Introduction to the studio In the Landmark studio we dissect existing buildings via anatomy, exposing the basic elements that define the building or an ensemble. A Landmark exists by virtue of its environment; its ‘raison d’etre’ has to be comprehended before analysing the building itself. Through their specific location, function and distinct architecture, Landmarks have become meaningful and recognizable. The city around has changed, but the building has remained and solidified its meaning. The studio promotes broad speculation, independent thinking, collective work with the aim of positioning architecture into a broader social, cultural, political, and economic context. Students perform a thorough urban research in order to understand the area’s history and context, and to identify the Landmarks that could become catalyst for intervention. The research zooms in from the large scale of the city itself, to the medium scale the site, to the small scale of the building. The resulting data is organized into a comprehensive research book. This research book serves as basis for the argumentation of the design brief by the students, which on its turn is leading for the indidividual proposals. We examined the rise of the European skyscraper. How did a building type, which originates from financial and technological developments in de US, become an emblem of prosperity for the modern capital across the Atlantic? We focused on a site in Madrid which is an important node in the city and for decades has had an impact on the skyline. Studying Madrid in general is relevant since estimations predict that the city will grow substantially to become the most dense European city by the year 2025. The studio work has to be seen within the context of this future growth which faces the given site with certain challenges such as density, uses, adaptation and its image within the city. North of the center, along the Paseo de la Castellana, lies the multi layered AZCA complex. It is bordered by the football stadium Santiago Bernabeau and Nuevos Ministerios. AZCA was conceived in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s as the new business district responding to the overcrowded old center. During the ‘80‘s some remarkable skyscrapers have been built and for a long time it was concidered the ‘Manhattan of Madrid’. Alas, the monofunctional program, labyrinthic internal spaces and hidden infrastructure have led to a problematic area during non-office hours. As an uban entity it isolates itself from the otherwise lively city around. The question is how via a redesign of the towers that mark AZCA, a more dynamic and integrated complex can be created.

MORPHOLOGY

CITY SCALE

Madrid metropolitan area

This study concerns the morphology of Madrid, in three crucial scales, from mega to micro developments: Municipality - Paseo de la Castellana - AZCA. It is an attempt to understand the impact of history, culture and geography on Madrid’s Urbanism. Madrid is a very dynamic city. Throughout the years it underwent many changes and was extending with variable paste. This was all influenced by it’s role as a capital of Spain and central location. Isolated in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, on the outskirts of Europe, the City of Madrid has struggled for decades to show its proud radiance as the capital of Spain and as a major European city, being the most populous after only London and Paris. Its strategic geographical position at the foot of the chain of Guadarrama, which provides sufficient water, gives the ‘island’ an almost surreal autonomy amid the dusty territory the high plateau of Castile. Its name comes from the Arab Mayrit, which means “the place where water abounds”.

Urban development of Madrid

9-11TH CENTURY: FiRst mention oF madRid First historical references that mention Madrid come from Arab times, when it was called Magerit or Mayrit. The city was a Muslim alcazar and medine and was surrounded by the first wall. It became a cradle for future development.

1565: FRom tHe pRovince into capital HistoRical and political backgRound In June 1561, when the town had 30,000 inhabitants, Philip II of Spain moved his court from Valladolid to Madrid, installing it in the old castle. Thanks to this, the city of Madrid became the political center of the monarchy. This fact was decisive for the evolution of the city and influenced its fate. cultuRal backgRound The city was a mix of christian, muslim and jewish culture. Every nationality occupied other part of the city. uRban development Calle Mayor and Calle de la Colegiata were creating the spine of the city. However, it consisted of chaotic urban structure. Plaza Mayor had undefined shape.

1600: 1st big gRowtH HistoRical and political backgRound After becoming the capital, Madrid gained importance and growht twice bigger. cultuRal backgRound During the reign of Philip III and Philip IV of Spain, Madrid saw a period of exceptional cultural brilliance, with the presence of geniuses such as Miguel de Cervantes, Diego Velรกzquez, Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega. uRban development Madrid spreaded widly in radius directions. The main axes had been extended, but the structure between them was still very chaotic.

Plaza Mayor 1665: Before recession HistoRical and political backgRound The Spanish â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golden Ageâ&#x20AC;? politically ends no later than 1659, with the Treaty of the Pyrenees, ratified between France and Habsburg Spain. cultuRal backgRound The end of Habsburg dinasty stoped developing the art and architecture. uRban development During last decade of Habsburg dinasty the city spreaded in northern and eastern direction and reached the bank of the river, which later became Paseo de Castellana. The plan of reshaping Plaza Mayor was finally executed.

Plaza del Sol

1725: Recession impact HistoRical and political backgRound The death of Charles II of Spain resulted in the War of the Spanish succession. The city supported the claim of Philip of Anjou as Philip V. While the city was occupied in 1706 by a Portuguese army, who proclaimed king the Archduke Charles of Austria under the name of Charles III, and again in 1710, remained loyal to Philip V. cultuRal backgRound The big gap between western Europe and Spain resulted in recession and the lack of Industrial revolution. uRban development The city development was stoped but the quality of streets and infrastructure during Burbons improved.

1835: libeRal city HistoRical and political backgRound The Peninsular War against Napoleon, despite the last absolutist claims during the reign of Ferdinand VII, gave birth to a new country with a liberal and bourgeois character, open to influences coming from the rest of Europe. cultuRal backgRound Madrid, the capital of Spain, experienced like no other city the changes caused by this opening and filled with theaters, cafes and newspapers. uRban development A lot of new public spaces were created. The river dried off and the place for Paseo de Castellana has been prepared.

CITY SCALE

Urban development of Madrid

1857: 2nd gRowtH HistoRical and political backgRound In the second half of XVIII the population of Madrid doubled. The increasing population of Madrid forced government to apply Ensanche de Madrid (Madrid Extension Plan). cultuRal backgRound XXI century was the rise of the middle class and neoclassicism rulement. uRban development The new part of the city was designed in rectangular net shape. New axis of the city, which were the continuation of the old ones remind the Haussman Paris. The Castellana was designed as the spine of Madrid. It started from the Railway station and connected south with north.

Ciudad Lineal 1900: lineRal city HistoRical and political backgRound In the beginning of the XXth Century Madrid was a small city in comparisment to European Capitals. The city had problems with increasing need of infrastructure. cultuRal backgRound Work of Gaudi, Dali and Picasso. uRban development Arturo Soria designed the linear city concept which was meant to deal with infrastructure problem. Unfortunately the plan wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t applied to Madrid due to very fast growth, but it shaped the future of Paseo de Castellana somehow.

1946: pgou HistoRical and political backgRound Madrid was one of the most heavily affected cities of Spain in the Civil War (1936â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1939). The city was a stronghold of the Republicans from July 1936. It was during the Civil War that Madrid became the first European city to be bombed by aeroplanes. cultuRal backgRound Francoist Spain - Socialist culture. uRban development After the civil war the Government developed the PGOU Plan, in which they included the information about office centre in the pace of AZCA.

1975: 3Rd madRid gowtH HistoRical and political backgRound Benefiting from increasing prosperity, the capital city of Spain has consolidated its position as an important economic, cultural, industrial, educational, and technological centre on the European continent. cultuRal backgRound Free culture. uRban development The area of the city doubled. Paseo de Castellana divided the city into two sides.

2015: postcRisis city HistoRical and political backgRound In 2008 the Spain survived the economical crush. The city lost a lot of money. cultuRal backgRound Because of the increasing migration the city gained different cultural impacts. uRban development The plan for Madrid was to enclose the city in circular rings which were connected by Paseo de Castellana.

The extension of the Paseo della Castellana, the large artery extending towards the North, is one of the main lines of the Bigador plan. Firstly developed in 1930 by Secundino Zuazo, architect and urban planner of Madrid, and Herman Jansen, a German engineer. The project was finally approved by the authorities and inaugurated in 1952. In December 1953 Castellana law was approved, which granted privileges to the promoters who were economically involved in the development of Nuevos Ministerios, the new business district and important points on the axis of the Castellana.

Development of the site of AZCA along Castellana, prior the competition

1900: tHe boRdeR uRban backgRound In the beginning of XXth century the site was a border between old, rectangular city and the chaotic slums structure. Landmark background The main landmark of the sorrouning was the Hyppodrom, which was located on the axe of Paseo de la Castellana. The culture of horse racing played a big role then.

1927: pRewaR peRiod uRban backgRound During the first decade of XXth century the urban structure remained the same. Landmark background In the border there was a church named Santa Maria Del Silencio. It was located between the richer and poorer part of the city.

1946: open way uRban backgRound After war the Castellana was extended, the city border was moved. Landmark background Nuevos Ministerios was built in the place of Hippodrom. By doing so, the way to extend Paseo de la Castellana was opened. The terrain gained new value because of new functions located here.

1951: Football capital uRban backgRound By creating the Nuevos Ministerios the city opened the way for new urban structure sorrounding it. Landmark background The site gained importance by hosting new Real Madrid stadium.

AZCA

Project development

1954 The Commissioner General of Urban Madrid announced an international competition for the area. The winning project was developed by architect Antonio in Perpiñá, inspired by the Rockefeller Center in New York.

Above : Picture of the original model presented by the team of Antonio Perpiña in the competition for the development of AZCA.

Following the competition, the Partial Plan of the area was approved in 1957, but despite this approval, the project underwent several reforms and its full and final approval not occur until 1964 by the Commission of Planning and Coordination Madrid metropolitan area (General Commissariat Urban). Perpiña presents winning proposal for the area of AZCA. Intention of the project was to create lively shopping and residential district, with cultural venues.

AZCA

Project development

1957 The original basement-layout resulted in the many-leveled system, that is still visible in AZCA. It was adjusted over the years to match new funstions and ended up being very confusing.

1961 Areas around AZCA are already developed. Bending canal is visible on the site, leftover of the Canalillo system developed by Juan de Ribera to provide the city with water in the XIXth century.

1969 First branches of the tunnel system are being raised along with EL Corte Ingles and first residential buildings. Original layout resulted in the many-leveled system, that is still visible in AZCA.

1975 Western strip of residential buildings is completed, as well as the tunnels, that remain above ground. El Corte Ingles extends and in the E-S corner BBVA is under conctruction.

1979 Eastern line of office buildings is being deleoped, slowly closing off the connection between AZCA and Castellana. Torre Windsor reaches itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full height, while the whole complex marks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear boundaries. Below: Plaza de Castillo, last on Castellana axis towards north, finished in the same time.

1985 Torre Europa is constructed. The exterior belt of AZCA is completed. At the same time, contrary to the original plan, internal park is being laid out.

AZCA The site of Azca has been the site for the city’s projection of the future, since the Plan Castro in 1860. In the Plan Bigador (1941-1946), the site is anticipated as the crest for the Paseo de la Castellana, the most prominent urban initiative for the following 50 years, and would be crowned with the most exclusive commercial area in Spain. Following the discourse in modern architecture, Pepino’s plan was promoted for its modern architecture of the future and promised a new model of urban living. The modernist systematical approach is still visible in some aspects of the site’s organisation, but the image of AZCA today is not the one originally envisioned by Antonio Pepin. AZCA has been reshaping itself to specific historical contexts and urban planning convictions in which capital dynamics played the leading role. Right after first investments came through and some buildings were realised, Perpiná continued to work on the project under big speculative pressures that altered the balance of surfaces and volumes of the original scheme. In the 60s, developmentalism policy started reshaping the ideas of modern architecture and began to take on ideas of capitalist architecture (Belluschi) and architecture of commercial spaces (Gruen). The projected business centre fell under a process of commodification, a phenomenon that would rise to its climax in Spain a decade later, when the middle class started growing. The opera, the botanical garden and the national library were never built. Thus although conceived as a rationalist approach to the production of space, AZCA was build on the demands of capital, and became merely a reflection of the initial model.

