Sustainable redensification, symbiosis, urban regeneration, energy efficiency, retrofitAbstract
Based on the concept of «sustainable redensification» we propose the colonization or refurbishment of available spaces on the roof, lower floors or between walls of existing buildings, for demanded uses in each city district, and the retrofit of its facades, generating a new urban unit that gives birth to a symbiotic organism benefitting all parties involved. This increase of density and its exploitation will allow financing the energy and accessibility improvement of the occupied building that shares its land. This project is part of the development of the prototype by the Plateau Team, formed by Alcala University and Castilla-La Mancha University, selected team for the «Solar Decathlon 2014» competition. This innovative urban re-generation proposal includes urban, social, technical and economic analysis, searches for new places of business opportuni-ties, and creates a symbiosis between the new and the old to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings.
