Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   A las afueras de Madrid, en la última parcela de una urbanización situada en una ladera junto a un encinar protegido del cauce del río Guadarrama, se ensaya una casa compacta, un prisma ortogonal de planta rectangular de 12x 8 metros, nacido como pro

Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   Con el fin de rematar el eje que articula el nuevo ensanche de Salburúa y dialogar con el gran humedal a sus pies, se propone la construcción de cuatro torres bioclimáticas cuyo diseño aproveche al máximo la energía solar. Para ello se proveen de mur

Ábalos & Herreros   United States   Situado en el dinámico barrio de Design District, el edificio, envuelto en una combinación de celosías de aluminio, desdobla su programa para responder a dos escalas diferentes: por un lado, el cuerpo horizontal iluminado cenitalmente cierra el eje p

Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   En el último recodo de la ciudad, allí donde ésta arrojaba los servicios e instalaciones más contaminantes, se ha pretendido crear uno de los espacios públicos naturales más amplios de Barcelona, instalando al tiempo servicios de suministro energétic

Ábalos & Herreros Ángel Jaramillo   Spain   From the diagonal promenade that crosses the park of Olof Palme and amongst the tree tops, rises the new library of Usera. The project (winner in a restricted competition held in 1995) took on the image of a tower, the classical form identified with

Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   En el último recodo de la ciudad, allí donde ésta había arrojado sus instalaciones más contaminantes, va a surgir un ecoparque, compatible con nuevos servicios de recogida y tratamiento de residuos, y una planta de reciclaje. Frente a la dureza del l

Ábalos & Herreros Ángel Jaramillo   Spain   Madrid has  a rugged topography and the southeast section of the municipal territory is one of its lowest points. This is perhaps why the area has traditionally been chosen as a dumping site for metropolitan wastes. Within the plan to rationalize the

Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   The most successful features of this precise prism result from the ability of the project to adapt to a standard model and tight budget. Hence, one single band of locker and rest rooms is added to the rectangular sports court, and converted in the ba

Ábalos & Herreros   Spain   Built for he painter Gordillo s exclusively residential use, this house in the Madrid area follows the basic concept of an elemental box, using conventional layout and composition schemes, while it was the program’s dialogue with the landscape and to

Andrés Jaque   Iñaki Ábalos belongs to a small set of Spanish architects who pursue an intellectual project where design takes on a critical dimension. His practice cannot be separated from his theoretical contributions to typological analysis and eco-technological

Iñaki Ábalos   At last we can enjoy a book by one of the most active Madrid architects of the generation born in the 1970s. We welcome what could be a renewed interest in architectural essays, and the optimism triggered by the book’s coinciding with the consolidati

Iñaki Ábalos   Harquitectes is a collective that represents well a way of doing in today’s context. A small collective with a clear focus on an issue at once broad and narrow, and that we could sum up in two words: matter and air. Their work includes an interesting

In the presence of the king and queen of Spain and the feel of being at the threshold of turbulent times, the fourth congress organized by the Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad in collaboration with Arquitectura Viva brought a cast of leading archite

‘Change of Climate’ is the motto of the fourth international congress organized by the Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad for 29 and 30 June, in Pamplona. The previous congresses focused on austerity, solidarity, and the necessary as tools with which

David Cohn   In the new, thermodynamically-tuned practice of Iñaki Ábalos and Renata Sentkiewicz, the aloof, prismatic volumes of the Ábalos + Herreros era, heirs of Alejandro de la Sota in their technical directness and formal austerity, have evolved into buildi

Eduardo Prieto   Iñaki Ábalos and Renata Sentkiewicz like to make clear that their work together did not begin in 2006 – when Ábalos & Herreros split –, but during Sentkiewicz’s previous phase at the studio. It is thus easy for them to acknowledge how much they owe t

Iñaki Ábalos   Sometimes they ask us how the concept of thermodynamics is brought into our design process and why we are so reluctant to show the operational ‘kitchen’ of these processes, probably because the sustainable cliché seems to ask for diagrams with arrows

Iñaki Ábalos   To rethink materiality through thermodynamics it is essential to concentrate on the so-called ‘architectural interiors.’ In the convective air conditioning model, the interior meant the arrival of a huge and trivial collection of ‘products,’ commerci

Iñaki Ábalos   The expression ‘experience of art’ clearly refers to contemplation occurring under certain circumstances of ‘disposition’ before the object. This disposition can be the result of an individual initiative (going to the Prado Museum to contemplate Van

Luis Fernández-Galiano   Iñaki Ábalos graduated in 1978 from the Madrid School of Architecture (ETSAM), which in those years harbored two different traditions represented by two influential faculty members, Alejandro de la Sota and Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza. Sota’s disc