SEQUENCE OF PLAZAS Through its lifetime AZCA has been continually changing and reshaping in accordance to specific historical contexts of capital investment and urban planning convictions. Thus although conceived as a rationalist approach to the production of space, AZCA was build on the demands of capital, and became mercy a reflection of the initial model. Following the ideas of modernist architecture, Pepin’s plan was promoted for it’s modern architecture, and also for it’s promise of modern living. In an attempt to maximise the use of space AZCA was designed as a series of levels, while traffic circulated below. But the pressure of large financial firms let to the gradual elimination of commercial and residential presence in AZCA as opposed to business conglomerates. In order to attract public investments, each block was closed, leaving in the middle and one square, the Plazza Picasso , which is surrounded by the backs of the AZCA’s skyscraper facade. The lack of connection between buildings, and their increasing height - also an outcome of capital interests - resulted in gradual dissolution of AZCA as holistic project and transformed it into a display of private investments.

INFRASTRUCTURE

INTRODUCTION In this chapter we will be looking at the relationship between AZCA and Madrid city by investigating its Infrastructure. The term infrastructure refers to the fundamental facilities and systems serving a city from transportation and communication systems to the civil and leisure services. We analyzed AZCA’s infrastructure system on different scales. We start with the bigger scale by researching the public transportation system of the city of Madrid and analyzing how the site is connected to the city. And through looking at a variety of transportation types such as high speed trains, metro and buses etc., we come to a conclusion that AZCA is well embedded into the Madrid transportation network. For instance, AZCA is connected to Atocha and Chamartín train stations through high speed trains and it is also linked to the Barajas Airport. Moreover, travelling times to AZCA are investigated. The research is carried on by zooming in more into the neighborhood of AZCA (1km radius from AZCA centre). Adjacent public infrastructures such as civil services, retails, educational and cultural associated services are identified on plans as to help us further understand the position of AZCA in relation to its surrounds. Accesses of AZCA are also investigated. The analysis of its accesses includes a close study of its road structures, underground as well as upper ground planning schemes. We identified that there are limits at its borders - between the inside and outside and between the levels. AZCA is not a porosity space. The last and smallest scale we have worked on is about the elements inside AZCA. Here we will analyze the upper ground planning scheme along with the underground. Relationship between the towers’ property boundaries and the underground carpark areas is studied. Then we shift the focus from boarder studies to urban fixtures of AZCA. It is interesting to identify how the existing master planning has significantly influenced design decisions. For instance the design of towers needs to cooperate with the fixed exhaust locations, underground metro systems and landscaping.

ACCESIBILITY OF AZCA Regional scale By analysing the main public transport connection (Metro & Train) in the Madrid city, we can find out that AZCA can be directly linked with most of the districts without transfer. Chamartin and Atocha are Madridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two main train stations. The local railway system (Cercanias) is also passing through these two stations and linking them to the central area of the city. There are two tunnels which is named Laughter Tunnel between Atocha and Chamartin.

METRO NETWORK The metro-line network of Madrid stretches far out of the city centre. With 13 lines at work and a high density of metro stations this system seems to be a very important part of its infrastructure. The Metrostation in the centre of Madrid covers most areas with train stations.

A large amount of Spanish people go to work via metro over other forms of public transport. The amount is increasing over the years. This shows a gerat importance of the public infrastructure network in Spain with this rise in usage. A radius of 1 km from the center of AZCA is taken into account for research into basic programs, such as educational, civil, medical services as well as retails and restaurants. Knowing the types, quantity, density and pattern of occupation on the site will further explian what AZCA is made of and its relationship with its neighborhood. It also helps explain what and why some components within AZCA is defunct. 42

CIVIL SERVICE

Calle de Joaquín Costa

Programs in relation to civil, medical, educational and spiritual services can be seen as the basic hardware that constitutes a society. Civil service has a particular area of focus, which the local government offices and embassies are scattered along Calle de Joaquín Costa. Higher educational institutes are located close to each other in the Chamartin district. Such patterns indicate the southeast of AZCA are more ‘political’ concentrated and more civilized.

Surprisingly, there is one Church-Parroquia Nuestra Señora del Castañar, located at northwest corner of AZCA. Unlike other churches, it is ‘hidden’ on the basement level.

LEISURE

There is only one Library spoted in the selected district and neither cinema or theatre has landed in in or around AZCA. However an opera house, library and a botanic garden is planned in the old scheme. The lack of cultural elements somehow reflects on AZCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alienation from its neightbours since library, cinema or theatre are colaborative public spaces that allow people to gather, interact and exchange ideas.

AZCA AS A MINIATURE CITY

The infrastructure of AZCA is well planned and completed however the overconcentration on the outskirts leads to the function failure of its centre. The diagram on the left indicates that density of commercial programs along Paseo de la Castellana is low. In fact, due to Paseo de la Castellan’s busy streetscape accessibility for pedestrians on the eastern edge is poor. The concentration of commercial programs within AZCA has made it a financial hub - with retails on its outskirts and office highrises in the center. Major reatials are situated within AZCA’s two ‘ends’ - its north and south edges. They are Moda shopping and El Corte Inglés. Estadio. AZCA is built up from the outskirts towards its centre. The ‘ring’ of AZCA itself can be seen as a barrier that blocks people from entering, and therefore causing defunct of the centre public spaces. Paseo de la Castellana 45

ACCESS

The main entrance for AZCA is designated alongside Paseo de la Castellana. However, oddly, the metro station Nuevos Ministerios (indicated in Red circile) is located far away at bottom right corner of AZCA. Referring to the pedestrain flow diagram, there are various entrances for AZCA however the ones that used most are thoes narrow, and dark passages. People either enter from ‘gaps’ between two towers or passages ‘hidden’ underneath buildings. 46

ROAD TYPOLOGY

AZCA is located on the west side along the busiest city road of Madrid citym the Paseo la Castellana. It build up the lindage of the transport stations together and make ACA easily accessible for the cummuter flow from other places. The Oaso elevado which is also one of the most important motorways.

= Public parking Footprint of 31560 m2

1/3

The ratio between public and private of the underground world of AZCA is divided in 1/3 private parking and 2/3 public parking. We can say that the underground world is a more privatized space. 52

The public parking places are located near the entrances of the tunnel and at the corners of the AZCA complex. At the bottom right corner of the plot you should expected public parking places, since the public parking places are located at the corners of the complex. At this corner there is public parking on ground level instead of underground. This is because of the metro and renfe station underneath this place. = Parking on ground level

The current parking garage plan is based on the original plan of AZCA. The underground system of tunnels and parking garages was already build when the original plan changed. In 1969 they start building the tunnel system and the Western strip of residential buildings. Six years, when this part of the complex was finished, the master plan of AZCA has changed. We can say that the underground infrastructure system fixed the whole plan of AZCA above these tunnels and parking garages.

The underground tunnel system is divided into two levels. These levels are used differently, since all the entrances of the parking garages are located on the first basement level. Therefore the second basement level is more used by cars who are only crossing by AZCA instead of visiting the complex. From the parking garages is it possible to enter the buildings above them by using the stairs or elevators in core of the buildings. = First basement level Entrances of the parking garages

= Second basement level More used by cars crossing by AZCA P P

The second map on the left page shows the property borders of the buildings. The assessed property of some buildings is more or less the same as the footprint of their parking garages. This sometimes causes remarkable property borders in the pavement. = Property borders Remarkable is the difference in privatized public pavement between public and private building. The two shopping centers and the Cajamar supermarket have very little privatized public pavement compare to the other buildings. These are the most public buildings at the AZCA complex. Torre picasso is the opposite of these public buildings with its huge amount of privatized public pavement. This is probably to show the power of this outstanding building. The assessed property of some buildings is more or less the same as the footprint of their parking garages. These property borders are often visable in the privatized public pavement of the buildings. m2 Footprint

The same pattern of the pavement is often used to clarify the public places.

The public space and the underlaying tunnel system are often connected. The public space owned by the municipality follows the underground infrastructure, especially above the underground ring road. This occasionally leads to strange situations in terms of the pavement. The borders of public and private is strongly visable in the pavement. For the public space, the same pattern of pavement is often used. Sometimes is the pavement of privatized public space adapted to the pattern of the public pavement. The owners of these privatized places are trying to connect their property with the public space, but actually they are creating boundaries. Privatized public pavement is sometimes adapted to this pattern of public pavement. 54

Public space

The shopping malls in AZCA are the most public buildings of the complex. The amount of privatized public space is very litte in relation to the footprint of the public building itself. This is probably to attract people to go inside the building. The public space and the private owned, public space are seperated by a strong visual line. This line is located directly above the wall of parking garage.

Separation of the different residential towers is visible in the pavement, columns and facade.

The privatized public space of the residental towers is located right under the parking garages of these buildings. Each tower has its own parking garage and this separation is also visable in the pavement above it. The different building blocks are using their own expression for the collumns and facade. Due to this, there is no consistency in the appearance of this street. The border between the public space and the privatized public space is again visible in the difference in pavement, but this time also in the difference in height. P

Torre Picasso is a good example of a private building that owns a lot of privatized public space in relation to the footprint of the tower. Due the pavement, the enormous square in front of Torre Picasso shows that it belongs to the tower. The stripes of this square are a reflection of the tower beyond it. The expression of the privatized public pavement creates a strong division between the public space and the private owned, public space.

AZCA OBJECTS

29 20

AZCA site is composed of different objects. On a small scale, urban objects of the site are composed of lamps, ashtrays, benches, art objects, obstacles for dead-end roads... They adopt the same attitude as towers but they don’t offer any special experience. They are fixed, and sometimes impracticable.

Urban objects of the site are regularly placed and systematic manner, one banche every 100 meters. But unfortunately it don’t gives any realtions between objects and also with the users. On a larger scale, it’s more specifically a set of towers installed on a mineral base.

Different forms, different heights, different widths, each of these building has his own and specific presence on the site. The towers are fixed and inactive objects on the site that get activated when users started using them.

Scale

INFRASTRUCTURE AS A DESIGN GUIDE Infrastructure is not only related to the large scale network. Each cores of AZCA towers have specific relation to the infrastructure. Torre BBVA has spread its cores to let the metro go through the building. Torre Titania has separated his groundfloor in between the public space of the Corte Ingles to the private space of the entrance of the offices. Torre Europa is inserted into the site because of the holes around the tower, only the footbridge conects the city.To finish, into the cores of Torre Mahou and Torre Picasso, two chimney permits to evacuate the pollution from the underground levels.

CONCLUSIONS ON EACH SCALE

3. The city of Madrid

2. AZCA and its surroundings

Historically, when in 1561 Phillip II decided to move his court to Madrid, the city wasn’t prepared. The new capital of the empire in development didn’t had any cathedral, university or printing press. In the center of Spain, inserted in a particular topographic situation, Madrid had develop quickly, maybe too fast. Nowadays, Azca is part of the central business district lined up on Paseo de la Castellana, the principal road of Madrid which creates a limit between east and west of the city. This road which we can compare because of her proportion to a highway is occupied by all the institutions building, financial towers, infrastructure landmarks, and museums.

Nowadays, Azca is part of the central business district lined up on Paseo de la Castellana, the principal road of Madrid which creates a limit between east and west of the city. This road which we can compare because of her proportion to a highway is occupied by all the institutions building, financial towers, infrastructure landmarks, and museums. But Azca is not only crossed by visible links. The underground public transport under AZCA is very dense. First by the tunnel which link the two train stations of Madrid, Madrid-Chamartín and Madrid-Atocha. But Azca is also related to 3 metro lines (one directly linked to BarajasAirport) and 7 Cercanías lines linked to the suburbs of Madrid.

