Abstract

For the authors, the greater part of social housing in Spain has danced to political and economic piping and
this has led to same again suburban projects answering to an often very mean urban planning conditioning.
The five projects here offered for consideration (70 VPO. In Mina del Moro, 45 VPO in Txurdinaga, 55 VPO
in Old Bilbao, 18 VPO in Coslada and 243 VPO in Sevile) are felt to be examples of constructive urban
thinking a mould breakers. Their setting up of public or semi-public spaces in the city, their use of novel
materials for building housing and refusal to conform to the usual types of this together are felt to have
forged a long needed weapon with which to face down the dead weight of the usual while answering to the
limits of each of the specific needs in question.
