La Cementera

That sets us appart

We want to move away people from the noise of big cities so that they find themselves and thus develop to the maximum their human and professional potential.

What sets us appart

What sets us appart

We want to create a sports, socio-cultural and advanced study Centre in a natural and balanced environment, so people who want to carry out personal projects could do it while finding a way of life based on continuous personal improvement.

Because of the interest that a project like ours has generated, we were offered an iconic place of the History of Spain: the Benagéber’s abandoned Cement Factory, in Valencia. We have proposed an example of how our ideas could be materialized.

La Cementera

Social Action

v Social Action
Because of the development of the activities we will carry out, we will earn significant income that is to be allocated entirely to social activities, construction and services maintenance and care for the employees of the Centre. We will relate to private and public entities and we will offer grants to anybody who is adapted to our objectives so it can work on its personal project.

v   Social Objectives
• To facilitate and provide needed tools to different social groups so they can carry out projects and enjoy the Center facilities in a unique and controlled atmosphere.

• To be an example of how the humankind can relate both to nature and technology.

• To build a Center where truly stimulate modern and original projects that help progress and positive shift of society.

• To create a welfare Center aimed at creation of healthy links that help personal growth.

• To promote a simple and healthy lifestyle that looks for human harmony on three different levels:

                  1. Individual: seek for a physical, mental and emotionally balanced personal development
                  2. Collective: develop the awareness of other beings and enhancement of human relationships
                  3. Environmentally: seek for the identification of human beings and technology with nature.

v Elderly People
We will house senior groups and we will invite them to enjoy our spa and special atmosphere, offering them beautiful moments and great experiences in natural areas.

v Students
We will give grants to the best artistic projects and athletes, we will record musical projects, create an interdisciplinary scientific research centre and give an opportunity to young people demonstrating that they want to work hard in their projects and who need a different environment, method and training to improve themselves and to carry their projects out. All the Cement factory’s resources will be available to the grant holders so that they can fully exploit their projects.

v People with problems
Our Center atmosphere will be suitable to house people with addition, mild depression or healthy-related problems in need of controlled and natural environments to continue on their road to recovery. Those people will be received as a part of our social action.

v Environment
This is an important point for us. We will create an exceptional environment to carry out all the proposed activities. A fresh and renewing energy will be perceived in our Center. We want the respectful atmosphere to be felt when people interact with each other, their environment and everything that surrounds them. From the early design stage of the Restoration Project, our objectives have been clear:

To build an adapted and integrated within the natural environment place
To combine technology to serve the human needs
taking advantage of the area's natural feed.

But that is not enough. People who live there, the ones that lead the Center, will have to live (and we are already doing so) with the values that have prompted us to build the Center.

Our

Proposal

Repairing what exists to bring it back to life.

RENEWABLE ENERGIES A building with ecological performance that can emerge as the definitive connection between history and innovation.

SPACE UTILISATION We will set the basis of a new space utilisation, where the values our Organization believes in will be reflected.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT We will respect the balance between nature and the existing architecture.

REPOPULATION OF THE AREA We will rescue the history, culture and beauty of the natural environment to avoid the loss due to abandonment.

La Cementera

The restoration

Before and after

An event room will be built using the old bridge-crane, creating a closed space using textile ceilings and movable sidewalls.

Movable walls and textile ceilings seek to minimize the impact of the intervention when no events are hold.

Auxiliary structures will be installed over floor and deck so removable floors and lighting can be easily assembled when required.

x

User’s sensory experience will be stimulated even during the walk along the access path. It will include changing rooms, swimming pool, terrace, massage area, sauna and solarium.

The curved forms of the original constructions will be followed and visual privacy will be achieved through them.

The vegetal cover of the changing rooms will be set up as a stay area and a viewpoint overlooking the spa.

x

The multipurpose building is conceived as a flexible area, with movable partition walls, which have the elements for the storage of material, that can freely subdivide the space according to the needs.

A classroom with capacity for twenty people will be prepared for theoretical lessons and seminars.

x

Access to the upper level will be done through a terrace prepared for possible outdoor events with capacity for 2000 people. It will preserve the iconic essence of the tower.

The adjacent hill will be used to build auxiliary facilities for the terrace of events. They will be semi-buried and will have a plant cover that continues the vegetation that surrounds the area.

There will be a natural ramp and a staircase at the rear that will guarantee comfortable and safe access to all the levels of the building. One of the walls will also be used for the installation of a climbing wall.

Every intervention seeks to redraw the surroundings as little as possible to ensure accessibility.

Los antiguos silos de la Cementera se convierten en apartamentos donde los usuarios podrán disfrutar del entorno natural y descansar

Los apartamentos, en dos o una planta, gozarán de todas las comodidades y las mejores vistas al paisaje.

The rehabilitation of this area seeks to create a guesthouse that can accommodate up to 60 people and a multipurpose building with spaces prepared for practicing of sports, for giving classes and seminars and for doing other activities.

The rooms will be sober and confortable, all bright, with outside views and with enough room for studying and working.

An Illusion

that can

become true

We know that we must walk a long way to carry out our project, we have asked for permission to the City Council of Benagéber and we have carried out an exhaustive study of all the architectural, sociological and environmental details to formulate our proposal.

The Cement Factory of Benagéber is waiting unchangeable to be returned to life and we want to do it.
