ABSTRACT
The project is located in Puente Vallecas, a peripheral area in Madrid, with a high level of social conflicts. A development plan aims to improve the neighbourhood, demolishing houses declared in ruins, where people still live, and building new social housing, thinking of a system to provide economical energy. For this purpose, a waste central is built, associated to a central District Heating. This plant is the basement of our great plaza, which is pierced by the smoke evacuation chimneys. The project described in this paper gives technical and architectural solution to this conflict, resulting in the generation of a very interesting public space.
