* Tourism, again. Are we facing a return to the economic model of “sun and beach”? Are we prepared to re-think a productive model, already successful in past decades, to adapt it to a ecologically and culturally sensitive context? According to the current economic difficulties and analysing the benefits of Tourism in Spain, we think not only this condition is necessary to consolidate the country as the first European tourist destination, but geographically restructured to achieve a more diverse offer, ensuring a greater international projection. The architectural thought and research have been absent from the shaping-processes of the economic landscapes related to tourism models. It is now time to use architecture to propose an update of the operating strategies for the exploitation of cultural and natural resources, seeking an economic and ecological balance that will allow achieving a high sustainable growth.

Introducción

We will explore other landscapes and territories to propose diversity. We will define a more consistent and extensive network, one in order to create new models for progress in some forgotten environments, absolutely susceptible to have a second chance. Our actions and architectural proposals will be narrated through a new lexical where words like diversity, sustainability or energy, will match concepts such as profitability, economy, benefit, autonomy, identity, without forgetting other known languages as the exchange, the event, the time offer, heritage, human and natural landscape.

The presented projects make strong emphasis in the combination ‘tourist-resident’, extending the range of the tourism in daily life and vice versa. We are putting forward a kind of investment that doesn’t become the environment in a mere appeal of consumption. The proposals look for a great capacity of transformation in aesthetic, social, cultural terms and in the economy of the villages. We attempt to build identity environments with high capacity of transformation, capable of coexisting with the natural landscape, architectural and existing urban conditions.

FINAL LAP Facing the Grad Project * Framework The starting point of the final project research is Iberia Total: the Iberian Peninsula understood as a strong touristic destination, the theoretical frame or support where the specific proposal (the architecture project) takes place. It seems important to implement a geographic and territorial reorganization for the Iberian Peninsula to become a global touristic destination, targeted not only to those tourists interested in the “sun and beach” offer, but also appealing to what Asian and American tourists demand. Visitors are not only attracted by sun and beach holidays, but also by the vast variety of holidays tailored to the interests of each visitor. In recent years, Spain has been confronted with the challenge of sustainable and diversified growth. The objective of such challenge is to complement the sun and sea supply with new forms of tourism, in order to create a new demand for quality that moreover contributes to increase the tourist expenditure. Thus, the undergraduate thesis project propose to redefine that touristic map to transform the whole peninsula as a complete and complex tourist network. * A specific frame within Iberia Total The selected area has been the cross-border region of Lower Bidasoa, understood as a strategic location in terms of communications between the African and European continent. This strategic location makes the cross-border territory, the perfect scenario to launch a series of performances with the capacity of activate tourism “glocal” networks and invert the current dynamics of regional growth and promote a new model of economic, social and environmental development, much more sustainable than the models that currently characterize the region.

* The result The resul of this undergraduate thesis project is a complet project, understood and developed in all posible architectural scales. A personal project which is partly a reflection of who has done. Interests, concerns, prior knowledge and more acquiered for the occasion, all captured in an exercise developed as in real life; in just six months, with good and bad moments, but mostly, with great gusto and energy.

Personal reflection

Thus, all thinking and actions contained in this portfolio will always remain a constant tension between concepts such as diversity, sustainability, profitability, economy, profit, autonomy, identity, etc.

BIOGRAPHY The walked road.

My name is Ruben Tapias Cañas, and as José Ortega y Gasset would say, I am myself and my circumstance. That circumstance begins on February 6, 1991; day that I was born in the same town in which now I´m writing these words, Segovia. From that moment my circumstances began to acquire complexity, to enrich and create an increasingly clear and mature identity; the identity which now defines me as a person and architect. I could establish a division in three blocks of the creation of this identity: - Environment, family: they formed the basis of my circumstances, I got some basic tools to defend myself of what was to come. - Compulsory education: imposed, supposedly essential to meet the professional future. - Higher education: first free and individual decision of my circumstances. I decided to be an architect, and thus to have architecture as a companion for the rest of the way. I am this one walking beside me whom I do not see, whom at times I manage to visit, and whom at other times I forget; who remains calm and silent while I talk, and forgives, gently, when I hate, who walks where I am not, who will remain standing when I die.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

MEMORY Anticipating the problem.

