| Summary: | The HIFRENSA settlement is a residential complex built to accommodate workers of Vandellòs-I nuclear power plant. It also has a number of facilities at neighbourhood scale. The set is connected by pedestrian crossings with public squares and road scheme in cul-de-sac. In 1967 Antonio Bonet was commissioned to build the settlement, the administrative offices and other technical buildings on nuclear power plant site . The thesis exposes Bonet as architect researcher. At HIFRENSA settlement, a clear line between architecture and urbanism cannot be drawn. Bonet searches an universal solution. with a type or pattern definition as an element liable to be improved, refined, systematized and prefabricated. The pattern can mutate either to accommodate a construction system or for another needs, topographic, climatic or programmatic. Particularly in Bonet’s work, also to meet a higher requirement: its urban planning support. The greatest difficulty lies on the definition of an order judgment that can give a higher shape to the units, dwellings or facilities , with the intention of avoiding a monotonous urban complex and lack of identity. |
