Comunicat de premsa The Generalitat announces the winners of the tender for innovative housing construction proposals The jury for the tender for submitting proposals and the construction of multi-apartment blocks through the incorporation of new systems and innovative technologies, organised by the Catalan Land Institute, has decided on the winners who will be responsible for constructing the 4 new subsidised housing developments. Through this tender, the Generalitat aims to give a boost to innovative technologies that will improve building quality in the construction of homes. The jury, formed by representatives from the Department of the Environment and Housing, the Catalan Land Institute, the General Directorate of Architecture and Landscaping and the ITEC, has selected the most innovative projects for the construction of 4 new subsidised housing developments. The winners will be entrusted with drawing up the project for building the housing developments for which they have submitted their proposals. These developments are located in the towns of Callús, El Masnou, Mollet del Vallès and Sant Vicenç dels Horts. There were no winners for the development planned in Torelló. The projects submitted had to draft and include proposals for new technological systems to form unitary solutions, both in full or in part, with a good cost/benefit ratio, safety in construction, energy savings, speed with regard to assembly, or other elements representing innovation in construction systems, with a view to providing improvements in the quality, comfort and durability of the homes. Callús – 27 homes for rent for young people in Passeig Anselm Clavé Awarded to – Washington Internacional, SA Architects – Arau-Mediavilla SCP Considerable value was given to applying a semi-industrialised construction system that can be adapted to different types, based on a rational proposal from the architectural standpoint, and which is coherent from the construction perspective. The project is based on a building constructed using a dry system, based on self-bearing panels of galvanised steel sections to act as the framework and as the enclosing structures, to minimise construction processes in works, with the aim of reducing the execution term and costs thereof.

Value was also placed on the attractive composition of the façades, their volume and suitability of the building for the topographic features of the terrain on which the building was to be constructed. Likewise it was considered that the types of housing were well resolved, to obtain maximum advantage from the small surface area of each one.

The projections of the ground floor plus two floors and the ground floor plus three floors respond to this adaptation. The high-precision Barcons modular construction system that acts as a selfbearing element adds great economic improvement and reduces the execution term, and solid waste, while increasing the precision of the finish and the thermal and acoustic insulation.

In addition, the lay-out of the building parallel to the street reduces excavation work and earth-moving. From the functional standpoint, the proposal is that of a compact building with a single communications core, thereby enabling all the apartments to have the best conditions of sunlight and ventilation. Servei de Premsa Institut Català del Sòl 93 228 60 89 Pàg. 4 de 6 Comunicat de premsa Objectives of the innovation tender The Department of the Environment and Housing, which is responsible for the housing policy in Catalonia and for the quality of housing construction, considers it necessary to boost technological innovation and the implantation of new construction systems in the construction sector in general, and especially in the construction of housing. The idea is to move ahead in this field in the same way as the progress made in other sectors of economic activity in developing industrialisation and incorporate technological improvements into fabrication processes. Being aware that Public Administrations must play an important role in promoting and fostering technological innovation in improving the quality of housing, that will offer the possibility of the industrialised construction of buildings, while at the same time enable the terms for constructing these homes to be optimised, as is being done in other countries in Europe, the Department of the Environment and Housing and Incasòl, the main public housing developer in Catalonia, have promoted this particular tender with the following aims: • To offer the possibility of constructing public housing to companies operating in this sector, which have worked on and elaborated industrialised constructive systems or models. • To promote the joint effort of planners and constructors with a view to optimising construction processes and the execution terms thereof. • To guarantee, through the incorporation of industrialised systems, a quality standard, facilities and energy efficiency in all homes constructed. • To ensure the possibility of repeating innovative construction systems, if considered appropriate.
