    Contexto arquitectónico y desarrollo tecnológico del Cine Monumental de Teodoro Anasagasti
    (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2017) Lavilla, A. (A.); Pozo-Municio, J.M. (José Manuel); Martín-Gómez, C. (César)
    La superación de la crisis que caracterizó la economía española en los años veinte permitió que pudiesen construirse más edificios y que fuese posible seguir los conceptos de las corrientes modernas europeas. Los cines fueron uno de los géneros más dados a ese intento de modernidad. Existen pocos ejemplos de verdadera calidad arquitectónica, y la mayoría de ellos se edificaron en las grandes ciudades, como Madrid y Barcelona. Y es en este contexto donde cobra todo sentido rescatar del pasado una de las grandes obras construidas en aquellos años: el Cine Monumental de Teodoro de Anasagasti, aportando datos arquitectónicos y tecnológicos adicionales a la historiografía existente.

    Simulation and evaluation of Building Information Modeling in a real pilot site
    (Elsevier, 2014) Martín-Gómez, C. (César); Vidaurre-Arbizu, M. (Marina); Eguaras-Martínez, M. (María)
    The current methods of building energy simulation that designers and engineers (D&E) use in order to find the energy performance of a building do not take into account the real behavior of the people who will use the building. The main aim of this paper is to show how by merely including the real behav- ior of people in building simulations there may be differences of up to 30%, through the study of a real pilot site simulation with existing software. These data confirm the possibilities of energy and money saving that energy simulation programs bring about when they include schedules of true use of the build- ing (BIM).

    El Colegio Nuestra Señora del Recuerdo de Luis Laorga, Madrid, 1957-1958
    (2016) Martín-Gómez, C. (César); Durá-Gúrpide, I. (Isabel); Rangel, B. (Bárbara)
    Abstract Objective Nuestra Señora del Recuerdo School designed by Luis Laorga synthesizes the common concerns of school architecture at a moment of intense activity in the study of typology and it stands out as an exemplary work as well. The research identifies the values and contribution of this building and determines its relevance in the history of the Spanish architecture. Methodology This work places Nuestra Señora del Recuerdo School in its historical context, analyzes the building in detail using original documentation and determines its impact in the architecture journals of the period. Conclusions The project was created on the basis of rationalist patterns and offered particular concepts that contributed to the development of typology. This design became a point of reference for later projects due to its diffusion in specialized journals that, with these publications, put a Spanish school on the level of international vanguard for the first time. Originality Although the Laorga’s school building was valued in its time, it has not been enough heeded by historiography mainly as consequence of its demolition. Therefore, the study of this project in depth is considered proper to highlight its contribution as an architecture work. This paper is not only writing to researchers but also to all architects by the current validity of its architectural principles.

    Intellectual Attitude in Building Services Design in the Pavilion of Spain at the New York World’s Fair
    (T6 Ediciones, 2014) Barrutia, B. (Borja); Martín-Gómez, C. (César)
    The constructed architecture and exhibitions inside the pavilions erected at international exhibitions are logical and necessary starting points for studying the design process that lead from the program to its implementation. The analysis of these elements, though indispensable for the study of a set of cases, usually focuses on the final stage, or at least in a theoretical outline focused on the architectural conception of the ‘idea’. Obviously the reality is much more complex, so it becomes indispensable to obtain a holistic view of what was happening in twentieth-century Spanish architecture, by incorporating actions and agents that enhance the knowledge of what happened. In the present case, the Spanish Pavilion at New York, designed by Javier Carvajal, what is of interest is that it had to be built 'over there', taking into account the high quality requirements imposed by US regulations, with Spanish means and engineers from 'over here'. If that 'there/here' distance had been excessive, the execution of the project would had suffered, and resulted in something different. But Javier Carvajal was lucky enough to have a brilliant Spanish engineering team, who also had ample experience of working in USA military bases in Spain, so their knowledge of techniques and technologies was the same as what could be found on the other side of the Atlantic. From the architectural point of view, all this tells an exciting story of how a Spanish architect and some engineers were able to design, calculate and execute a project carried out in the United States, and maintain the levels of aesthetic and technical quality as planned in their Madrid workshops. In other words, it is a truly international project since the physical and intellectual boundaries did not cause any problems, obstacles or constraints, because the engineers involved were perfect connoisseurs of energy systems and the most advanced building services of the moment. These systems provide the basic storyline for this text, but they must not hide the brilliance of the intellectual attitude towards joint work which permitted the architect and engineers to come up with a remarkable solution.

    Strategies to reduce air pollution emissions from urban residential buildings
    (Elsevier, 2024) Martín-Gómez, C. (César); Kumar, P. (Prashant); Ariño-Plana, A.H. (Arturo Hugo); Manzueta. R. (Robiel)
    As cities continue to grow, developing mitigation strategies is crucial to minimize the corresponding increase in air pollutants. One source of potentially controllable air pollution is the emissions from residential buildings. We conducted a literature review to systematically examine air pollution emissions from residential buildings in urban areas, identifying pollutants and their sources; investigated mitigation-aimed intervention types by field of application or study, and finally listed and discussed strategies to reduce the concentration of air pollutants in residential buildings. Our compilation shows that among the nature-based solutions, green walls offered the highest relative reduction of air pollution ( 15 % NO2 and 23 % PM10). Of the construction-based solutions, already-available photocatalytic paint can achieve reductions of 25 % NO, 23 % NOx and 19 % NO2 as is. Industrial-based solutions promise high levels of reduction, but these must be adapted to residential buildings. The integration of various existing and potentially adapted mitigation solutions may achieve even higher pollution reduction rates in urban areas.

    (2014) Martín-Gómez, C. (César); Vidaurre-Arbizu, M. (Marina); Eguaras-Martínez, M. (María)
    The article presents the process of placing sensors in a multi - sensorial network, dynamically incorporating a large number of heterogeneous input sources able to provide accurate monitoring data related with sp ace occupancy, energy consumption, comfort levels and environmental quality.To evaluate this multi – sensorial network on real life conditions and on the specific business domains addressed by the Project, this sensing network will be based on heterogeneous sensors (light, motion, CO2, CO, temperature, relative humidity, existing infrastructure on video - surveillance, depth/range image generators, energy consumption, etc.) in order to provide an all - inclusive perspective of covered spaces. The article is part of a global Project to develop privacy - preserving human detection and tracking toolkit , whith the implementation of algorithms for calibration of multiple - depth sensors in the architectural sketch up of a building (BIM), and the development of techniques for extraction of occupancy - related statistics in the spatio - temporal domain of a building. It is an architectural prototype agile and scalable, integrated with the extended LS middleware, que permite the training and calibration as decision making toolkit for Facility Managers.
