sense of spaciousness.

The new furniture line is proposed with a simple and robust design, whith standardized geometries, joints and materials. The aesthetic and technical continuity between all the elements, minimizing the number of materials to three (chestnut wood, hemp rope and galvanized steel) and the choice of renewable natural materials are the premises of the project. The use of sustainable and recyclable materials characteristic of the area cultural heritage (chestnut construction and hemp in fishing gear) and ensurance of durability complements the design and enables optimum integration of all the pieces in the landscape of the Reserve. The proposal represents a saving of 78% KgCO2 emissions relative to an standard line of urban furniture, and photovoltaic streetlight option makes feasible its location in not eletrified areas .|Third prize

School of Architecture buiding, designed by the architect Lluís Nadal, needed to be upgraded to the current regulations of accessibility, security and fire. The greater complexity involves to separate the building in 4 fire areas without altering the main structure, circulations and current uses. The aim of the proposal is to adapt the building to the standards with minimal interventions, so that the existing structure retains the characteristics and the relationship between original parts. In this way, it has been possible to maintain the value of courtyards. Other actions also improve the safety of circulation corridors and transform the building into a fully accessible school.

Customer contact us after the purchase of a dark and fragmented home in a residential neighborhood. The renovation operation goes beyond the original request to renew interior finishing and seeks, through a minimal intervention modifying the way of inhabiting the house, bringing new circulations, enabling versatility in the limits of space and giving luminosity to all rooms.

The project organizes the area through the dialogue with its surrounding. Singularization of space is proposed by the configuration of three different areas: central square, city park and building (equipment + economic activity) that together structure pedestrian routes and provide functionality to the projected area. In contrast to the current situation ground continuity is taken as a basic element of urban space. Volumetry proposed consists of three pieces that allow differentiated approaches from the two facades and ensures that despite being a large building volume is displayed attentive to every of the peculiarities of the surrounding, also facilitating the management, development and flexibility of the futur use. The engagement with the city, and not the building, is the real protagonist.

The proposal seeks the recovery of the central area of the Arbúcies Riverside walk, next to the old town area. For this, existing spaces of centrality are reconsidered, a new fourth central space of reference is created and pedestrian routes within the town are reviewed. The project divides the river walk into three independent sections. On the first phase it is committed to create a square-walk that generates a complementary centrality in relation to the uses and activities in the old town area by adapting existing terraces. The adopted solution articulates the different spaces through ramps that allow a friendly and accessible walk from the Pietat to the centre. Associated to these, rest areas and play areas are created in a compatible manner with anthropogenic and natural dynamics of the Riverside.

The proposal suggests the extension of the city of Jaca thinking from a triple point of view: The city and its extension: the main aim is to extend the street, overcoming the topographical and urban cut between the historic center and the highlands of the new urban development . The city, the whole and its parts: the chains of different walks equipped with activities structures and organizes the new residential growth; one stair building is the link between the lowest point of the city and the new extension. The identity, structure and skin: against the dispersion that often causes low density, the proposal recovers value of urban street as a reference. The idea of typological cocktail allows building a social mix while prolonging activities that generate urbanity. Two elements provide the rules of construction of the city.

The building is located on the corner that had occupied the ancient clinic El Carme. Its variable geometry is the result of physical adaptation to the plot, ground floor is released for better adaptation to the surroundings, and higher plants are adapted and give value to the neighboring end walls. The project has three areas: The ground floor, the basement and the rest. The ground floor is considered the extension of public-street space, and allows temporary uses and distributes to the rest of plants. The basement is an extension of this program but used as an exhibition hall. The third major area is planned as Civic Center, with fixed activities but which may vary. At first plants are specialized by age, school, young, study, seniors and moderate physical activity, taking advantage of the terraces overlooking to the sea. | Photos © Lourdes Jansana



Saló Daurat renovation is undertaken to make on it the meetings of the Governing Council of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Antoni Tàpies painting is moved to this room and serves as a backdrop hiding with two large sliding doors back service corridor. The golden roof that gives name to the hall and large stones lamps are wrapped with a golden fabric, limiting the volume and making it more inviting to work in the circular table. The carpet follows the geometric design of the pavement scale. Tàpies painting is placed with a mirror socket to achieve a sense of continuity from the floor and feel it float on it. | Photos © Lourdes Jansana | FAD Opinion Award 2007

The proposal focuses on the relationship established between the various centers that have been manifested in the area over time, complemented by the speech always present between vertical and horizontal and between town and country. The strategy identifies three scales associated with the three types of project that will build this new center: 1. The district level that provides the infrastructure for accessibility and parking 2. Municipal level associated with the urban project for the construction of collective space and incorporation of new services and architectural typologies integrated into the landscape. 3. Site scale seeks thought the urbanization project a new image and the pedestrianisation of the linear urban space along the road. | Second prize.

