Against the general tendency in a region marked by the exodus of people from countryside to city Villamuriel de Cerrato has seen its population multiplied by ten since the seventies when an automobile factory was installed within its municipal limits The urban expansion accompanying this demographic growth has finally boxed in the old graveyard rendering a new site on the periphery necessary the new cemetery lies along the road that leads to the moor after crossing the Canal de Castilla with a hill of replanted pine woods as backdrop The concrete wall that identifies the site from a distance folds in on itself which are all grouped around an atrium and a pool that reflects the sky Using the features that identify southern Europe’s burial grounds from afar the necropolis announces itself with a roadside cross and a wall that marks its perimeter while following the particularities of the topography The only element that organizes the resulting precinct is a ring of circulations traversed by a path that climbs the hill at its maximum slope which ends below at a flared portico that guides the entering funeral procession The high end of the path is a cross that cuts a figure against the silhouette of the hilltop The idea of a fenced-in place is reinforced on the north and south where the perimetral wall thickens to accommodate the inevitable series of niches In contrast to the overall introspective mood of the complex the northeast corner becomes a lookout to the valley establishing the cemetery’s only connection to the barren horizon of the Castilian plain A building that groups together the church the chapel for wakes and the lavatories leans on the most pronounced break of the wall Attached to the flared portico of the entrance a court provides access to the different areas forming a rectangular ambulatory whose one open side frames the perspective view of the hilltop a pool in the middle offers the reflection of the sky The trapezoid-planned chapel emphasizes the altar with a skylight that brings in the southern light A large window rips the nave laterally and conceals the horizon leading one’s gaze to the pavement of a second courtyard The gestural austerity of the project is enhanced by materials chosen for their textures: Core Ten steel for frames and formwork-molded concrete in the wall An asphalt sheet blends the broken profile of the roofs into one striking a contrast with the flat spread of the Castilian meseta Cliente ClientAyuntamiento de Villamuriel  Contratista ContractorConstrucciones Río Mayor there arent any match

Mary Help of Christians to travel the distance from Palencia to Villamuriel the group promised to return the following year to visit the Mother The promise has been kept and thus a tradition that has lasted for 37 years was born due to the medical emergency caused by Covid-19 the singing of the Ave Maria and the kiss of the medal were not possible These 37 years of tradition have thus had to adapt to the times we are all experiencing together with the different teams from many entities and associations from Astudillo responded creatively by organizing various online activities to be carried out

a revolution of its own within Renaulution General Manager of Renault Group's Iberia Vehicle Division and AutoRevista 2023's Director of The Year OEM Award AutoRevista - Looking at the cascade of new model announcements for Renault Group's Polo Iberia in Spain it could be said that the Palencia and Valladolid plants are making their own revolution within the Renaulution José Martín Vega - The Renault Group is currently involved in the Renaulution Strategic Plan from 2021 The Resurrection phase was dedicated to improving the Group's profitability; the Renewal phase reorganised it by brand aligning the Group with customer needs; and the Revolution phase transforms the company into a Next-Gen company Renault Group's factories in Spain were awarded five models as part of what we call the Renaulution Spain Strategic Plan making them the Renault Group's hybridisation hub The three Spanish factories and the Valladolid R&D Centre were transformed to produce hybrid and hyperconnected vehicles we are already producing two of these vehicles in series production The Palencia Factory is preparing for the series production of the Rafale and two models are yet to be unveiled from the Valladolid Factory of which we are very proud because we have managed to take on this challenge while meeting all our quality and deadline requirements and maintaining the historical competitiveness of our plants AR.- What does it mean to lead the industrial strategy for hybrid models for Renault Group in Europe and how are you working with your team on this mission J.M.V.- Renault was the first European manufacturer to commit to 100% electric vehicles and current European regulations are pushing the European market towards this technology The charging infrastructure is insufficient and we are a long way from meeting the Fit for 55 targets: by 2025 we need to multiply our charging points by a factor of five only 22% of the public charging infrastructure is more than 22 kW which is insufficient for fast-track charging The hybrid vehicle is a strategic solution as long as the charging network is not operational and the customer does not opt unequivocally for a 100% electric solution It is therefore the best response in this orderly ecological transition to electric vehicles and this is the opportunity for Renault Group's factories in Spain The teams have transformed the factories and increased their skills to produce hybrid vehicles with the largest amount of on-board technology in history AR.