3 photo: Fernando Alda photo: Fernando Alda Casa Castillo Calle de María Ortiz Seville Located in Barrio León, in a humble series of blocks of single-family semi-detached houses, the site was first completely cleared in order to make way for a residential project that is closely interwoven with modern-day concerns To solve the problem of privacy in low-rise semi-detached houses, the façade of Casa Castillo is a neutral, grey and secretive plane that can nonetheless surprise with its occasional openings The ground level develops gradually and smoothly Small variations in level articulate the different spaces without destroying the overall sense of unity Refusing from day one to adhere to the oppressive parameters of municipal building regulations, the architects exceeded minimums wherever possible in order to provide the house with its own external area - an extension of all the internal spaces which unexpectedly multiplies the size of the house Conceived with the extreme heat of the Andalusian summer, the flat roof is equipped with a small swimming pool photo: Fernando Alda Project is not public! 2005 Main designer, Ubaldo García Torrente Marisol García Torrente Private arquitextonica 3

8 Finnish Pavilion Expo '92 Calle de Marie Curie Seville This pavilion was designed by MONARK, a group of 5 young architects who had studied together at the Helsinki University of Technology, and were all under the age of twenty-five at the stage of initial design The design of the pavilion was based on a place in central Finland where the rock is split into two parts, known as the "Shaft of Hell" The pavilion is split into two contrasting buildings, "Keel" and "Machine" The shaft is represented by the space between the two buildings, which measures fifteen meters high, thirty-five meters long and only two meters wide The first building is made of Finnish pine and its construction is similar to the traditional way of building wooden ships, hence its name, "Keel" The other building, "Machine", is made entirely of steel It is designed to be efficiently built and disassembled Although the buildings are uniquely individual, it is the dramatic contrast which creates a tension between organic and industrial form Project is not public! 1992 MONARK Finland stef_mimoa 8
