La singularidad de la docencia de la construcción en los últimos cursos de Arquitectura reside en que se manejan conceptos que ya vienen estudiados de cursos anteriores, y en estas últimas asignaturas se le impregna de un carácter más técnico y sobre todo direccionado a la práctica profesional del arquitecto. Ésta se subdivide en dos...

"…La creatividad, nacida conjuntamente de las necesidades materiales y, espirituales, de la complicidad entre técnicas e ideas. Es, al fin, ese complejo equilibrio, fácil o imposible, sin el que la arquitectura no puede ser calificada de tal." Rafael de La‐Hoz, (1975) 1 En la primera mitad del siglo XX, cuando las circunstancias sociales en...

This article focuses on the comparison between the Spanish architects de La Hoz (Madrid,1924) and José María García de Paredes (Seville, 1924) projects for 'ultra-cheap' housing in Cordoba,how it evolved from a British patent named Ctesiphon, and the study of some of existing building serected following this construction system. The aim of...

The main objective of the present investigation is to develop a new building material, a polymeric mortar (PM), that we have named Polialbero, after the words Polymer and Albero (a rare and special rock). The Albero natural aggregates used always came from the same kind of crushed or sifted rock: the row material came form a quarry under...

En este artículo los autores analizan los materiales compuestos desde el punto de vista de sus aplicaciones en el campo de la construcción. Se realiza un recorrido por los diferentes aspectos definitorios de los mismos: conceptos, tipos y características de cada uno de sus componentes, para, a continuación, desde un punto de vista práctico,...

As a large proportion of housing stock does not meet the current demands for energy and comfort (leading to high levels of obsolescence and vulnerability), the annual rate of energy upgrades for the existing stock must be increased. The AURA Strategy is an intervention methodology which focuses on the regeneration of neighbourhoods or obsolete...

This study identifies and proposes A GIS-based exploration of the relationships between aspect ratio of inner courtyards, porosity of the urban fabric and the climatic factors where it is located. To perform that comparison, morphological and measurement methods have been used to delineate spatial boundaries of urban densification. This...

Composite materials made from organic matrices are generally combustible. It is necessary to determine in each case their behaviour under fire and determine whether they fulfil the requirements of the applicable standards in order to match each material to each specific application. Polyester polymer mortar is a material that provides much...

In recent times, teaching in higher education has undergone a significant transformation. Current advances and innovative proposals in educational science research are centred around a transdisciplinary approach, the so-called integrated curriculum and the incorporation of the transversal concept of sustainability....
