El aprendizaje de la construcción arquitectónica a partir de los contenidos procedimentales y actitudinales
La singularidad de la docencia de la construcción en los últimos cursos
de Arquitectura reside en que se manejan conceptos que ya vienen estudiados
de cursos anteriores, y en estas últimas asignaturas se le
impregna de un carácter más técnico y sobre todo direccionado a la
práctica profesional del arquitecto. Ésta se subdivide en dos ámbitos
muy diferenciados y estimulantes. Es en el estudio donde se proyecta
y diseña lo que se va a construir, para posteriormente, en obra, llevar
a cabo ese proceso constructivo con el arquitecto como director, y el
proyecto como guía. La experiencia de innovación docente realizada
en Construcción 6, de 5º curso en la ETSA de Sevilla tuvo como objetivo
motivar a los estudiantes y poner en sus manos una metodología de
análisis y toma de decisiones para aplicarla en la dirección de la obra
Urban regeneration through retroftting social housing: the AURA 3.1 prototype
As a large proportion of housing stock does not meet the current demands for energy
and comfort (leading to high levels of obsolescence and vulnerability), the annual rate
of energy upgrades for the existing stock must be increased. The AURA Strategy is an
intervention methodology which focuses on the regeneration of neighbourhoods or
obsolete urban fabrics which sufer from high levels of architectural, urban and socioeconomic vulnerability. Within this context, the AURA 3.1 prototype was developed for
the Solar Decathlon Europe 2019 Competition. The project was based around a sustainable
construction strategy for the urban regeneration of obsolete residential neighbourhoods,
through the reuse of existing buildings considering Mediterranean climate and energy. The
Poligono San Pablo neighbourhood was chosen as the case study. This article presents the
main retroft action: the juxtaposition on the existing building of a structural-architectural
system which provides new technological and spatial features. Quantitative data regarding
the validity and efectiveness of the AURA Strategy could be collected from the monitoring
of the Pavilion prototype during the competition. Two frst prizes were won in contests
with on-site measurements: Comfort conditions and House Functioning. Third place was
also obtained in the Sustainability contest, thus confrming the enormous possibilities the
AURA Strategy has for sustainable urban regeneration in retroftting social housing, within
the limitations of the competition
A ferrocement patent for emergency housing: the technological hut
This article focuses on the comparison between the Spanish architects de La Hoz (Madrid,1924) and José María García de Paredes (Seville, 1924) projects for ‘ultra-cheap’ housing in Cordoba,how it evolved from a British patent named Ctesiphon, and the study of some of existing building serected following this construction system. The aim of this article is to stablish the evolution of the system from the original patent into a new possibility for low-income social housing. This system was used to erect new developments in the 1950s that would relocate people living in huts during thedictatorship era in Spain, thus new “technological huts” were proposed and erected. The research process includes an analysis of the documents and literature available of the patent and the projects themselves, and in situ tests (infrared thermography and samples extraction) will allow to establish the relation between its original inventor, the dissemination of his works in publications from thatera, and the Spanish company that subsequently, as a concession of the original patent, introduced that system in Spanish architecture. Analysis of the original patent document allows to study the primitive system as it was invented and for what uses it was conceived. Thus, such a methodology supports an establishment of the technical innovations achieved in order to adapt the system to the Andalusian environment at that time and its use for housin
Correlations between GIS-Based Urban Building Densification Analysis and Climate Guidelines for Mediterranean Courtyards
This study identifies and proposes A GIS-based exploration of the relationships between aspect ratio of inner courtyards, porosity of the urban fabric and the climatic factors where it is located. To perform that comparison, morphological and measurement methods have been used to delineate spatial boundaries of urban densification. This methodology has been applied to a case study in Spain, where regulation establishes several climatic zones. Examples of cities in these zones have been examined to establish possible correlations. This paper analyses the particularities of these different urban scenarios, considering the effects of climate on the real urban densification. The purpose of this study is to find a relationship between the historical inner courtyards dimensions and the climate of the zone where they are located. In order to frame the real thermal behaviour of the inner courtyard in the context of the vernacular typologies studied, a representative sample of inner courtyards has been selected. The monitoring data presented allow quantifying the courtyard’s ability to temper the maximum temperature values
Student competitions as a learning method with a sustainable focus in higher education: the University of Seville “Aura Projects” in the “Solar Decathlon 2019”
In recent times, teaching in higher education has undergone a significant transformation.
