Las necesidades energéticas de Canarias podrían cubrirse mayoritariamente mediante el uso de energías renovables. This is an idea in that line to Tenerife, que traspone propuestas reales ya en marcha y permite vislumbrar alternativas a la situación actual.

En estos últimos años se ha puesto en marcha la iniciativa denominada Gorona del Viento que va a dotar a la isla del Hierro con autosuficiencia eléctrica. El proyecto consiste en un sistema de producción de energía basado en el almacenamiento elevado de agua mediante su impulsión y bombeo a partir de la potencia generada por un pequeño parque eólico y su posterior turbinado en caída.

Herreña proposal comprises two storage reservoirs, and regulation of water located in different levels which are connected by a dual pressure pipe, in which way are placed turbines which convert the potential energy generated from water stored in the upper. It is a simple system for power which has the advantage of not consuming fossil fuels and, therefore, permite el autoabastecimiento local de ese elemento tan fundamental para el futuro que es la energía.

Scheme hidroéolica plant operation under construction in the island of Hierro

This model can be exported to other islands of the archipelago that have a pronounced topography. In fact, and its implementation is being studied in the islands of Gran Canaria, La Gomera, La Palma and Tenerife, with different variants. The company itself that generates electricity throughout Canary, Unelco-Endesa, has publicly stated its intention and interest to promote in the latter third large center island that would be based on this technology and would stand at the northwest slope, en la zona costera de Icod de Los Vinos.

Endesa demonstrating its determination to continue to maintain its position indefinitely dominant operator that controls the production and supply electricity end a monopoly. Something not good for the collective service as the Canaries continue to pay a high price for an essential and necessary for our survival and international competitiveness. La introducción de una saludable competencia que conduzca a un abaratamiento de los costos a los usuarios finales debería ser por ello un objetivo de todos nuestros responsables políticos y de las instituciones insulares y autonómicas.

In response to this argument, seems more appropriate to promote decentralization of electricity and allow entry into the market of other medium-sized operators and, if possible, public character as the local private initiative does not have the financial capacity to undertake such investments. On the island of Tenerife, specifically for this purpose and, could develop at least a dozen substations hidroeólica production of local character, aprovechando infraestructuras ya existentes.

Idea for ordination and localization of a possible center in the valley hidroeólica Tegueste

The proposal could be regular advances covering a very specific area that is northeast of Tenerife, cores serving Valle de Guerra, Tejina, Low tide, La Punta and, also, the entire municipality of Tegueste. Would offer low-cost electric power to a set of 30.000 personas.

For this, been thought conditioning use and the effect of a set of existing reservoirs along the Water of God ravine. There are three that have some volumetric capacity, The Peanut Vendor pond and ponds Tejina Eduardo and Hippolytus in Tegueste. Have a gap between them than 280 mts. and could be connected by a pipe that runs parallel to the river and whose range would have an approximate length of 3.800 mts.

The system organizes by utilizing the unused surplus water for irrigation. The water used would be collected in the bottom of the Peanut Vendor pond which has a capacity exceeding 70.000 m3 and would be stored for the purpose of electricity, on top Edward Pond advantage you can have a capacity equal to half of the first. You can also set a higher reservation, Pond also incorporating Hipolito whose surface is much higher volume. In this latter, probably have to do dredging to remove dirt accumulated over the years and increase its capacity.

Next to the first dam could place the pump station necessary energy supply which is guaranteed by a wind farm 5 or more turbines that could produce over 10 MW and would be at the crest of the Tejinetilla, Tejina under the table to get the best conditions to produce the effect of the trade winds from the Northeast.

Eduardo impoundments and Hippolytus in the upper historic Tegueste

At the halfway mark of the double pipe connecting the central turbinado would place that would allow electricity production at times when no wind. An ideal place for this could be called Salto del Milagro, which is located next to the College of Gum Tree and has a slope of 40 meters in a short space and travel.

This proposed system would allow significant energy contribution to the region, ensuring electricity at a reasonable cost and, accordingly, cheaper price for locals. His achievement would mean a prime contribution to the elimination of greenhouse gases and import substitution of fossil fuels in the overall calculation of the archipelago.

