Abstract


This article describes two blocks which have been built as housing communities, where there is a concentration of facilities and services, as well as the possibility of the flexible distribution of space, according to the needs of each family. The «Plaza de América» building is in one of the most interesting parts, with some of the best views of the city. It has a curved facade with continual openings, which favours the above-mentioned flexibility. The «Ciudadela» building is in the old Ciudadela sector, overlooking the Paseo de la Alameda and the Turia River. It consists of basement, ground floor and mezzanine floor for commercial purposes, and thirteen storeys for housing, it is a metal structure, built on piles, with D.C. flooring and concrete screens for bracing against the wind.
