The project involves the regeneration of the quarter Tercio y Terol of Madrid and the creation of a new zone with 1,500 new dwellings. After a thorough analysis of the current condition of the neighborhood, the main problems are diagnosed and the proposal stage begins.

 

The first is the trace of a new urban structure that join the district with the town from three interventions: the redevelopment and reconstruction of the old neighborhood, rehabilitation and redevelopment of historic axis of Tercio y Terol, and the redefinition of park boundary of San Isidro.

 

For new dwellings, the relationship between public space and parceled space is around 50% each. The density is increased, making the proposal more cost-effective and a parceled space more controlled, giving more clearity, and allowing more freedom for the building. The road traffic is carried to the perimeter, leaving the center as a pedestrian path. Continuous urban form is proposed in order to achieve a great formal rotundity. The blocks open to the street, giving the public space higher visual quality under a green perspective background.

 

It aims to achieve an image of unity and chorality, giving the impression of a unitary district in which there is a large formal rotundity while respecting the existing. The urban space becomes a continuous image, in which both the vegetation and street furniture pavement are maintained with the same criteria throughout the field, varying certain singular points to provide a unique character to certain areas where required.

 

The public spaces like squares are presented as unique elements that respond to the particular place in which found, and relate directly each with an endowment. Wooded areas that produce shaded in summer, and water points in the floor which serve both as child’s playground and cool places in summer are proposed in these spaces.
