13 photo: Amparo Garrido photo: Amparo Garrido 12 towers in Vallecas Av del Mayorazgo Madrid As opposed to the great operations of the periphery, we recovered the scale and the density of the historical center How many vestibules you cross in 10 minutes walking by the PAU of Ensanche de Vallecas, as opposed to which you cross in the same time in the historical center of Madrid? Perhaps 5 as opposed to 50 A block, halfway between the periphery and the historical city We are interested on the fragmentation and the compactness, two terms in principle opposed but compatible A compact project formed by different fragments: a closed block that is diluted in small towers A project that is looking for its position as it changes of level, the fragmentation of the ground floor, to the compactness of the plants first and second, dissolving in independent pieces in the superior plants We engage in a dialog between two systems, the group and the individual thing Between the collective and massive system of the first plants, and the towers: almost single houses Project is not public! 2008 Main designer, Contractor nodo 17 Arquitectos Bunch, arquitectura y proyectos Fercaber Nodo17 photo: Amparo Garrido The project is officially not public, but the gates to the courtyard are open quite often The location is between the Av del Mayorazgo; Av del Ensanche de Vallecas; Av De la Gavia and Calle de Peñaranda de Bracamonte (Ensanche de Vallecas) 13

14 photo: Nazar Leskiw photo: Marco de Trizio Puerta de Europa Plaza de Castilla Madrid These two office towers flank the Paseo de la Castellana, Madrid's most important boulevard The location of a subway interchange made the placement of the two towers near the street impossible Their bold design is in part a response to the need for the footprints of the towers to be set back from the interchange while at the same time bringing the towers together as a single compositional whole The towers lean towards each other and over the plazas, ensuring their visibility from up and down the Paseo and creating a portal which, being at the Northern end of the business district of Madrid, has been called a metaphorical gateway to Europe The façade of each tower is a composition of a major grid -clad in stainless steel conforming to their structure-, a minor grid of red mullions, and a third grid comprising the light grey mullions of the curtain wall (text from website architect) photo: Manuel González Olaechea y Franco Public access unknown! 1995 Main designer, Philip Johnson John Burgee Marco_De_Trizio 14

What if we transport to the bar the happiness of the group of people that use the Tetuán Street in summer? We could build "economical houses" with social use photo: Alfonso Herranz Floor area/size m² LG Arquitectos ramirolosadaamor 35
