Constructing with ruins. José Ignacio Linazasoro: buildings for marginalised places in Madrid
Spain’s large cities have long suffered from decay and crime in the central areas, and the impoverishment and depopulation of smaller towns located in the crown. Madrid is such an example. The Lavapiés neighbourhood was a site of rampant unauthorised building practices. Formerly a shelter for sub-Saharan migrants, it is now among the best known to the tourist masses, which, however, mask its delinquency and social deterioration. Instead, the rural hamlet of Valdemaqueda has shrunk to its current number of six hundred inhabitants. Its economy is limited to religious pilgrimages, thus risking the disappearance of the local community. José Ignacio Linazasoro (1947), a Spanish architect living and working in Madrid and winner of the International Brick Award and of the Piranesi Prix de Rome, took on the task of ‘healing’ the Lavapiés neighbourhood and the Valdemaqueda hamlet through the integrated construction of two ruins with strong civic value.