1. AZCA itself

0. Inside AZCA

Thanks to its position in the center of Madrid, Azca site is directly related to a lot of civil services and even more to leisure elements. However, those elements are mostly related to the rims more than Azca itself. In fact, because of its position, Azca is, on its borders, a limit and therefore very difficult to cross. The entrances are not really passable.

Inside Azca, in a smaller scale, we can tell the same duality of borders in the pavements. We can’t really understand the plots between the towers. A pavement related to a tower haven’t really finished yet to determine its property that second already starts defining its territory. It creates a really strange patchwork on Azca’s ground floor. Infrastructure is represented in Azca from the design of the towers to all the differents objects strewn in the site. This composition is sometimes difficult to access but seems to be necessary for the survival of this financial heaven.

DEMOGRAPHY

SUMMARY OF ANALYSES CURRENT STATISTICS Spain’s GDP/capita (€18,420/year) is relatively low compared to a country such as the Netherlands (€46,252/year). Nonetheless, Madrid’s GDP/capita is significantly higher than the rest of the country. This even holds true for the notoriously poorer area around AZCA, Tetuan, whose GDP is lower then the other surrounding areas. Madrid is also very densely habited compared to the rest of the Spain. Of the four focus districts, Tetuan contains the most habitants per square kilometre. It also has the highest immigrant community. Age structure is slightly less informative and does not differ that much within Madrid. The largest age group, at all scales, is between 40-64. This is projeted to be worrisome because in the next 20 years we will see a large amount of baby boomers retire. The birth and death rates are quite even, except in the districts of Chamberi and Salamanca where the death rate actually exceeds the birth rate. (Marc Anderson)

HISTORY OF POPULATION FLUX Spanish population flux has occurred primarily as a response to political and economic changes. The population is projected to decline mainly due to the decrease in birth rates compared to that during Franco’s reign. This has left the country with a high population of elderly. With an already degrading economy, there will be fewer people to fill jobs and costs to take care of the elderly will be exorbitant. In Madrid, and particularly within the AZCA district of Tetuan, there is a high population of immigration, especially those from Latin America. In recent years there have been tensions between “Spaniards” and immigrants in the area and often it is the immigrants that have been most affected by the crisis. There is a need to create a more inclusive community within Tetuan and mediate tensions between cultural groups. (Gerard Julien)

SURROUNDING AZCA AZCA is located in the district of Tetuan, yet it is situated in the intersection of many small neighbourhoods. To summarise, the surrounding neighbourhoods of AZCA all consist of a largely older population with approximately 52-60% inhabitants over the age of 40. Excluding the affluent neighbourhoods of Hispano Americo El Viso, the others are extremely dense, ranging from 27,000 - 39 000 HAB/km2. Thus suggesting that these neighbourhoods consist of a population with a lower socio-economic status. Finally on average the neighbourhoods consist of a Non-Spanish population of approximately 10%, with the exception of Hispano America with a low of 4.27% and Bella Vista with a high 21.4%. Interestingly, AZCA is sited directly between these two neighbourhoods, almost creating a physical border between the two zones. It would seem that the division was stimulated by the intense border conditions AZCA generates. 64

(UN)EMPLOYMENT Spain has been plagued with relatively high unemployment rates. Causes include (1) a housing bubble where construction accounted for 12% of GDP and 13% of employment, (2) household borrowing tripled between 19962004, and (3) labour laws make it difficult to fire someone, thus making it less desirable to hire. Unemployment is particularly relevant amongst young people. Although many Spaniards complete graduate programs, finding a permanent job remains difficult. In 2011, the grass-roots protest movement group Juventud Sin Futuro (Youth Without a Future), took to the streets because Spanish youth are frustrated by their inability to start a career, earn a steady wage and move out of their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes. JSF desires to change the submission of democratic politics to private economic power, and protect workers right and stimulate change. (telegraph.co.uk)

PEOPLE OF AZCA The people of AZCA can be categorized into three groups of people: consumers, workers, and residents. Residents compromise the smallest population as housing blocks are solely located on the western region along Calle de Orense. Workers are concentrated in the towers such as Torre Picasso, Torre Europa and Torre Mahou. Many of the workers lunch along the Castellano, but there is little connection with the street & sidewalk. The consumers are spread across the periphery of the AZCA block, with a large concentration shopping at El Corte Ingles. Many passersby use the major metro lines at the ends of the complex, yet there is rarely a need to venture to the interior of AZCA.

(Raphael Trapiello)

SOCIAL ISSUES OF AZCA AZCA is an area of contradictions that is host to corporate program during the weekdays, and underground criminal activity, insecurity and homeless in the evening. Associations, such as proAZCA, are attempting to revitalize the area and bring new attraction and demographies to the area, particularly in low peak office hours. Due to the affiliation between Latin clubs and gang violence, unjust xenophobic reactions have been projected on the surrounding Latin community. Security cameras have been implemented, however this is only a temporary solution for reducing crime. Overall design and infrastructure must be changed to avoid isolated areas. These areas attract homeless, which indicates that there is a greater need for social efforts in helping the disadvantaged. At a larger scale, helping the local community find a solution to housing eviction can create overall improvements to the neighbourhood. (elmundo.es)

SHORT HISTORY OF TETUAN (DISTRICT OF AZCA) Before exploring the demographic situation of AZCA, it is important to understand the history of Tetuan. Tetuan was not always associated with Madrid, but through time it expanded and was eventually merged together. Its history is evident in the coexistance of various neighbourhoods in the area and the people who live there.

.1860 Establishment of Tetuan’s “Expansion Plan” - Originally orchard fields, but transformed in to settlement for soldiers after the Battle of Tetouan, Morocco - Presence of immigration within the Tetuan area as a result of civil war - Gradually became a working class neighbourhood 1875 - 1900 - South-east area (now AZCA) developed differently then the rest of Tetuan in both land use and social class. Area characterized by farming, gardens and large villas - Tetuan developed a stock of sub-standard housing due to poor living conditions in the downtown neighbourhoods and lack of official housing policies

Fielato de Cuatro Caminos-1889

1917-1926 - Municipal taxes brought a revival of construction activity to the area - Detached houses and gardens were developed - Erection of tall buildings were an indicator of the arrival of middle class 1940 - Large scale urbanization began in the district with development plans and established industries Large scale urban interventions took place. The demolition of suburban homes and expropriation of farms for the creation of the streets of Genera Peron, Huesca and Orense

Plaza de Toros, Tetuan - 1900

1946 - Tetuan, predominately a working class district, sees an introduction of high-income population due to the prolongation of the axis of the Castellana and the creation of AZCA 1960’s-1970’s - Rapid growth of the Paseo de la Castellana expands westward over the old quarter, resulting in the displacement of working population. Low houses are replaced by affluent housing blocks 66

1975 - Franco’s death; End of the “Politics of Birth” 1980’s-2000 - Significantly decline in population between 1986-1996, afterwards there was a gradual and steady increase - The number of births fell by half during this period -On average, women are having children between 30-40 years. This coincides with the inclusion of women in the work force Capitan Haya street, north of Tetuan, housing destruction for commercial mall construction 1986

2000’s - Attractive for employment seekers and people looking to improve their living conditions. - Creation of two opposing areas: the west is composed of artisans, commercial and residential workers, and the east is recognized as a financial and bureaucratic district with a luxury residential neighbourhood as a result of the urbanization in ‘60s and ‘70s 2000-2010 - Cuatro Caminos is the most densely populated district in Tetuan - New residents from elsewhere in Madrid are also migrating towards Tetuan to purchase new homes 2005 - Foreign population represents 20% of Tetuan. This is a large percentage in comparison to other neighbourhoods, and it is also unevenly distributed throughout the district. 67

MIGRATION TO MADRID Spanish population flux has occurred primarily as a response to political and economic changes. The population is projected to decline mainly due to the decrease in birth rates compared to that during Franco’s reign. This has left the country with a high population of elderly. With an already degrading economy, there will be fewer people to fill jobs and costs to take care of the elderly will be exorbitant. In Madrid, and particularly within the AZCA district of Tetuan, there is a high population of immigration, especially those from Latin America. In recent years there have been tensions between “Spaniards” and immigrants in the area and often it is the immigrants that have been most affected by the crisis. There is a need to create a more inclusive community within Tetuan and mediate tensions between cultural groups.

(UN)EMPLOYMENT Spain has been plagued with relatively high unemployment rates. Causes include (1) a housing bubble where construction accounted for 12% of GDP and 13% of employment, (2) household borrowing tripled between 1996-2004, and (3) labour laws make it difficult to fire someone, thus making it less desirable to hire. Unemployment is particularly relevant amongst young people. Although many Spaniards complete graduate programs, finding a permanent job remains difficult. In 2011, the grass-roots protest movement group Juventud Sin Futuro (Youth Without a Future), took to the streets because Spanish youth are frustrated by their inability to start a career, earn a steady wage and move out of their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes. JSF desires to change the submission of democratic politics to private economic power, and protect workers right and stimulate change.

Migration from rural Spain to metropolitan centres such as Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla & Valencia where there was greater economic activity.

When Baby Boomers (born between 19551975) left their family home, there was a shift from living in the city to moving to the suburbs due to high housing demand, better property values, expansion of new infrastructure & the revalorization of the suburban spaces.

In recent years, there has been a trend in re-urbanization and a move back to the metropolitan area, particularly in cities like Madrid and Barcelona. This is said to be a result of increase in immigration and an increase of the attractiveness of the central areas.

During the Spanish Civil War, there was a decrease in birth rates as many men were removed from their families.

During Francisco Franco’s fascist reign, women were expected to have many children. While birth rates were declining in the rest of Europe, the average family in Spain consisted of 3 or more children.

After Franco’s death access to education, contraceptives, divorce and the work force increased for women, while birth rates plummeted.

Following trends across the EU, women in Spain have decided against starting families. 2015 was the first time since the Spanish Flu (1918) and the Spanish Civil War that the deaths outnumbered births.

After Franco’s Spanish extremist nationalist perspective ended, a liberal democracy and extensive social welfare developed. This brought an increase of immigrants from Morocco, Eastern Europe and South America.

Immigrants from Latin America increased from 19% to 41% due to access to jobs, as well as financial and industrial development.

After crisis and lack of employment, there was a decrease in Latin American’s in Tetuan and immigrants in Madrid in general. However, Chinese immigration has been increasing slightly.

Spain has agreed to take in 15,000 asylum seekers who have been displaced by war. However, so far the EU has criticized Spain for their slow initiatives. Madrid has pledged 10 million euros towards refugee resettlement services.

