Description:
The project series documents the competition entry a plan of the Sagüés promenade, located at gates of Ulía park in San Sebastián, Spain. Abalos & Herreros and Renata Sentkiewicz drafted a study and proposal for the plan of the Sagüés promenade, located at gates of Ulía park in San Sebastián, Spain. The firm identified the project as number 165. The architects described their project as “[…] a place where […] [the urban and the natural] landscapes […] meet. Under a green roof a winter beach, thermal installations and the groundfloor [sic] of a hotel are combined. Five towers rise through this roof with different uses: hotel, social housing, and the ‘Gallery of Wonders’ […]. A passageway curls up around them, connecting the towers by an impactant [sic] skywalk […]” (ARCH270975). Documenting the project are conceptual, presentation and design development drawings, correspondence, project descriptions, notes, reports, resumes, and reference, photographic and digital materials.

Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the international competition “Jubilee-Gardens” for the reorganization of the Southbank in London, England. Abalos & Herreros worked with an international team and the firm's entry was a finalist in the competition. The firm identified this project as number 139. “The competition programme asked for a new center for London. A center which would be perceived as a global icon. Comparing the statement with analogue enclaves showed that the Southbank was very small for such ambition, especially because of the fact that the project had to let as much metropolitan space open as possible. This forced to investigate how to enlarge the site. The problem was resolved by connecting adjacent areas in three levels. The original conditions and the programme offered a diverse mix of urban and natural elements: history, entertainment, culture, open spaces, the Thames… from where the conquest of the adjacent areas, the sub terrain and the margins of a linked event starts.” (ARCH270975) Documenting the project are conceptual and design development drawings, photographic and reference materials, notes, competition documents, and correspondence.

[...] Also the Congress Centre fill fair's core, the communication and leisure place with its small group of people's geometry. The project tries to compose these three pieces in a unique coherent group in its differences and resemblances, able to create a place with a clear sense: Leon’s Fair." Documenting the project are presentation drawings, project descriptions, competition documents, cartographic, graphic and reference materials, correspondence, specifications and publications.

The competition was organised by the Algeciras City Council. The firm identified this project as number 123. “The project attempts to express, with an architectural gesture, the beauty of the geography of Algeciras: the bay, the port, the Rock and the Straits of Gibraltar, the proximity of Ceuta and Africa, the cork-oak forests that surround the town. For this [Abalos & Herreros] propose a building that, from a single body, opens out into two towers from one great public viewing platform. This form has strategic holes giving onto the more notable topographical features, establishing a physical relationship with them, while the section is organized as a gradient of privacy that increases with height. The competition […] proposed a mixed programme in a posture parallel to the great avenue of the harbour of Algeciras. An evanescent building apparently fragile appears to let one being stimulated by the effects of the climate and the atmospheric phenomenons with an appearance changing with the function of the hours of the day or the season. Its layered section attends ascending to the different landscapes of the city: first public space, second the cities skyline and at last the 360° horizon rising above the city.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros worked with Ángel Jaramillo, Renata Sentkiewicz, Jakob Hense.
