  • Trabajos Previos E Informacion Recopilada Sobre El Ambito De Azca
    SEGUNDA PARTE: TRABAJOS PREVIOS E INFORMACION RECOPILADA SOBRE EL AMBITO DE AZCA. 6.- DESCRIPCION DE TRABAJOS PREVIOS REALIZADOS. Tras el estudio de las ideas y propuestas presentadas en los Concursos, y antes de acometer con profundidad cualquier futura actuación por parte del Ayuntamiento de Madrid en el entorno, se consideraba prioritario y necesario el disponer de una información estructurada y fiable. Para ello, y con el fin de llegar a los objetivos recogidos en el punto anterior, la anterior Dirección General de Planeamiento Urbanístico realizó una serie de trabajos en relación con la manzana de AZCA. Estos trabajos se señalan a continuación: Recogida de información previa. La documentación existente en el Ayuntamiento era manifiestamente insuficiente para poder realizar una diagnosis de la situación de la manzana de AZCA con solvencia, debido a lo siguiente: A) Se carecía de unas bases cartográficas actualizadas y fiables, al menos en las plantas bajas en donde se localiza el espacio público. B) No se disponía de una información de la estructura de la propiedad. C) Tampoco se disponía de una información de los usos actuales, ni de su funcionalidad. D) No se tenía un conocimiento exhaustivo de la seguridad en el área, de su accesibilidad y de su movilidad. Recopilación de información mediante realización de trabajos. Como consecuencia de estas carencias, y para poder formular un diagnóstico con cierta precisión de la situación de AZCA, se debía realizar una serie de trabajos encaminados a proporcionar una mayor información del estado y del funcionamiento de la manzana. Se consideraron necesarios los siguientes trabajos: A) Levantamiento de bases cartográficas fiables para poder identificar con claridad el deterioro real del conjunto edificado en la actualidad.

Está ubicado en el corazón del Paseo de la Castellana y muy cerca de Nuevos Ministerios, uno de los principales núcleos de comunicación de transporte público de la capital. • Varias rehabilitaciones de edificios se han producido en los últimos años para seguir atrayendo a la demanda y como consecuencia de esa renovación del parque de oficinas, algunos de los edificios de AZCA, los que están más cerca del Paseo de la Castellana se han integrado en la zona Prime del Central AZCA Business District madrileño. • La recuperación de los precios de los alquileres de oficinas en AZCA ha sido más rápida que la dinámica general del mercado de Madrid. Eso no es de extrañar debido al atractivo de la zona a lo que hay que sumarle el interés de los propietarios para mantener la calidad de los edificios acorde a la demanda actual de las empresas. • La consolidación de esta zona de oficinas también ha atraído a los operadores de espacios flexibles ya que aquí encuentran dos de las características más importantes a la hora de ubicar sus negocios: excelente comunicaciones de transporte público y una demanda dinámica de espacios de oficinas. • AZCA cuenta además con una destacada zona comercial. La calle Orense junto con El Corte Inglés acogen multitud de operadores de moda. El gigante textil, Zara, abrió en el edificio Castellana 79 una de sus tiendas más grandes del mundo.

The APR process at Texas A&M is taken very seriously and we thank you for your time and effort to engage with us to learn about our current practices and our vision for our future. The APR document is not the sole, but perhaps the major vehicle for understanding our Master of Science and PhD programs. Our research‐ based programs are sometimes understood as siloed endeavors from our undergraduate Environmental Design program and our professional Master of Architecture program; however, we intend all of our academic programs to be tethered together in unique ways.
