Pumarejo - Experimental MicroCity


PUMAREJO
- Experimental MicroCity -

The Pumarejo House represents one of the last neighbours’ courtyard of the Historic Quarter of Seville. Over time, its use has varied from palace, to jail, or to community housing. Currently, it faces the dangers of gentrification  as well as all the surrounding areas.

El Palacio del Pumarejo representa uno de los últimos corrales de vecinos del Casco Histórico de Sevilla. A lo largo del tiempo, su uso ha ido variando desde palacio, a cárcel o a vivienda comunitaria. Actualmente, se enfrenta a los peligros de la gentrificación.



One of its main characteristics is to be able to contain a neighborhood with almost all its services within it: Pumarejo, a micro-city. To support this idea, we work with the mat-building concept, rather than creating architecture, we create a system, a chip. New ways of dwelling with new types of houses adapted to the old and new inhabitants.

Una de sus principales características es la de ser capaz de contener un barrio con casi todos sus servicios dentro del mismo: Pumarejo, un edificio-ciudad. Para esta idea, nos apoyamos en el concepto de mat-building, creamos un sistema, un chip. Adaptándonos a las nuevas formas de habitar con nuevas tipologías de viviendas para los antiguos y los nuevos habitantes.


The roof becomes a space for production and sustainability where neighbors can create a self-sufficient community.

La cubierta se convierte en un espacio para la producción y la sostenibilidad donde crear una comunidad autosuficiente.