1785m of virgin platform is the legacy of a failed and -in the near futureextinct airport. A space in permanent conflict with the nearby airport of Biarritz (much higher) and currently rejected by the three adjacent cities due its invasive nature and ridiculously low benefit to the local economy. Thus, it is proposed the substitution of an infrastructure with global influence like an airport, for another infrastructure also with global influence like a cross-border space of competition. So, it is proposed the reinvention of a very singular and unique space, into another space also with a very singular and unique nature.

WORKSHOP 1

This analysis takes as a study area the Low Bidasoa area -in the FranceSpain border-, understanding this area as the perfect example of environmental, social and economic unsustainability.

WORKSHOP 1 -Thematic: Socioeconomic analysis - Tutor: Izaskun Chinchilla

*In a first approach to the project a cross border area analysis is performed -using heuristics techniques- in sociological, economic and environmental terms, always with tourism as horizon. From this analysis, the first statement will be obtained.

All the activities -economic and environmental- that coexist today in this region are te result of a strategic location in global terms; because it is a key area -working as a gateway- for air, land and sea transportation between the European and African continents. Thus, logistic (because of the different transportation politics between the border countries) becomes the main economic value to the region, making this an important “hub” in the exchange of goods. However, and for the same reason, it is also a key area in the migratory movement of birds and fish, which finds in the estuary of Bidasoa the perfect place to rest during their long journeys. We are now faced with the crossroads of a natural paradise that acts as the main supporter of the region’s tourism and transport infrastructures with high environmental impact but necessaries for tourist arrivals. Moreover, an analysis reveals the future unsustainability and imminent expiry of the economic model supporting the region:

-Reducing the infrastructure.

environmental

impact

- The new European policy for transport (RTE-T) contained in the “White Paper” provides for standardization in the rail gauge of the European Union. This will lead to a free transit railways, obtaining up to 85% obsolete of the existing railways beaches in the region (currently dedicated to goods transshipment).

W1_ Socioeconomic Analysis

- Also the construction of new highways -and subsequent extension of the same- as the A-8 has led to legacy national secondary roads as RN-10 which is nowadays obsolete.

- Hondarribia Airport has a more negative than positive effect on tourism and environmental terms because of its critical location. Moreover, the nearby airport of Biarritz is not been exploited to their full capacity. - In maritime transport also results an overlap of functions easily solved by an appropriate management plan and cross-border collaboration. -Great infrastructures as an added value to tourism.

*5 GOALS, 5 ICONS Icon 1: Program.

After the problems detected with the first analysis, we proceed to the preparation of 5 project objectives -related tourism- to improve the situation in the region in social, environmental and economic terms. The first goal refers to the program, and raises the possibility of an exchange infrastructure, that encourages the following: -Replace: replacement of outdated transport infrastructure. -Delete: “artificial” platforms reclaimed from the sea. -Reorganize: natural for industrial, people for goods.

In this case, a “glocal” expectation tourism looking for experiences and sensations exchange is identified as target . Defining this target we pretend the following: -Combine: combination of existing tourism infrastructure to use them as an object of consumption itself, and not as an intermediary object to access to the final object of consumption.

*5 GOALS, 5 ICONS Icon 3: Environmental policy.

One of the critical points detected in the initial analysis, is the coexistence of huge and powerful infrastructures and a privileged ecosystem in the area. So, the strategy acts to the detriment of more polluting transportation infrastructure, favouring the use of less polluting. It will be the following: -Magnify: Enhance the natural environment and tourist attraction, and therefore, as an economic generator.

*5 GOALS, 5 ICONS Icon 4: Material philosophy.

A common feature to all these powerful logistics infrastructures presents in place, is the high cost and recyclability of materials. Being most of its components from metal, wood and aggregates, it seems clear that a strategy of recycling them will save us money (as it would be more expensive to dismantle and dispose of such materials). Therefore, the following material philosophy is proposed: -Adapt: Development and adaptation of existing infrastructural network to the new needs of the place.

Finally, a first approach is proposed for some components of the future project. For the high burden of infrastructure in the region, and we sense that they will be implemented as an active project. However, such infrastructures are more focused on the transit of goods, being in some cases necessary any operational inclusion to have a real tourist active. -Implement: Incorporate the necessary elements to obtain a competent tourism infrastructure.

WORKSHOP 2

WORKSHOP 2 -Thematic: Territory analysis. - Tutor: Monica García + Laura Martinez de

Continuing with Low Bidasoa area as a case study, we face an analysis of territorial approach related to tourism. Now try to determine the keys that allow us -from the generation of a tourist scenario with architecture as a tool of intervention- make a project with a social and economic benefit to the region and its inhabitants.

