Textual content description offered by the architects. The chance to create an city area that may join the inside of the courtyard with a small sq. situated on the adjoining Cartagena Road was introduced to us from the outset as the elemental goal of the challenge. This new city area would, on the similar time, enable views of the rear façades of a notable constructing, the Casa de Baños de la Guindalera, to be recovered for the town.
To make this need appropriate with the event of the requested program of makes use of, the proposed new constructing is raised off the bottom over a big a part of its footprint supported by a system of slender concrete and metal pillars, creating this coated city area, which might stay open or be closed in keeping with the wants of use and timetable.
On this approach it’s doable to finish with a brand new constructing the two,000 m2 trapezoid-shaped block during which two different buildings of very completely different character and date of development are already situated: the Previous Bathtub Home (1932) transformed within the early Eighties right into a Cultural Centre and a constructing connected to the celebration wall (2006).
It was a key resolution to keep up within the Casa de Baños the makes use of it already housed, such because the library, the meeting corridor, and help areas, with the clear intention of respecting the consolidated character of the constructing. In distinction, it’s within the new constructing the place the extra leisure makes use of are situated, multi-purpose rooms and workshop, which come into play with the geometry of the bottom plan, derived from the bounds of the plot and the mandatory setbacks to the a number of adjoining buildings.
To create the coated city area, the construction of the brand new constructing should be sturdy sufficient to bridge giant spans on the decrease flooring. This requires a slab, as a first-floor ceiling, with 95 cm excessive ribs. This structural requirement can be transferred to the higher flooring for the reason that sports activities halls should have the ability to perform as a unit, which signifies that most of their floor space should be freed from help.
In relation to the envelope, the restoration of the unique mortars of the Casa de Baños offers monumental worth to its rejuvenated exterior look, and this similar end is used on the façades of the brand new constructing, looking for a dialogue between constructions. This end, with its tough texture and barely ochre tone, is totally seen on the decrease flooring, these closest visually and spatially to the Casa de Baños. Though on the higher flooring, it’s coated with a system of vertical porcelain items, which go in entrance of the openings with a sure freedom, and which relate to the uncovered brickwork façades so current within the neighborhood.
