La revista ENBLANCO tiene como objetivo principal la difusión de las innovaciones más destacadas en el campo de la arquitectura realizada con hormigón visto, blanco o coloreado. Fundada en el año 2008, es una iniciativa del Departamento de Proyectos Arquitectónicos de la E.T.S. de Arquitectura de Valencia a través de la Cátedra Blanca de Valencia.

En ENBLANCO se desarrolla una actividad de investigación y divulgación de obras arquitectónicas donde el hormigón visto tiene un papel protagonista. A su vez, también tienen cabida artículos teóricos donde reflexionar sobre el proyecto arquitectónico y urbano desde su vertiente técnica, energética y material hasta su perspectiva teórica, histórica y gráfica.

La revista cumple con los requisitos formales y conceptuales que le permitan el reconocimiento como publicación científica. Para ello se sigue una política editorial rigurosa, tanto en la selección de las obras y artículos como en la periodicidad y campo lingüístico. La publicación está dirigida a todos los investigadores relacionados con la arquitectura y el urbanismo. La selección de artículos se realiza mediante un sistema de arbitraje, siguiendo los protocolos habituales para publicaciones científicas seriadas.

Antídotos contra la obsolescencia: ¿Densificación o vacío? Actitudes para la renovación urbana
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) Durán Fernández, José; Hidalgo Núñez, Álvaro; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] The constant growth of cities, since their creation have been followed by lethargy, and finally shrink until they reach decline. The 20th century has been an urban period in which many of the planet's old cities have stabilized becoming almost frozen, and then underwent a period of repair and renewal. This text will present different project attitudes towards the obsolescence of some large cities; Whether through densification or emptiness, the urban antidotes turn out to be disparate, but in all cases one strategy or another is used, or both at the same time. Caracas is a model city for young informal megalopolises or super-city, by managing to construct an aerial tramway with new equipped cable car stations distributed throughout the extensive and compact urban mass. Tokyo resorts to surgery in the form of new street openings and small parks to face a seismic disaster, and little by little build a safe city. On the hyper-dense Manhattan Island, urban operations of selective demolition and insertion of new architectures and new urban spaces have taken place. In Amsterdam, activities are intensifying with architectures close to the railway stations to benefit from their connectivity. Paris resorts to building extension. While Berlin had to fill the gaps of the war. And the ex Novo city of Chandigarh is trying to renew and connect Le Corbusier's super-blocks, while Barcelona is recovering the genius loci of the expansion projected by Ildefonso Cerdá. All these cases, due to densification or emptiness, show us successful strategies to adapt and extend the life of our cities.
La Arquitectura de las Universidades
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-10-28) Domingo Calabuig, Débora; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[EN] Fifty years have passed since pedagogy, sociology, urban planning and architecture converged in the same intense debate: that of learning spaces in higher education. The large-scale arrival of students at universities in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly in Europe but also in other parts of the world, led to the adoption of policies on teaching models, campus planning and the space that should support learning. The most important architectural magazines of the time described the quest to respond to a social demand with the speed required by the expectations of rapid growth. Today, the university landscape looks very different. Not only have learning spaces been profoundly transformed by new technologies, but institutions are also competing for visibility in a scenario of international competition. Universities are now subject to market rules that shape their policies: brilliant scientific production, fruitful relations with industry, proven knowledge transfer to society, and an attractive range of degrees with promises of high employability, are the factors that build a brand image that is increasingly displaced by an emerging online activity. This special issue of [EN BLANCO. Revista de Arquitectura] brings together five recent productions that illustrate the evolution of the questions posed half a century ago with new answers that continue to fuel our reflections.
La arquitectura es inevitable
(2023-04-28) Alvarez Isidro, Eva María; Gómez Alfonso, Carlos José; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] The work of Jaque and Office for Political Innovation is much broader than what this issue of this journal [En Blanco. Journal of Architecture] shows. It is not the aim to make a detailed review of it because it would be very extensive: there are many projects by this group that have produced not only new objects but, above all, new theories, new disquisitions, always through the questioning of the project. However, and given the focus of this journal on concrete, it is interesting to observe, in Jaque's journey through material culture, how for him and his collaborators, materials are not suitable or unsuitable in themselves. For them, materials are thought of as possible or not, depending on their characteristics and context, in a much broader and more credible frame of reference, making room for constructions in which concrete abounds.