Spain’s GDP/capita (€18,420/year) is relatively low compared to a country such as the Netherlands (€46,252/year). Nonetheless, Madrid’s GDP/capita is significantly higher than the rest of the country. This even holds true for the notoriously poorer area around AZCA, Tetuan, whose GDP is lower then the other surrounding areas, but still higher then the national average. Although Salamanca is considered a more affluent district, visible by its streetscape, it does not have a significantly higher GPD. Madrid is also very densely habited compared to the rest of the Spain. Of the four focus districts, Tetuan contains the most habitants and immigrants per square kilometre. Age structure is slightly less informative and does not differ that much within Madrid. The largest age group, at all scales, is between 40-64. This is projeted to be worrisome because in the next 20 years we will see a large amount of baby boomers retire. The birth and death rates are quite even, except in the districts of Chamberi and Salamanca where the death rate actually exceeds the birth rate. 1 - TETUAN POPULATION: 150,860 DENSITY: 28,100 hab./km2 GDP/capita: €21,934/year IMMIGRANTS: 16.7% BIRTH RATE: 9.52 births/1000 people DEATH RATE: 8.39 deahts/1000 people

SURROUNDING AZCA NEIGHBOURHOODS

CONCLUSION & ANALYSIS: By redefining the â&#x20AC;&#x153;zoneâ&#x20AC;? in which AZCA is situated, we were able to develop a greater understanding of the demographics surrounding AZCA. Although politically a part of the Tetuan District, AZCA also borders on the Chamartin District. By breaking the two districts down, selecting the border neighbourhoods of AZCA and analysing the demographic statistics within, themes and their aberrations arose. To summarise, the surrounding neighbourhoods of AZCA all consist of a largely older population with approximately 52-60% inhabitants over the age of 40. Excluding the affluent neighbourhoods of Hispano Americo El Viso, the others are extremely dense, ranging from 27,000 - 39 000 HAB/km2. Thus suggesting that these neighbourhoods consist of a population with a lower socio-economic status. Finally on average the neighbourhoods consist of a Non-Spanish population of approximately 10%, with the exception of Hispano America with a low of 4.27% and Bella Vista with a high 21.4%. Interestingly, AZCA is sited directly between these two neighbourhoods, almost creating a physical border between the two zones. It would seem that the division was stimulated by the intense border conditions AZCA generates. 81

SOCIAL ISSUES IN & AROUND AZCA AZCA is an area of contradictions that is host to both economic activity and corporate social activities around Torre Picasso during the weekdays, while also host to underground criminal activity, insecurity and homeless in the evening. The maintenance of the complex is not be fully effective unless there is joint effort between private and public institutions. Associations, such as proAZCA, are attempting to revitalize the area and bring new attraction and demographies to the area, particularly in low peak office hours. Due to the affiliation between Latin clubs and gang violence, unjust xenophobic reactions have been projected on the surrounding Latin community. Security cameras have been implemented, however this is only a temporary solution for reducing crime. Overall design and infrastructure must be changed to avoid isolated areas. These areas attract homeless, which indicates that there is a greater need for social efforts in helping the disadvantaged. At a larger scale, helping the local community find a solution to housing eviction can create overall improvements to the neighbourhood.

Crime “This year there were 118 police operations, with 158 detainees and 986 arrest for abusing drugs, in AZCA” - 20 Minutos (2014) AZCA’s nightlife draws a large community of Latin Americans and disturbances such as crime and drugs have been linked to this community. Although murders have occurred in the area, it is a rare occurrence.

Insecurity There are 55 operating security cameras located around housing and office areas. The city believes that the installation of cameras will deter crime and guarantee safety.

“Madrid extends its project of urban surveillance on Azca complex” - El Pais

Acoustic nuisance In recent years residents of the area have complained of the excessive noise due to the nightclubs. In 2009 the “Zone of Special Acoustic Protection” was implemented. This regulation attempts to improve quality of life of the neighbours.

Maintenance Issues

Social contrast

In AZCA, isolated corridors and below ramps have been occupied by homeless and often waste, boxes and bottles accumulate in these areas. In contrast the area surrounding Torre Picasso is well maintained to preserve the corporate image.

The street, Bravo Murillo, creates a boundary between rich and poor. Extreme degrees of social cohesion exist in Madrid. Recently, Latin communities have been victimized by neo-Nazi group, Hogal Social Madrid. In contrast, an ultraleft

collective â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mesa Festivoâ&#x20AC;? attempts to promote interracial marriage, solidarity and engage in the fight against xenophobia.

Local initiatives Established in 2014, ProAZCA acts to develop and promote activities and thematic areas, around sports, family, leisure, culture, restoration, & trade. The aim is to increase equalities, day/ night and week/weekend contrast, and to facilitate the relationship and public-private communication between municipality, owners, users.

(agenciasinc.es)

Housing Eviction Housing eviction is an issue affecting areas of Madrid, including Tetuan. The increase in eviction is caused by the inability to pay mortgage loans which was stimulated by the economic crisis and recent housing bubble. Plataforma de Afectados Por La Hipteca (PAH) is a platform created to help people who have lost their mortgaged homes. PAH now focuses on all housing related problems, including the support of squatting rights.

Homeless

(nuroa.es)

Homelessness in Madrid primarly affects men (80%), average age: 47. Most have a secondary education or higher (65%), are unemployed (79%) and 15% are retired. Since the economic crisis more people use soup kitchen and health resources, but numbers of homeless has not increased significantly. 28% of homeless are immigrants. Often homelessness is a result of personal circumstance. Most homeless gather in the centre (31.5%). Other districts include Tetuan (5.7%), Chamartin (5.1%), Salamanca (8.4%) and Chamberi (6.6%). Homeless Statistics on AZCA are difficult to find, however, from empirical analysis and discussions with locals, it is clear that AZCA is appealing to homeless, particularly in the evening when the area is less active.

Residents compromise the smallest population as housing blocks are solely located on the western region along Calle de Orense. Workers are concentrated in the towers such as Torre Picasso, Torre Europa and Torre Mahou. Many of the workers lunch along the Castellano, but there is little connection with the street & sidewalk. The consumers are spread across the periphery of the AZCA block, with a large concentration shopping at El Corte Ingles. Many passersby use the major metro lines at the ends of the complex, yet there is rarely a need to venture to the interior of AZCA.

By the 19 hectares of AZCA, pass each day 120,000 pedestrians, and in its undergrounds approximately 37,000 vehicles.

The first is the “zone of low acoustic contamination”, where the schedule of the terraces will diminish half an hour in summer and there will be determined the opening of new places to the existence of a distance of 30 meters between them. The “zone of high acoustic contamination”, more restrictive. The entry into force of the measure will suppose a veto to creation of businesses and that the watching ones dismantle an hour before in summer, and hour and a half the rest of the year.

PEOPLE OF AZCA It is important to note that the survery is of such a small size due to both a small time frame in which we had to undertake the task and the amount of people, particularly businessmen, who declined to answer any questions. In fact it would be safe to say that 1 in 10 people agreed to let us ask them some questions. Regardless, we still managed to aquire a diverse sample of people at AZCA, which we believe, reflect the people using the complex quite accurately. The centre and northern end of the complex are dominated by business men and women and the perimeter which becomes synonomus with the retail zones, are where a more diverse demographic can be found. The complex is also dominated by men, which does not reflect in the survey as they were less likely to answer questions. Other AZCA Users

AZCA User 3 Office Working Girls in their 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reason for being in AZCA: We are working here, at the Picasso tower.

Perception of AZCA: Azca is a central point of Madrid, it is a commercial center for working and business.

AZCA improvements/change/requirements: It should be cleaner, it is clean but definitely there is room for improvement. There are too many homeless people, I would try to relocate them somewhere else. They should not be here, they are everywhere, in the park and in the plaza. It is not good for them and not good for us either.

POLITICS

INTRODUCTION Spain finds itself at this very moment in the middle of a political shift. Top-down policy making gives way to a more and more localy initated, bottom-up approach to politics and city planning. The reasoning behind this shift can be split up in different parts. Firstly there is the shift in political landscape. During the last decades the central gouvernment consisted of the two major parties. Right now the political landscape is getting more and more fragmented, which causes trouble in in the process of forming coalitions. The enormous gain of popularity of the extreme left wing party Ahora Madrid fits in the described political shift. The Ahora Madrid coalition invites citizen initaves and NGO to join the inclusive process to draft a new development plan for Madrid. At the same time planned projects are freezed or even overturned. This recent trend is going hand in hand with a decrease of trust in politics by the people of Spain. Dissatisfaction of the established political parties and system is growing. Last, Spain has a relatively young democracy. It is well possible that this young democracy is in a search for the right way to deal with a polictical system and with city planning. This could declare that Spain is going to a phase in which it is more leaning towards a decentralized way of practicing politics. particapatory democracy Recent initatives of particapatory democracy such as Decide Madrid show the seeking for a more ‘‘power to the people’’ way of thinking about policy making. At the other hand it also clearly shows that Spain and Madrid are not there yet. Particaptory budgetting, as initated by Decide Madrid mallfunctions on certain aspects. The medium that is used, the internet, at the one hand enables the possibilty to easily manage the voting at proposal system. At the other hand it creates a huge distance between people themselfses and between

people and the governement. The internet is not a disicplined space ideal for debate. The last the essential to particaptory democracy. Another mallfunction of Decide Madrid as it is now is the lack of an overal framework wherein small scale proposals can get a place. Without this framework policy making becomes fragmented which is at the expense of its effectiveness. spheres of influence The political shift is confirmed by the changes in of the spheres of influence in and around AZCA. Smaller private organisation gain power and are more often at the table when it comes to major decisions concerning the AZCA district. An example is the descicion of placing a surveillance system around AZCA. This plan is party initaited by the AZCAneighbourhoods organization COMUNAZCA. city planning, spatial implications This mentioned shift also involves a spatial factor. Where in the last decades Madrid undergone huge urban expensions this trend gave way to a more small scale type of urban planning. The last stands for slow development. AZCA itself, as part of one of the great expansions towards the north, represents the ‘‘old-fashioned’’ way of politics. The more interesting it is to sense that right now AZCA seems to seek for smaller scale developments and activities. In this way one tries to humaniza the area to become more active, lively and safer and more related to its surroundings: the residential neigbourhoods. An fine example is the food-truck festival organized by the PRO-AZCA organisation. An organiastion which, at least triest to, appear as having good intentions with the residents of the neighbourhood and the business active in the AZCA area. Also the plan director de AZCA initated in june 2015 consists of multiple examples of small scale, short term actions to improve and re-vitalize the urban fabric of

time

AZCA. Tools therefor are art, light, recreational functions and small scale adaptations of the urban fabric in favour of pedestrians. Future perspective Where does this political shift leads to and what will the future hold for madrid and more particulair for AZCA? The aswer is naturally unsure. Two scenarios can occure. At the one hand, it could be possible that the perceived shift will continue. This would mean a drastic adjustment of the political system present right now. Neighbourhood organizations and the local municipality boards will take full control over important discisions concerning the AZCA area. At the other hand the perceived could be only temporary. In this case the shift is just a temporary phase where every young democrary is going through.

Decline in Elections Turnout

Decline in Political Trust and Public Satisfaction

Growing Political Tension

Spain has one of the lowest rates of voter turnouts in Europe. Since the death of Franco, Spain went through many political changes. During the time of social and political tension, the voter turnout rates show that participation in politics grew; and during relative stability there is a general decline in public interest in politics. Higher turnout would be expected to benefit smaller parties challenging the hegemony of Popular Party (PP) and Socialist Party (PSOE), which have alternated in power for decades until the last General Elections in December 2015. As Spain faces the new political crisis because elected parties are unable to form a government, as well as the new corruption

The economic and financial crisis started at the same time all around the European Union. Some of the countries rapidly recovered from it and overcame the crisis situation; Spain still has problems of huge unemployment and increased economic downturn. This has led to dramatic decline in political trust over past decade starting from crisis in 2007.Which, in turn, combined with corruption scandals led to the latest political crisis. After the 2015 election resulted in the most fragmented Congress of Deputies in recent times, the possibility of a new election having to be held as a result of a possible parliamentary deadlock during the investiture of a Prime Minister People’s Party (1989-today)

Spain is a diverse country with different and contrasting polities showing varying economic and social structures, as well as different languages and historical, political and cultural traditions. As tensions between peripheral nationalism and centralism continue to grow, some nationalist parties advocate for recognition of the other “nations” of the Spanish Kingdom or for a peaceful process towards self-determination. In Catalonia there has been a substantial increase in the number of people who openly consider themselves independentists. Recently, the Parliament of Catalonia adopted the Declaration of the Initiation of the Process of Independence of Catalonia.

