2012 _KAIKU ROWING CLUB in Sestao_ Bilbao
The action focuses on a point strategic, trying to revive the area that will become a new kernel that will be the link, without competing with the city, where the metro and tram lines converge and where also joined the left margin and right, you always divided social and demographically.
The historical evolution of Sestao in the era of industrialization was a big change in population growth and therefore of building density, but the platform of the industry has not always been so, as over time the river has changed from being a few marshes to a beach up to the industry changes to the edge have been constant, therefore the draft it arises again a remodeling win back land to the sea but to give it to Sestao, which, with the industrial platform does not have a "front" facing to the waterfront.
The rowing club is located at the end of the old dam, surrounded by water the two main elevations are useful for the sport of rowing, one for professionals, and the other for the proposed recreational rowing club. Enhancing the public tour opening up the possibility of creating a street where cars pedestrian and bike access. The building creates public spaces to be, enjoy the views, part of the output of the estuary to the sea next to the bridge in Portugalete.
Urban intervention is regenerating the environment of the estuary near Sestao and turns it into an active place, with different possibilities and activities. This recovers the beach that one day there were, but giving them a character of pool flooded, in such a way that tides in the height of the River are up to 6 meters and the wave is non-existent, makes this environment for a few swimming pools perfect, also with tidal pools creates a changing landscape throughout the day.
The hangars traverse the entire plant, on display, are divided into three major disciplines. Independent, each has its own the river output, each has radiuses and dimensions to the dimensions of the boats, but at the same time communicated by a central route, the pedestrian street in the building.
The longitudinal shape of the plant makes transversal spaces to look at both sides of the estuary, thanks to the wide and double spaces heights creates transparency in section, the succession of porticos gives a rhythm section and different dimensions occurring in ground floor makes that these spaces are not homogeneous in all the way, but that space dilate.
The project structure can be divided into primary and secondary, on the one hand would be the interior space of the building, with the achievement of wooden porches and elements where they are supported, either dwarves or pillars of concrete, depending on the point of the porch is on the first floor or ground floor (dwarf) (pillar of concrete) in such a way that the succession of portals generate spacious for interior tours and the different hangars. The secondary structure would be the internal structure, its sole function is to sustain the intermediate floor, the first floor of solid concrete slab.
