The spatial plan for 600 square kilometers of land used for intensive agriculture in plastic greenhouses in Pujaire, in the region of Almería, Spain, remediates a destroyed natural habitat and declining economy that lacks social infrastructure. The project proposes the rearrangement of water supplies, introduction of wildlife corridors, development of model cities, and enhancement of the greenhouse architecture – all focused on a natural environmental restoration of agro-industrial territories and improvement of social conditions for the region’s inhabitants.

Why a prism? It is one of the basic regular forms of human intelligence. In a city which is almost a palimpsest, the several levels of its history must be always present. But the basic shape of the prism is just the support for its meanings as a sign of time: it is an URBAN INTENSIFIER device. That is, a prism whose goal is to accelerate, improve, enhance the conscious of living in such a city.

The hospital areas were isolated from the surroundings because of the infectious diseases. The future of the area starts by tearing down the massive walls. Better traffic connections and mixing various functions attracts users to the new pilot lohas (lifestyle of health and sustainability) city hospital. Lowering the border between hospital and outside world enables social contacts between patients and other people. We did the competition together with Sasu Hälikkä, specialist of healthcare design.

Am östlichen Rand des Areals General-von-Stein-Kaserne in einem Grünstreifen gelegen, wird das zukünftige Kinderhaus zum Drehpunkt zwischen zwei Wohnquartieren: der 1960er-Jahre-Siedlung im Osten und der geplanten Neubebauung auf dem Kasernengelände selbst. Der polygonale Zuschnitt des Grundstücks gibt im Hinblick auf das avisierte Raumprogramm und im Zusammenspiel mit erhaltenswertem Baumbestand verbindlichere Fluchten vor als die in gebührendem Abstand stehenden Bauten. Das Kinderhaus wird so zum freistehenden Pavillon hinter und zwischen den Bäumen.

El proyecto propone complementar el edificio existente considerando la oportunidad de obtener una nueva área de equipamiento de uso polivalente (actividades de tipo lúdico, de exhibición escénica, deportivas y feriales) y plantea la necesidad de establecer un nuevo equilibrio entre el conjunto construido, el nuevo espacio público y la ciudad.

Hemmed in between a steeply sloping hillside and a wood of eucalyptus trees, the narrow plot of land compels one to cross the garden to arrive, descending, at the small bay of a lagoon. Overlooking the landscape, a monolithic prism of concrete attempts to articulate the contradictions of the topography with a square top floor measuring 20m on each side balanced on top of a compact bottom floor measuring 8.5m on each side.

The urban plan (made in 2004-2006), suggests a differentiated structure, with a regular decrease in density starting from the town, all the way to farmland "emptiness". The green urban transition, expansion or extension of the low density area, is a gradual conversion from a built to a planted environment.
