As I said that, when the architecture is raised in as a challenge, there is a possible solution.
colonization strategy of place on this occasion has been strongly influenced by topography. The reasonable access to the parcel is located approximately thirty feet above the altitude of the neighboring plots. On the other hand, was asked to define an ordering of the Open Space parcel, adjacent to the south. Produces, Thus, the need to reach that 'back city' that generates our project to be installed.
Through two large triangular terraces sloping descent to the elevation of the Open Space parcel. The first part is empty underground car park on the street lined Pajares, also receives the base of the tower and pedestrian access from that street. The second patch, to be more depressed and sloping, connected with the plot of free and gives continuity. Above it reserves a playground, sports, and the rest is complemented by a Mediterranean forest plantation, thereby connecting the two existing tree stands now the area.

Three decisions have structured decisions approach to this design competition:
- The solar DIN format. From a 'DIN' from 59.40 mx 84.00 m results in a required area of \u200b\u200b5000 m2 solar
- basic criteria: to separate and organize the program depending on the degree of user accessibility. The ground floor houses the day care centers whose potential users have some degree of disability or simply driving some difficulty, in the air plants are located by residential and day care centers whose users have no mobility problems.
- Control energy and sustainability criteria. Ecological impact. Covered Patios

garden. Hygrothermal control weak. Ventilation and air conditioning techniques based mainly natural or low technology (low environmental impact);
renewable energy (solar energy)
Materials used;
construction systems. Demountability and recovery of components;
sustainable natural resource management and urban. Rate ecological balance or environmental.

project
(Ad Marginem. Paul Klee)
In the absence of urban conditions, the project strategy has been to create them. The assembly takes place within its boundaries grow from outside to inside, scoring precise boundaries between nothing and place, urban, and urban in this case is what comes of having 'defined'. At other times, usually, the urban is out. Therefore, this statement is a good opportunity to reflect on the idea of \u200b\u200bthe city.
The proposal is organized with two overlapping layers and from two conventional concepts (the courtyard and the square).
The first of the layers is developed on the ground and creates a place accessible, depressed 80 cm on the ground level to which they give access to all care centers or day centers located on ground floor. On the ground floor are located, thus the older Center Day Care service, the Center Disability Occupational Mild or moderate, CRIS (Centre for rehabilitation and social integration) and the Day Centre for Handicapped severely affected. These centers are organized by a longitudinal movement scheduled a series of courtyards cross, so that there is no main room that is not next to one of the courtyards.
and depressed as a consequence of the access floor, your deck is closer to the ground, proposing it as a roof garden as part of urban public space that anyone can access.
The second layer is air and has two levels. We raised him from outside intervention, through quad-core communication. It is the Day Centre convivial and educational support, the Center for day labor and social inclusion for children, all living spaces and a raised garden terrace and playground, functionally linked to the two mentioned sites.
The first of these levels is the main structure of the stratum, using high beams Vierendel song. This structure and distribution of certain courts are organized by space and residential type. The second level rests on the first with a conventional structure of metal supports and become less 'dense', allowing private patios in some residential rates. The circulation at this level are open streets, where it rains and the sun shines, also, the streets of distribution of the first level are not fenestrated into the courtyards. Moreover, there is also the need to provide housing for 'extras' in public spaces, storage rooms, covered bicycle parking, local meetings, work-study cubicle. Each type residential
is developed in the drawings, and combining these spatial types with programs or different needs.
Finally, the roofs of these houses are used to capture solar energy through panels convencionales.Y between the two strata, air: a proposal of urban space in the middle of nowhere.

What Happens During Sorority Initiation?

third prize


considerations that may be in the first instance on how to put the building on the site revolve around two very specific facts:
First, the dominant residential use in the area regarding the use of office which requires the program needs new building gives the complex and ambivalent character of strangeness and seasonality, typical of the newcomers to place.
On the other hand, the existing volumetric analysis offers little face light the draft resolution because:
- at one point are now building a ground floor and one floor plus four, plus two low. All with different configurations volumetric mainly as a result of their different origin;
- Zoning Regulations implementing the crystal leaves resolution of any discussion regarding the volumes as long as regulatory fixed height (8.00 m), the number of plants ( II) and the buildability (2.00 m2/m2).
However, all who wanted to submit a proposal according to the dignity of the use, marking a representative character. We have included all these variables, in principle adverse in the formulation of a contemporary building quietly able to assume their status as "foreigner", offering instead that personality and letting the time just put it in the course of their situation acontecimientos.Por Sants street in the Pedra the south facade of the building is situated at the end of a woodland walk which lies very close to the facade, access to residential property. We propose a specific amendment to the final landscaping of the tree-lined avenue in order to improve the accessibility of residential property with dignity finish solving the meeting point between the Head of the Delegation of the Safor and the aforementioned ride.