Guereñu * The second approach aims to provide a comprehensive view of the territory, understanding their current and potential values and identifying existing problems to finally, give an answer -again- in terms of project intentions. Thus, during the workshop, a chart mapping with all inputs that operate on the territory is generated. Also a basic territorial project strategies and two territorial postcards with a personal vision are created.

W2_ Territory analysis

Airport infrastructure

Sociologist José Miguel Iribas, says in a contemporary vision of tourism that the actual tourism dynamics suggest that tourism is not an industry of space but one of time, meaning that the tourist does not purchase land depending on the social, cultural or environmental features, but in fact purchases the time that he is going to spend there, which is subject to the amount of activities and experience that he can acquire from the area. Thus, the question is how to reconcile a non-touristy productive structure -like the actual in the area- with a particular tourist offer, for a particular target. Furthermore, as we saw in the previous socio-economic analysis, production structure of this region is based on the activities encouraged by the existence of strong infrastructures; or what is the same, that infrastructures are those that determine the socio-economic character of the place, and in a way, the tourist character the same. So, if this infrastructure were in the past largely responsible for the change in the region, now would not it be logical that they would once again be responsible for a change in the social and productive structure giving a higher tourist approach to the region? Thus, the conflictive area of Fuenterrabía airport is identified as the most damaging infrastructure for Social, environmental and -soon to be, because of its inevitable demise - economical welfare. This infrastructure is defined as an interface between urban and natural, productive and touristy. The proposal involves the conversion of the current barrier in a new gateway to the Bidasoa estuary. Furthermore, the disappearance of the current use of airport with the passengers diverting to Biarritz Airport is previously programmed, and also the replacement by a new program with global influence, able to manage and mobilize a network of global connections that allows to implement sustainable tourism programs in terms of sustainability, economy, society and environment.

New reading over the territory.

Bayona

Biarritz

The closeness between the different towns from San Sebastian to Bayonne, makes the 8 cities within the study area form a single urban area in practice. Fuenterraia

However, this vision of “Eurocity” is hampered by a nationalist reading of Spain and France governments, causing a duplicity of functions on both sides of the border, just as with Biarritz and Hondarribia airports happens.

Irún Pasajes San Sebastian

Biarritz Airport: - 786.000 passengers/year - Capacity: 1.000.000 passengers/year (Ability to absorb the flow of Hondarribia Airport passengers)

Thus, the project 1785m ims to make even more evident this idea of Eurocity, and promote a new policy of cooperation and “europeanist” vision between nations, converting the existing Fuenterrabia airport into a global sports competition space.

Low Bidasoa Estuary.

Bidasoa natural reserve is home of a rich biodiversity, generated largely by the migration of birds and fish and the coexistence of many different habitats. However, the airport is currently a clear barrier to expansion of the ecosystem, which tends -without succeed to colonize the launch pad. This dynamic is reversed with the implementation of the project, changing the situation f the airport from being an obstacle to be an incentive to the expansion of the ecosystem

* From the opening of new channels to free the river flows at the mouth of Bidasoa, we obtained 227,500 m3 of aggregates. Now, these aggregates are reused in the creation of new topographies on the platform; providing strategically located “watchtowers” -in terms of visuals to the circuit and bay-, hills of expectation over the competition areas and slopes to protect Hondarribia urban areas acoustically.

of the energy consumed, produced by hydro.

Thus, international competition border zone 1785m, uses the following energetic systems: -Surface Geothermal to exploit the thermal inertia of the airstrip asphalt. -Small hydroelectric plants generating electricity from the strong currents generated in the new opened channels. Geothermal station (captures the cumulative surface heat by the tarmac).

-Textile mesh as an outer skin to provide an optimal solar protection. -Vertical silk-screened louvres inside to protect from the sun and provide good insight into the circuit at the same time. -Exterior vegetation areas in the main spreading zones to facilitate adiabatic cooling.

The Basque tradition speaks on the fact of watch the shows from the gentle slope of the hill. Thus, the project incorporates strategic enclaves in terms of visibility with this type of vegetable “hills” formed with land taken from the opening of new channels. These hills also have a role in reducing acoustic noise emitted into the bay and Hondarribia.

