¿¡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

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

Four meter forty of housing



Looking for sites for a competition I am working in I found this gable roofed house. It is built in a suburbian environment and seems to be conform to the local urbanistic laws. Looks strange, doesn't it?
