air well Explanation: References (if term chosen please award first answer, this is just to provide a ref) Parallel translation below: El programa no cabe en el antiguo contenedor sin menoscabar la esencia arquitectónica del propio edificio. La ampliación es necesaria. ¿Cómo adueñarse de un espacio tan característico, respetando al mismo tiempo la rigurosa normativa municipal en cuanto a la exteriorización de la arquitectura? La respuesta la hallamos en el propio entorno, nos la ofrece la iglesia arciprestal y la plaza de toros: ocultarse en el terreno. Para alterar lo menos posible el paisaje, los necesarios elementos de ventilación e iluminación de las nuevas estancias se manifiestan como una reinterpretación de otros que ya pertenecen al contexto. El muro de contención se convierte en fachada, el patio inglés en calle, y el vacío de los claustros aparece al exterior como *****patio de luces*****. La cubierta desaparece como tal, ora transformada en zona de juegos o pista deportiva, ora recuperada por la propia naturaleza. La antigua circulación bianular en torno a dos claustros queda incluida en una nueva ortogonal, de mayor rango. La articulación entre la ampliación y la rehabilitación la marca la propia composición del edificio primitivo. The brief does not fit into the old container without diminishing the architectural essence of the building. An extension is essential. How can we take possession of such a spatial feature while at the same time obeying the strict municipal rules concerning exteriorisation of the architecture? The answer is to be found in the surroundings. It is suggested by the archiprestal church and the bullring: concealment in the ground. To alter the scenery as little as possible, the lighting and ventilation elements required by the new areas take the form of a reinterpretation of others that already belong in that context. The retaining wall becomes a façade, the forecourt a street, and the empty space of the cloistered quadrangles seems from the exterior to be an ******air-well.****** The roof disappears as such, now transformed into a playground or sports area, now returned to nature. The former double loop circulation around the two cloisters is united into a new, larger quadrangle. The articulation between the extension and the renovation is marked by the composition of the original building http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:pT6DZekUg84C:www.via-ar... |