The study of the needs of the Head of the Delegation requires, by its representative character and, in some ways, exemplary, consider, beyond of regulatory requirements and program all around a building project, issues that directly affect the "quality" of the project.
Those questions have to do with the quality of daily living (comfort understood as the proper determination of hygrothermal control, ergonomics applied to a concrete program of natural accessibility for all users), with an economic use of resources, natural and urban, with a sensible response to the environment.
Hence the goal in the successive developments of this Blueprint is:
1. Achieving a sustainable way of building based on:
- materials used;
- building systems. Demountability and recovery of components;
- Hygrothermal control weak. Ventilation and air conditioning techniques based mainly natural or low technology (low environmental impact);
- sustainable management of natural resources and urban. Rate ecological balance or environmental.
2. End of concrete with its material resources and aspects taken into account at this stage of project's overall ergonomics and accessibility:
- Completion of paving,
- signage, design and / or choice of furniture adapted.

science and thought Heidegger, whom Felix de Azua in their classes in Aesthetics School Barcelona is referred to as the thinker of the century, distinguished between the mechanisms of modern science and of thought as two conflicting ways of doing things, as two separate sites for "an abyss over which he can build a bridge." Science tries to show, run by a logical line, which requires all the elements involved actively or passively on the show to have a sense of objective and logically referenced to the same show, any added argument that does not participate or reinforce that line of logic is misplaced. According to Heidegger, science does not think "Do not think because, as the modus operandi and the means by which it can not ever think, think, according to the mode of thinkers. The fact that science can not thinking is not a lack but an advantage. This advantage assures science the opportunity to get into every area of \u200b\u200bobjects according to how research and settle in it. " The other side of the bridge, to the side of thinking, not just the other side, but a region completely different objects which show never left. Before them we have only the act of pointing, and this point, according to Heidegger, is "a fundamental trait of thinking, the way to what has always and forever, man sobering." In this region inhabited by philosophers think all modern writer, and in general, anyone messed with intensity in the process of creating the form.
In a more or less intentional, and in any case is what finally it, like it or not, as a result of the act of pointing, the role of this is the proposition of a speech or thought, from that time is left to their fate. What comes after thinking this is a new thinking, once encryption is to decipher, always and forever.
In my opinion, the thought of architecture is not essentially (primarily) a process of scientific analysis to find a conciliatory solution optimized and all the stress. It is true that for "construction" (even for intellectual construction) must turn to the results of scientific and technical knowledge as it is by building them as the protagonist. But that is only the instrumental aspect. This construction process has to do with the technological aspect, and non-technical subject area. We live in a context increasingly "mediated" whose supplies have reached a level of sophistication, or whatever it is, loss of naturalness (for which I do not think it worthwhile to stress), which sometimes makes it difficult to recognize the natural sense of thought. And this way of thinking, natural and intransitive, is embodied in the act of stating, display. There is nothing beyond that act, which gives birth to what is shown. The way how it has come to this lack of interest. All that matters on this side of the bridge is the life that lies ahead, all questions raised and the roads open as a result of that first and impossible to reason that in any case, just saying, sterile. The specificity of thought
architecture is elsewhere, on the other side. Scientific analysis is reserved for modern science. From a scientific attitude in relation to architecture as that of G. Grassi, and a Jujol Miralles or take two outstanding end of the joy of building, committed to state, leaving their fate results with the confidence that their presence is valid, an abyss, the gap, writes Heidegger, between science and thinking.
The context in which they operate these reflections is the thought of architecture.

site
I have a tendency to think that all human takes an organic relationship with their location and part of the success or failure of an architectural intervention has to do with the nature of this relationship. Sometimes a nondescript building and even vulgar, like much of which overlook or settle in the sand of any coastline, makes us experiencing the site with an intensity (the example taken for this subject is almost demagogic because the coast the boundary between land and sea, does not require the hand to become rather, as in all parts of geography that were or are the beginning of an enclave and that the same geographical science always has a name, like the first sign that appropriates, intellectual and human, prior to the physical appropriation whose intention also intellectual, is to affirm the quality of that site as the most appropriate to at least make a stop on the way) that has less to do with the physical qualities of this construction but in the first instance, with itself site. And yet, despite the banality of construction, we come to it because there is always something of the site that has permeated, or so we think. Sometimes construction itself becomes something to the extent that distance initially inhospitable environment, by collecting into the full capacity to build world, unable to compete with a really hostile and indifferent to any attempt of civilization, extending well , creating around something like a force field, a covered porch where be (sorry can not explain it otherwise) and as a result of the civilizing capacity, characteristic of any appliance, have humanized what until then was only a desert floodplain.
say that the problem I have encountered fall into this second class.