Se estaría así en línea con una mayor sostenibilidad y compromiso ecológico que debería enorgullecer a los habitantes del municipio de Tegueste y toda la comarca.

Secondary Institute in Haria

Ralf Veyras — Fri, 20 May 2011 12:10:00 +0000

In 2009 CPPA team submitted a proposal for the writing contest draft Secondary School in Haria, municipio de la isla de Lanzarote.

The proposal, despite not being finally chosen, was assessed very positively. A continuación se adjunta una breve descripción de la misma.

APPLIED FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA
- Maximum topographic adaptation of the development and construction
- Disabled access to reach all the spaces provided
- Clear segmentation program modules required to wean FOREIGN AND SITE funcionalesORGANIZACIÓN

General plan covers

La propuesta que se avanzó para el proyecto del nuevo Instituto de Enseñanza Secundaria de Haría se organizaba localizando el nuevo edificio escolar en la nueva parcela reservada al Oeste para la ampliación de los equipamientos escolares mientras que el edificio deportivo y las aulas de Formación Profesional requeridas se situarían en el espacio donde actualmente está el edificio actual.

The whole, incluyendo al Grupo Escolar de Primaria existente se articularía mediante una gran plaza que establecería el acceso a los espacios exteriores del nuevo centro.

The biggest challenge of the project was produced in the resulting narrowing at the junction of the two plots available. There has been predicted functional articulation of all outdoor spaces on the same level, main access, sports fields and playground, constituyéndose en el espacio de interrelación de todos los edificios que compondrían el conjunto.

INTERNAL ORGANIZATION OF BUILDINGS

The building dedicated to educational spaces required by the program, is organized into a series of parallel two-story pavilions, distributed along a central spine which establishes the main communications. North of that space connecting Secondary Classrooms located in the first three pavilions, reservándose el último volumen hacia el Oeste para las Aulas de Bachillerato.

South of the main hall are arranged communications and service auxiliary spaces in as many small pavilions, Laboratory, Library, 4 Seminarios y la Administración junto a la entrada.

The indoor sports building is placed in the southeast end of the two plots available, parallel to the path. It provided a space to host handball courts, basketball and tennis with their changing rooms and support spaces, and a grandstand with capacity for 200 personas.

Plants of the school building

SCHOOL BUILDING

Este edificio se ha dividió en tres ámbitos espaciales claramente diferenciados y en los que los recorridos se organizaron mediante un gran pasillo central que engloba tramos en rampa de pendiente muy ligera.

To the north is located three two-story pavilions perpendicular to the corridor. Two of the twelve containers Secondary multipurpose classrooms and the third workshop and classroom technology plastic and computer downstairs and upstairs music that complement that area teacher. Each pavilion had space to locate a stairwell, los aseos necesarios y un espacio para seminario y pequeño depósito de libros.

A fourth volume of two plants are located west of the plot added and the spaces are organized teaching area Baccalaureate. Basement Ground, workshop and laboratory technology while on the top floor, four multipurpose classrooms and drawing

A series of three pavilions arranged south of the corridor containing the library, four seminars and administrative spaces. The administration is organized near the main entrance of the building and has offices for the Director, Head of Studies and Secretary. It was also envisaged the staff room and offices for the Counselor, APA and Students, with toilets and complementary spaces. Frente al acceso principal se sitúa el control y el área de secretaria.

School Building section

BUILDING SPORTS

The sports building stood at the east end by providing the necessary space for a multipurpose court dedicated to handball, Basketball and volleyball along with support spaces for teams changing rooms and toilets, almacén y despacho.

It lay half buried to accommodate the height difference, which is used to place a grandstand with seating for two hundred people, permitiendo la celebración de partidos con acceso público independiente desde el exterior.

OTHER BUILDINGS

It also raised a specific building parallel to the access road to locate specific Training Workshops, junto a sus aseos y espacios de apoyo.

Finally, the porter with common services machinery, cleaning, counters, etc.. se localizaba en un volumen que encaja en el ángulo existente colindante con el colegio vecino.