Conclusions

ELECTION OUTCOME Political climate For 33 years, two parties have taken turns to run Spain. No more. Elections on Sunday, December 20th, produced no outright winner. The conservative People’s Party (PP) won just 29% of the vote or 123 seats, down from 186 in 2011 and well short of the 176 needed to form a government. The Socialists (PSOE) claimed second place with 22%, down from 29% in 2011. Both lost ground to new parties. Upstarts Podemos, a leftish movement, claimed 21% of the vote while liberal Ciudadanos won 14%—less than expected. Both parties campaigned against corruption and cronyism. Their support has been fuelled by biting austerity and a stagnant economy, though the economy is now growing again and unemployment, while still high, has begun to fall. But the paradoxical result of the rise of two parties promising fresh approaches to the country’s problems has been paralysis, not forward movement. After months of squabbling and manoeuvring, King Felipe last week gave up his efforts to persuade the politicians to agree on a coalition, which could rule the country, and there will now be new elections in late June.

POLITICAL PROTEST King Juan Carlos is appointed

Madrid has a agitated history of political mass protests. Both political sides, left and right, are organising protest in the city on regulare bases. Therefor, they occupy specific places in the city, Plaza del Sol and Plaza de Oriente. It started in the last decade of the Franco regime with the 1965 student protests formed by left-wing activists and students at the Madrilean University. After the dead of General Franco, the right-wing side organised a mass protest to honour Franco with more than 700.000 people. In the following years and decades the madrilenian citizens showed up for a demonstration frequently. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re protesting for or against political dicisions, terrorism, capitalism, immigration and unemployment. In one way it shows the political compassion of the people, but also their mistrust in spanish governments.

ADMINISTRATORY REGIONS The area around AZCA is divided in different legisclave regions. AZCA is situated in the south-east corner of the district of Tetuán. A Municipal District is a governing body that is responsible for the administration of a neighborhood. It has only small inﬂuence. Their powers are generally related to the organization of citizen participation and transmission of public needs to the cities Town Hall. Because of the position of AZCA neighbouring the districts of Chamarti and Chamberi, policie making often also involves the district boards of of these two. Discisions also affect surrounding districts.

The district of Tetuan is divided in a couple of neighbourhoods (barrios) although AZCA is strictly speaking part of the Barrio of Cuatro Caminos, the area is often concidered as a neighbourhood on its own: the AZCA neighbourhood. Case study At the beginning of 2015 a plan was initiated to implement a surveillance system around the AZCA area to improve the (feeling of) safety. The plan involves 55 camera’s and a total budget of 480,000 euros. In this case the following parties are involved: Board of Tetouan, Municipality board, Municipal Police and COMUNAZCA. The fact that COMUNZCA is getting involved in projects like this proves that the organization has a relatively large inﬂuence in the area.

GENERAL MUNICIPALITY BUDGETING

"we are surprised that most of the investment for 2016 will be dedicated to the budget project of Azca, a legacy of the Total Madrid PP project. We propose that improvements be included neighbors on the left side of the axis of Bravo Murillo wait years, such as improving the Plaza de la Remonta. That is, reduce the gap 32.700.000 EUR Budget Tetuan between the most and least disadvantaged neighborhoods. "

‘Plan Director’ is a investment master plan that is commisioned by the right-winged Partido Polular in June 2014. In this plan, the city council announced several investments in the area of AZCA to make the place better accescible, safer and more vital for economic activities. To get this plan executed, they set up a public-privat collabartion. The budget was brought together by the city council and by various private parties that are situated in AZCA. At the end of 2015, the new ruling party in Madrid, ‘Ahora Madrid’, dicided to cut the budget. Details have not been anounced yet, but it is expected that certainly half of the budget is cut. That means that the private companies should keep the budget on its feet, or several investments should be canceled.

"the district leaves very hurt, despite having large gaps and needs. You can check the arbitrarily when making budgets without rigor. It seems that each district have given him what he asked and, in this case, Tetouan has not been vindictive towards its neighbors ".

In september 2015, the municipality of Madrid announced the participatory program ‘Decide Madrid’. It is an initiative of the new mayor Manuela Carmena. They set beside 60 million euro’s of the city-budget, whereof 36 million is ment to spend on proposals that affect the whole city, and 24 million for those who are district or neighbourhood related. People can propose investment projects and need to raise votes for these proposals. When the proposal is voted into the top 10 and is approved by a commision that is testing the proposal on legal and ﬁnancial terms, it will be executed.

From the map of the most voted proposals 100000 for Madrid as a city and the district of Tetuan, you can conclude that the citizens want to have a cleaner and more accessible city. A lot of proposals have to do with renovation of the public space, better biking lanes and more green places. Also public transport and 50000 free-WiFi is a popular proposal.

Moratalaz

An other city where this kind of participatory 150000 budgeting program was introduced is Paris. The main difference is that, in Paris, they decided to pre-select some investments and put them to a vote. So you can say that is only a half-participatory system.

Barajas

The 24 million which is intended for district proposals is equally divided over the districts by looking at the amount of citizens per district and the average capita per head. For example, the district of Barajas, where the airport is located, got the least inhabitants and one of the heighest income per head, so it is getting the least budget to spend on proposals. On the other hand, Puente de Vallecas is the most crowded district with the lowest income per head, so it is given the heighest budget. Tetuan, where Azca is located, is a very average district when we look at the assigned budget.

Distric budgets

Vicálvaro

A lot of european governments try to let people participate in politics. The ﬁrst reason to do so is because they want to show that they are willing to listen to the voice of the people and by that, they gain a certain trust in their capabillity to rule the country. The second reason is that they can gauge what people think is important.

By the 1920s, legal codes for land use law, such as for zoning, replace its traditional regulation by the local police.

´30s

First introduction of regional planning in Spain, eg. the 1932 “zoning distribution plan” in Catalonia, although it had little practical consequence.

AZCA was conceived as the new heart of the city, in a urban development strategy that would extend the city northwards along the Avenida del Generalissimo (Paseo de la Castellana) to alleviate the pressure on the old city centre. With civic functions, activity centres, exhibition spaces and recreational grounds the area was destined to become Madrid´s new commercial and business centre. The 1954 competition won by Antonio Perpina built on modernist principles of functional segregation with a vast interior space for the exclusive use of the pedestrians. Building commenced in the late 1960s, culminating in Torre Mahou in 1990. Since mid-2000 the local authorities have sought to revitalise the area with calls for tender, but as yet have made no signiﬁcant progress. A new initiative by the recently elected city council could breathe new life into the rehabilitation plans following several years of budgetary constraints.

The “Spanish Miracle” was a period of strong economic growth between 1954 and 1972 as a result of economic reform implemented under the guidance of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The development plans brought massive investments to a variety of industrial and commercial sectors including infrastructure, tourism, the automotive industry, textiles, petrochemicals, the steel industry and breathed new life into Spain´s shipyards. The country grew at a rate second only to Japan and by the early 1970s was the world´s ninth largest economy after Canada. It ended abruptly with the international oil crisis of 1973, and it would take several years before a new economic boom manifest itself in the mid 1980s.

CONCLUSIONS

AZCA AZCA was developed to alleviate the pressure on the old center of Madrid and become a center consisting of civic, cultural, recreational and business related functions. Plans were made to extend Madrid to the North along the Passeo de la Castellana. During the dictatoryship let by Franco the plans for AZCA are included in the extension plan made before. From then on the constructing of AZCA begins. From the beginning of the last age Madrid is trying to revitalize and reneweal the area by setting up competitions and making plans to remodel the area. These intentions are till today unsuccesfull. The left wing party Ahora Madrid decided to shelve a number of recent commercial development plans.

Influence By all this changes in the political system of spain, the amount of influence of the people, municipality, region, districs and government is changing a lot. For example, the regime of Franco was a really centralized way of ruling. The power to rule was totally in hands of Franco and his ministers. When the political system shifted into a democracy, the system was decentralized and the influence of city councils grew and with that also the influence of the citizens, because those were able to chose its council by municipality elections. When we look at the future of the political situation of Spain, it is still a bit misty. On one hand it is clear that citizens are done with the political esthablisment and that they are ready for a new kind of democracy. On the other hand it is questionable if they can lead it in the right direction, or that it is a start of total political chaos where nobody has the power to rule and implement the new democracy.

National

When you look at the political history of spain, you see that its political system has been trough a lot of transitions. Spain transformed from a republical system back in the early 20th century, through a civil war, into a dictatorial regime under Franco, to a re-installed constitutional parlementary monarchy where it still find itself today. Nowadays the political landscape of spain is still in a transition fase. The political esthablisment is not as strong as it was, and the political landscape is scatterd by new citizen initiated parties who want to change the way the government rules the country.

Regional

After practically the entire twentieth century of urban planning in Spain being regulated by the central government, at present municipal councils probably have more authority in the area of urban planning than in any other area. The main causes of this recent reinforcement of the local level can be traced to two main factors: firstly, the Spanish constitution of 1978 and the Local Government Standards Act (1985). The urban planning responsibilities were transferred to the Autonomous Communities. There are seventeen in Spain and almost all of them have their own urban legislation. Before the death of Franco, central government played a huge role in urban planning. AZCA was conceived in the time when central government held all the power over urban planning in Spain with help of Commission for Planning and Coordination of the Metropolitan Area of Madrid directly under Franco chain of command. But once democratic municipal councils were constituted in 1979, urban planning began to occupy a key role in local politics, since it is one of the areas in which the councils can express their concerns and strategies to improve the quality of life.

ECONOMY

THE SPANISH ECONOMY

116

Madrid is the economical capital of Spain, after it became the capital of Spain in the 16th century, Madrid was more a center of consumption than of production or trade. Economic activity was largely devoted to supplying the city’s own rapidly growing population, including the royal household and national government, such trades as banking and publishing. A large industrial sector did not develop until the 20th century, but thereafter industry greatly expanded and diversified, making Madrid the second industrial city in Spain. However, the economy of the city is now becoming more and more dominated by the service sector.

Since the restoration of democracy in the late 1970s, despite efforts to decentralize the administration, the city has continued to expand. Its economy is now among the most dynamic and diverse in the European Union. As the national capital, Madrid concentrates activities directly connected with power (central and regional government, headquarters of Spanish companies, regional HQ of multinationals, financial institutions) and with knowledge and technological innovation (research centers and universities). It is one of Europe’s largest financial centers and the largest in Spain. In 2008, 72% of Spain’s largest 2,000 companies had their headquarters in Madrid.

The major expansion of the city’s industry occurred during the 20th century, especially in the period following the Spanish Civil War, reaching levels of industrialization found in other European capital cities. The economic output of the city shifted to chemicals, metallurgy, and high-technology production including precision engineering, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Many national and multinational companies set up headquarters in the city, encouraged by its function as the center of government. At the same time, workers’ commissions (Comisiones Obreras), although illegal under the legislation of the Franco period, were set up in the factories that now surrounded the city.

In 2009, Madrid’s per capita GDP lay 11% behind the average of the top 10 cities of the EU (it had been 14% behind in 2000). This is explained by lower rates of employment and, to a lesser extent, by lower labor productivity, but Madrid is catching up on both these factors, with productivity growing 2.5% pa in real terms. The Iberian country’s economy is back in full swing and the investors that once shunned it for its toxic mix of high unemployment, troubled banking sector and free-falling real estate values are now staging a return. The signs of recovery are breathing new life

into the real estate sector. In particular, Madrid’s prime real estate market has been thriving for some time now, bucking the trend for muted growth that’s gripping many of Europe’s urban hubs. According to global real estate advisor Knight Frank, luxury real estate prices grew by 4.9% between March 2014 and March 2015, putting the Spanish capital in 15th place in the league tables of world cities and second among European ones. The development and rapid evolution of demand and supply in the real estate sector is having a direct impact on the way Azca, the financial district in downtown Madrid, behaves. Companies already occupying offices in Azca are moving. On the other hand, new companies are looking forward to place their headquarters in Azca, creating interesting changes on the buildings. These new activities have had curious consequences. Owners are empting the buildings, restoring them and even selling them. In order to comprehend what is currently going on in Azca and what the future holds for Madrid’s economic center, it is important to deeply understand and analyze everything that surrounds this intriguing situation.

