Free-spirited and grounded, the architectural oeuvre of S-MAO, based in Madrid, Spain The firm is led by co-founders and principal architects Juan Carlos Sancho and Sol Madridejos who “fold” concrete to build singular geometric voids come together in a built chorus STIR speaks with the Spanish architects who elaborate on their practice of almost four decades highlighting their inspirations as well as their process of creating buildings as single units where structure Jincy Iype: Something I read about you – “S-MAO is a nuanced and committed practice rooted in investigations in plastic arts and aesthetic theory” Sol Madridejos: We focus often on using in architecture certain themes that derive from other artistic fields and from diverse times in history and culture understanding them with means that are specific to our architectural practice Architecture has unhurried and complex processes Sometimes certain concepts appear faster and more directly in other fields of art or thought which in turn offer an almost limitless investigation we have taken it upon ourselves to transfer these concepts to the architectural field Jincy: Tell us how Sancho-Madridejos Architecture Office came to be and describe your architectural journey over the years What are some learnings garnered along the way along with our theoretic reflections and analysis reading and investigations have transformed the context in which our career has developed Jincy: What would you cite as inspirations for your architectural practice Juan Carlos: More than a direct inspiration our architecture is part of a process developed from an overlay of variables that intertwine coming from different backgrounds and have an impact on our architectural look These variables can be classified into three facets: history This approach does not reflect in specific styles or forms as ideas are transferable from one discipline to another or from a historical time to another we had the opportunity to meet Spanish sculptor Eduardo Chillida in San Sebastian and to have several conversations with him about thoughts and ideas that were of interest to him and that opened new paths for us These conversations made us regard concepts such as folds or voids from a new perspective through art and history to elaborate and transfer them into architecture Sol: Also, Juan’s investigation for his thesis about the cubist sense of Le Corbusier brought us closer to the artistic and architectural procedures of the acclaimed architect Some of his ideas and postulates have contributed to our way of understanding and proposing architecture travelling and having the experience of visiting the works of architecture built throughout history has been a non-stop learning process and a means of connecting with the thoughts of architects and creators that have practised before us Jincy: These buildings can be interpreted by a viewer as “built origami” – what do you have to say about that Juan Carlos: That’s an interesting way of putting it Jincy Our works try to create a series of tensions in a plane with the intention of creating space which may be perceived aesthetically as “built origami” a single action that keeps the unit intact The result and final shape depend entirely on the transformations that occur; in the case of a plane that is the transformation of a flat element A transformation that is still a single unit in itself the Chapel in Valleacerón develops around the study and manipulation of the “box-fold” The variable scale of the fold is responsible for presenting a volume that is compact at times offering a series of spaces - closed-compact the curved fold is a response to complex external stresses of a topological action it is a formal topological expression - in structural equilibrium - that responds to outer strains that welcomes and leads towards a compressed end Jincy: How is an architectural fold first conceptualised by you Sol: The fold interests us for its capacity to generate space and for the theme of the unit A unit that this at the same time formal and spatial Our work focuses on how to transfer these "folding" concepts to our architecture and how to build it with the circumstances that belong to it Jincy: How do you typically approach a project Juan Carlos: Our approach comes from ideas or previous concepts that we have worked on or developed as part of our line of investigation that are mostly materialised in models of several scales and materials along with the variables inherent to each place’s reality each of the base folds is developed through a series of layouts sections and models until the complete definition of the particular piece has been accomplished both in terms of geometry and perceived realisable space Jincy: Seemingly straight planes angle and collide to form decorated ceilings and surfaces – how do you come up with these reliefs Sol: The final form of our buildings is the result of the developed spatial operations – the folds playing with voids and solid surfaces as this is produced as a result of the strains and