South Train Exchangers

Ralf Veyras — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 11:17:00 +0000

In 2010 CPPA presented two proposals for bidding on construction projects Exchangers Train of South Tenerife Tenerife promoted by Metropolitan. This contest came with the need for edificatorias parts designed to accommodate the creation of networks facilitating intermodality between the different transport modes involved (railroad, buses, taxis and private vehicles) en cada una de las paradas establecidas para la nueva infraestructura ferroviaria de Tenerife.

Proposals made by CPPA for this contest were exchangers Candelaria and San Isidro, esta última obteniendo el 2º Accésit.

Proposed solutions consisted only the part definition edificatoria, as other aspects such as improving roads and associated with different modes of transport in the vicinity of each plot were vital. Both exchangers are located next to the island via TF-1 but with different orientations geographic and topographic conditions that led to considerable reflection on the solution to raise. Asimismo se tomo en consideración el encaje del intercambiador con la ordenación propuesta por el planeamiento municipal de cada una de las paradas mencionadas.

General Plant Proposal exchanger San Isidro

It was perhaps the very definition of the building where you went for a similar solution for both proposals given the identical program required, with the obvious difference of the covering solution, buscando una mejor relación con el entorno y paisaje inmediato de cada una de las ubicaciones.

The construction of both buildings solution addresses two fundamental elements: cubierta y módulos de servicios.

Candelaria exchanger constructive Scheme Proposal

The cover appears as the cover member and relationship to their environment (landscape, sky, sea), so light that hovers over the field extending outside the building to give needed shade and adequate protection from the rain. In the proposed solution to stop Candelaria opted for a cover based on two warped surfaces trying to provide the most dynamic building. No obstante para la definición de la parada de San Isidro la cubierta diseñada respondía a líneas curvas para potenciar las vistas hacia el mar con la Montaña Roja de fondo.

On the other hand the service modules are intended to accommodate operators exchanger according to the program required: MTSA, TITSA, Taxis, Car Rental, Operator Commercial and Exchanger. These modules have the support necessary: restroom, changing, cleaning rooms, almacenes y cuartos de instalaciones.

Reform Avenida del Generalissimo

Federico Garcia Barba — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 09:23:00 +0000

Competition for the drafting of the Development of the Avenida del Generalissimo in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, convocado por GESTUR.Issues affecting the Avenida del Generalissimo
The Avenida del Generalissimo is located in the tourism sector in the municipality Martíanez Puerto de la Cruz. This sector has been suffering a residential transformation fueled by the serious difficulties that impede the rehabilitation of buildings, slowly generating economic decline of the area in a process that has not yet been achieved character corregir.El significant urban axis Generalissimo Avenue has meant a significant concentration of vehicle mass, both in transit and parking to finding what ambiental.De generates a significant deterioration according to the strategy defined in the general plan of the municipality, Martíanez has been becoming a pedestrian priority area. This new proposed action may increase this character for the benefit of passersby and regular users by eliminating surface parking and traffic mitigation pedestrian paso.Este up process has been made considering always the possibility of selective access , both for cleaning and maintenance as existing garage access and the user can download the hotels. Planteamiento que debe de contemplarse también para la reordenación de la avenida del Generalísimo.

According to the above, la reforma de este espacio debe de plantear la ampliación en la medida de lo posible del espacio exclusivamente peatonal.

As for the urban landscape there are two conflicting issues Martíanez: la existencia de edificios de gran altura y la presencia del horizonte marítimo en las perspectivas y enfiladas urbanas.

Thus, renewal strategies of public space should consider the incorporation of mechanisms that attenuate the high incidence of the building while accretive to enjoy the presence of the sea. In this sense, una valoración apropiada de los elementos que conformarán el nuevo arbolado será una herramienta fundamental.

Strategy remodeling of urban space

Atendiendo a las reflexiones señaladas en el apartado anterior se ha avanzado una propuesta preliminar de tratamiento de la avenida que sirva de base para explicar cuales pueden ser las estrategias conducentes a una remodelación efectiva de este espacio urbano.

A. Actuaciones sobre el espacio públicoLa sección de calle propuesta se ha establecido definiendo un doble carril excéntrico continuo a lo largo de todo el trazado longitudinal junto con una ampliación generalizada de las superficies peatonales a costa de los espacios ocupados por las plazas de aparcamiento que existen en la actualidad.

