LA INCREIBLE HISTORIA DEL TEMPORERO QUE ENCONTRÓ EN ALMENDRALEJO SU HOGAR

2021
Team point of view
The project creates an itinerary from the arrival of the seasonal workers to Almendralejo until its consolidation within the town. This materialises in two proposals. The equipped green corridors connect the centre with San José and intensify its complexity with a landscape of Contemporary Chimneys. The Social Condenser Typology recycles the Marques housing by a social management focused on seasonal workers and offers them temporal accommodation and public services in three phases: Arrival, Development and Consolidation. The implementation is based on the renovation of the existing thanks to a modular system of interchangeable housing types with a clean industrial image that combines abstraction from popular architecture and contemporary lattices with multicultural patterns.

Jury Point of View
The jury appreciates the depth of the analysis: underlying the well-intentioned image transmitted by the illustrated story is the conviction that such a profound regeneration cannot be undertaken without previously setting the guidelines for a public participation process to facilitate the study of the systemic shortfalls from different perspectives, and address the numerous social, political, spatial and building implications of the project. Good relevance of the time variable for maturing effective solutions, the implementation of an accompaniment process for the gradual integration of the foreign-born population.
