Architectonic solutions for uni-family housing in rural medium Spain

Abstract

On the first of October, 1981 the Directorate General of Architecture and Housing convoked bids for draft projects of architectonic solutions for uni-family, official protection housing in rural medium, which met with a mass participation of over one thousand Spanish architects, who presented a total of 772 solutions. Following a prior provincial selection, a National Jury consisting of well-known professionals, selected 178 works which were implemented at basic project level and then set out in a well compiled publication. Aware of the importance and significance of this competition, and with a view to participating in its promotion, a series of projects have been selected for publishing in «Informes de la Construcción». No valuation criterion has intervened in this selection, as it was already made by the National Jury, but it aims at representing almost all the different Spanish environments and social-economic regions.