The defined section seek to unify the general surface establishing a comprehensive continuum, avoiding jumps and curbs. Su definición se iría adaptando a las peculiaridades de enlace que se presentan en los bordes del espacio público.

Advanced Remodeling organization include temporary parking spaces for the collection of users hotels, loading and unloading commercial goods, paradas de taxis y disposición y recogida de basura.

A second action would be payable on the landscaping. This would be built to the strict conservation of existing palm alignments would be maintained and would be completed replenishing missing copies. Se ha previsto también la generación de nuevos ámbitos arbolados que mejoren las visuales y atenúen la presencia de las grandes masas edificadas.

As a criterion for the paving has been thought in the use of materials and compositions used in remodeling and ride of Columbus have proven reliability. Se considera que la piedra basáltica podría ser un buen elemento constructivo que unificaría la imagen general del área.

Parterre bank triangular. Hito en intersecciones.

Regarding furniture pieces have explored the desirability of mixed elements forming shrub beds and seats. Special facilities would be defined to mitigate the visual impact generated garbage storage. Finalmente se ha estimado la conveniencia de incorporar elementos escultóricos que mejoren la caracterización global del espacio.

B. Actions on private space

Una actuación sobre este espacio quedaría incompleta si no se hace un esfuerzo por remodelar las áreas privadas no edificadas en contacto con la calle.

También tiene una relevancia evidente el problema que supone la ocupación indiscriminada de los retranqueos obligatorios por construcciones temporales que han pasado a ser permanentes con el paso del tiempo.

Un problema similar es el que plantea la publicidad descontrolada que supone una agresión estética incidente sobre la calida visual del espacio urbano en su conjunto.

To address the first question would have to consider the proposition resurfacing actions within the private spaces from public funds. These actions could include resurfacing the definition of appropriate landscape elements that contribute to improve the visual appearance of these spaces

Regarding the occupation of spaces plot with uncontrolled buildings should establish constructive type models which define the elements and qualities to be used in a manner so that binding could proceed to a visual unification mess . La definición de piezas añadidas y su implantación unificada es una técnica que se utiliza para usos y espacios significados como se presenta en los bistrots parisinos.

Something similar should be established in relation to the elements used in the advertising of establishments. It should propose a formal code reunification cartels affecting, banners and signs that could be approved collateral as an ordinance to the effect. Una estrategia similar se usa con éxito en los cascos históricos protegidos como ocurre en el caso de La Laguna.

Concurso de reforma de espacios turísticos convocado por el Cabildo de Tenerife.

This is a public space (located in the town of Adeje) heavily punished by the various interventions that have been happening over the years, gradually losing the character of public open space, siendo ocupado for a indiscriminate aparcamiento of coches a dos filas, construcciones y concesiones en el propio espacio público y en el frente marítimo que poco a poco han ido tapando las vista al mar.

Calle Valencia y espacio Libre colindante (situation actual)

Como strategy of transformation if ha optado for los siguientes criterios:

Recuperación del espacio público para peatones, residentes y turistas, limitando el tránsito rodado.
Redefinición de los espacios of disfrute y carefully, such como Gardens, plazas, zonas de juegos infantiles y mayores.
Creación de recorridos pedestrian of Paseo, y totalmente accesibles a las personas con movilidad reducida.

Plant General propuesta

Nuevo diseño of jardinería y hoisting, that enhances visual perspective to the sea, camouflage and integration of private spaces adjacent, y la creación de espacios de sombra y recreación visual.

Succession of layers used to develop the proposal

Mejora cualitativa del mobiliario urbano y de la iluminación.
Recuperación de las concesiones existentes en el espacio público o concentración en un edificio común para evitar los obstáculos visuales disgregados.

Sections proposals

The woodland is in alignments, following main routes. Along stay zones, is situated on the south side, ensuring the shade for most of the day. Also achieved a filter that partially conceals camouflages and vision between public and private. Se ha buscado la apertura de la perspectiva hacia el mar.
The low vegetation, by species adapted to the climate and low maintenance, irá aportando notas de color y caracterizando los diferentes ambientes.
