Research Center at La Vega Baja Toledo

Year  2011-1012     Teacher J. Morales- J.L. Bezos- S. Giles     Note  (9) Nueve  E.T.S.A SEVILLA

An area of ​​the Vega Baja area of ​​Toledo is intended to project a research center in which several factors must be taken into account.

The place has a great landscape load that in a certain way is tried to assume in the proposal of the project, reason why, although it reaches much of the surface, it must respect this quality.

I believe that the decision to provide the project with a single height, developing it as a fabric that can somehow be adapted to the territory, are strategies to comply with respect to the landscape. For the development of this fabric, a module formed by two trapezes, each of them 15 meters of base by 15 meters of height, that allows through the different slopes to mimic with the territory, at the same time creates the opportunity to introduce The light to the spaces.

The repetition of this module facilitates the development of a continuous and at the same time fragmented space, which at a given moment, could reach the whole Vega of the river.

The extension of this module allows a good adaptation to the slopes that exist in the lot of this project, so that the modules in cascade are creating the different platforms of uses.

Patios, terraces, terraces, skylights, vegetation and building are part of the final landscape that I propose. "Responding to the different levels of the city" "The rooms are responding functionally to the different levels" creating a vertical landscape "that allows the individual reading of each one of them.
