Drafting of technical requirements for the executive project for onsite earth walls, with earth reuse. We defined the construction details, technical characteristics of materials and equipment, formwork system, quality control program and budget.
The project P.A.R.C presented by INLANDSIS with Adria Escolano and David Steegmann won the competition del Parc del Nord de Sabadell has been selected for 1st prize among 33 proposals. The proposed design aims to recover the ancient Torrent del Capellà, today occupied by residual anthropic constructions, as the natural corridor for water and biodiversity in the north of Sabadell. The regenerated landscape, is grounded in a topographic reconfiguration whereby depressions are designed for water retention and are outlined by a woodland landscape. This sunken area frames the park’s central path and creates the core space for recreation and activities. Raised areas at the interface with the urban realm include Mediterranean woodland planting which borders the entrances to the neighborhoods in proximity to the park. At the intersections between the central promenade and the perpendicular connecting paths, agenesis of minimal architectures will assemble the park’s activities. These evolving structures are designed to be able to grow and incorporate technological advances according to park users demands now and into the future.

SOCIAL HOUSING 38 APARTMENTS IN PALMA DE MALLORCA.
VIVAS ARCHITECTS
Promoter: IBAVI
The jury considers that the two sites are resolved with a high level of quality.
The structural system and the facade of the building are made with prefabricated earth blocks, Tapialblock from Fetdeterra. As a result, the IBAVI ideas competition becomes the trigger to introduce a technological innovation with low environmental impact in the Balearic industry, since the team is committed to manufacturing the product on the island.
In both projects the distribution is orderly and the ability to resolve the corner naturally has been assessed, without causing distortions either to the floor or to the facades. The chamfer goes unnoticed and the distribution produces a very clean piece, with ordered elevations and with a single-window module that facilitates and speeds up the execution.
The houses have living rooms-kitchen-dining rooms with two galleries, one in each orientation, which guarantee passive air renewal in winter

All structural walls and interior divisions are made with TAPIALBLOCK ® 10/20/10 precast blocks. The building breaks down into three aggregate units of three to four homes per landing. All types have double orientation and the interior patios are covered by a solar atrium.
Structure: The structure is made with the Tapialblock® System 10/20/10, joined with the Fetdeterra base lime mortar
The thickness of the structural walls is 20 cm placed according to the Flemish rigging. The locking walls are 20 cm in case of separation between dwellings, thus guaranteeing, through their mass, the requirements of CTE_HR, and 10 cm in case of separation of interior spaces within the same dwelling, both made with Tapialblock ®.
Facades: The exterior facades are formed by the bearing walls of the Tapialblock ® System, viewed from the inside and covered with exterior insulation for the facade with natural cork and natural lime mortar finish
Reduced heating demand: Heat collection is increased by direct solar radiation from the collector galleries. The air renewal system will be through the collector atriums that use the air preheated by the greenhouse effect, increasing the internal temperature by convection. Both the external insulation and the inertia of the load-bearing walls made with the TAPIALBLOCK ® system allow, by conduction, to conserve the comfort temperature.
Reduced demand for refrigeration: The houses have cross ventilation in the direction of the prevailing winds and a constant airflow generated by the solar chimney of the patios. Inertia allows cooling the earth’s walls at night. The use of materials with good hygrothermal behavior, such as compacted earth, helps to regulate the humidity in the home, improving the thermal sensation.
Energy impact of materials: Materials with low incorporated energy are used, which can be reduced, recycled and reused in order to increase the closing of cycles of the materials. They are materials, like earth, that contribute to maximum hygrothermal comfort. Global CO emissions are reduced by 58%.

Bill Viola. Ocean Without a Shore
This piece from the internationally renowned pioneer in video art lands in Spain for the first time and has been installed defitively in PLANTA, making it the first permanent installation of this innovative project from Sorigué
The work is installed inside a completely renovated building. The interior space that houses the installation has been built with materials from the Sorigué gravel pit, with an innovative System based on the circular economy.
The artist said “Ocean Without a Shore deals with the presence of the dead in our lives. In a dark room, the three altars on which the screens are placed become portals for the passage of dead to and from our world”
To recreate the work, a specific room has been built to accommodate it. This structure is the result of research project developed between Sorigué and the FETDETERRA architecture study, under criteria of sustainability, innovation and circular economy.