El bloque residencial de la colonia obrera Lucas Urquijo
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-04-29) Salvador Luján, Nuria; Lizondo Sevilla, Laura; Bosch Reig, Ignacio; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] The paper presents the contribution promoted by Hidroeléctrica Esapñola S.A. in the field of Spanish collective housing in the first half of the twentieth century. Specifically, it studies the solutions developed in the working colonies which this company built along the Júcar river system in the Castilla-La Mancha community, highlighting among them the linear block of flats with exterior corridor access, named Lucas Urquijo. The aim here is to value this unknown fragment of Spanish architecture.
Bloques normales
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-09-29) Castellanos Gómez, Raúl; Domingo Calabuig, Débora; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Proyecto Arquitectura
[EN] The concrete block fi rst saw the light of day around the middle of the nineteenth century, when it began to be produced both in Great Britain and the United States. Although the fi rst patents for solid blocks date back to the beginnings of this century, the fi rst hollow blocks did not appear until 1850, when they began to be produced by Englishman Joseph Gibbs.1 Other patents followed in quick succession, mostly involving isolated experiments that never became standardised or entered into mass production. The evolution of this new material did not really take off until the arrival of other technologies such as Portland cement at the turn of the century.
Colegio infantil "Can feliç" en Benicasim. Castellón. España

El complejo tránsito al Postestructuralismo
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018-10-29) Barrera Puigdollers, José Manuel; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] Since the 1970s we have seen a predominance of processes, cognitive aps, that creatively housed the “subjects of the discipline”. The new citizen is currently being described as the contemporary “subject of profitability”. This means that the conditions that motivated the transition from structuralism to poststructuralism have already been surpassed, and we have not even appreciated it. This speed forces us to review its background. We will take industrial architecture as a reference, as it is the most restrictive. We would like to highlight the following structure: the evolution of industrial architecture up to process architecture; the implementation of the two sides of critical theory, general and radical or postmetaphysical, that with similar objectives lead to different results; revision of the standard topologies for articulating solutions, that principally group them both without nuances; and exemplification in industrial works of these nuances. Debates that present two common background questions: firstly, the superseding of the antinomies that present and report these industrial systems, especially the subject-object antinomy, through the otherness and, secondly, construction, with these industry rules, of an open work; that on one hand leads to dialectic hermeneutics and on the other to difference and difference, which enables us to understand the proje ore” and, consequently, surpass the condition of “open work”.
Del ladrillo al hormigón en la obra de Rogelio Salmona
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-09-20) Lozano Velasco, José María; Lozano Portillo, Ana; Montoya Arenas, Catalina; Ruiz Taroncher, Aída; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[EN] The work built by Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona remains bound in contemporary architectural culture, to the very tectonic and even virtuoso use of brick. His roots and European training and the influence of Le Corbusier, with whom he worked, collaborating closely, are always present in his organizational and spatial design. The exposed concrete, a base material in the final formalization of his buildings, was adopting an increasingly less subsidiary role until it became the focus of one of his latest creations. El central cultural Gabriel García Márquez represents a turning point that is reviewed herein, relating it to his background and his theoretical and conceptual approaches.
Entrevista Marc Barani
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-05-11) Mas Llorens, Vicente; Domingo Calabuig, Débora; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[ES] P: Nos gustaría empezar esta entrevista recordando la primera visita de Marc Barani a la Escuela de Arquitectura de Valencia, en el año 2007, cuando participó en las Jornadas “Materia y Forma” de la Cátedra Blanca. Fue entonces cuando nos presentó su proyecto para el tranvía de Niza, todavía no finalizado, que fue merecedor del premio “Equerre d’Argent” en 2008. El proyecto, ahora acabado, es reconocido por sus múltiples virtudes en la prensa especializada......
