The urban and environmental Impact of Madrids Ciudad Universitaria: A comparison between the first Campus and the post-war Campus
2020
González Casas, José Luis | Muñoz Hernández, Jara
Ciudad Universitaria is the Madrid campus that was planned between the 20s and 30s of the last century. For its location a natural environment on the border of the city was chosen, where agricultural crops and lush gardens predominated. It was very little built and often frequented by locals. The construction of the campus in this place aroused one of the first reactions of an ecological nature in the Spanish press of the time, where the modification of the landscape to install the new faculties was strongly criticized. Although the design of the first campus was not as respectful as it could have been, in this research it is intended to prove, using drawings and 3-dimensional topographic modelling, how the real problem came after the Spanish Civil War. At that time, the reconstruction of the University gave way to an uncontrolled growth of the buildings, an aggressive modification of the topography and a strong environmental impact caused by roads and traffic intensity, which have become the essential conflicts facing the current campus.
