VIGO2 (squared Vigo) two actiation levels 1. connect public spaces 2. give a second use to the old infrastructures
Urban Permeability - Green passage
In order to connect Vigo’s downtown a green route is created. This green passage comes from the southern park until the green area next to the cityhall. A new structure supported in the old factory building mkes this connection. The intervention also connects the public plaza in front of the city hall with the space between the factory creating a public square.

Adaptative Reuse
This intervention proposes a change of use in the abandoned buildings. Taking profit of its shape and privileged localization in the city this project converts this area into a cultural space (museum, creative area, restaurent, market) All this activities have the aim of reactivating this part of the city. Even the use is new the project follows the idea of keeping the existent structure as untouched as possible, in order to do so all the activities are located in boxes inside the old buildings.

Efficiency - Box in a Box
All the inside building interventions follow the Box in a Box idea in order to make this intervention more efficient. There are two ways of applying this field, placing one box inside the old infrastructure or building a second skin to it, in both ways the result is the same: have an intermediate space to act as a temperature controller.

Urban Permeability
The public spaces turns out to be either outdoor and indoor spaces, flowing as a river that sews all the diverse uses of the project. without even noticin eich can go inside the museum in a easy way. we propose a “parcour” inspired in highline park in wich we mix city pavements and nature.

Adaptive Recuse Last Housing level LEVEL 3
We are highly interested in mantaining the existing building as long as they are not so damaged. That we way, by simply using the so well known “box in a box” we propose a recovery of the abandoned bread factory and transforming it into a city museum, dweling, comerce and on top of it a comfortable public space.

Efficiency
We understand energy efitienty as avoiding from the begining it’s use, or reducing it to the minimum. We proposo working on the skins in two ways. The first one by creating “a box in a box” the second one by enlarging outside this skin with gardened covers, galician galeries and trombe wall. That way we obtain an intermediate space that acts as an isolating layer.
