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.

Madrid(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2009-09-09) Estudio Rubio & Álvarez-Sala, Estudio de arquitectura[EN] The construction comprises two linear units facing each other, situated on each of the streets bordering the lot, creating an indoor landscaped area featuring doorway spaces.The units are arranged so as to create a double symmetry effect.
- Publication20 años de Europan en España(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Carmona Belda, Marita[EN] Europan was launched in Spain, and now is one of the most important generators of habitation ideas in Europe. The article takes two aspects as its starting point: the first aspect is based on the theoretical approaches of the competition since it began in 1988, and the second on the social housing constructions in Spain. Ultimately, after studying the theory and practice behind Europan, the goal is to offer an approximation to the lifestyles in Spain during the turn of century, and through its contributions after more than 20 years of existence.
- Publication2001-2008. Construcciones Rurales en Joanópolis(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) UNA arquitetos[EN] The Joanópolis House was designed for friends who frequent the Finca Carambó, two kilometres away, where we built a barbecue area in 2002. The region is the beginning of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range, at an altitude of 1,000 metres, on the border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais. The group of houses is on the edge of the Piracaia dam, which is part of the capital's water supply system. Nearby is the neighbourhood of Lopo, the old Bandeirantes road and a stop for livestock drovers in the 19th century. The Carambó pPavilion is built on the Carambó Farm, located on the border of the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, near the city of Joanópolis, at an altitude of 1000 metres in the Serra da Mantiqueira. The farm is located in a large pasture valley whose surrounding mountains are covered by a native forest. There was already a house there, built on a plateau at the intermediate level between the top and the bottom of the valley. It is a reconstruction of an old house in the Lopo neighbourhood, a 19th century mule drivers' stop, which was on the verge of being demolished.
- Publication2001-2017. Centro Universitario Maria Antônia USP(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) UNA arquitetos[EN] The renovation and restoration project seeks to adapt the complex (Ed. Rui Barbosa and Joaquim Nabuco) to its new use - a contemporary art centre that brings together exhibition spaces, rooms for theoretical and practical courses and a University Theatre - and has the central objective of affirming the public character that has historically marked this USP heritage site. The proposal includes the restoration of the main façades, keeping the volumes of the Rui Barbosa and Joaquim Nabuco buildings intact, but proposes a new relationship between the complex and the city. The free space between the two buildings acquires the dimension of a public space, forming a small square. At street level, this square is the natural widening of the pavement and defines a welcoming access to the complex. At the lower level, a tree-lined courtyard connects the two buildings, creating an open-air performance space for the theatre. The project's contribution to the memory of the academic, cultural and political movement that had its headquarters on Maria Antônia Street is to enhance the open spaces, offering a generous link between the complex and the city.
- Publication2009 - 2026. PERONNES. Escuela de vela y polideportivo, Péronnes-lez-Antoing(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA + Artgineering[EN] The Grand Large project in Péronnes-lez-Antoing restructures and expands a public sports center (Adeps), located on an artificial island adjacent to the vast water basin along the Nimy-Blaton canal and the lock leading to the Scheldt river. This project encompasses a phased renovation and extension plan. It aims to replace outdated and asbestos-laden prefabricated buildings with new structures while deeply renovating more recent constructions. The sports center remains operational throughout all phases.
- Publication2012-2017. Casa en Cotia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) UNA arquitetos[EN] The design of a house always presupposes a commitment to accommodating family relationships. To set the scene for childhood, for the journey of life, and to establish the scales of measurement for the world. At the same time, the project is understood as a rehearsal, a possibility for many other constructions. This one, in particular, seeks to reinforce walking, the stroll as a way of perceiving the place. Times that coexist. The large corner plot was already densely wooded, opposite the access avenue, where there was a clearing. Thus, the project takes advantage of this free area, protects its inhabitants from the noise of the street and opens onto a small patch of woodland. The challenge is to build a new site by extending its qualities. The construction, in section, adapts to the geography, an area close to São Paolo with low hills. The floor plan allows for integration between the interior and exterior, which alternate, interweave and complement each other with water, fire and vegetation. Four planes built from three parallel retaining walls organise the landscape.
