2 photo: Mieke Vullings photo: Mieke Vullings El Mirador de Sanchinarro Calle Princesa de Éboli Madrid This 22 level building, called Mirador, is located in Sanchinarro, a residential suburb on the north east edge of Madrid surrounded by highways and with views towards the Guadarrama Mountains The most impressive element of the building is the incredible gap of it shape, which acts as a frame for the distant landscape The large communal plaza and lookout at 40 m above the ground is meant to be used by the neighborhood as a meeting area and playground The Mirador contains a wide variety of compact housing types, in total 156 units The architects created a distinctive silhouette by grouping nine blocks The articulation of these blocks is apparent in the exterior palette, equal parts stone, concrete and tile The strips of red indicate the corridors The way the nine blocks are stacked and glued together, they make up a new towering impressive 'superblock' (MVRDV) Blanca Lleó asociados from Madrid were responsible for directing the works Project is not public!

9 photo: Alberto M Sánchez photo: Alberto M Sánchez Sede de la Cámara de Comercio Calle Ribera del Loira Madrid The Headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Madrid is situated next to the highway M-40 The The building has clean lines and is very transparant, with three openings that allow light to enter and to look outwards from the 'camera' (room) This geometric distribution, a bucket inside another, as well as the materials used is not arbitrary It connects the interior with the environment outside the building The facades combine glass, white concrete and carpentry of aluminum, thus creating a set of materials and volumes The opening leading to the motorway is closed and is metallic, that of the entry is translucent and weightless and that connects to the park is glass transparent The latter, for the administration of the Council, is a supporting facade and gives life to the two sides held cameras, dedicated to the assemblies and meetings photo: Alberto M Sánchez Project is public!

10 photo: David Baugh photo: David Baugh Usera Public Library Avenida Rafaela Ybarra Madrid Bib&codigo=227 Sitting on a patch of high ground, the 'Biblioteca publica Jose Hierro' could be described as a castle for the safe keeping of books and other information Upon entering, the first thing one encounters is a dramatic triple height entrance space, followed by the discovery that the the ground floor plan is actually quite extensive, and is not confined to the footprint of the tower above A good way to experience the building is to take the lift up to the top floor and then walk back down the stairs The plan of the tower is divided in a two-thirds/one-third split There are several double height spaces occupying the larger portion, with mezzanine galleries - holding the toilets and quiet study rooms forming the smaller part of the plan Tall slit windows, arranged in an apparently random fashion, allow in natural light The interior walls are covered in abstracted text in different colours Structure is confined to the core and perimeter to leave a largely column-free interior Project is public!