SPAIN: A RAPIDLY GROWING ECONOMY When talking about the financial hearts all around the world, the first thing that comes to our minds are cities like New York, Paris, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, etc.

had a GDP of â&#x201A;Ź124.780M in 2011. GDP per capita in 2011 was 74% above the national GDP per capita average and 70% above that of the 27 European Union member states.

These cities play the most important roles as economic hubs, but there are other cities that also have major influence in the financial world, cities like Chicago, Milan, Seoul and Madrid.

All this economical capitals have had immense investments in infrastructure in order to host the companies that are located there. The rental prices for offices on these cities tend to be extremely high. There is a lot of demand for office spaces in these areas and little supply, which makes the market prices rise.

Madrid is one of the most important economic capitals in Europe, and it is considered the economic capital of Spain. The city of Madrid

Madrid has one of the highest rental princes for offices in the world. The prices are comparable to those in Paris, New York and London. These prices are quite shocking considering the overall economic situation of Spain. Although the economy of Spain has recovered from the crisis and is slowly growing, the rental princes for offices go out of the charts.

Apart from that, as Madrid is going through a huge dive in its economy, his price rise is representing great fluctuations in the whole real estate economy. These can provide huge opportunities for investors, but mistakes in management can lead to huge deficits. One thing is for sure, the office market of Madrid is going through a very interesting period.

Prices in Madrid’s office rents followed their request dive since the crisis, and are as well expected to rise in the following years. The experts’ opinion that the median office rent will rise gradually per year - the highest estimated rise in Europe, North America, Africa and Oceania - as well as the request for more higher, grade A office buildings has led to a lot of renovations and modernizations of existing buildings. Such are also Castellana 79 and 81 in the AZCA complex, where large amounts of capital are invested.

The liberalization of the land market in Spain combined with a regional expansion of public infrastructure to drive the urban development of Madrid´s outer peripheri. This was closely tied to the social programme of the PAUs, whose inclusion in the General Plan of 1997 served as political and economic incentive for landowners and ﬁnancial speculators alike, seeking alternatives to the then relatively poorly performing stock market that would last until 2004.

The new neighbourhoods would also attract interest from the corporate sector, with national as well as multinational companies relocating to new headquarters while the prospects for continued growth were still encouraging. The aforementioned developments combine to detract investments in urban areas of the city core, where rehabilitation and revitalisation are pressing issues. Along with flagging out of corporate and private businesses who can afford neither the relatively high rents, nor the accompanying maintenance expenses, areas such as AZCA run the risk of becoming lesser-grade urban environments. At least current occupancy figures would seem to indicate the need to reasses the city´s central business district if it intends to remain the prime location for office space also in the future.

Economic Outlook

How is the Spanish Economy recovering? Madrid Breakdown From the following three maps it can be concluded that the central and older districts of Madrid are doing much better then the rest. With the North on average with a lower unemployment rate then the south.

Number of Jobs [2012]

> 150,000 100,000-150,000 50,000-100,000 < 50,000 N/A

This could be because of three reasons 1) as the construction boom hit Madrid the rich moved towards the north to the hills and parks while the poor stayed in the south in industrial areas. Hence better off citizens reside on the northern side. 2) with the high activity districts of the city sitting towards the central northern areas along the main axe, this makes areas such as Charmantin, Chamberi, Salamanca and Centro main districts for jobs. 16

3) With large tourist based centers in Centro and Business tourism centers based around the new business district there will be more activity in those regions

The two maps on the following pages outline the main relationship between high management jobs and unemployment. With areas where high managements employees reside with lower unemployment rates than those areas where there are less high management residences.

Many of the world’s leading companies own the properties, including Pontegadea (the real estate company owned by Amancio Ortega), GMP, Mutua Madrileña, El Corte Inglés, Metrovacesa, Testa and Infinorsa. Azca has a prime location, in the heart of the Paseo de la Castellana and next to one of the capital’s major transport hubs, Nuevos Ministerios. This area is currently experiencing dramatic changes, both, economically and in terms of infrastructure.

the way they will handle the new economic trend that Madrid is experiencing. As mentioned before, the increase and decrease on the demand for offices is directly related to the economic trends, which means it is constantly changing, and most importantly it can be unpredictable.

“As the national capital, Madrid concentrates activities directly connected with power (central and regional government, headquarters of Spanish companies, regional HQ of multinationals, financial institutions) and with knowledge and technological innovation (research centres and universities). It is one of Europe’s largest financial centres and the largest in Spain. In 2008, 72% of Spain’s largest 2,000 companies had their headquarters in Madrid. The service sector predominates in its economy. The comparative advantages of Madrid have been decisive in capturing the larger part of foreign investment coming into Spain in recent years. It is the third metropolis in the EU by population, and the fourth by gross internal product. Leading employers include Telefónica, Iberia, Prosegur, BBVA, Urbaser, Dragados, and FCC.” As a consequence of the predomination of the service sector, the demand for SOURCE: BNPoffi PARIBAS ESTATE ces inREAL Madrid is high. This demand was extremely reduced after the crisis of 2008, only in the past two years, since 2014, there has been a visible increment on the demand for offices. In 2015 we see that the demand doubled, which indicates the recovery of Madrid from the economic crisis.

Predictions of the real estate market suggest that in the coming years, the demand will keep on increasing, mainly due to the improvement of the economy and new international investments. The high demand seen in Madrid means, for the real estate market, a possibility of price increase, especially in areas considered as prime. International companies looking to invest in Madrid, usually use Madrid as a location for their headquarters, which means they tend to search for places that can host a big amount of people. In the center of Madrid, because of the type of buildings and the lack of space, it is challenging for companies find a place that can meet their need. This leaves the two main economic centers in Madrid as the main options for companies looking to place their headquarters in Madrid.

Both Azca and the Cuatro Torres, the economic centers of Madrid, are experiencing big changes in relation to demand, which means that the owners of the real estate properties have had to make important decisions about

When comparing the evolution of office rental prices in different areas in Madrid, the immense gap, between places that are considered prime and those that are not, becomes evident. The massive demand for offices in the areas that are centralized, or belong to the financial district, have made the rental princes increase greatly. The evolution of the prices during the last 10 years has vary significantly, this is mainly due to the economic booms and crises, before the 2008 crisis we can see the prices reaching the highest numbers from the 10 years, this shows that during economic booms the real estate markets tends to create a real state bubble, when the crisis hits and this bubble explodes, the rental prices of offices crash. In the context of Madrid this economic crisis and the crash of the real estate market has 132

taken 7 years to begin its recovery, from 2008 until 2015 the prices have only decreased. In the last year, the rental prices for offices have seen a positive outcome, prices are starting to increase, which means that those who owning real estate properties will try to take advantage of this new trend in the market. It is important to highlight that this increase on the office rental prices could be pointing to a new real estate bubble, in fact, the predictions for 2019 show that the rental prices could reach numbers as high as those seen during 2008 before the crisis hit. When looking at the first diagram, one can conclude that the booms and crises of the real estate market hit much harder to those areas that are centralized, mainly because those are the ones that are mostly affected by the economic trends. The office spaces that are located outside what is considered the prime

office areas have a less variations, and therefore their prices have more stability. Prime office spaces are extremely sensible to economic trends, which makes it hard to predict the way they will behave, even with this unpredictability, the owners of prime office spaces seem to make decisions like selling or buying buildings, based on assumptions made from the economic forecasts. Since the prime office spaces play an importance role on the behavior of the real estate market, the decisions that the owners of these prime office spaces make about way they will handle their properties, tends to affect the entire market, which creates a fake market that bases itself on the decisions of those owning real estate properties.

The prices of offices in Madrid have been rising since 2013, this growth is directly connected with the general recovery of the city from the crisis and the GDP growth of the last years. “According to the consultancy firm JLL, the scarce supply and improving economy will cause office rental prices in Madrid and Barcelona to rise by more than anywhere else in the EMEA region over the next five years”.

ing them to occupancy levels one cannot understand why the towers in Azca are Empty. The reason behind the vacancy of the towers is based on the market prices speculation. The owners of the towers are waiting for the prices of office rent to increase in order to make contracts then. Madrid has some of the highest forecasts for (rental) income growth over the next five years of any city in Europe.

the Master Plan for the area, which will favor (higher) prices; how Azca is going to change in terms of immediate availability, since various buildings are currently being refurbished, which will work in the area’s favor, but that will also mean there is more supply and therefore, tenants will have greater bargaining power, which may contain the increase to some extent.

Specifically, the consultancy expects that office rents will rise in Madrid by 6.2% each year on average, from €25/m2/month in 2014 to €34.5/m2/ month in 2019. Meanwhile, rents in Barcelona will increase by 5.3% per year, to €23/m2/ month by the end of 2019. The highest rents will be seen in the prime areas, i.e. in the central business districts: Azca in Madrid and Avenida Diagonal (between Francesc Macia and Maria Cristina) in Barcelona.Prices of offices in Azca are expected to grow even more in the next few years.” When looking at these numbers and compar-

Currently, according to data from Knight Frank, its vacancy rate amounts to 11.9%, although in the central business district, known as in the jargon of the trade as CBD, the figure decreases to 7.3%, and for Grade A buildings (highest quality) within the M-30, the vacancy rate is a low as 2%. This means that there are very few good buildings (available) in prime areas in Madrid. Patricio Palomar, Director of Alternative Investments at CBRE provides a good summary of where Azca is going and the price of its rentals: “To analyze the evolution, three points should be taken into account:

The third element is that there are few square meters concentrated in one area in Madrid and there are few high quality buildings for tenants looking to rent more than 10,000 m2 of space inside the M-30; a supply that Azca will indeed have (in the not too distant future). Add to that the fact that many tenants of this type, which moved to peripheral areas in the past, now want to return to locations such as this one, make me think that we will see price increases”.

AZCA: MAIN TRANSACTIONS GDP

TIMELINE MAIN TRANSCTIONS Madrid’s office real estate was hurt badly from the 2008 crisis onwards, where the renting applications more than halved themselves. Businesses are searching for good quality offices inside the m30 highway area, where vacancy rates drop again after years of increases. Experts agree that Madrid’s real estate is out of the deathly danger of the period from 2008 to 2014, but its full recovery will be timely and full of traps. During the crisis there were a lot of real estate sales in madrid, espacially in AZCA, where there were some big real estate sales. Some big real estate companies wanted to invest in AZCA’s real estate and gain ground. The big players are INDITEX, who bought Torre Picasso. GMP who bought Castellana 81, Torre Negra, and Torre Edera, Saint Gobain, El corte inglais, who built Torre Windsor and bought a big plot, Financiera Alba who bought Castellana 89 and Ahorro building. Castellana 89 was sold with a big profit,12 years after being bought. Compared to other areas of Madrid, there is more trust in the economy and in the real estate market in AZCA, so companies are interested in investing in the complex.

Current Relative Price Distribution of Rental Properties in Area Surrounding AZCA, Nov. 2015

AZCA: THE SITUATION AZCA is a site where high activity occurs (Where high activity jobs are at a higher density and where high activity sales occur), with this according to Savills Research group [an real estate company based in England] for a lease of 3-2 years it would cost 663 euros per square meter and 27,155 euros per employee taking into consideration of agency fee, fit outs, land tax, rent and service charges for 250 square meters. This “package” as advertised by the company would be big enough for an office of 6 people with 5 car parking spaces along with 5 month free rent. In comparison by the same company of office space located in Manoteras, in the Northern area, where 3,900 square meters for 327 employees would cost 169 euros per square meters and 1,996 euros per employee. Taking into consideration of the two areas and the cost different between them, AZCA renting prices are much higher then the northern areas.

