Nuevas viviendas en Roma: un reto para los arquitectos ABDR/New housing in Rome: a challenge for ABDR architects

NEW HOUSING IN ROME: A CHALLENGE FOR ABDR ARCHITECTS My paper investigates a design of new housing built in Rome with an innovative international competition that involves the construction companies to invest in public-private housing. These buildings are constructed as a replacement of some buildings in Rome in 2000 were going to collapse. The emergence of the reconstruction was well understood by the municipality that has made it an opportunity to upgrade the entire district, through a competition of demolition and reconstruction of the housing. In 2006, won the competition a group of companies together with the important Italian study ABDR. The new buildings partially reconstruct the spaces demolished, so that the people when they return to homes they can find the familiarity of previous accommodation. Of the 104 new apartments are intended for evicted families, 10 owned by the municipality and 46 to the construction company of which form the profit. The reconstructed buildings have a high architectural quality and an energy saving system. Key words: residential, urban planning, social housing

NUEVAS VIVIENDAS EN ROMA: UN RETO PARA LOS ARQUITECTOS ABDR Mi trabajo trata del diseño de las nuevas viviendas construidas en Roma con una competencia internacional innovadora que involucra a las empresas constructoras a invertir en residencias públicas y privadas. Estos edificios son construidos en sustitución a algunos edificios de Roma que en año 2000 iban a ser derruidos. La urgencia de la reconstrucción fue acogida por el ayuntamiento que ha dado una oportunidad re recalificación para todo el barrio, a través de un concurso de demolición y reconstrucción de las residencias. En el año 2006 venció el concurso un grupo de empresas unidos con el importante estudio italiano ABDR. Los nuevos edificios reconstruyen en parte los espacios demolidos, de modo que las personas cuando regresan a sus hogares pueden encontrar la familiaridad de alojamiento previo. De los 104 nuevos apartamentos están pensados para familias desalojadas, 10 propiedad del Ayuntamiento y 46 para la empresa constructora de la cual se benefician. Los edificios reconstruidos tienen una alta calidad arquitectónica y un sistema de ahorro de energía.
