Analysis of the effects of (de)regulation on housing prices in Spain 1977–2019
(Emerald, 2020) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia; De Jorge-Moreno, Justo
Purpose This paper analyzes the regulatory effects on homeownership and rental prices in Spain in the years between 1977m1 and 2019m5, taking into account the economic crisis. It also studies the causal relationship of the prices of private housing (owned and rented). Design/methodology/approach Interrupted time series analysis has been used to analyze the legislative impact on the construction sector. Also, the Box–Cox transformation has been used to carry out the above analysis. Finally, Granger's test has made possible to determine the causal relationship between the price series. Findings The results obtained in this work show the partial positive effects of legislative instrumentalization, which in general result in decreasing trends of prices in both types of housing use. Likewise, the causal relationship between the prices of owned and rented housing shows that the latter do not provide any incentive with respect to the former. Social implications The social implications in this work could be important since this paper analyzes the effects of (de)regulation on housing prices in Spain, and the policy implications could help to control the speculation in housing. Originality/value The results obtained in this work could be relevant, both from the point of view of future housing policies and of the agents involved and that of society in general. In addition, this work could contribute to fill the existing gap in this field in Spain, given the scarce literature that raises the objective, using quantitative methodologies.
Baugruppen. Innovation through collaborative infrastructures
(FuPress, 2019) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia
In the 1990s in Berlin the Baugruppen movement developed an innovative housing project as a “typological” experimentation. Several case studies will be analysed based on the users’ needs, the self-made construction, affordable options, collaborative housing, and creative participation. Once this model has been known a potential alternative can be applied to the shortage of housing options in Europe. This paper analyses several case-studies realized in Berlin which could be defined as a compact “vertical village” or “vertical mat-building” by land consumption reduction. Adopting the theoretical approach of the Baugruppen, the case studies will be evaluated through five key points: common infrastructure, personalized spheres, variable volume, hanging gardens, and shared common spaces, to validate their “typological” experimental quality.
Bazana Go! Cooperativa de Producción Ecológica
(Europan, 2018) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia; Gutiérrez, Nicolás
PRIMER PREMIO. El proyecto que ha obtenido el Primer premio, BAZANA GO!, logra, en opinión del jurado, el perfecto equilibrio entre todas las variables: trabaja con la población local y su industria productiva de pequeña escala, identificando la variedad de productos agrícola‐ganaderos con un enfoque de cooperativa ecológica sustentable; identifica nuevos usuarios y residentes que de forma gradual se van integrando al tejido urbano y contribuyen a un crecimiento paulatino; trabaja con el tejido urbano de una manera muy respetuosa, extendiéndolo dentro de la ciudad con pequeñas intervenciones, y culmina con un gesto fuerte y sencillo: un muro integrado en el paisaje y articulado con agua, símbolo del riego de estas comarcas, que genera una nueva identidad complementaria y no en competencia con lo concebido por de la Sota. Es una propuesta sensible, de pequeñas intervenciones a lo largo del tiempo. Es fácil imaginar cómo puede ser implementada en fases e ir autocorrigiéndose en base a las experiencias acumuladas y de bajo costo y bajo riesgo, flexible y fácilmente adaptable a una variedad de programas.

Collaborative designing of communities: Helsinki and Zurich Pioneers
(UPC. Barcelona: Polytechnic University of Catalonia – Barcelona Tech, 2020) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia
High costs of housing, duality of tenancy generating the impossibility to access adequate housing, a high expenditure of salary dedicated to rent and building design not linked to the real needs of the users are causing an urgent search for alternative housing models. The empirical research presented in this article is intended to identify alternative housing management and spatial distribution through democratic design in an era of shortage in affordable housing provision. The article focuses on two pioneers’ case-studies: “Casa Malta”, a multigenerational cohousing in Helsinki and “Genossenschaft Kalkbreite”, a non-profit hybrid cooperative in Zurich, both developed in 2010 decade. The main key points analysed are the human-centred design through participative processes, the shared spaces and the housing policies adopted. These two projects highlight their ability to create an affordable model for urban development perceiving housing as a collective process, affordable living, gender equality and reducing the speculation in housing as basic need. This research aimed to identify the key points of these alternative approaches for housing
Domestic Prototypes Co-Designed Through Experimental 1 m3 Topological Cubes
(Springer, 2017) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia; De Jorge-Moreno, Justo
This paper shows a prototyping project carried out with first-year architecture students at the University of Alcalá. The project starts with the development of a 1 m3 prototype associated to a micro-domestic space for each student, generating forty-five microarchitectures. The main objective for all students is domesticity. Students interpret their domestic intimate space developed in a 1 m3 cube. The aim of this paper is to test the learning process on domestic layout through a prototyping approach. The approach is based on twenty-five previously selected architectural references, and proceeds through a process of co-design learning and design thinking to the translation and experimental approach of ten prototypes constructed at a scale of 1:1. This paper focuses on the learning process carried out with the DPM (diagram, plan, model) methodology and patterns generated by the students’ architectural projects through the development of prototypes.
Mat-hybrid housing: Two case studies in Terni and London
(Elsevier, 2018) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia
This study focuses on the spatial and mutable characteristics of the “mat-hybrid housing” (MHH), a specific type of public housing. Analyses were conducted specifically on the period between 1960 and 1980 and two particular case studies, namely, Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti in Terni, Italy, and Odhams Walk in London. The qualitative research design of this study is based on the methodology called AIFAD (an abbreviation for Archives, Interviews, Fieldwork, Analytic diagrams, and Drawings). The goal of this paper is to identify, define, and extract possible strategies for implementing MHH, which can improve urban growth through compact schemes. These objectives can be achieved by adopting the schemes in such manner as suburban sprawl is prevented, the densities of existing cities are intensified, the possibility of changing the concept of domestic space is tested, and the identity, history, and tenant participation in each city is strengthened. Through this approach, the MHH can be effected.
Palladio and the Mediterranean heritage the patio, atrium and portico as geometrical and well-being strategies
(Institute of Architecture and Urban & Spatial Planning of Serbia, 2019-06) De Jorge-Huertas, Virginia; De Jorge-Moreno, Justo
Palladio’s heritage has aspects that are interrelated with the vernacular architectural heritage of the Mediterranean, and it entails a collective knowledge. The aim of this research is to analyse his work and its evolution over time, paying specific attention to three architectural design elements: the patio, the portico and the atrium in relation to their proportions and ratios. This work will highlight how geometry shapes the space and the form of these three elements, producing architecture for well-being. The main results may constitute a possible new frontier of research where these three design elements make a connection between interior and exterior spaces, strengthen a greater visibility of the geometry, create “intermediate spaces” and enhance the idea of a “Continuous Monument”. The paper will underline how mathematical factors such as proportions, ratios and constructive geometry, together with climatic reasons, are important in architecture for both its configuration and geometry and they are a constant in Palladio’s heritage and his Mediterranean cultural influence.