- Publication2012-2021. Edificio de apartamentos Huma Itaim(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) UNA arquitetos[EN] The neighbourhood of Itaim, close to Avenida Faria Lima, is undergoing a profound transformation. The former occupation of small two-storey houses has been replaced by towers. The project seeks to insert itself into this context as a kind of mediation between different times. The site has a special location, opening onto three streets and incorporating two corners. While the direct neighbouring building is a new 20+ storey residential tower, the proposed building is similar in scale but set back from the corners. On the ground floor the occupation strategy leaves almost 50% of the private plot as public area. A square is configured connecting three of its fronts, establishing continuity with the neighbourhood's pavements. The square, half covered and half uncovered, includes a café, gardens, benches and a water line. It establishes a new standard of urbanisation, desirable in a city whose public spaces are neglected. In this way, collective activities are enhanced, distributed vertically and establishing direct communication with the city.
- Publication2013 - 2014. PRINS DRIES: Plataforma transitable para el patio de una guardería, Amberes(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA[EN] This modest project tackles the challenge of enhancing outdoor space for a municipal kindergarten nestled in a bustling neighborhood of Antwerp. The task: to ingeniously integrate a walkable platform of exactly 100 square meters into a compact courtyard, bordered by classroom wings on three sides and a party wall crowned with a typical Flemish pitched roof. The precise figure of 100 square meters is dictated by regulatory requirements and the project's financial constraints.
- Publication2015 - 2024. CHAPEX: Palacio de Exposiciones de la Ciudad de Charleroi, Charleroi(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA + architecten jan de vylder inge vinck[EN] In Charleroi, a formerly prominent industrial city on the southern side of Belgium, stands a large Exhibition Hall. This exceptionally sizable building of 60 000 m² is left largely underused due to the difficulty of appropriating such broad volumes in a shrinking industrial context. Nowadays, a city of the scale of Charleroi can make use of at most 25.000 m² of exhibition halls, about a third of the available space.
- Publication2016 - 2019. DURLET. Ampliación de una escuela secundaria, Amberes(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA[EN] The extension of the Durlet school presents a study in straightforward geometrical forms amidst a complex urban backdrop. This project playfully navigates the interplay between volumetry and construction. The site hosts a neo-Flemish Renaissance court building from the late 19th century, accompanied by three wings refurbished in the 1960s. The city's intention to add a fourth wing, mirroring the original design, was complicated by the presence of an adjacent apartment block established in the 1970s. Urban regulations imposed a distinct volumetric approach from the existing structures.
- Publication2016 - 2022. KARREVELD: Transformación de un antiguo edificio de oficinas en una escuela secundaria, Bruselas(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA[EN] In the heart of a densely populated and diverse neighborhood, two neighboring municipalities have acquired a former office building to alleviate the acute shortage of secondary school facilities in Brussels. The initial phase addresses the urgent transformation of a first wing into classrooms to host the gradually increasing number of students. Capitalizing on the building's original open-plan concrete structure, the design reuses and adapts the system of lightweight, modular partition walls present on site, enhancing the space's inherent flexibility and creating an informal atmosphere that fosters appropriation. The project's second phase expands on this strategy, addressing the extension of the building with a sports hall, a restaurant and more classrooms.
- Publication2017 - 2020. VERBIEST: Transformación de un almacén en vivienda y taller de cerámica, Bruselas(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2024-04-29) AgwA + Evelia Macal[EN] Verbiest consists in the transformation of an abandoned warehouse situated in a dense urban block. It embodies an architectural exploration challenging conventional notions about material use, the economics of construction, environmental consciousness, comfort and programmatic expectations. This project also questions the recurrent confusion between circularity and reuse labels, and conspicuous consumption. A guiding principle was set: to eschew the use of new concrete and steel, instead embracing the warehouse's existing concrete structure.
- Publication2019-2021. Casa Juquiá(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) , UNA MUNIZVIEGAS[EN] Let's imagine that whoever builds a house in São Paulo seeks to blur the boundaries between open and closed spaces, inside and outside, covered and uncovered, taking advantage of our climate. The project interprets this desire in a ten-metre wide plot, typical of the pleasant Jardim Paulistano neighbourhood, a privileged part of the city with commerce, services, trees and infrastructure. The design aims to surround the house with gardens, terraces and balconies that extend into the interiors to form a unique environment. The main approach is to arrange the construction longitudinally on the site, in a linear fashion, keeping half of the width free at five metres. Thus, the vegetation is located on the north side, ensuring a retreat for sunlight and permanent aeration of the house that rests on the opposite edge. The plot expands, leaving the greatest length free, reinforcing this perception of spaciousness with balconies, patios and the transparency of the living room.
- Publication2019-2023. Club en Campinas(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2023-10-27) , UNA MUNIZVIEGAS[EN] The architecture of São Paulo produced exemplary clubs and spas. It is a programme that migrated to the common areas of new urbanisations. Basically, a shade that shelters the collective uses of parties, gymnastics, changing rooms and the construction of swimming pools and sports areas. The site of this project is located in Campinas, on the outskirts of the metropolis. From the ground it is possible to see the city skyline, with the slight slope favouring this panorama. The choice of the building's level of implantation allows visual continuity for pedestrians on the upper access road, delicately constructing a long line in the landscape. A single roof interconnects the double-height rooms, alternating full and empty, open and closed spaces.
- Publication4 vigas o la anti-arquitectura(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2013-04-18) Torres Barchino, Ana María; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio[EN] Benitez, through his ingenuity speaks with a new discourse in which he combines the central aspects of the discipline with the peripheral: he speaks about basic and sophisticated structural processes at the same time; about imaginative solutions, about recycling, about people, about the Guarani, about literature, about commitment. The tomb in Piribebuy “4 beams” – the same as the Abu&Font houseis perhaps an embryonic prototypes of anti-architecture.
- Publication44 viviendas de protección oficial en Teruel. España(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-04-29) Cristina Argos Moras y María Loriente López, Arquitectos[ES] El edificio se integra dentro de una nueva trama urbana de la ciudad de Teruel y alberga la construcción de 44 Viviendas Sociales, 44 trasteros, 65 plazas de aparcamiento y locales comerciales. La organización interior de los diferentes espacios responde a la relación del edificio con el entorno en sus diferentes orientaciones, cerrándose en orientaciones norte y abriéndose al entorno en orientaciones sur. Se desarrollan tres tipologías de vivienda cumpliendo un mismo programa, compuesto por estar-comedor, cocina, 3 dormitorios y dos baños agrupados, que permiten una mayor flexibilidad de distribución.
- Publication48 viviendas sociales IVVSA en Alicante. España(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-04-29) Alberto García-Burgos Vijande, Arquitecto[ES] Condiciones: 2 bloques paralelos, el sur a calle y el norte a parque de 300M, proponen viviendas pasantes. El magnifico clima (Alicante) sugiere estancias al aire libre: vivir entre 2 terrazas. Se vuelca el resto de la casa, sin ventanas. La vivienda, deudora de Sota en Alcudia, construye un sueño del M.M., el edificio de vivienda colectiva como apilamiento de aquellas casas, permeables a la naturaleza y a las visuales lejanas.
- Publication57 viviendas universitarias. Campus de la UPC. Sant Cugat del Vallès. Barcelona. España(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-04-29) H Arquitectes, Estudio[ES] Las nuevas viviendas para universitarios se encuentran en la misma manzana que la escuela de arquitectura del Vallès. La propuesta pretende mantener el equilibrio entre los edificios existentes, los espacios exteriores y la nueva residencia de estudiantes, que consta de dos bloques de planta baja y piso paralelos a la calle con un gran atrio central. El programa de residencia para estudiantes de arquitectura permite imaginar cohabitaciones intensas entre los usuarios, tanto a nivel individual, gracias a la flexibilidad interior de las viviendas, como a nivel colectivo, gracias al potencial de uso del atrio como espacio de eventos sociales.
- Publication6 impresiones del Sesc Pompeia de Lina Bo Bardi(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2012-09-10) Torres Barchino, Ana María; Dpto. de Expresión Gráfica Arquitectónica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura; Instituto Universitario de Restauración del Patrimonio[EN] The SESC Pompeia by Lina Bo Bardi has largely collected in part those conditions the virtues of the city of São Paulo, from the environmental to the poetic. Clearly, the building is the trace, the fi ngerprint of the person who thought about it and argued; moreover, it also appears to incorporate the signs of all people involved in its creation, it even seems to exude the perception of the stranger on the town. Thus, the building set of the SESC Pompeia is presented as the trace of an immense intellectual work of the first magnitude, and understanding the intellect as the fi rst requirement of poetry, like a huge poetic work.
- Publication76 viviendas de protección oficial en Sagunto, Valencia. España(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2014-04-29) J. Ignacio Fuster, Arquitecto[ES] Se encuentra en un área residencial de nueva creación una parcela rectangular de aproximadamente 60mx20m exenta, con un ligero desnivel, y la urbanización prácticamente terminada con los siguientes condicionantes; al este una vía de tráfico intenso (CV-320) con una amplia acera de separación, al oeste el jardín central de la urbanización, y un desnivel de aproximadamente 1m.
