This realization condenses the reflections and urbanity experiences about the interventions in Ciutat Vella, at the City of Valencia. Or of any other European city. In the course, from the first outlines and dam of datum for the uprising of the state current, and the end of the work more than ten years and more than ten rehabilitation of other buildings have gone by next to this environment and, in more, other cities and people, like Zaragoza, Nantes, Llíria, Parcent, etc we Had a building a lot deteriorated by the lack of maintenance and for the use neglected and the step of the time. With elderly persons sublet with ancient and very tiny prices to rent. The urban, enviable environment, was equally quite deteriorated. In spite of being in the ancient essential and commercial center of the city. Next to the “Plaza Redonda”. Placed in a allotment that it gives in three streets, for their irregular form. Making side in "del trenc" st and "dels drets" st, it had the access for the "dels manyans" st. With nº of police 24. Fruit of the aggregation of three coming allotments, two of them, of workshop homes, and the third, possibly, of an exchange of allotments with the adjacent one, in time of placing the “Plaza Redonda” in the environment, on the ancient fishmonger. In spite of being peripheral. The topography is flat. The pre-existences of the environment are a mixture of buildings coming from the applied Rationalist Academism on Workshop Homes, which over rose in the first half of XIX, and of buildings of new substituting floor the former with a typology of Homes of Rent built in the second half of XIX.Of trend and gallicized and historicist decoration. In "de Drets" st there is one moved back of the line of alignment, motivated by an disembowelling how alone was implemented partially. The forged ones, given the aggregation of independent units they were not you continue not even they were in the same heights. The public space yet had not carried out the indispensable measures of do a street for the pedestrians, burial air facilities, etc The RIVA, he had not sorted the help in a suitable way for that the owners accessed to grants in an advantageous way. The building consisted of Ground Floor devoted to shop, basement that reached half from the site, fruit of a perverse intervention of emptying made by the sixties. Attic that reached the fourth part of area from the site. And four floors with a house for each. The roof was possible standing and without structural explanation.There was a disposed zone of roof on its side to make the function of hanging the cloth, etc. So much the facade of access for manyans st., cone the one moved back to dels drets st in of style and historicist language, shaping in floor a rectangle that accommodated courtyard of entry, hull of scale until the terrace of cover and coating -aired by shutter in the scale- and one that he airs to c/ of the rights. In the inland, a corridor kept on driving in the rooms, some that they gave in requirement and other to the sharecropper that they in no way aired. On the building they weighed three orders of immediate execution for falling down of elements to the public way. And a promoter, employer foreign to the “edilici” bouquet, to the what suns the final result interested it. Economic as well as of image of expensive to its neighbours. We are in the kneecap of the BIC's of the church of Santa Caterina and the Cental Mercat. Conditioned by both of them. A degree of environmental protection 3.

PROGRAM

Economic and strategic: Given the cumulus of situations, so to the con, we turned on an only experience in the nineties, in Valencia. The rehabilitation of a building with character of house Protected from the Private Initiative. So it is like this, that the forms of the Direction of house of the Generalitat Valenciana, he lacks ad hoc forms to fill it and to pioneer the formalities. With which grants were received for Rehabilitation of the office RIVA and those of financial character to be HPO. In a moment in which the interests went down and anybody did it want to make House Protected Official. Now Officer for Public has been changed for it, but he so uses. With the course of the years has still been able to be increased through the help to rent youngsters the houses at rated price in a deadline of 10 years as a minimum temporality. We could convince the promoter the additional advantages. And they accommodated it.

Functional: Making four houses of minor useful area of 70 square meters. Houses of three bedrooms. Two doubles and one simple. Implementing those of telecommunications, against fires, etc The eye of scale it did not allow us, to renew all facilities, to include the elevator there. Adapting the application of acoustics to the rule NBE-CA-88, with essays in situ of fulfilment. Implementing the law of the horizontal property. The premises of ground floor with basement and attic would be left out of all the operation as a free element.

We had to substitute the minimum conditions of stability all those forged ones that they did not give in the building. Reinforcing the matxons that clamp the building. With a height of some 18 m. To Substitute the cover, after overthrowing the primitive. Reinforcing balconies, to rework the cadence of the steps to equal them, then the altitudes of each floor were very different. Ventilation forced, with shunts, for cover of coatings and cooking’s. Implementation of all regulations and Ordinances coming from the new PGOU of Valencia and of the recent PEPRI of THE MARKET.

One of trapezoidal basis and the other rectangular one. The first lodging the life. Canteen hall and bedrooms. The second the vertical communication and the installations with the humid elements (coatings and cooking). The section is the one generative of the intervention. They are the permanence of Ciutat Vella: of outline and map, then, the urban construction coming from the Gothic they keep until today. This has intended to be a research of paradigmatic architecture without budgetary and maximum capacity contribution and anonymous, the purpose of which, simply the material construction is from houses with the minimum inversion. To rent, with all the current services. While attempting to tuck in the more with the minimum. Covering the requirement that standing would be wished by the height with respect to contributions to the final user. That is, the mimetic solution has been rejected, to be like this conscious of our excluding the possibility to minimize the impact in the existing context. The architettura povera gets along for the lack of resources, not poor woman with respect to intrinsic wealth in the set. The wealth of the relations among all buildings that conforming the environment it is out of every doubt.

This intervention has mimetic character. Passing unobserved. Inserted in the conceptualization of the analogous City of Collin Rowe. In this piece of the collage. We sustain the solid ones, and the emptiness. We have created and have plumbed branches of the large windows, in “durandiana” way. We have invested the colours of the academic constructions and the historicist ones. The colour of the locks of some they are the of the moulding of the other one, and vice versa. Unit creating composite and chromatic. Branches and thresholds differ. We have renewed the doors. New cooking, new all outer bedrooms. Everything organizes itself for axes. The requirements of the emptiness, surpassing in the inland. We bring it acquires cherry colour, we sustain the interior wickets. We keep the outer hoop of the emptiness with flashing outer, to outer bundle of façade. Solution bad but frequently by the tradition. We renew the intrados of the under balconies Some touch in the third floor. We sustain the housing of the attic, to the what we add a scale that rises to a piece of terrace, which we have privatized. Me separate the community terrace of the former one. The down pipes are of hurting and glazed. We retrieve the taste for the mixed composition of the cover: roof and roof. Structural maintenance of all the building with two only interior “matxons”. Area of 94 m2. “Peraltat” of balconies in 1'10 m.