forces applied The form itself makes the volume structurally stable creating a single volume that does not require external elements to support itself The models of the projects would give you a better comprehension of this Jincy: Across your oeuvre of contemporary architecture there is a steady witness of clean geometries and monolith forms perched upon stretching landscapes – is that done intentionally How does this landscape influence the buildings and how do you ensure a dialogue between the two Sol: We have had the opportunity to work in different environments with their own characteristics and consistencies that influence the decision-making and initial intentions of the project We always start with a meticulous study of the existing circumstances and an analysis of the specific situation for each project as they are now capable of modifying the environment to create a harmonious setting that does not encroach upon each other Jincy: There are either acute corners or an absence of them in these works strategically placed windows – is that deliberate Juan Carlos: All the elements that are present are part of a specific approach an approach that concerns the entirety of the work its scale and its relationship with its environment related to one another and respond to an intended coherence and as a unit and not different elements that are pieced together Jincy: What are some materials and colours you are fond of and use to achieve structures that seem strong yet airy at the same time Juan Carlos: The materials we employ try to give a clear and coherent response to the initial approaches as well as to achieve an efficient constructive logic We always seek to use durable materials that are sustainable in their entire life cycle In the case of folds, we normally use concrete as it is able to express the solitary unit we seek to create a single material that achieves the required continuity between the different planes durable materials that respond to the place These coupled with strategically placed voids and natural elements of water sunlight and air lend these buildings the duality of seeming robust yet light concurrently The Chapel in Valleacerón is conceived as naked as a place in which the indoors-outdoors spatial relation establishes its sense: only a cross and an effigy in the focal point reinforce the symbolic aspects of the project Jincy: Do you approach religious projects such as these the same way you do others Juan Carlos: Throughout history, religious architecture has always manifested as unique that become a reference point in the city and that are always pioneers when it comes to the technical advances of their time laced with human emotions and becoming built pinnacles of our skills and techniques Beauty is not dispensable in our life; it has not been so throughout history, nor is today. Architecture, which defines the habitat in which we move, is not dispensable either; it is an attainable art form that everyone can have access to. We consider chapel architecture to be living examples of expressions of beauty signifying the immeasurable value of architecture in our lives remains more or less the same for buildings of other typologies – the process and so much more come into play that inevitably every piece of sculpted material becomes unique in their approach and final result Jincy: What is the one piece of architecture that remains Juan Carlos: Within the manifold history of global architecture there are a series of works that remain key to us that have opened paths for us and are now a part of our investigation processes One of these pieces is the Pantheon in Rome in which everything develops from a single concept - a single unit – to mathematical perfection and precision and structure respond to exactly the same generating idea We have always approached our work with this same concept of unity In more than half a decade of dedicated writing and research fueled by her education and experience in architecture ideating as well as aligning and editing content for STIR’s design and architecture verticals She also edits and oversees the day-to-day editorial operations for its launch platform Her keen interest in what demands design and creative plurality at large drives her professional pursuits She often tunes into a variety of media centred especially on maligned women true crime and what we get wrong about history From vernacular knowledge to modern sustainability Middle Eastern pavilions serve as living archives of architectural thought offering fresh frameworks for global adoption STIR engages with the curators of the Togo Oman and Qatar pavilions—debuting at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025—on representation the book presents a fictional story depicting algorithms exercising control over humans and how this affects the built environment Tipnis shares how the toolbox democratises the practice of restoration via DIY resources to repair tangible urban heritage made of common building materials Exclusive preview for subscribers.

