En el contexto del centenario de la Villa Savoye (1928-1930), uno de los grandes iconos de la modernidad, esta investigación original pretende completar las de otros autores que han analizado suficientemente, tanto el proceso de proyecto, como el desarrollo de las obras. La novedad que ahora se ofrece en abierto, es una restitucion a 1:20 del estado as built de la casa, tal como estaba cuando se termino en 1930. Esto se realiza en el marco de: 1) un estudio comparativo de la planimetria anterior a las primeras intervenciones, 2) el analisis de las fotografias coetaneas a la obra, 3) un modelo tridimensional de estructura-cerramiento, y 4) la definicion formal de sistemas constructivos e instalaciones. Todo ello se aborda desde un prisma proyectual, aunq ...

La dinámica histórica de las comarcas alicantinas entre los siglos XI y XV favoreció que nuestras montañas se erizaran de castillos y torres en una época en que estas tierras eran un disputado territorio de fronteras fluctuantes como parte del Sarq alAndalus, primero, y de las coronas de Aragon y Castilla, despues. Una vez perdida su funcion militar, estas fortificaciones y torres fueron victimas del abandono durante siglos, y no fue hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX que se empezo a reivindicar su enorme valor patrimonial. En los ultimos años, muchas han sido recuperadas y adaptadas para la visita, incluso se han habilitado como continente de exposiciones u otros usos. Esto las ha convertido en un patrimonio unico de gran interes que, con una planific ...
