Mecanoo architecten, dosmasunoarquitectos - Ignacio Borrego, Néstor Montenegro and Lina Toro. Málaga housing block. Spain
June 25, 2010
This project modifies the closed block with a large inner patio due to urban planning regulations and introduces volumetric variations to the insubstantial landscape of this future expansion of Malaga. The inner patio is broken up into smaller patios, thus taking on the local practice of these reduced community spaces protected from the sun. Its relationship with vernacular architecture is shown in the use of traditional Andalusian architectural materials on the facade. Unfortunately, in the area of housing typology, strict public regulations hardly allow innovation and impose very conventional models which do not resolve issues of other types of family groupings or lifestyles.