COMPANIES WHO MOVED OUT OF AZCA There were a couple of big companies who moved out of AZCA the last decade, they moved to others regions in Madrid. In the map is shown the M-30 highway and the castallana road. This two roads are important to understand the areas of the city. Close to castallana road in the center is the prime area also called CBD. Around this area still in btween the M-30 Highway is the center area. Outside of the M-30 Highway are the decenter areas. The red lines show the companies how move out of AZCA, The blue lines show the companies how move into AZCA. The thicker the lines are the more offices space the companies occupy. Azca and Quatre Torres are seen as prime offices areas. Azca is the area where all the lines come from or go to. Quatre Torres is the the area where KPMG moves to. BBVA moved out of Torre Negra, also known as the BBVA tower. They moved to a new build building in the area called Las Tablas outside of the M-30 highway. FCC moved out of Torre Picasso, they also owned the Torre Picasso, but resently solled it. They moved to a new build building in the neighbourhood called Las Tablas outside of the M-30 highway.

SEVEN IDEAS THAT WIL CHANGE THE SPANISH ECONOMY

144

Open the door!

XXL

Change!

Support companies in their outward orientation, by promoting the increase in exports or attracting foreign direct investment.

Promote the creation of larger companies, capable of tackling changes and investment requirements to improve productivity and competitiveness.

Labour capacity adapts more easily to fluctuations in demand and economic dynamics - salaries are increased only through productivity increases (meritocracy).

Invest on education

Social Economy

Look at the future.

According to economic demands, the right levels of preparation must be available in terms of secondary and higher education; the variety of specializations offered at the university level and the numbers of graduates within each must also be suited and continually adapted to the needs of the economy. Futrhermore, access to international talent must be improved,

Simplify regulations to ease business initiative and the entry and exit of players; simplify administrative processes and improve effectiveness in interactions with entrepreneurs.

Innovation should be promoted, especially in subsectors where it is the key to competitiveness and growth (i.e. tradable goods and business services)

Spain is recovering Spain’s unemployment, gdp and development indexes are currently rising. The country is beginning its recovery already, so there is hope for its economy. With correct management and planning Spain’s economy will be up and running in the following years. After all, it is the 4th largest economy of the EU.

Companies keep their cards The entities already invested in the real estate of Madrid are keeping their properties empty until the setting is clear. These giants don’t take risks that could cost them millions, essentially contributing to vacancy, loss of profit, and ultimately, the crisis itself.

Development is here Experts’ forecasts predict rapid development in all sectors in Spain. Investors are attracted by the current low prices and are more likely to invest in sectors of infrastructure and business.

Fictitious vacancy Madrid’s and AZCA’s high vacancy rates are a result of the aforementioned strategy of real estate owners. Demand for high quality (Grade A) offices in Madrid’s central business district (AZCA included) is as high as ever. Companies are continuously searching for large, high quality office spaces.

Time of opportunities Large fluctuations in the stability of the real estate market means that proper managed investments are going to pay off highly. Therefore, Spain currently is a place of opportunities, and every factor is trying to buy in on a chance for profit.

Dangerous period The aforementioned large fluctuations make the real estate of Madrid a high risk-high reward game. As much possible as it is for an investor to turn out with huge profits, it is for him to get broke in an instant.

CULTURE

147

CULTURE IN MADRID Toward which direction is Spanish culture going? Which are the main tendencies in Madrid today? These are the questions we are trying to answer by analysing the evolution of contemporary cultural scenarios. Our goal is to relate this analysis with historical facts, spatial distribution and demographic information in order to find out if there are cultural patterns in the city. The introduction timeline helps to understand the evolution of culture by comparing them with the main historical facts. The district up show which is the division of quarters, related to the concentration of Spanish and foreign people. Each quarter has its own character and its own stereotypes that sometimes come from cultural issues. For instance, the barrio de las Cortes & Letras is so called because the high concentration of famous writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; houses or for quotes from several books written on the floor. The food analysis is based not only on the most popular dishes, but also on the Spanish time-table. This reflects the rhythms of Spanish people and their habits. Spaces of literature in Spanish are several and sometimes they go beyond the classic bookshops. For instance, Bibliometro is a new system of loan of books present in all of the main metro Stations. This contributes to the spread of culture in a more informal and smart way. At the same time, some cult places for literature are present, such as the Restaurant Botin (the first restaurant in the world), famous for being attended by Ernest Hemingway, or the House of Cervantes. Numerous libraries are present in Madrid. Obviously, they reflect the architecture tendencies of their times. Biblioteca National de Espana, for example, is built in a classic way. On the contrary, the Regional Library and Archives of Madrid, designed by Mansilla & Tunon, re-use part of the ex El Aguila brewery in a more contemporary (and Spanish) way, by using massive shapes opposed to the lightness of the glass. The analysis of magazines cover is also symptomatic of the cultural tendencies in Spain. Comparing some of the most popular covers, is it clear the differences between the ones of the 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, characterized by the influence of avant-gardist art movements, are different from the new ones. The latters reflect the contemporary illustration styles. Rodrigo Sanchezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover for Metropoli (one of the most important cultural magazine of today) shows the will of re-interpret some of Spanish archetypes (by using typical colors for example), declined in a more contemporary way.

148

Not only covers, but also photography and graphic design reflect the changes of times. In this case, there is a clear difference between the works before, during and after La Movida Madrilena. This cultural movement, started

after the death of Franco, had a more pop approach, with shiny colors. Madrid can be considered one of the main world capitals for Street Art. World famous artists have worked there, such as Blu, contributing to this fame. The peculiar thing is that they are able to use street art as a tool for requalification. Sam3 or Cristina Gayarre use the building facades as a huge canvas. Neko exploit the existing billboards to express himself. Also in Azca there are several graffiti, but instead of the city center ones, they are not so accurate nor used from the shops owners as a tool to valorize their shutters. Analysis of the music market shows us the great popularity of Latin, Pop or Dance music. This means that lot of discos are present in the city, especially around Azca. However, is important to underline the differences between discos attended by Latins and Spanish. They have different spatial characteristics and tell us which are the users of the site. The difference between them is also evident by looking at their flyers. Fashion design is really popular in Spain. Spanish designers are famous for their almost sculptural dresses and their colored shoes, clearly influenced by the popular traditions. Several architectural firms are present in Madrid. Among the most popular there are Mansilla & Tunon, Alberto Campo Baeza, Abalos Herreros. But the most important is probably the Pritzker Prize Rafael Moneo, that enriched the city with his project for Atocha Station and the extension of Prado Museum. The final map consists in the overlapping of all the cultural places analysed before. Is it possible to say that there are three places where culture is condensed. Paseo de la Castellana with most of the important museums is one of those. The city center is also full of cultural activities. Here, all of them coexist contributing to create a really dense spot in the map. Azca is the third spot, where a great number of spaces for music is present. Culture is really different in those parts: for instance, graffiti realised on the shutters of city centre shops are way more accurate than the one made in Azca. Spaces for music have different users depending on the quarter: this is reflected in their design. The most interesting info is the fact that the city centre and Tetuan are the quarters with the highest percentage of immigrants (29% and 27%). This means that, apart from institutional culture such as museums on the Paseo de la Castellana, culture rises spontaneously when differences are present.

Comparing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;heartbeatâ&#x20AC;? of three different plazas during a 24h time it is clear that the ones mostly frequented by locals and turists have the most equilibrate and lively rhythm. They are not considered monuments (Plaza Mayor) or mere transition spaces (Plaza Picasso); Sociability and the presence of more activities brings more diverse kinds of people to the public space and during all the day.

FOOD: WHAT SPANIARD AND TOURISTS LOVE Paella Paella has derived from the Old french word Paelle for pan, which in turn comes from the Lain word patella for pan. Valencians uss the word paella for all pans. Origin recipe

Paella Competition and record Types of Paella

Valencian

Vegetarian

Seafood

Mixed

etc.: Arros negre

It is a tradtion at mass gathering in the Valencian Community ,including festivals, political campaigns, protests, etc.,to prepare gigantic paellas. There is a record for the world’s largest paells made by Valencian chef Juan Galbis on 2 October 2001. This paella served about 110,00 people officially, and his record is listed in Guiness World Records.

Tapas Different theories of the origin of tapas A: In 18th century, most of Spaniars, including innkeepers and travelers, were uneducated to read and write, so innkeeper served their guests a sample foods on a “tapa”(the word for pot cover in Spanish). It was a part of communication between them, especially in middleclass. B: People used to cover their sherry glasses between sips with the slices of meat or bread usually in Andalusian taverns. There slices of meat was normally ham or chorizo which are both salty and activate thirst. So bartenders created some menus to serve with sherry, increasing their alcohol sales.

Madrid has a hugh collection of quality museums. They vary from highly classical to modern and from art to science. Almost all museums can be found along the Paseo de la Castellana (see map). The museums in Madrid have very important collections. For example, the Prado Museum has a big collection of Hieronymus Bosch (a.k.a. El Bosco). The Prado is also part of the so called Triángulo del Arte, together Museo Real Madrid

with the Reina Sofía Museum and the ThyssenBornemisza Museum. These are the most prestigious Museums of Madrid. Madrid also has a lot of private collections, that have become museums. And the Matadoro, a complex for art and performances. And then, of course, there is the Museo Real Madrid, dedicaded to all the glorious victories of the famous Madrilean football club.

SPORTS

Real Madrid

Real Madrid is the biggest and most well known football club in Madrid. It also has the most (consequent) succesfull team. Real Madrid is known as a rich club, that also has wealty supporters. Of course this is no longer relevant, since anyone can be a fan. However a Real Madrid jersey still costs about 30 euros more than a Atlético jersy.

Atlético Madrid

El Derbi Madrileño: when Real Madrid faces Atlético Madrid. This club is less succesfull and has therefore less money, but is still a worthy opponent for Real. Atlético is the football club for the workingclass, since they could relate better to it. The derby is seen as a classic fight between the rich madrilean and the poor workingclass.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano is a typical yo-yo-club, always in the shadow of the bigger clubs of Madrid (Real and Atlético). The ska-punk band Ska-P is very imporant to the supporters of this club, since they sing song by Ska-P to support their club.

INE: Number of clubs in the Community of Madrid (2014)

Good skating spots don’t necessarily have to be specially designed skateparks. On the map you can see the best skate spots in Madrid, two of which are actual skateparks. Skating (as well as rollerblading and BMXing) are very popular in Madrid. For example, when the weather is good, the madrilean go to the park (Parque de El Retiro or Parque Madrid Rio) to rollerblade. There are a lot of spots that have a smooth surface and are suitable for rollerblading. In AZCA, the most popular sport is freerunning. The different levels are very good for climbing and jumping. On instagram, under the hashtag #azca you will find numberous videos on freerunning on the premises of the complex. w

Madrid is a hot spot for cinema. Not only is filmed by famous Spanish directors, it also has a cultural scene around it that comprises cinema festivals, cinema schools and the famous Goya Awards. Madrid is constantly being used as a background for recording movies and some of the most important scenes are shot in notorious locations. Icons of Madrid, in both the historical centre and the financial centre, have played an important role in film making since the early beginning of the industry in Spain. In some of these movies, the meaning of these icons goes hand to hand with the narrative. In Álex de la Iglesia’s movie The Day of the Beast, the devil’s signature is identical to Torres Kio, a proof that this is where he lives.

