Centro de Educación de Personas Adultas y Aparcamiento

Centro de Educación de Personas Adultas y Aparcamiento | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

ARQIUTECTURA-G ha presentado una propuesta en concurso abierto para la construcción de un centro de educación de personas adultas y un aparcamiento.

 

El proyecto pretende dar respuesta a las necesidades sociales que motivan su encargo con la voluntad de proporcionar las condiciones de utilización óptimas para sus usuarios y la imagen más adecuada para el municipio, cumpliendo el programa establecido y adecuando su construcción a las previsiones de costes establecidos en las bases de la convocatoria. Las principales claves estratégicas de proyecto son:

 

Conseguir un edificio público que dialogue con el entorno, en especial con el parque, en una zona de transición urbana de alto interés paisajístico y estratégico.


Resolver las necesidades del programa funcional dentro del coste previsto.


Seleccionar los materiales y las tècnicas empleadas con tal de minimizar el mantenimento.


Evaluar ambientalmente los materiales empleados para escoger los de menor consumo de recursos no renovables a lo largo de su producción, puesta en obra, mantenimento, deconstrucción y posterior reciclaje.


Contemplar los requerimientos de accessibilidad que eviten las barreras arquitectónicas.


Estudiar la flexibilidad de estructuras, instalaciones, cerramientos, etc. para permitir futuros cambios de uso o de distribución.


Cumplir con la ordenación urbanística y la normativa vigente respetando al máximo el entorno inmediato ofreciendo una imagen de vanguardia integradora.

Greening the Games: Architecture of the 2012 London Olympics - MYD Blog - MYD studio

Greening the Games: Architecture of the 2012 London Olympics - MYD Blog - MYD studio | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Hosting the Olympics very well may be one of the greatest drivers of new construction for a city, as evidenced by the landmark buildings designed for the 2008 Beijing games, including the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube. Similarly, Zaha Hadid’s Aquatic Center is likely the most visually exuberant and eye-catching structure at this year’s Games; with an expansive curving and structurally complex roof, the venue serves as the point of entry for the majority of visitors.

El lado oculto de Nueva York por Alex MacLean

El lado oculto de Nueva York por Alex MacLean | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it
Sin duda la ciudad de Nueva York es una de las más atractivas del mundo, donde sus altos rascacielos forman la que es, de seguro, la imagen más característica para quienes la visiten. Pero esta ciudad tiene mucho más un skyline prominente y alto tráfico, existe todo un mundo nuevo y que está tocando las nubes. Así es, se trata de la vida que ocurre habitando las cubiertas, escapando del calor, las multitudinarias calles, el trabajo o cualquier otro motivo.

 

Alex MacLean retrata esto, incluso llegando a liberar la imaginación para aquellos que aún no se han hecho cargo de este espacio al aire libre con el potencial de volver a otorgar aquel metro cuadrado construido y perdido. En su nuevo libro, Up on the Roof, da cátedra de esto, piscinas, terrazas, espacios de arte, bares, canchas de basquetbol e incluso granjas pueden situarse en la azotea de un edificio.

Tour de France dell'architettura: verso la passerella finale - Archiportale.com | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

20/07/2012 - Quest'anno abbiamo avuto la possibilità di seguire, grazie ad Archilovers, la carovana del Tour de France, prendendo a prestesto la gara ciclistica per analizzare la stato di forma dell'architettura francese e per allargare lo sguardo da quanto accade nella sola Parigi.

Attendendo l'arrivo nella capitale, vi risparmio il lungo elenco di classifiche (che rinviamo alla lettura dettagliata delle singole tappe) e vi presentiamo invece una selezione dei progetti che si sono maggiormente distinti in questa ricognizione oltralpe che ci ha portato dalle spiaggie sulla Manica a quelle della Costa azzurra, passando per le colline ricoperte di vigneti del Cento e per le salite sui Pirenei.

Quand utopie et techniques opérationnelles se côtoient [Le Courrier de l'Architecte] | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

Un débat prospectif digne de ce nom s'alimente alternativement de substances théoriques, pratiques et utopiques. Nous présentons aujourd'hui un fragment du texte manifeste accompagnant le projet de ville bio-numérique présenté au concours 'D3 Natural System'. L'objectif de cette compétition internationale était de proposer des dispositifs architecturaux, territoriaux ou urbains conçus à l'articulation entre la nature et l'artificiel.

Casa Genérica en Australia para TRACE

Casa Genérica en Australia para TRACE | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it

ARQUITECTURA-G finaliza la fase de proyecto básico de la Casa Genérica en Australia. Se trata de una vivienda industrializada capaz de adaptarse a distintas orientaciones, parcelas y necesidades de organización interior. Se venderá por catálogo a través de la promotora australiana TRACE.

 

CONCEPT

When approaching the task of designing a house without a specific client with specific needs, and even more, without having a specific place and orientation, a ‘generic house’ seems to be the appropriate response. The formal whims seem to take second place. An architectural system capable of giving any answer is more important than anything else. We propose an interconnecting modular system developed mainly in the horizontal plane. Starting from a grid of 60x60cm, we developed a module we can use as an aggregation unit that has an appropriate size to accommodate either a car or a master bedroom.

Arte y Arquitectura: Obras en Diálogo / Flavia Mielnik | The Architecture of the City | Scoop.it
Flavia Mielnik (São Paulo, 1982), es Licenciada en Educación Artística de la Universidad Armando Alvares Penteado de São Paulo y postgraduada en Arte Investigación y Creación de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.
A lo largo de su carrera artística, determinados cambios de ciudad y residencias activaron en su obra importantes inquietudes en relación a transformación del medio urbano, el desvanecimiento de las pequeñas historias de lo cotidiano y la memoria de las ciudades, acentuando su atracción por lugares efímeros, como las ruinas urbanas, paisajes presentes en gran parte de su obra.
