| PRESENTATION | CURRENT TASKS | SEMINARS | CONTACT | |||||||||||
| The a-PROJECT is registered
inside the activities of the Projects Department of the ETSAM ( Technical School of Madrid
for Advanced Studies in Architecture ), as a SEMINAR in which different research tracks
are to be developed on the subject of spatial flexibility in housing and on its study. The main research is directed and tutored, respectively, by the following professors: Jesus Bermejo Goday, and Jose Miguel de Prada Poole. At present, the members of the research group are the following architects: J.M.Reyes Gonzalez // F.Mokhtar Noriega // R. Perera Rodriguez |
1. DATABASES FOR S.3c
HOUSING 2.DATABASES FOR RESEARCH CENTERS. 3.DATABASES FOR COMPONENT BRANDS. 4.METHODOLOGY (of control over the domestic space. ) Room-inhabitant interactive processes. 5.COLLABORATION: Transfer of information between universities- research centers- and companies. 6.SUGGESTIONS: Attention and response to the interested |
Seminar for the development of the activities which stem from the ALPHAPROJECT.
The goal is that these tasks, which are enumerated in the research areas section, serve to catalyze the work of scholarship holders, thesis writers, or the collaboration with other entities. The activities include: classes, outside invitations, interdisciplinary collaborations, discussion tables, work groups |

| The type of architecture that is suggested by the cases that are exhibited here surges from the use of certain industrial materials in the pursuit of some specific spatial intentions. The abbreviation "S.3c" corresponds to the following | In order to create this class of "open mecanos", the compatibility of their components must be made possible. This is not only valid for technical compatibility (like in materials norms, coordinated dimensions, or assembling possibilities); but also in the creation of spatial systems which facilitate the assembly and the construction, and which lead to acceptable spatial results. | If to what has already been said we add the goal that the presently available construction technology not only satisfy certain market conditions; but that it also make the housing more comfortable and habitable for its inhabitants, we will be getting close to an architecture with a certain level of flexibility , given its great ease in substitution and in assembling: it is a really domestic environment. | For more

| The meaning of the word "industrial component" (According to the I.S.O. and the "Groupe d’études et de recherches des industries de l’architecture") is defined as: products which are made in the form of different units in order to take part in the construction of a building , and which immediately after being installed fulfill their functional use. | From the use of these components according to the catalogue and taking into consideration different brands, it is possible to create construction systems which respond to another concept which is important in these applications: that of " Open industrialization" | The cases that are collected here manage to make real the desires of the Pioneers of S.XX with respect to the manufacturing in series on one hand, and to the possibilities of variation on another. That way, an urban fabric which is scaled simultaneously to the individual and the collective needs is made possible. | La presente WWW. esta actualizada . el 2 / 2 / 2000 |
