Multifunctional public building Administrative equipment, Arona, Spain Colaboration with Francisco Arques Soler Summer 2011 The object of the competition is to design a Multifunctional Administrative Building that hosts the offices of various public administrations in Arona. A building that besides being a landmark for the city creates a model of flexibility, accessibility and energy efficiency. The geographical location of Arona gives it a mild, moderate climate any time of year. With average temperatures ranging between 17 and 18 degrees in winter and 28 to 30 in summer. Climatic conditions that have made us wonder how to insert a building in this city. How to build in a place with such specific climatic conditions? or How to set the indoor / outdoor relationship? With these basic parameters, the solution we propose for this competition is to create a translucent, transparent, lightweight, flexible building with a facade that can regulate light and heat in a good space designed for work. A shell as a brise-soleil, thermally systematizes direct sunlight and create a habitable atmosphere. A mechanism that works as a regulator device for sunlight and, at the same time gives each of the building spaces different natures. The light is filtered in south street facade General Franco; a light sift protection to the west, street facade Crist贸bal Col贸n; and captures the northern light in its street facade Monta帽a Chica.
