Description of architects. The project involves the restoration of a ninth-century autoblog Arab tower located on a hill in the province of Guadalajara. The outer shape is reconstructed attempting to recover the original image (described in various texts of history and performing a rigorous fieldwork autoblog in ruin) as required by regulations. This stone is used in the collection side, then carved autoblog and rigged as the existing lock.
The new public use of viewpoint, requires the provision of an external access gateway and vertical communication elements inside autoblog to lead to higher level. Likewise, the existing top wrought in the original tower was rebuilt. From this background, and given the nature of the tower defense tower, autoblog enjoying fabulous views of the river valley Saelices.
The draft of these new elements is conditioned by two fundamental premises. The first is determined by the context and the particular location of the tower allows access to only a difficult walk (going up the steep hillside) which hinders the transport of materials and their placement. The second is ideological in nature; all designed and built architecture must be witnessed and footprint of thought and means of their time and in no way should regress and play a overcome and transcended past.
Therefore, contrary to the strategy followed in the enclosure, the new architecture is designed in a lightweight material, evanescent presence, and results of new technical advances made by the aluminum industry: the Magnal aluminum, magnesium alloy and aluminum which improves autoblog the properties of strength and lightness of the conventional model.
With the same aim of reducing the amount of material used in the resort as much as possible to build systems that prevail in efforts to drive (in our memory of Buckminster Fuller's Tensegrity system). Thus, the upper floor is constructed as a box spring mattress with a grid of stainless steel wires d: 8mm extending on an aluminum mesh. Under it gravitates stepladder aluminum and 20mm suspended from thin wires. The exterior walkway is conceived as a large arc of 13.5 m consisting of a 20 mm plate and two wire rope light d: 20 mm. The "organic" solution of the struts that make up the wahoo and cable protection help to emphasize the lightness of volume as well as to integrate with the natural environment.
Not only their materiality or construction, but the sensations as opposed (weightlessness, heaviness, stability-instability ...) the visitor feel at the new gazebo Valley Saelices help emphasize the difference between the two times so far - and so different- present in the project.