it is a formal topological expression—in equilibrium structurally—due to external stresses.  forming light holes in relation to orientation which casts different types of light throughout the day and modifies the interior space little by little It is a space experience as opposed to that of the Chapel of Valleacerón for which the architects were able to choose its location The house is located in the final section of the access to the chapel at the top of a small valley giving a light valley of cherry trees and crops with a distant view of the territory in which it is located “A big hanging cross in concrete pierces the fold and creates light openings facing certain directions casting different lights throughout the day When visitors look at the chapel from all sides it gives no clue as to where the entrance is due to its introverted structure Project: Chapel in Sierra La VillaArchitects: Sancho-Madridejos Architecture Office SLDesign Team: Juan Carlos Sancho and Gerardo MartínEngineers: Germán FerrándezStructural Engineers: Bernabeu IngenierosGeneral Contractor: SegesaClient: Private Photographers: Hisao Suzuki and J.C Input your search keywords and press Enter You can see how this popup was set up in our step-by-step guide: https://wppopupmaker.com/guides/auto-opening-announcement-popups/ Photo of Ignacio Madridejos (black and white) 30/09/2019.- The Board of Directors of Ferrovial today appointed Ignacio Madridejos as CEO of the company following a favorable report by the Appointments and Remuneration Committee where he held a number of positions of responsibility in 2003;

In line with this strategy, we’ve closed the Broadspectrum sale and are continuing to work on divesting the rest of the Services unit We’ve also implemented a new structure that’s more flexible and efficient by reorganizing the Financial and Human Resources areas as well as integrating External and Internal Communications We are very close to reaching €50 million in reserved savings The pandemic has forced us to take measures to protect our liquidity position There have been several broadcast events to reinforce the message The pandemic is accelerating trends like teleworking and online sales We have to be attentive to changes in mobility and always putting efficiency and innovation first The Horizon 24 plan is off to a good start but we still have a long way to go to surpass the goals we’ve set for ourselves How are each of the divisions moving forward and changed its name from the historic Agroman to Construction We cannot be left behind in terms of digitization and so this along with redesigning processes and the incredible team we have we’re continuing to work towards the goal of a 3.5% EBIT margin set for 2024 We must continue to introduce innovative technical solutions in order to differentiate ourselves from our competitors We have seen Cintra become affected by traffic… This is true. We saw drops in traffic of about 80% in April. Since then, traffic has been recovering on all our highways, with higher or lower intensity depending on the restrictions imposed on mobility at a local level. The 407 ETR has already begun producing dividends again, and we’ve closed refinancing for the LBJ which demonstrates confidence in our assets Organizational changes have also been taking place with Andrés Sacristán and Javier Tamargo appointed as the new CEOs of Cintra U.S Cintra continues to work on developing opportunities for growth remains one of the division’s priority objectives for expansion Restrictions on mobility have impacted air traffic in particular, which is still seeing an 80% drop from last year. We’re working on making airports safe and on testing systems to prevent quarantine. The recovery process will take time, so costs need to be adjusted to new levels of traffic and find new, permanent efficiencies. At Heathrow spending cuts of £300 million have been implemented to offset lower revenues as well as a 2020 CapEx reduction of £650 million We continue to look for new investment opportunities whilst ensuring we get the timing and the business plan absolutely right Mobility is one of the company’s most unwavering commitments… After the lockdowns, ZITY’s service restarted in Madrid and launched in Paris and we’ll continue working on it to open in more cities in the coming years We have other projects underway that go hand in hand with innovation; we’ll unveil them as they advance closer to fruition It is imperative to understand how mobility changes and how it affects our business How is the situation for construction in the U.S.A construction hasn’t been set back too much during the pandemic and several construction and building contracts worth $255 million Both presidential candidates have announced important infrastructure investment plans that would be launched after the