Intervenciòn en barriadas residenciales obsoletas – Manual de buenas practicas

This Handbook of Good Practices is the result of the International Research conducted by the Esquela Tecnica Superior de Sevilla, the Fundaciòn de Investigaciòn de la Universidad de Sevilla with the University of Granada and Politecnico di Milano. In particular it estates falls into the framework of one of the research lines of the Groups Ciudad, Arquitectura y Patrimonio Contemporàneos (HUM666), Arquitectura, Patrimonio y Sostenibilidad (TEP-130) and Vivienda Eficiente y Reciclaje Urbano (BIORNM-909). The MANUAL focuses “on urban obsolescence as one of the factors of contemporaneity, due to the unusual speed that characterizes the economic and technological changes produced during late-capitalism”, as says C. G. Vazquez, Coordinator of the research. It is oriented to give categories, methodologies and ‘actions’ to use in the interventions on obsolete housing. The contribution by Politecnico (Equipo Redactor / Team Editors: Guya Bertelli, Coordinator, Doaa Salaheldin, PHD arquitect and Amanda Padilla, Arcquitect), coincides in an editorial and scientific support at the development of the volume, that was translated both in Spanish and English language.