Open Your Eyes (1997) is a movie by Alejandro Amenábar that was filmed in Madrid and reveals amazing footage of the some of the city’s mains locations. The whole movie is a mix of dreams and real events in a man’s life. During a dream, the main character is driving his car in downtown Madrid, when he realizes that everyone is gone. Astonished, he stops the car and starts walking in Gran Via. In the final scene of the movie the man realizes he has been living in a dream. In order to wake up, he goes on a rampage and tries to be killed. Instead, he must jump from Torre Picasso, a ritual that symbolizes the end of the dream. The city assumes a special importance in this movie. Social behaviours, déjà-vu and the environment provide clues in order to distinguish dreams from reality The movie was a success and an English version was filmed some years later in hollywood under the name Vanilla Sky (2001).

Going to the cinema in Madrid can be a very peculiar experience. Most cinemas in Spain exhibit dubbed movies, a tradition that dates back to Franco’s regime and his nationalist ideals. However, many exceptional cinemas can be found all around the city and the differences among them vary in terms of the type, style and language of the movie or even the type of room. Whereas the old Cine Doré and Cine Callao provide the perfect experience for watching classical movies, Cineteca’s highly contemporary cinema rooms seem to match the independent films and documentaries presented there. Another trend in watching movies in madrid are the informal open air summer cinemas, like the Muestra de Cine de Lavapiés, that attracts every kind of people.

SHUTTER DOORS GRAFFITI Shutter doors of Madrid shops are the black canvas for graffiti artists in Madrid. Because of the diffusion of Street Art in Madrid, some businesses have started to commision artwork for their doors, in order to control the imagery on their doors. Walking through the streets is possible to observe the succesion of these graffiti. The blog TravelMarx has decided to map and share a series of shutter door graffiti photographed during their walk across Madrid streets.

Near AZCA more than 15 clubs are presents. Some of them are in the main streets, like Calle Orense, while the others are close to the underground parkings. Even if they can resemble to one another from the outside (except from the underground one), they have completely opposite target of users. Spanish discos like Vanilla Castellana 118 are exclusively for Spanish people from the middle class. On the contrary, because of the high percentage of foreigners in TetĂšan, other discoteques are attendend only by Latinos, for instance Tokyo Latino.

Also the interiors of the two clubs are completely different. In the Spanish disco lot of attention is payed to the interior design, to the light system of the place, to the creation of different ambients inside. Tokyo Latino interiors lack of this attention. It looks like a huge empty room, with just a console, a bar and some chairs.

The people of Tetuan call the Calle de Bravo Murillo the line between the rich part (East, next to AZCA) and the poor part (West) of Tetuan. Tetuan has one of the highest percentages of South American immigrants (especially in Bellas Vistas) and at the same time the most dense populated district of Madrid. It is somethimes called El Pequeño Caribe (the small Caribean). The Calle de Bravo Murillo is the main street trough Tetuan. This is the street that is the most crowded and where most stores can be found. To the right of this street, bigger buildingblocks rise up, while on the ‘bad’-side, the typical small houses and the seemingly unorganized streets of Tetuan remain.

Latin American immigrants have a hard time integrating into the Spanish culture. They face an unexpected language barrier, since the Spanish they speak is different to the Spanish the Madrilean speak. Above that, children of the Latin American immigrants have difficulty at school. Their previous education does not live up to the one in Spain, and the Spanish teachers do not know how to deal with these children. The educational lag and the language barrier make it nearly impossible to integrate in to the Madrilean life. “They live in a world that is separate from the mainstream of Spanish society”. The reality of the Spanish life does not live up to the expectations. There is no work, which makes integration even more difficult. A report of the lives of few Ecuadorion women showes that they start missing their own land and their culture. Whitin the Latin American population, women who migrate to Europe are seen as deserters

of their country, whereas men are seen as pioneers, that leave in order to provide for their family, which makes it even harder to find a place in society. AZCA used to provide a small piece of culture, in the form of nightlife. The underground scene of reggaetón clubs in los Bajos de AZCA was in 2005 at its peak. It was the biggest reggaetón scene in Europe, with 10 clubs and 10.000 visitors each weekend. These dicotecas latinas started in 1998 and gave the Latin America population of Madrid a part of their own culture back. The underground of AZCA was, admittedly, not the nicest place to be, but at least it was something they could relate to, says a Ecuadorian woman in “Ecuadorians in Madrid: Migrants’ Place in Urban History”. In 2006, the discotecas latinas were gradually shut down, due to organized crime and violence that was linked to Latino gangs like

The Latin Kings, Los Ñetas and Domenicans Don’t Play (DDP). They were said to have a big presence in the underground of AZCA and there have been shootings in and arround Calle Orense. These gangs are relatively small and do not represent the whole Latin American community in Madrid. Nevertheless, the Madrilean police and the city counsil shut down almost all the discotecas latinas in order to revitalize AZCA. In texts about the “revitalization of AZCA” one thing always comes up: the closing of the discotecas latinas.

INVISIBLES DE TETUAN This document has been spreaded on the internet by an association called ‘Invisibles de Tetùan’. It summarises the basic needs and defects affecting the inhabitants of the district. A statement inside their webpage expresses pretty well their concearns: “The idea is to obtain an approximation to the precarious conditions of life and work of one of the neighborhood in terms of income, employment , housing and health.” It is organized in six points, illustrating the six main issues of the

inhabitants. Here are listed the topics of each of them. 1. Rent and poverty A third of the households in Tetùan is suffering economic hardship, the fifth is at risk of exclusion and about 7% in extreme poverty (10,600 people in 4,400 households, approximately). 2. Minimum benefits of subsistence The Minimum Insertion Income (RMI)

only reaches the eighth of those in extreme poverty. Three out of four RMI requests are denied, so they have to find other outlets: Caritas aid, begging, searching the garbage, etc. The redistribution of the 1% of the income inside the district would be sufficient to resolve these cases. 3. Unemployment, wages, unemployment benefits The fifth of the working population is unemployed Tetùan. In half the cases they take more than a year looking for work and receive no financial benefits whatsoever. Youth is the most affected, with an unemployment rate of 49% and most temporary contracts when they find employment. 4. Housing 10% of households in the district can not pay the rent or mortgage payment on your home. This leads to frequent foreclosures, evictions and releases, plus cuts supply of water and electricity. Bellas Vistas and Valdeacederas neighbourhoods are the most depressed. 5. Pensions, dependency aid, health The fifth of the residents are elderly and more than 8,000 live alone, often with very low pensions. Disease and disability affect more than 80% of the population but less than 2% receive dependency aid. From RDL 16/2012, more than 3,000 people in the district have been excluded from the health card. 6. Immigrant population: a half-blooded district Tetùan is a half-blooded district with a high portion immigrants and mixed families. However, in 2012 it started the process of people (immigrant and native) leaving the Spanish country, as a result of the economic crisis and unemployment.

The campaign “Invisibles de Tetùan” is trying to give awareness of the district’s problems to the government of the city and to other citizens. They are trying to give a face to all the people in disease; this takes place through their website as well as afﬁxing posters of people and their stories.

The average citizen going to the bloc in AZCA, facing Calle Orense, will most likely go to an office or shopping. Despite being the main street of the bloc, the number of spaces in a precarious situation (either vacant or unknown), is considerably higher. The passerby is not invited to stay for a long time in most of the establishments, that are open mostly during day.

Comparable to the main street, mainly services and anonymous spaces are facing Calle A. de Betancourt. On the other hand, a surprisingly higher number of discos and cafes/restaurants engage in a direct relation with the back street, despite a lower amount of people circulating there. The passerby is prone to stay longer in establishment in this street, and bigger groups of people will most likely be spotted at night.

Fashion world in Spain is characterized by the relationship with two economic sectors: the textile and the footwear fields. These two industries, recently, have faced a period of transformation. The main consequence has been a greater turnover and a strong presence of Spanish brands both in national and international markets. So today Spanish fashion design enjoys a period of recognised prestige. This is also because of the main Fashion showcases: for instance, the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Madrid, the 080 Barcelona Fashion or the Valencia Fashion Week are comparable to the main European Fashion events such as Milan, London or Paris Fashion weeks. Some of the recurrent topics in Spanish Fashion Design is the remind to architectural or sculptural shapes. This is evident especially in the works of Amaya Arzuaga or Adolfo Dominguez.

Spanish is currently experiencing a revolution in the architecture field. Several offices based in Madrid are gaining worldwide recognition. The Prizker Prize Rafael Moneoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buildings and writings have huge influence on the new generations of architects. Firms like Alberto Campo Baeza and Mansilla & Tunon are contributing to the worldwide diffusion of the Spanish architecture. A kind of architecture characterized by the attention to the genius loci, the soul of the place. The main tendence today is a sort of recover of this vernacular tradition. This leads to the creation of monolythic forms, realised in clear stone, concrete or white plaster, that create a strong relationship with the context.

Functional period 1880 - 1900 The first sckyscrapers where built after a structural revolution. Instead of heavy brickwork slender steel frames were being used to construct facade and loadbrearing elements.

Eclectic period 1900 - 1920 At the beginning of the 20th century designs became more flamboyant. European Gothic and Renaissance elements were applied to the New York rises of capitalism.

Art Deco period 1920 - 1940 The decorations of the eclectic period became more pronounced. There was an emphasis on rich colours, bold geometric shapes and lavish ornamentation. One of its major attributes is an embrace of technology. International style 1950 - 1970 At the beginning of the 20th century designs became more flamboyant.

EVOLUTION OF THE SKYSCRAPER

Superhigh period 1965- 1975 In the 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the skyscraper was rediscoverd as a symbol of economical power. This return to the individualism of the 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was inspired by the technological innovation and the aversion of the glass box towers. Social skyscraper 1970 - 1980 After a period of experimenting skyscraper architects were focussing on the precense and interaction with the environment. They searched for a way to make the tall structures realtable to human size and structure. Postmodern period 1980 - ... In postmoderism color, shape and decoration became important again. It evolved into a modern version of the eclectic style.

Neo-Futurism 1990 - .... The newest super structures reach for the sky in diverse forms. Primarily popular big cities in asian and middle eastern regios. Focus is on building impressive and iconic skyscrapers.

The manifestation of these styles in local context was a response to local conditions in addition to the advaces that were was going on in the rest of the world.

Thus building typology is linked to the architectural styles and movements that began with time.

SKYSCRAPERS IN MADRID

23 25 24 26

the towers in specific groups. Pre-war, afterwar, AZCA, symbolic and the Cuatro towers.

Characteristic for pre- and after-war towers is the use of stone and the majestic look. From

the 1970s the development of AZCA starts and more steel and glass is being used. The position of the towers is more north in the city instead of the centre where the pre- and afterwar towers are located. Three towers in this

to Europe’, they open the way to the new financial district in where the Cuatro Torres are located. With these skyscrapers Madrid has a new financial district that makes Madrid the European Metropool it wants to be. These four towers were planned in 2004, before economic crisis hit.

TORRE PICASSO, MAHOU and EUROPA

Torre Picasso, Torre Mahou and Torre Europa differ on both structural and programatic aspects. Because of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central position within the complex, Torre Picasso is greatly affected by the underground organisation, mainly the roads and the ventilation system. The core of Picasso is hollow to allow for air circulation in the underground. It is composed of a concrete core with a load-bearing metal facade, similar to the other projects of Minoru Yamasaki, like the World Trade Center. Torre Mahou also serves as a chimney for the underground. However, it has a curtain facade, which is supported by the concrete floor and columns. The core segments the tower in two identical parts. Torre Europa does not serve as a chimney, and therefore the core is more compact than the previous two. Despite its curved beams, the facade is load bearing.