election so we think we’ve really hit the target in selecting this market as our primary objective The lessons that we have learned from the three challenging projects specifically will help make this a more profitable market for us The United Kingdom is another worthwhile market The United Kingdom is still one of our strategic countries. Boris Johnson’s government is committed to infrastructure as a means to boost the economy and foster the country’s growth. Various initiatives have been announced to accelerate projects. We’re already participating in several of them, such as high-speed rail (HS2) and the Silvertown Tunnel services have been going through some tough times that have even seen our major competitors in difficulties Amey has been reorganized to focus on more profitable sectors adapt their structure to current conditions and maintain their position as leader in the United Kingdom Heathrow has continued to be one of the drivers of Britain’s economy as a major generator of wealth and employment This is why it is so important to find solutions that limit the impact that lockdowns and restrictions have on aviation it needs to find ways to compensate for the decline in traffic What do you think of the situation in Spain Spain is one of the countries hit hardest by the pandemic both in terms of impact on the economy and health and all key workers during lockdown in March and April are truly valued Now it’s time to help the economic recovery to launch projects that will reinvigorate consumption and employment by accepting support from the European Union and the €140 billion reconstruction fund This is a great opportunity to transform our infrastructures Ferrovial has shown its commitment at every moment Throughout the worst moments of the pandemic and now that it’s time for the country to recover we are here and ready to contribute with projects and support At what stage of the process is the sale of Services We’ve closed the sale of Broadspectrum to Ventia for A$465 million The last General Shareholders Meeting saw majority support for moving forward with the process though we believe that the current economic situation may slow it down I am confident about our future. I believe that we’re taking steps in the right direction, and the market recognizes this. Our stock value continues to beat our benchmark. Moreover, our strong finances place us in an unbeatable position to take advantage of opportunities. Our assets are sound and high-quality. Even the smaller ones, like the highways in Portugal or Ausol – when we put them into rotation they’ve received good ratings from the funds that acquired them Horizon 24 gives us competitive advantage and we need to understand how to make the most of them and having ample liquidity will allow us to study opportunities that may arise in infrastructure due to countries going into debt and other companies selling assets Our commitment to innovation and the future of mobility will offer us opportunities for which we will need to be prepared What makes me most confident is the team we have here at Ferrovial Our people always strive for excellence and act with integrity Will the company change a lot from how it has been over the last ten years It understands the changes that occur across markets and responds accordingly We will adapt to changing times and new trends but that does not mean we will stop being a developer and an infrastructure operator that is deeply committed to innovation efficiency and attracting and developing talent What have you missed the most during the pandemic and especially seeing my children who live outside of Spain more What was the first thing you did after lockdown I stepped outside to feel freedom and sunlight again and really look forward to traveling once again when possible I like to travel with my family and learn about new countries and cultures What has been the hardest part of this situation for you I’m extremely concerned about the economic and social impact this has had We must stand in solidarity with the community and support our companies so that they can create employment 1965) is a civil engineer from the Technical University of Madrid and holds an MBA from the Stanford Business School He was Agroman’s construction manager from 1990 to 1992 and a consultant for McKinsey in Spain and Argentina from 1993 to 1996 holding positions not limited to: CEO for Egypt (1999) and Spain (2003) and Chairperson for Northern Europe (2008) and the United States (2015) He has held positions in industry associations: president of Oficemen and CEMBUREAU (the European Cement Association) Dear employees and shareholders 2024 was a pivotal year for Ferrovial I m proud of what we have accomplished together We continue to deliver complex essential infrastructure benefiting communities around..