- After the launch of the "most Spanish" Renault Palencia will take on a real surprise such as the Rafale how does this range of models position the Villamuriel de Cerrato factory?  J.M.V.- The factory in Palencia has adapted its industrial facilities to produce these three models which reflect a real transformation within the Group turning this factory into the vanguard of innovation very demanding quality processes and also producing in a very environmentally friendly way The production of these vehicles has meant very important innovations for the factory new painting processes such as two-tone or satin paint new ADAS benches to check the quality of hyperconnected vehicles or the integration of more than 400 new welding robots All this to produce three vehicles of the new era of connectivity with the highest quality the production of a vehicle like the Rafale which is set to become one of the brand's flagships is a real challenge and a source of pride for the staff at Renault Spain's factories The fact that these vehicles have been awarded to the Palencia plant demonstrates the level of the Palencia plant within the Group AR.- The Renault Group's R&D Centre in Valladolid is not often mentioned but what are its synergies with the Spanish plants J.M.V.- The R&D+i Centre now has a modern collaborative building where more than 1,000 engineers work every day on the series production of the products manufactured at Renault Group's Spanish plants The vehicles assigned under the Renault Spain Plan have strengthened the role of this centre which has acquired new skills and new challenges the driving aids that will be incorporated into the new products Its engineers are the architects of the transformation the sector is undergoing AR.- Another key to outstanding management lies in the management of the extended value chain How do you interact with and value the involvement of the industrial fabric with which Renault works in Castilla y León and Spain J.M.V.- Renault plays a vital role in the economy of Castilla y León and in the Spanish automotive sector we have a wide range of suppliers based in Spain given that our country is one of the main centres of automotive production several of them have a presence in Castilla y León This is a necessary condition for competitiveness in the automotive sector; the logistics cost the carbon footprint and the possibility of having synchronous flows generate competitive opportunities that are only possible thanks to an industrial network of suppliers close to our production plants the Renault Group's industrial base is one of the main assets of the region's economy what are the keys to new developments and growth in the future we are fortunate to have the Renault Group's hybridisation centre in the world in Castilla y León which allows us to produce the bulk of the company's mechanical components and hybrid vehicles This is very fortunate because right now the volume is in this type of vehicle Renault Group has a plan to produce one million electric vehicles and Electricity has the capacity for 600,000 The remaining 400,000 will have to be produced in other Group plants and the Spanish factories have to prepare themselves well in order to be able to be possible awardees in the future.  AR.- What are the greatest contributions in your career as a result of your work in the TecnoCentro and in the Maubeuge Factory J.M.V.- In 2013 I was appointed director of the Maubeuge factory A factory located in the north of France that specialised in the production of vans (Kangoo for Renault and Citan for Mercedes) a different industrial plant to the ones I had known before thanks to a close and effective relationship with the teams we were able to significantly improve the factory's competitiveness making it the French reference factory in just two years on the experience accumulated over 13 years at the Renault plant in Palencia My time at the Maubeuge plant helped me to understand that there is no single "miracle" solution you have to know how to interpret the reality of each factory at any given time you have to know how to adapt a good solution to the particular context of that new factory never forget that people are the main value of an industrial activity without close collaboration and understanding with people AR.- How would you define your management style?  J.M.V.- My management style is based on being close to the workplace touching the problems or opportunities for improvement listening and empathising with those who experience the difficulties most closely resolving in teams and being simple in management we must never forget that successes must be shared with the teams we favour the personalised delegation of activities that require a plan of action The professional development of our teams depends on their knowledge and skills we challenge our professionals so that - beyond their classic responsibilities associated with their function - they are capable of managing and leading the resolution and treatment of problems or opportunities for improvement This allows us to make it easier for each person and each professional to grow in managerial attitudes and skills as they face the responsibility of managing tasks and teams beyond their predetermined perimeter Lea esta entrevista en castellano Interview published in AutoRevista 2.385 ha analizado en un nuevo artículo de opinión The Security
