| Resumo: | [EN] Twenty of these housing units were new constructions and three were part of the restoration of an existing building initially scheduled for demolition which originally dated from the 16th century but had been repeatedly transformed over the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. The preliminary study carried out for the restoration of this existing building and the project for the twenty adjoining new housing units offered the key points for the reinterpretation of the city's built fabric. This reinterpretation of the constructed grammar of the local buildings was more filters was not an impediment to the introduction of ample common spaces and terraces for the housing, the controlled introduction of solar capture to the heart of the building or the creation of crossventilation into the housing to prevent the use of air conditioning in summer and much of the heating in winter in the warm Mediterranean climate of the city of Valencia. In addition, in the restoration of the historic building attempts were made to transform it into merely another phase of its life without eliminating prior phases, and joining the ranks of transformations from the 16th century to our days. |
