Madrid RIO / Burgos & Garrido + Porras La Casta + Rubio & Álvarez-Sala + West 8

© Jeroen Musch

In 2005, an invited international competition was announced for a design of the reclaimed area above a tunnel holding a section of the M30 ring motorway immediately adjacent to the old city centre.  The team proposed to resolve the urban situation exclusively by means of landscape architecture, and were the winning submission. The design is founded on the idea »3 + 30« – a concept which proposes dividing the 80 hectare urban development into a trilogy of initial strategic projects that establish a basic structure which then serves as a solid foundation for a number of further projects, initiated in part by the municipality as well as by private investors and residents.

Vallecas 48 / Auriens Arquitectura

© Chirstine Barbs

Vallecas 48 was the winner of a contest organized by the EMVS of Madrid. It contains 41 residential units, 41 commercial and storage space, and 42 parking spaces. The study decided to group homes in a single building with an L-shaped plan. The result is two bodies that are joined, one flies over the other and the road below, while the other volume falls behind forming what the architects called a “game of volumes.”

Infomab10 / Kawamura Ganjavian Studio

A cool pavilion by Kawamura Ganjavian Studio houses information about a public arts program in .   Built in record time and within record budget, the pavilion is made with polyester reinforced fiberglass.  Two large openings allow users inside the pavilion.  100 circular perforations provide outlets for natural light to reach the interior space during the day, and in the night time, the interior is lit by the street lights.  The pavilion is also fit to hold small events along the Paseo de Recoletos.  The project was conceived as an experiment on the possibilities of recycling architectural precast fiberglass (polyester reinforced with fiberglass).
