          For this exercise it was proposed to the students the organization of an area released of circumstances of real context: a field with rectangular shape, whose dimensions were 420 metres wide and 594 metres long, formed by two horizontal plans with ten metres difference of level..  

          I tried to organize that field, paying special attention both to the traffic and leisure areas, in the image of what happens in the urban areas, as well as to markedly different situations, such as squares and roads of unequal importance.

          The leisure spaces - squares and free areas  - present themselves as easily identified ones, both by their dimension and nature, and by their proximity to buildings whose volumetriy is clearly striking and iconographic.

          The distribution of quarters and volumetries is done upon a reticulate grid which articulates two directions of the built mesh and from which we obtain quarters that have a continuous facade whose interiors inner spaces will be used as a continuation of the public space.