Zona común hotel Viewpoint equipped with bar and restaurant, only for hotel guests. This space interrupts the continuity of the skin to get a clean space with views of the bay and the circuit. It also establishes a vertical filter privacy between rooms and other common areas.

7 - Acoustic pieces Circular pieces of perforated aluminium and foam core for soundabsorbent.

4- Light work stage: After having built the huge bands of program and speed from the hand of big companies specialized in concrete; the last begins to be colonized following a scheme to “support + hang”, this time from the hand of several small local construction companies.

Pista tránsito ligero The deck becomes a third band, -with less presence- enabling circulation of kart’s, bikes, skates, etc. This band keeps a fully independent movement of the two major, so it becomes a simultaneous second circuit.

2- Civil engineering stage 1: Construction of speed band to allow a racetrack with FIA approval. (After this phase, the competition program could begin to be effective).

Poles for protective mesh holding. These poles also incorporate race track lighting itself, much more powerful that the required in other spaces.

6 - Rigid PVC louvres Light screen-printed pieces of triangular section to show advertises. The perception of advertising varies depending on the direction we walk in the building because of the anamorphosis effect.

1- Excavation and landscaping stage: Opening new channels using sheet piles and relocation of removed earth.

5 - Security glass + LED display The FIA rules for spectator areas forces to bring protection elements (in this case glass to maximize visibility) between spectators and race track. This skin covers the edge of the programmatic slab and is accompanied by a LED display with textile base, which strengthens the slabs, while serving as an advertising medium and live broadcast.

Main lighting Spotlights tower for general lighting. The inclination of the tower counterbalances and tightens the outer skin.

Bay walkway Continuation of bay promenade linking Hondarribia with the program band program at specific points, and finally connecting with Plaiaundi.

4 - Store-front + glass louvres Glass wall rigidified with tempered glass louvres.

Public circulation area The program band has a main public circulation space around which advertising sponsors throng. This space has an accessible and continuous path (similar to the racing line of vehicles at the speed band).

3 - Mobile lattice Recycled pieces halved and combined with aluminium hanged sliding racks (for easy opening).

Interior skins

Bleachers Spaces of expectation with conical vision on the circuit and the agora event. These bleachers are located in areas most likely to overtake; and therefore, where the thrill of competition will be condensed.

2 - EFTE skin Efte with continuous vertical cutting. This skin is located only in the vertical communication cores, establishing a differentiation that makes them easily recognizable from anywhere in the building.

Events agora Recovery of the old asphalt surface for holding large outdoor events. This space has 360 vision.

Competition and leisure in the same place. “1785m” establishes a new relationship between leisure and events expectation. A model in which all merges to the point where you can not easily distinguish where the space of just competition ends and where the idle and leisure space for pedestrians begins.

EMOTIONS CONDENSER A personal reflection about the project.

* Are we facing a crisis of the traditional spaces with mono-thematic idle offer? Is perhaps 1785m the born of a new typology, not only touristy, but about entertainment in general? Probably it is. We are currently experiencing a time in which spaces with limited idle offers are at risk of extinction. That is mainly because current society is restless and is continuously evolving, demanding new kinds of entertainment an different ways of leisure to match their -increasingly complex- needs. Moreover, as we mentioned earlier, tourism -as part of this society- is no longer an industry of space but one of time. The person seeking leisure in general, looks for the largest number of successful experiences that can accumulate over a determined period of time, and in this respect, traditional spaces like stadiums and sports halls or even the traditional sports competition race-track -among many others- have nothing new to offer. Thus, we are now in the time of change, where such spaces are reinvented to offer a broad portfolio of possible experiences in a small space-time lapse. Spaces such as the Dallas Cowboys Stadium, or plans to reform Santiago Bernabeu and Camp Nou stadiums are now posing a new range of hybrid entertainment, where sports spectacle are just one more of the sports complex attractions. In accordance with this analysis is where project 1785m becomes a reality, turning itself into a new and powerful experience gatherer, capable of offering that hybrid and complex idle offer that works as a point of attraction for both local and global tourism. It manages all this by taking advantage and extracting all the economical, cultural and environmental factors of the environment to reach a sustainable development in the short and long term. 1785m is definitely an Idle and tourist space, with a big offer of events and activities all year long. A space in which people and vehicles, technology and nature, production and consumption all combine in an own personal architectural language, based on coherence, reality and order.
