New housing projects to regenerate the neighbourhood

Abstract

This paper examines different academic proposals of residential housing. These projects have been realized by the students of Architecture School of Valladolid under the coordination of their professors Eusebio Alonso, Valeriano Sierra and others during the year 2015-2016. The area of the intervention is located in La Victoria, a neighborhood on the periphery of Valladolid. It is an urban empty whose persistence, after more than 30 years, today is an opportunity. In the current neighborhood the new houses buildings coexist with the obsolete urban structures, built during the original industrial and rural settlements. We have explored the ability of resilience of the current situation of the planning in the neighborhood. Given the fragility of the architectural context of the district we have studied typological alternatives and morphological transformations for renewing the urban scenery.
