vallecas tower public housing. madrid
the project builds a total of 132 one- and two-bedroom homes for a building area of ??9000 m2 plus 300 for commercial use on the ground floor. the solution in plan has as a geometric basis the "double symmetry", it is like ambigrams, which are the words or figures that are read the same when rotated 180º. this strategy has to do with the fact that the building, as an exempt block. the external enclosure uses resources of undifferentiation and scalar ambiguity. it is a skin of black zinc scales in horizontal strips that slide over each other with a slight offset and in which the holes are inserted with the intention of not making the floor levels evident. a combinatorial system of hollows type of recognizable domestic court is proposed that find their best position always from within the rooms. constructively, the zinc facade becomes the central argument not only because of its material execution but also as an energy efficiency strategy. a minimum maintenance solution is proposed, in a transventilated position, which facilitates the transpiration of the facade, protects the building from the infiltration of rainwater and prevents interstitial condensation. it involves the optimization of the thermal and acoustic insulation of the building, which, being located on the outer face of the bricks enclosure, avoids possible thermal bridges.