Project: Bill Viola Hall
Promoter: Sorigué Foundation
Study and development of an earth construction system.
We understand the project as something unique and extraordinary, with specific objectives to be reached:
SUSTAINABILITY
Earth as a building material: A natural, ecological resource that is both elegant and unique. Earth helps to create a healthy and comfortable indoor environment in which the material’s presence can always be felt.
It allows for air to filter and purify.
It has high thermal inertia, which minimizes the building’s energy cost.
It regulates indoor humidity.
It absorbs electromagnetic waves.
It provides excellent acoustic insulation.
It has resounding aesthetics
Earth is a material of proximity that does not generate waste or toxic byproducts. It reduces long-term emissions of CO2 and is recyclable in its entirety, guaranteeing a building that is sustainable for the environment and a type of architecture born out of –and rooted in– the local territory itself, fully integrated into the existing landscape.
ECO-INNOVATION
A project tied to an idea of the company’s progress and constant improvement, contributing to the process of adapting to a changing world, increasing competitiveness and generating new and successful solutions that add value.
Innovating with earth allows us to strengthen the project’s desired capabilities; to “surprise and excite” with a material that is harmonious with its environment, placing value on the hidden virtues of the landscape or context.
To innovate with earth is to once again value an age-old technique with modern-day means.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Circularity in materials: Use of natural materials that are recyclable and that do not generate waste. Possibility of recycling and recovering waste and foreign substances, such as sludge from aggregate washing processes and construction and demolition waste (CDW) brought about through the company’s business activities.
Circularity of means: adaptation, optimization, and capitalization of the company’s own means from the research and material preparation stages to the construction of the building itself.
Circularity in terms of technology: the project brings about a technological legacy for the company that can be reused in other projects, generating new lines of business.
by
Project: Bill Viola Hall
Promoter: Sorigué Foundation
The aim of the research project is to use earth and, in particular, the sludge from aggregate washing at the local quarry, for the construction of the Bill Viola Exhibition Hall at the Sorigué Foundation.
By reusing the sludge, we get to do something with a material that is normally considered to be quarry waste – giving it a new use and minimizing the economic costs for the purchase of materials, transport, as well as the costs related with waste management. This all brings about significant financial and environmental benefits.
Likewise, the re-use of earth for the construction of walls guarantees full integration of the landscape, as the materials are extracted from the site itself.
A preliminary study of the area to be excavated is performed in which samples are taken for laboratory testing. The tests are basically aimed at profiling the material. They are interpreted and their results are evaluated in order to apply the necessary corrective measures – along with the evaluation of proposed solutions.

Architect: Maite Sainz de la Maza Benet. Fetdeterra
Engineering geologist: Macari de Torres. Fetdeterra
Date and location: December 2016. Mollerussa
The construction is located in a rustic land that has not been developed, where the volume of the building is respected, consolidated and rehabilitated. It is thermally improved by adding insulation on the roof, and the enclosure walls are cleaned, replacing the portland cement mortar with a lime mortar and silicate paints, compatible with the earth walls. A new access to the upper floor is made through a ladder of folded sheet metal floating and anchored to the wall.

Project: EarthBox
Developer: Suelo Vivo
Architect: Maite Sainz de la Maza Benet. Fetdeterra
Engineering geologist: Macari de Torres. Fetdeterra
EarthBox is a concept of sustainable minimum, healthy and affordable construction that adapts to different uses: housing, work and leisure. A simple module offers 27 m2 of living space and 35 m2 of built space.
For the construction of the EarthBox, only two earth and wood materials are used. Using earth provides positive qualities to the indoor environment, regulating humidity and temperature, as well as being a material that transpires, isolates electromagnetic waves and unwanted external noises.
We study the lifespan of the materials that we are going to use, from their extraction to reuse or recycling. The earth incorporates recycled aggregates from previous constructions. Untreated pine wood strips of 450 x 20 x 5 cm are used for the formwork of the earth walls. They are reused within the work itself, for the floor, pavement, carpentry and furniture.

