Biodegradable Materials for Urban Area

The intervention area is a remaining ground of 80 ha resulting from the urban intervention of the Barajas Airport in Madrid. It is a ruling plan of the Spanish yards.

CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS

Since the beginning of the project, the execution of the constructions in the urban area was based on one idea. It needed to be made out of biodegradable materials and also be a creation that has a low impact on the environmental CO2.

In short it’ll be an auto-sufficient space with energy autonomy and of low maintenance.

THE INTERVENTION

In the axis direction, there’s a crossing platform which is the intervention spine. It’s aiming to lodge not only the technical facilities of maintenance, but also other activities, such as restaurants, as well as the localization of all events concerning several activities such as dance, theatre, music and exhibitions, managed by an institution and an annual planning programme.