The other closed the door behind him. They sat with the rest of the squad. Both arrived that morning to Brussels to tell, as every month. Close and twelve years of work, attempts, rejections and small successes that separated them from other afternoon Valencia when the three opened the envelope with the bases. Her because of her illness, had to leave for some time. There are feelings that are sometimes a blessing and something that others should be cured.
That's how long tedious meeting began but unpredictable. The other broke the ice as he tried to clear with the drawings and other documentation prepared for that congregation of masks, as they used to call in his study of Cabanyal. From the bottom of the table, someone intervened.
"Good afternoon. Since we all would like to introduce you to my right, the new representative of the cabinet of marine engineers who, I know, is aware of the findings of the last meeting.
"Well, if that's true," said the other, still watching him, wondering what importance could be the fact that fund for that individual who, on the other hand, had not ever seen it is satisfied, we are able to discuss, as we had thought, an alternative to modular construction dry dock and then drag and offshore assembly. We could cut costs by building offshore work platform on which to place the production and assembly sequence. The second item on the agenda is to see to what extent this affects the installation of the magnetic field generator, we assume that at all, the end of the first ring until the bottom is not fully assembled physicists at CERN did not come into action but we would like to know how they feel about their representatives.
Over time I had grasped the jargon distant universe and precise techniques. Unfolded easily, not like making the call on the instrument perfect to name the device, the invention of laboratory, which is not yet. As at the dinner, when mounted fungisípido word because he needed to refer to some flavor of wine and did not know how. Every time I flew to Brussels got into those latex gloves prepared for any contingency. Instead he was stripped of all powers of persuasion on technology issues.
had finished sorting the pictures and watched as he concluded his partner perhaps with exaggerated care. As if we were telling was new for him too. Suddenly the feeling was that he had. As I looked at his companion seemed to conclude, and so was speaking from another project, another program to another computer. I watched with curiosity, trying to recognize. Something was activated. Suddenly, his mind, his subconscious, whatever, had played a trick on pulling more than ten years ago. But I could not get surprised. I had almost forgotten the project submitted to the contest, but it came, close now. A table. Construction on two levels, soaked courtyards, anchored to the mainland in an eighth of his two hundred meters long and the rest, like a pier, with the ocean. Real would put the House at the opposite end to the coast, to bow before an esplanade for receptions outdoors. The entrance to the Palace would give both the mainland and from the sea. The small fleet of the Royal Family would be tied to it in order to Sunday excursions. Do not remember much more, but it was enough to make you feel how much he had changed everything, surprise. Some agile
door knocks him out of that state. The secretary will announce in a tone of apology, the unexpected presence of the Commission of the European Parliament in Strasbourg for monitoring. That meant only one thing. The normal procedure was that had enabled the architects a conference open to the Commission every three months to keep them abreast of developments Odin Project. If you were there that evening is as they are not alone. Following the announcement of the demise of the secretary, and after a moment of silence secretariat door opened a chaotic runaway arrhythmia questions, sweeps of outbreaks and responses declaimed flawlessly. Abuse, recovery position and slow progress of the amalgamation sewn by wiring to the door of the meeting room. Was again the secretary who, as a gate opened for the group. Took up positions around the table, waiting, as well as the gathering and showing a total lack of discretion, filming everything and everyone. The President of the Commission came last. Grip hand, well-concealed smile dissatisfied and questioning the situation. In response, the President of the Commission submitted a brief to the team giving him the floor. Somehow I had to thank the president as an attack on other grounds, inappropriate because only in this way, only making the effort to expose the project to the media, to have the appointment, he could do his back.
began explaining that although the building originally was intended for a hypothetical king of Europe, the force of events and political circumstances of the continent a decade ago recondujeron the project. That higher institutions of European government saw it as an opportunity centralize in a single building all their space needs. That, as proposed, but alter the initial idea, they were committed to studying itinerant construction, depending on various factors, could be in one part or another thereby preventing the targeting of political power of a vast territory. And that this new building would be connected symbolically, through its formal settings, with that original idea regency of a single state, the monarchy itself. Odin Project, the Crown, meet the European Parliament, the High Court of Justice, the executive and all its ministries and other institutions Community. He spoke of the recent exponential progress in building science that allowed them to draw on the new ultra-light structural materials. From the invaluable collaboration of CERN project by providing knowledge about gravitational fields and magnetic fields to keep geostationary Crown. Of energy self-reliance. And some things about it. And while his companion listened briefly describe the operation of the satellite city, with its lower crown three technical standards designed primarily to house the antigravity field generator system, the ten main levels for the bulk of the program and for the area permanent civil service residential and housing access for regular traffic fleet of helicopters and outdoor recreation with cafes, shops, gyms and playgrounds, while listening to him feel again. In the middle of that chaotic terrain and felt more improvisational than before, in the privacy of the monthly meeting, that the estrangement was something physical that hermetically sealed stirred for peace of mind, long ago. That feeling was not just about the task. Moreover, thanks to the work had so far failed to lead the state away from the containers. But your subconscious found unexpectedly a shortcut. And they are there again.