Earth study and correction for re-use of earth on the jobsite itself.
The aim of the research project is to close the material life cycle, in this case we are talking about the life cycle of the earth that is generated through the jobsite’s excavation so that it may be reused for the construction of walls, thus taking maximum advantage of the process and minimizing environmental impact.
By reusing the earth, we get to do something with a surplus from the jobsite itself that is normally considered waste – giving it a new use and minimizing the economic costs for the purchase of materials, transport, as well as the costs related with waste treatment plant fees. This all brings about significant financial and environmental benefits.
Likewise, the re-use of the earth for the construction of walls guarantees full integration of the landscape into the project, as the materials are extracted from the site itself.

Developer: Dolors Tehas Capell
Architect: Maite Sainz de la Maza Benet. Fetdeterra
Engineering geologist: Macari de Torres. Fetdeterra
Date and location: Under construction. Torregrossa
The construction to be restored is comprised of the union of two buildings clearly delimited and separated by rammed earth walls, with thicknesses of 60/70 cm and 10 meters of height at the highest point. For the restoration work, we carried out an analysis of the constructive and structural system, together with the pathologies presented by the building, identifying the causes to rectify or eliminate them. We could verify how the deterioration of the earth walls was only a superficial pathology, which we rehabilitated and restored conserving all the properties of the earth, using compatible materials and guaranteeing the uniformity of the material in the whole wall. We used Tapialblock SC in the areas where there had been a considerable loss of material and we lined the walls with lime base mortar.

VALUES OF PATRIMONIAL ARCHITECTURE
Before establishing the restoration criteria that will guide the intervention, we must bear in mind that there is a series of general values typical of historical monument architecture, such as historical, cultural, artistic, landscape or traditional values, among others, that must be respected and maintained.
It is an architecture linked to the landscape, the result of the resources and materials that they had in their territory, and conditioned by the climatic environment. These specific values are what convert the existing building into a sustainable construction that is environmentally friendly.
GENERAL INTERVENTION CRITERIA
The goal of the restoration is to respect, preserve and highlight the building’s own values. The basic criteria that we will follow in the project are as follows:
CONSERVING AUTHENTICITY AND SYMBIOSIS WITH THE LANDSCAPE
We consider the building as a historical document that we must preserve, define and preserve its authenticity, which we can find in the materials, in the construction system and in the space.
MINIMUM INTERVENTION
The minimum intervention to guarantee conserving the building, without the need to execute any work that is not strictly necessary.
REVERSIBILITY
The possibility of reversibility of the added intervention must be taken into account, as long as it does not destabilize the structure and consolidation of the building.
COMPATIBILITY
We must ensure the compatibility of our intervention with the old building, from the structural and material point of view, so that no further pathologies occur on the existing construction.
INTERVENTION
The creation of an access to the tower taking advantage of the topography of the environment and minimizing the visual impact of the intervention.
Consolidation of the structure of the wall and conditioning of the access area with archaeological remains.
Restoration of the wrought iron and roof, after the study and verification of documentation and existing remains.

Earthenware bottle for organic wine.
The purpose of the research project is to:
Promote the product’s image.
Find harmony between the container and its content. Convey a strong message about the product, so that the consumer clearly and concisely perceives the values and the essence that the product and the brand wish to transmit.
Sell a sensory experience.
We use the five senses to enjoy unique moments; not only is the content important but also the container. Transmit love towards all those small things that make us feel good, the sense of returning to what’s authentic, handmade, artisanal, the sense of touch… all this awakens that ancestral instinct that we have etched, deep down, in our DNA. Everyday objects with simple shapes and textures and sober, natural colors – designed for utility and everyday use. Objects that we pick up with our own hands and experience those unique feelings that are so hard to explain with words.
Sustainable eco-design.
A current, refreshing design with simple and clear lines, yet at the same time a design that is elegant and attractive for customers / consumers, aligned with the criteria of sustainability from its creation in the conceptual stage to the product’s re-use – aiming to minimize the environmental impact by generating local social and economic benefits.
Promote the image of the eco-innovative company.
Develop and promote the proposed values –something which is conducive to the company’s differentiation from the competition– while likewise facilitating access to new, more demanding markets.