Located on the road that joins Ciudad Real and Picón – a small municipality of 675 inhabitants that is 13 kilometers northwest of the city – has a seven meter drop between the top and the lower edge the proposal follows a double objective: protecting the natural resources and reducing the impact of residues Three prior factors determine the project design: place deriving from the location of the winery in an emblematic environment prompts to design a freestanding building with a unique character and to propose a solution respectful with the landscape and of low environmental impact able to adapt both to the scale and to the predominant colors in the area the location of the winery – partially buried high up on a hillock with views over the landscape and the vineyard located to the south – gives it a front-back condition that polarizes the project and clearly differentiates the north front from the south front opening the spaces as needed to the southern views along the most representative facade while the industrial facilities are behind the north building in spite of the building’s industrial character lets the building blend harmoniously into its context the building is set forth as a rectangular compact piece of 85,50 meters in length and 23,10 meters in width which includes all the necessary elements arranged so as to guarantee an optimum industrial development of the winery Two essential elements constitute the winery: in the first place the plinth and a higher one that is lighter and metallic In the second place the corrugated metallic sheet which covers the plinth and gives the facades a certain mimetic character the building is polarized in two sectors depending on the uses where the machinery and the chemical processes related with winemaking are located with a greater level of finish and spaces interrelated in a more complex form Anja Lunge (jefe de proyecto project architect); Carlos Seco NB-35 / Alejandro Bernabéu (ingeniería estructuras structural engineering); Larson - Industrias Grafer (fachada facade) In the fertile formal laboratory of Juan Carlos Sancho and Sol Madridejos the fold is an instrument with great potential in their quest to attain structural and material coherence in a single sweeping gesture Arquitectura Viva presents a selection of four Spanish works from a small chapel to a large educational complex concluding with a recent international project The magazine's dossier features two museums that officially opened in recent months and which illustrate the trend of displaying collections in 'visitable storehouses,' free of exhibition criteria: the Musée de la Romanité in Narbonne by Foster + Partners; and the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam Patrick Templeton writes on Thomas Heatherwick's iconic projects in Manhattan questioning their utility as public spaces and Javier Escalonilla sketches the Paul Nelson's life straddling two continents and Products sections are complemented by a tribute to Ricardo Bofill with Luis Fernández-Galiano declaring the stature of the recently deceased Catalan master Order Arquitectura Viva 241 Born in Madrid in 1965, Ignacio Madridejos graduated in civil engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and holds an MBA from Stamford Business School Madridejos has extensive international experience he joined Agroman in 1990 as head of a construction project he joined McKinsey as a consultant in Spain and Argentina regional president of CEMEX Northern Europe safety and responsibility and regional president of CEMEX USA Madridejos has also held senior positions in a number of industry bodies said: “Ignacio Madridejos combines superb technical and economic training with a successful international career which is particularly important at this time of change in the company.” Madridejos said: “Ferrovial is a great company because of the quality of its professionals “I am joining the company at an exciting time and I am confident that with the support of the entire organisation “Society and clients demand efficiency and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Building & Construction Today website is the place to come for compelling and informative features news and products for a diverse audience serving a wide construction sector The "Good Ol' Boys Show" at the Frary Gallery features the works of three homegrown talents: W.C these local visionaries are not particularly well known in the area "These artists create radically different work and come from radically different backgrounds," she said "They share one thing in common; they've each reached a point in their artistic careers where recognition is due this exhibition will help bridge the gap."

guidelines of the project were determined by the characteristics of the site a hinge-shaped plot of land that connects the new area of urban development with the fragmented and torn fabric of the city center the buildings raised on a whole series of plots are meant to ‘sow up’ the existing edgesof the city Settled in the direction of the new Carabanchel Alto avenue the plot belongs to this set of bordering sites The organization of the volumes departs from the alignment of the assigned plot The adopted solution manages to generate semiprivate courtyards drawn up as secluded spaces but in contact with the city at the same time On the other hand there is a second characteristic which is the presence in the southern side of a new urban park that descends practically all the way down to the edges of the M-40 In a dense environment this aspect gives the building a unique character Both in its organization and in its scale the project is determined by the features of its context and this is clear in the organization of the volumes one block moves up to the edges of the plot and three more are placed perpendicular to the first The interior has been designed in accordance with two dwelling types that address the specifications of the program The block along the edge of the plot contains a dwelling type with a bay measuring 11,40 meters organized around a central backbone that contains the services With a clear and orderly modulation of the structure this distribution separates the bedroom areas On this side the internal glazed skin that covers the block along its more public facade is set back With this gesture it is possible to generate terraces open to the park The opposite facade has been designed to facilitate the union or separation of the bedrooms thereby highlighting the versatile character of the dwelling and the possibility of changing its functions The transversal blocks have a bay measuring 9,30 meters with duplex apartments in which the lower floor contains the kitchen and living area and the upper floor the bedrooms In this case the dwellings come out into the landscaped spaces generated among dwellings closing up to the western