The Alameda de Hercules, a space that had been relegated to parking of vehicles, is now put in value and regenerated as a great relationship public space. The proposal plants 360 new trees to accentuate the promenade between the two pairs of columns. The vehicular traffic is reduced to prioritize pedestrian use and terraces of the bars. The floor is cobbled, and a gently topography is created in order to emerge the columns that were left in a ditch. The gentle slopes improve vision of outdoor shows. The two existing kiosks are accompanied by others of the same kinship with new pergolas on concrete that allow temporary uses in the shade. Three new fonts are also added with water spray joints between white and blue tiles. | Photos © Lourdes Jansana

Rubí Master Plan review restructures the city based on the current assets and the incorporation of new ones. The basis of the new model are three. City model, qualify and diversify. Growth model: compacting the existing urban area, restructuring and increasing building density. Economic model: maintenance of industrial heritage and densification of existing built area. The plan includes proposals for intervention, transformation and reorganization of the existing urban space, called opportunity areas. Assembly all should be able to set up new future reference spaces for Ruby. Territorial and urban parks, the front of the Riera, Central Areas and Industrial Areas: four types are defined. | Provisional approval

Regional plan of La Palma Island is the instrument of management of natural, urban and regional resources of the island that defines the model of organization and use of territory to ensure its sustainable development. Sustainability is taken as a general premise for defining the territorial model based on the following principles: the Island as a reference unit, natural and environmental values as a resource, agriculture as reference for economic and social issues, local people as the protagonist, infrastructure as service and support to the economic activities, promoting public transport and equipment, network of urban centers and tourism as an option for the future. | Final Approval

Regional Plan of Alt Penedès is part of the Metropolitan Plan of Barcelona. The singularities of the region made it advisable to write this plan separately but in coordination to later be integrated. The aim of the Master Plan is to ensure the development of the territory in the most efficient and sustainable way, contributing by an overview criteria to combine growth expectations at different levels: human, industrial, urbanistic, infrastructure, etc, with the preservation of the environmental values of the region: natural areas, landscape of vineyards, biological corridors, etc. The structure of the territory is defined from three basic systems: the system of open spaces, the system of urban settlements and infrastructure system. | Final Approval

CCCB extension occupies part of the cloister of the House of Charity and the ancient theater designed by the architect Josep Goday. The project, while incorporating a new program, wants to evident the architecture of these two eras. To improve the connection with the current CCCB building a new physical connection-passage is constructed under the square as well as a large warehouse is attached. The ground floor lobby organizes access and connections to the passage and to other floors, the mezzanine floor with administration program and the main theater floor. At the entrance from the square volume built is delayed to leave a covered porch access. Arches on the facade to the square are filled up to reduce insolation and only some holes-fonts that identify the building as a whole entity of the Culture Center are left. | Photos © Lourdes Jansana

The building is designed with a new planning proposal. The difficulty of the site, attached to a gas station, makes the proposal to create their own public space within the site, with terraces on the community access, separating into two the volume built and allowing cross ventilation and lighting in each house. The proposed distribution arises maximum flexibility, there is a base cell to which is added a module that allows an individual home, study, two bedrooms, adapted housing, etc. As housing intended for rent, kitchens and toilets are standardized and great storage space is provided . From the point of view of construction, industrialized systems and precast concrete panels allow a quick and economic construction and thinking about the environment, also an easy deconstruction.

A stage and a few figurines for a comic opera, which should allow us to enjoy and make us laugh. The underlying theme is aging, the loss of the ability to control what happens to us, the disagreement between the force we have and what our body allows. An eternal problem, and nowadays pathetically visible in all mature men who are thrown at shirt and shorts to run down the street (trying not to be seen by anybody), in order to reassure Malatesta doctor, that has ensure us physical exercise is the key for us to achieve wellness. We do not want to upset him, just in case we were also put on a diet. A simple, traditional and conventional stage, for a performance in which the theater it is not only ike this but seems as proposed.
