ThemePrimarily, cohesion is to be brought to areas offragmented urban expansion. It is important that
these areas offer a residential diversity that canintroduce and/or reinforce this urban cohesion. This
new growth must be part of a sustainable process,
from an environmental point of view.

ConurbationThe 17th century "royal schemes" and the 18th century
improvements served to consolidate the port of Luarca. Thecanalisation of the waterway at the and of the 19th century
improved the urban sanitation. Development of the two main
roads, the construction of another, along with a bridge,favoured the town's social and economic expansion.
In the 1940s and 1950s, the building of a railway station
(including viaduct), cut off part of the town and stopped its
natural growth. The 1960s and 1970s saw unbridled urbanredevelopment. Finally, the most recent decades have been
shaped by an "urban plan" that has produced large, isolatedurban networks on sites disconnected from the town. Examples
of these are La Capitana in Raicedo; Villar, with its
concentrations of amenities; and the fragmented residentialdistrict of Almua.
SiteThe study zone is in the fertile valley
of Rio Negro. It is completely devoidof any linking infrastructures with the
existing town to the north. Ninety
units of social housing aresurrounded by family houses, a
sports ground, a children'splayground, disused workshops, and
agricultural land. To the north, south,
and west, is marshland and the
overflow outlets of the Raicedo, all ofwhich has environmental interest. Atsome distance is the Campo de San
Timoteo, a vast stretch of grassland.

ProgrammeThe aim is to redevelop the whole zone, takinginto account the difficulties brought about by its
lack of infrastructures. It is therefore essential tocreate a liaison between the 90 homes in the
Capitana neighbourhood and the town, as well
as building a structure that makes it possible tocreate new social and private housing; (project to
be elaborated on the occasion of thecompetition).
Issuesfunctional :The proposal must provide a coherent urban system able tobring harmony to the site and connect it to the town's existing fabric.
social :The proposal must be for housing with the capacity to enhance thetown's development.
perceptual :The proposal must include sustainable constructions and urbandevelopment that use the environmental elements to their best advantage.