Only she, who, shopping, had just arrived at that point home after a long walk through corridors and hallways of a supermarket, would have understood. He dropped the bags and opened a coke on the balcony.

The story that we have not taken place, however, important to know who has spent long time since then. On the other hand, is the story of a reunion.
Years ago, in a remote town in a remote country called for a competition for architects. How to build a simulation, how to build with something that is not. There were a few "winners" and a publication that summarized. But this is not the story. The story that we have belongs to the world of desire. Occurred, certainly, but has not taken place.
long time that they knew nothing of each other. One Saturday morning, over breakfast, found in the central pages of the newspaper in an article summarizing the inauguration of the Foundation M. R. vd In Barcelona. It was not difficult to locate on the same day at your hotel. Knew, or at least, I wanted to believe, to prolong their stay in this city that so many places of the two contained. Places, I'll never no architect can build. Are places in memory, from space, no matter what or how they are. Therefore, their places were a few mornings of Barceloneta, La Boqueria Market and the yard of limes and poplars to giving his apartment in the Raval. But so were the third step of the door of the Cathedral, the platforms of the Sants station and the curb on the Jerusalem street, the fine line a few nights of laughter led them paradise. No surprise, the phone conversation was brief. It was him see her again.
next day took the first train to Barcelona (one of his nervous tics remained his total aversion to cars, to carry cars, too much metal and oil changes for a single person, he said) They spent that whole afternoon. Little to say. As two brothers who have known forever, in an irrational and constant at the same time all is said. She then spoke of the Foundation.
Poetry is a string of metaphors. A large chain of metaphors where they fall on alien worlds together. A contact occurring elsewhere something different, something new that keeps part, perhaps the darkest of those two places. Darkness born of those two, however, light, a new light. This is how she focused on all occasions the problems of architecture. Shadows shadows, spent more last light today. Always has been, on the other. Hence also his infinite modesty. Never thought I would bring anything to the "design process", they say. Time and memory. Let things happen and then be patient, because these buildings do not correspond to you yet. So when someone asked about the validity of their proposals, for his "contribution-to-debate-architecture-contemporary shrugged and said, I just work, I can not in all, in addition, the contemporary architectural debate, for contemporary, always happens and we usually build things that "are" what can we do about it? Work, I suppose, and sunbathing when we can.
"I invite you to lunch at the Foundation.
He only knew the building the image of yesterday's newspaper. It was a photograph left in the center of the composition of the large hole, taking a wide visual field. It seemed at that moment the image of a lost civilization; not decadent or come down, but lost, difficult to locate in time, ageless.
entered. She was confined to guide you through the building. Sometimes they stopped and looked at some point in any direction marking another point, he obeyed. Further, she asked for the convenience of the stairs and look over some areas. That was how they finally reached the bottom of the excavation, where he placed the cafeteria.
- You know that right now we are at sea level? Well, that's what I say out there, in fact we are three feet below, but I like to think that is right here, at the foot of a Mies building where you can find the complete line is many things same time, balance, reference, horizontal, stable, faithful and constant phenomenon at a time, place of contact and distance, time zero.
From here, followed by talking about how to continue a historic building with a new intervention, how to reinstall it in the course of events, how to bring the present, how to reset an absence. For her, in this case, the word respect (which, referring to things of the past, seeks a rigid perception of them) was an obstacle, a chain that prevented him from working here and now. But this is less important.
Since then, the old language of the eyes and the poet began activated understand that the skyline was not only to the Foundation. Your here and now was much more than a methodology. Its here and now enveloping and involving them there and then and thought for a moment of silence that stage full of water, that great love trap was built for another reason. "He'll

"Let's go.
The evening began to scrape the tops of the trees up there. While picking up, stared at the reflection in the water of those copas.Aparentemente only have this and yet only here and only with this we are closer than those of past above the horizon, he thought, accepting that afternoon.
