On solid earth: Around the Alcazaba of Guadix, Granada

Abstract

This proposal won the first prize in the fourth edition of the Richard H. Driehaus Architecture Competition. This intervention site is located in the historic city centre of Guadix, near the Alcazaba (the old citadel). It consisted of a series of actions designed to enhance and revitalise this urban space, which is in the process of being recovered and reincorporated into the cultural and civic life of Guadix. The primary goal of the proposal was to preserve and recover the historic city’s urban, architectural, historic, scenic and civic heritage.
