102 Dwellings in Carabanchel Madrid, Spain Client EMVS (Empresa Municipal de la Vivienda y Suelo de Madrid) Project Team Ignacio Borrego, Néstor Montenegro and Lina Toro (Dosmasuno Arquitectos) Structural Engineer José Luis de Míguel Consulting Engineers GRUPO JG Main Contractor BEGAR This project has been built using industrialized technology similar to that used in automobile production. It introduces an important innovation into the construction process by fabricating the formwork from aluminium. This makes the individual formwork parts much lighter and enables workers to safely manipulate them without additional cranes. This Project for 102 apartments in Carabanchel consists of 52 onebedroom dwellings, 35 two-bedroom dwellings and 15 three-bedroom dwellings. Each apartment is based on a single concrete cast unit. Using the precision aluminium formwork over and over again, the common one-bedroom type of apartment can be constructed very rapidly. The unit is cast to include all the facades, the dividing walls, partitions and even wardrobes. It also incorporates thermal insulation and all the services. The one-bedroom unit can be extended with the addition of light steel cantilevered bedroom parts to make the two- and three-bed apartments. The building uses two types of walls throughout; external walls that are 240 mm (9 1/2 inches thick made up of 100 mm (4 inches) of concrete either side of an insulation core, and 100 mm (4 inch) solid internal walls. All of these walls are structural. The building is constructed sequentially from the first unit to the last, each unit built off the previous. The system allows for the construction of a single unit in one day.