La estructura temporal en la obra de Enric Miralles
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2020-10-29) Barrera Puigdollers, José Manuel; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[ES] La arquitectura de Enric Miralles ha sido analizada, principalmente, desde su proceso de dibujo, su método de trabajo, su dimensión de hipertexto y su secuencia imaginaria. Incluso, es posible que, en algunos trabajos, exista cierta indagación psicoanalítica, dado que en sus textos enlazan imaginario, fantasías o fantasmas. Sin embargo, el tiempo constituye la reflexión que integran todas estas variables y pocas investigaciones se han centrado en la compleja relación de su estructura conceptual y su estructura teórica discutidas paralelamente. Esta relación fue trabajada por Miralles en su tesis doctoral y experimentada a partir de la lectura de Michael Foucault, Gilles Deleuze y George Kubler. Todo ello sucedió en un difícil escenario para la historia de nuestra disciplina, momento en el que se afianzaban las teorías deconstructivistas con escaso rigor; marasmo del que Miralles pretendió alejarse a través de la prospección plástica extraída de Jordi Pericot, Georges Perec o David Hockney. Asumiendo la síntesis que afirma que el arquitecto empleaba el tiempo como materia de proyecto, este artículo realiza una investigación de su razón constitutiva. Así, siguiendo sus reflexiones de la mano de las estructuras teóricas y estéticas referidas, se reconstruye arqueológicamente las distintas dimensiones del tiempo experimentado por Miralles, identificado desde las heterotopía, los dispositivos temporales; analizando su pretensión de conformar máquinas transformadoras desde el imaginario evocado como germen productor de satisfacción, se comprobará la necesaria solidez conceptual que su arquitectura propone.

Hic et ubique terrarum. La arquitectura radical de la universidad italiana de los setenta
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-10-28) Castellanos Gómez, Raúl; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Proyecto Arquitectura
[EN] Since the Middle Ages, European universities have woven a network of exchanges with the city as their setting and the first university cities as the destination of students' pilgrimages. The inherent ubiquity of the model was soon compromised by the progressive autonomy of the university, which gradually became an entity isolated from its urban context. The Anglo-Saxon campus became the paradigm of this isolation, a symbol of class differentiation. With the gradual evolution from universities only for the elites to universities for the masses in the post-World War II period, the democratic institutions were committed to opening up higher education to society as a whole. The exponential growth of the student population made it necessary to multiply public initiatives for the construction of new universities. This article analyses the case of the new Italian universities of the 1970s, which sought to restore the lost relationship between university and city, and to recreate the original ubiquity of the former through a diffuse network of facilities and services which, together with transport and information networks, aimed to structure the territory and guarantee the universal dissemination of knowledge.
El hormigón coloreado como integrador paisajístico de la arquitectura del vino
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-12-18) Salvador Luján, Nuria; Lizondo Sevilla, Laura; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] In recent decades, a strong link has been established between architecture and wine. The location of these buildings amid the vines makes its integration in the landscape an exercise of the utmost importance. It is a quest to establish a dialogue between artifacts and environment, where the use of coloured concrete is one of the resources that performs the best. This artifi cial stone, the concrete, gives architecture a more natural look, more stereotomic, capable of conveying a sense of belonging to the place. This article will address these issues through three Spanish wineries.
Marek Leykam. Expresión formal de valores identitarios
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2016-05-02) Requena Crespo, Francisco; Barrera Puigdollers, José Manuel; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] : The Polish architect Marek Leykam interpreted the new reality of Poland after World War II facing the loss of identity and the uprooting of the surviving population through the communitarian coexistence and the concept of human being, with a theoretical and practical work that appealed to the collective consciousness to recover democratic values against the hegemony of irrationalism. His concern to establish an open frame to be interpreted and to find meaning after the conscious interaction of users, contemporised his work into a firm position against totalitarian domination approaches that were taking place in Poland both in the artistic and social sphere, resulting in an architecture that, far from utopia, did not claim to be revolutionary but steadied a resistance on the foundations of a stable society that was recovering the faith in communal living by repeating processes and patterns, away from subjective manifestations of individual power
Messiness, Render Society Represented, Performance, Awareness: el vocabulario de Andrés Jaque
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-04-28) Jaque, Andrés; Alvarez Isidro, Eva María; Gómez Alfonso, Carlos José; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] Throughout more than two hours of online conversation between New York and Valencia, Andrés Jaque, with all his patience and kindness, unravels words, concepts and works of architecture in such a way that everything forms a kind of fabric, from which it is difficult to move a thread without altering the whole. These threads, in reality words, sometimes in English, sometimes adapted to Spanish, seek to delve deeper into apparently emerging questions but that are still somewhat difficult to conceptualize. The conversation began directly by asking him about the current questioning of concrete as a sustainable material and ended by talking about the need for architecture to make visible society, the people who constitute it, as it is and as they are, and all living and non-living beings.
Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Conversaciones alrededor de la arquitectura: memoria, deseo y experiencia
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-09-06) Azulay Tapiero, Marilda; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Investigación en Arte y Arquitectura Contemporánea
[EN] Paulo Mendes da Rocha defined architecture as ”the moment, the convenience, the urges, the desires, the needs, the technique, solving problems” and reflected that the future is always a rebuilding of the past. “Architecture, based on human desires, should be convenient”, he says.This article is about his architecture, work where memory, desire and experience meet for the future. In fact, the Gymnasium for the Paulista Athletic Club (1958) advances some of the main features of the architecture built in São Paulo during the following decades.
Pekka Pitkänen. Capilla de la Santa Cruz. Turku, 1967
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-04-18) Castellanos Gómez, Raúl; Domingo Calabuig, Débora; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Grupo de Proyecto Arquitectura
[EN] The analysis of the Chapel of the Holy Cross (1967) of Pekka Pitkänen in the Turku(Finland) cemetery shows the affi nity between a set of contemporary religious building, geographical proximity, and built with the material of the moment: reinforced concrete. The churches of Viljo Revell or Aarno Ruusuvuori integrate a family of projects among which the work of Pitkänen demands an important place while the comparison with the nearby Chapel of the Resurrection (1941) by Erik Bryggman contributes to revealing the evolution of Finnish sacred architecture between its two most paradigmatic cases.
Regreso a la montaña. Hacia una nueva identidad del paisaje
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2017-10-25) Rivera Linares, Javier; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[EN] The factors that define the identity of the landscape are broad, varied and variable, but there is no doubt that topography has played an important role in its configuration. Due to its strong physical presence, its strategic and political role or its long-standing mystical and religious conditioning that human beings have been giving it throughout history, the mountain has marked the relationship of the inhabitants with their different mountainous habitats. However, in the present global era, the identity of place is increasingly diluted and the landscapes are homogenized in excess, overlapping with the intrinsic topographic characteristics that confer them quality. The present article, through an inspection of the topographic factor in the development of landscape identity and exemplified by a series of current landscape architecture designs, aims to demonstrate the maxim that a re-reading of the topography in the landscape design can turn the today’s impoverished panorama described. Thus, a look at the past, with the return to the mountain, helps to look towards the future and to a new landscape identity.
Relaciones significativas: un acercamiento a la obra de Nuno Melo Sousa
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-04-28) Juan Ferruses, Ignacio; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[EN] This approach to and study of the work of Nuno Melo Sousa aims to understand the intentions and processes of an architect whose career, limited to a short period of time but intense in results, shows from the outset a personality of its own. A serene, stable, silent architecture that understands the context in order to intervene in it, respecting the existing elements and adding value through what is built. The interpretation of his works, beyond pretending to be a chronological outline, tries to highlight certain principles that remain present in all of them. Art and craftsmanship, drawing and thought, monumentality and beauty, serenity and landscape, and plasticity and texture are the terms that, paired together, serve as a support for exploring and describing the essence of his works. His drawings, his words and the photographs of his works (unpublished) are the support for the text that tries to explain his work.
Tecnología industrial y espacio sacro. Iglesia de Baranzate 1957
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-04-18) Mocholí Ferrándiz, Guillermo; Serra Soriano, Bartolomé; Verdejo Gimeno, Pedro; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Dpto. de Proyectos Arquitectónicos; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura
[EN] In Baranzate a church is erected designed with four concrete pilasters, bush-hammered by hand to give the rough appearance needed to contrast it against the fi neness of the board that supports them; a cover with a prefabricated and post-tensioned section. A system which frees up the enclosure from the structural work and defi nes itself as a fi ne element of thin double transparent glass. A dialogue between the lightweight and thin light box and a concrete structure with texture and volume. An encounter between two materials addressed by A.Manigiarotti and B. Morassutti with the most current advanced technology.
