Dali Square by Night

Felipe II Avenue, more known as Dali square is an urban project work of the architect Francisco Mangado... A big urban void linking the Madrid's sports palace with Alcala street, by the night it fills of light and at some late hours it's really desert and silent, hard to find in big cities...

Madrid, Los Mayores Primero...

Madrid, Los Mayores Primero... Is something like In Madrid, Older people First...
Cities are complex 'beings' growing and transforming constantly, in metropolis as Madrid, Paris, London, or Milan (the one with most older people living on it in Europe) the amount of elder (over 65) is growing every day (around 19% of Madrid's population) and it becomes necessary to have plans for them too...

This initiative parts from the town hall, giving tele-assistance, elder centers, day centers, transportation (like the ones in the photo), and a lot of other services...

What a better way of say "thanks" to the ones that before help Madrid to be what it became...

The complex of buildings were built in the first quarter of the xx century and are now a cultural space, open to every kind of activities... Some parts of the complex are still in rehabilitation... still waiting for the architecture museum, but well...

Downhill Moyano's Coast...

Is not very frequent to see people riding bicycles downtown Madrid, not because is all up and down, but because is kind of dangerous... theres no cycleways and Cars just don't look...

¿¡LIBRARY or BREWERY!?

The old "El Aguila" brewery (built in the beginning of the xx century) was re-converted not many years ago in the

regional archive and library, a modern and functional building, by the architects Mansilla + Tuñon.

The result is an interaction between 'past' and 'future', the city changes, grows, adapts... to new needs, to new challenges...
