My name is JosĂŠ Ignacio SuĂĄrez Praun, I was born in Guatemala and lived there my whole childhood. Over the years, I had also the opportunity to live and study in the United States and Spain learning and adapting to very diferent cultures and societies. I discovered my passion for art and architecture at a very young age, which has allowed me to follow and develop my career till now. Being able to travel throughout America, Europe and Northern Africa made me more conscious about housing, cities and different ways of living under very diverse conditions.

CASTELLANA-PRADO-MENDEZ ALVARO MAINSHAFT Urban problems connecting , accessibility, definition of uses and activities and local and urban facilities posing the area delimited by reference, and the necessary redefinition of the role to be played by the urban elements including determinants (New Atocha railway complex and areas of development planning ; Delicias station and the space southeast of it, including the Tierno Galván park , east 30th Street and bow railway station containers Abroñigal ) make necessary exceed the scope and content of the regulated Plan special planned urban urban vision and propose a broader and comprehensive nature , which allows file management and intervention in the area described alternatives. These circumstances justify the choice and the need for a framework broader , more flexible and ambitious to establish territorial, urban and planning guidelines for a strategic area of the city. It is for this reason that the development of a master plan instead of a special instrument regulated urban planning is proposed. From this perspective, the inner part of the designated area is a very unique urban piece located between the unique projects Recoletos Madrid Prado and Rio . These projects are defining the management and running of two significant urbanization representation spaces of the city of Madrid. In this sense, this Master Plan raises the desirability of facilitating and promoting a “ continuum “ physical, functional between these two large urban areas preferably for leisure and civic culture , building a structure of self. Meanwhile the outer part is one of the key strategic urban future and raise alternatives linked also to the “solution of continuity “ physical and functional integrated transport system , and / or processing of the same and future urban uses , allow to outline alternatives to the center-south relations and , therefore , assess the medium and long term.
