 OBJECTIVE OF THE COMPETITION

The architecture requires the understanding and interpretation of

new demands that will allow us to act locally on a global scale,
from an interactive action that requires being the agent of change
withinthe complexity paradigm.

 COMPETITION RULES
The competition will assess:
1. Cross-cutting scales: Interventions in the territory operating on different scales
and capable of regenerating and/or transforming beyond the site where placed. It
will be considered the influence of these decisions at a global scale:
environmentally, socially and economically.
2. Multidisciplinary: Integration of knowledge and skills resulting from additional
disciplines for launching an increasingly complex reality. The description of
different disciplines that have been influenced in the project will be considered.
3. Interactivity: Working in open networks, using new technologies as an
interaction opportunity to allow participative ways to make problems diagnosis,
the generation of solutions and its implementation and development. Positive
assessment will be given to open data collection.
4. Horizontality: Complicity and implication of multiple agents of diverse origins
and operative cultures: Public Administration, Universities, Industry, professional
collectives, city associations, etc. Actions needed at a public, privante, productive
and know-how level to make the project feasable will be
analyzed in detail.
5. Innovation: In order to face new challenges in terms of strong dynamic
transformations: management, financing, building, resources, waste,
maintenance, time reduction, flexibility and adaptability, image, etc. Ideas linked to
management and financing needed for projects lifecycle will also be considered.
This competition intends to involve proposals developed in the university area -
stimulating the transformation- for dealing with the architecture project from five
requirements previously described: it goes after an answer, or an advance of it at
the question:

 MADRID BIOCLIMATRIC STRATEGIES

On buildings:

There are many cold moths. We need sunshine on

facades and on public spaces.
There is a huge temperature interval between day
and night temperatures. (17 C on agoust) .
It is need indoor ventilation on june, july and august.
All overtures looking south and west must be sun
protected.
There is more thermal comfort on mornings than on
afternoons, all year round, bust specially on summer

On open spaces:
It is required an appropiate outdoor microclimate, with:
sun, wind South-West proteccion and decidious trees
for winter conditions
shadow, water evaporation, trees and vegetacion,
for summer conditions
