The debate about how to conduct energy interventions in built heritage remains open. At present, the various European and national regulations allow the absence of energy intervention in cases where the character of a building with recognized heritage value would be jeopardized. This situation means that heritage preservation and energy improvement...

The need to improve the energy performance of European buildings is beyond all doubt, as indicated by the different regulatory determinations on energy and climate change adopted by different public administrations in recent years. The primary actions have focused on improving the thermal enclosure of buildings; the placement of new energy-efficien...

The BIM methodology has been used as a project design and development system within the construction sector for several years. Today's architects, but especially future architects, have to adapt to this technology in order to respond to the current job market. In this context, the studies that leading to the Degree in Architecture must implement th...

In 1957, Viviendas Municipales de Bilbao made a call for ideas to build several blocks of houses in the suburb of Deusto, Bilbao (Martínez 1999). The organisation of the district had been defined earlier by the General Plan of Urban Management of Bilbao (1946). With respect to plot 26, where the Pedro Astigarraga housing complex would be built, the...

In the field of construction a change is taking place. The architectural project, its development system and the way in which the different agents are going to participate in the construction process will be transformed. The reason is the bursting into a new methodology based on digital technology: the BIM methodology. The traditional paradigm of t...

The emergence of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology in the design, generation, maintenance and data management of any type of building has meant the most important advance in decades in the construction sector. Moreover, current European and Spanish regulations require its mandatory use. In this context, the university degree stud...

The final result of an architectural experiment, especially in terms of public collective housing, not only responds to the will and creativity of the architects, and to the adoption of canonic models, but it also depends on the specific circumstances of the place where the housing was built. This work examines three residential blocks, built along...

Bearing in mind that dwellings generate a high environmental impact, the aim of this research is to improve their energy efficiency. The incorporation of an insulating layer in the extrados of the building envelope is the most effective way of reducing the transmittance of a facade, eliminating thermal bridges, and optimizing its energy consumption...

Durante los años cincuenta, a partir de que Le Corbusier diera a conocer el proyecto de l’Unité d’Habitation de Marsella, surgió una nueva manera de concebir y materializar la arquitectura mediante el llamado “hormigón crudo” o béton brut. Este nuevo estilo, basado en la simplicidad y honestidad en el empleo del material, se expandió por todo el mu...

Tras la promulgación de la Ley del Suelo (1956) y durante un ciclo que habría de durar cerca de veinte años, fueron construidas las primeras torres residenciales en el territorio de Gipuzkoa. Del estudio de una serie de casos representativos, se obtiene que los arquitectos guipuzcoanos ensayaron en ellas una serie de soluciones específicas, caracte...

Los cambios normativos derivados de la aprobación de la Ley 8/2013 de Rehabilitación, Regeneración y Renovación Urbana van a suponer un antes y un después en los habituales modos de plantear los procesos de reforma de los bloques de vivienda colectiva. El artículo analiza las consecuencias de dichos cambios en el ámbito de la obligada rehabilitació...

In the nineteenth century, there was a battle between union organization from the former regime, and the Academy, whose Architecture Section did not let up until architecture get free of the Baroque Style. The case of the houses of Lete and Saratsaga is an example of this. Hemeretzigarren mendean, gudua ematen zen arkitekturaren eremuan: alde bate...

In the early nineteenth century, the practice of the architecture in Spain had to be regulated by the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the institution which was responsible for the approval of all projects of public initiative. There was a battle between union organization from the former regime, and the Academy, whose Architecture Section...

Será a principios del siglo XX cuando las patentes de construcción con hormigón armado se vayan difundiendo por toda Europa. Los concesionarios de Hennebique y Monier coparan un porcentaje alto de las construcciones con este material a nivel mundial. Pero en la misma época se irán registrando otras patentes derivadas de éstas que incluirán un fals...

Material artifizial baten kalitateak garaiz garai duen bilakaerak ez luke atzerakadarik izan behar. Garapen teknologikoak eta erabileraren jarraipenak bermatu beharko lukete kalitatearen hobekuntza, baldin eta egia balitz teknologiak eta zientziak, bide beretik, norabide berean eta abiadura berarekin egiten dutela beti aurrera. Alabaina, gertaera s...

Bi auzik eragingo diote datozen urteotan eraikiriko ondarearen birgaitze energetikoari: aurretiko eraikin eta bizitetxeen gainean energia-kontsumoa murrizteko helburuz esku hartzeko beharra, batetik, eta eraikiriko arkitektura-ondarea zaintzeko beharra, bestetik. Esku-hartze eta birgaitze-estrategiek, baina, energia-kontsumoaren murrizketa beste he...

L´architecture résidentielle des années soixante, constitue le plus fidèle témoignage de l´époque de la croissance, vécue en Europe lors du dernier tiers du XX siècle. La révolution dont fut objet le logement collectif s´étendit à l´urbanisme, la typologie et la construction en général, apportant une telle nouveauté que cela demanda à la société bi...

Uno de los problemas más importantes a nivel mundial de nuestro tiempo es el problema energético y la incidencia de éste en el medio ambiente. Entre todas las comunidades internacionales ha sido la UE la que ha tomado la iniciativa para intentar solucionar este problema, y el sector de la construcción ha sido el primero en ser señalado como corresp...

The evolution of the quality of an artificial material in subsequent periods should not present setbacks. Technological development and monitoring the execution should ensure a favourable outcome in quality. However, socioeconomic and political forces can distort the course of this evolution, making it impossible for a linear reading; serving as an...

A new concept appeared in the field of precast concrete in the early 1960s: the architectural precast concrete panel. Unlike the first panels produced in post-war Europe, the architectural panel would be subject to an architect's specific design, not subject to contractors' patents, and applied to both singular, bespoke projects and large commercia...

60etako etxebizitza arkitekturak ezaugarri eta ñabardura bereziak hartu zituen han eta hemen, Europa mendebaldeko herrialde guztietan; etxebizitza arkitektura da, hain zuzen ere, hazkunde garai hartako lekukorik zintzoena. Garaiko arkitektoek, aspaldiko etxebizitza-ereduek balio ez zutela sinetsita eta mende erdialdera eskuratu baliabide berriak la...

Toda construcción se caracteriza, entre otros, por su comportamiento energético. Cada uno de los sistemas constructivos que conviven en nuestras ciudades presenta un régimen energético particular. Sirvan como ejemplo 5 tipos arquitectónicos integrados en un mismo conjunto urbano: el ensanche de Gros.
