How To Make Steel Dustpan

competition for the development of integrated multi-purpose spaces

COACV September 2004

first prize [Professional]

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.

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.

[bits of memory]


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.
