Puesta en valor de una antigua estructura de hormigón. Transformación de un local comercial en una clínica dental infantil
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-03-23) Martinez Rodríguez, José
[EN] This article is a description of the intervention that was carried out on a retail space situated on the ground level of a residential block built in the 1960s in a commercial street in the urban centre of Valladolid. A conventional space at fi rst sight, which has been subjected to numerous interventions over time. After stripping back the ceilings and walls, a sequence of superimposed layers of diff erent materials became apparent on all of them, which we decided to eliminate in order to recover the materiality of the concrete used in the original structure.
Atrapar el tiempo. Casa en Villalba de Julio Cano Lasso
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-03-23) Marina Pemán, Rocío
[EN] The House in Villalba (1963), could be defi ned as humanized stone, concrete that is born, ages and dies. Unaltered by the passing of time, not even when its time comes, when its owner decides to demolish it. In its plans and photographs, dusted off on the occasion of the centenary of its architect’s birth, we discover what is probably Julio Cano Lasso’s most expressive work. (1920-1996). “The house should be a grotto”, writes the architect at the bottom of a sketch, “a rock, an interior landscape with overhead light”. In this simple sentence, all the poetic potential of the house is condensed. The image of the grotto takes us back to the gloom, silence and mystery of the earthly world, but also to the image of the fi rst grotto: the mother’s womb, symbol of the warmth and security of home. The stark concrete walls, permeable to the passage of time, and the vegetation colonising the architecture, represent an existence that resists abstraction and emptiness to become concrete and fi nite. The house, imagined as a grotto, invites us to think about the human condition, the need we all have for refuge and resistance to the disintegrating forces that surround us.
Brutal Tropical: La huella de Sergio Antelo Gutiérrez en Santa Cruz de la Sierra – Bolivia
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-03-23) Ruiz Garvia, Ricardo; Giménez Arce, Cinthia; Universidad Privada de Santa Cruz de la Sierra
[EN] Sergio Antelo Gutiérrez was one of the pioneers of the modern movement in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and also one of the founders of the local ideological trend known as “Nación Camba”. His architectural work is characterized by the combination of these two aspects; On the one hand, through the modern international infl uence that he managed to forge during his academic experience in Brazil and France and for his uninterrupted theoretical production on the cultural identity of eastern Bolivia. Antelo’s contribution, in the technological, functional, aesthetic and cultural fi elds in the local context, has an important historical value, which deserves to be documented and disseminated. In this spirit, this communication presents two case studies: fi rstly, the works that were conceived in “el Parque el Arenal” and later the “Julio Prado Montaño” Bus Station. Both examples represents fundamental works of the author, which gave rise to the formation of what can be called at present as “Brutalismo Tropical Cruceño.” The conclusions will highlight the importance of developing initiatives that avoid repeating past mistakes and be aimed at a recovery and enhancement of their material work from diff erent governmental and citizen spheres.
El proyecto de Dipoli. Respuestas al paisaje desde la forma y la materialidad
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-03-23) Cortés Sánchez, Luis
[EN] Understanding and highlighting the materiality and form of buildings as a key aspect in the way they relate to the landscape is the aim of the article presented here. To this end, we will examine the Dipoli project at the Helsinki Polytechnic University by Reima and Raili Pietilä, built between 1961-1966. The research carried out is based on the interpretation of plans, photographs, and technical reports, as well as a visit to the building itself, to demonstrate the relationships established between the building and the landscape. This reading of the landscape, which the pair of architects encountered in the area of action, became the driving force behind the project, confi guring a building which in itself is landscape. Within the complexity of the elements that make it up, this article focuses on the roof, a hollow shell of cast-in-place concrete. This element acquires protagonism in the project as it has the capacity both to organise the programme and to create a sequence of continuous and fl uid spaces underneath it of great spatial quality in connection with the surrounding landscape.
Ordenanzas sin dibujar. Vivienda en la Colonia de Casas Baratas Juan Canalejo. A Coruña, España
(Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-03-23) Pedrós Fernández, Oscar
[EN] The experience described is situated in the Juan Canalejo Aff ordable Housing Colony in A Coruña, one of the many colonies of this kind that appeared in the post-war period (1948) on the basis of the Aff ordable Housing Law of 1911 and shortly before the fi rst Land Law in Spanish territory. The interest of the project lies in the resolution of an untried Ordinance, justifying an action that does not alter the environmental conditions of a subzone in relation to the appearance of extemporaneous pieces, to the legality and expectations of the Town Planning that defi nes them. The most recognisable elements of the type are maintained: arched access that generates a hallway (even inserting a staircase that did not previously exist), composition of openings and rhythm of the existing fl oor plan and conservation of the original shape of the roof, a cornice that remains in its original place - instead of being moved to the upper fl oor - and which acts as a support for the passive behaviour of the new piece. It is precisely these elements that articulate a contemporary story about an existing aff ordable house to which the General Town Planning grants expectations of buildability that did not exist before, while protecting but not cataloguing. When a Plan does not check its text against the reality of pencil on paper; when there is no jurisprudence or criterion on an ordinance in text form only, owners and architects turn to the real solution of the exercise and the faith and defence of the values that underlie its approach, through the use of exposed reinforced concrete as an ally.