Current advances and innovative proposals in educational science research are centred around a
transdisciplinary approach, the so-called integrated curriculum and the incorporation of the
transversal concept of sustainability. In summary, the so-called learning processes through
problem-solving. The Solar Decathlon Competition is
the most prestigious international university
student competition for sustainable habitat. The aim of this article is to show how the
Aura Strategy,
developed by the University of Seville Solar Deca
thlon Team to participate in the Solar Decathlon
2019 Latin America and Europe competitions, is aligned with the
aforementioned proposals. Among
the results, the generation of a transforming teaching network of the departmental structures in the
University of Seville is to be highlighted. These transformations in teaching lead students to new,
broader and more holistic approaches to study, as
well as new capabilities and skills. The question
of interdisciplinarity requires new tools and research lines to achieve successful implementation in
higher education, and the participation in the Solar Decathlon Competition is one of the
Fire tests on polyester polymer mortars
Composite materials made from organic matrices are generally combustible. It is necessary to determine in each case their behaviour under
fire and determine whether they fulfil the requirements of the applicable standards in order to match each material to each specific application. Polyester polymer mortar is a material that provides much better mechanical characteristics than traditional mortars but one of its weak points is fire reaction, in this paper, fire reaction of a particular polyester polymer mortar is determined based on Spanish standards, in order to establish its suitability as a coating and cladding material for building constructio
Methodology for the characterization of building envelope: Virgen del Carmen Group at Valencia
[EN] This communication is developed within the activities of the project funded by the Valencian Regional Government “The heritage consideration of the social Modern Movement’s public housing. The Virgen del Carmen group, revitalization, and energetic updating (MOMOvivso). In this project, a Modern Movement heritage social housing research is proposed to progress in the preservation of this architecture. Accordingly, a methodological model is made and applied to Valencia’s 614 housing estate, placed in the suburb zone named “El Cabañal”. This residential complex was designed by the architects Fernando M. García-Ordóñez and Juan M. Dexeus Beatty, and it was built between 1958 and 1962. It was developed under the new social housing regulatory framework, which considers different configurations, as well as new constructive techniques, aimed at standardizing the quality of their systems and components and improving the dwelling’s indoor comfort.The present communication is a summary of the analysis process leading to ideation of a comprehensive methodology for the buildings envelope characterization which has been performed under the referred regulatory framework and applied to different types of buildings. For this purpose, three action lines have been proposed: analysis of documentation and contemporary regulations, an inspection report with the visits carried out, and the envelope non-destructive testing.Roa-Fernández, J.; Galán-Marín, C.; Rivera-Gómez, C.; Palomares-Figueres, MT.; Sola Caraballo, J.

El Análisis de la Arquitectura Tradicional como base para el Diseño Aplicado: Proyecto DATEC. Arquitectura del Rojo
Póster presentado en la sesión dedicada a Ámbitos, Innovación y Calidad, en las IV Jornadas Internacionales sobre Investigación en Arquitectura y Urbanismo.La Arquitectura Tradicional Andaluza se contempla como objeto de estudio en un proyecto de I+D+I dirigido y promovido por la fundación SURGENIA (Centro Tecnológico Andaluz del Diseño) y denominado DATEC: "Espacios innovadores pensados para el usuario y basados en el concepto de vida andaluza". El análisis trata de identificar aquellos invariantes que, por su valor cultural, calidad estética, nivel medioambiental y riqueza etnográfica, mejor identifiquen lo andaluz en el terreno de la arquitectura anónima tradicional de la región. Dado el tipo de investigación, esta implica una amplitud del espectro y una pluridisciplinaridad en el análisis: documental, antropológico, ambiental, constructivo, material y semántico.Rivera Gómez, C.; Rodríguez García, R.; Ponce Ortiz De Insagurbe, M.; González Serrano, A.; Roa Fernández, J.
