The regional parliament has passed a law that paves the way for the vote on independence

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said he will do everything within the law to stop the vote called for 1 October

Spanish prime minister Mariano Ra- joy has said that he will do everything legally within his power to stop the independence referendum called by the Catalonian authorities on Wednes- day. He has called for the Constitu- tional court to overrule the law that was approved in a parliamentary session that Madrid has described as a “democratic atrocity”. While state prosecutors prepare to bring charges against the leaders responsible for al- lowing the law to go through, all may- ors and other public representatives are to be warned that their duty is to prevent the illegal vote from going ahead. Meanwhile the secessionists say that they will declare Catalonia a republic just days after a vote for independence.

The contest aims to reshape the future of architecture and planning along the Costa del Sol and shortlisted proposals will feature in an exhibition that will be held in the Casa de Cultura, in La Cala de Mijas, from Friday 15 Septem- ber until Monday 9 October. The Costa del Sprawl, organised by Estudio ESSE, is a continuation of an ongoing project that looks at the architecture and urbanism of parts of the Costa del Sol, in particular how the design of an area impacts on the life of the diverse local population. Last year’s project focused on an abandoned concrete structure in Riviera del Sol and an exhibition of the entries was held on site. This year’s theme is identity and participants were asked to imagine a building, fragment of a building, or a space that can act as a precedent for contemporary vernacular architecture specific to the area of Riviera del Sol. Vernacular architecture Vernacular architecture, also known as folk, popular and traditional architecture, is an architec- tural style that reflects local tra- ditions and is designed based on local needs and availability of construction materials. Sam Eadington, of Estudio ESSE, is currently studying in the Neth- erlands in order to obtain his Mas- ter’s degree in architecture. Sam won a scholarship from the West Yorkshire Society of Archi- tects with last year’s project, and this year he has proposed an un- developed plot of open land over- looking the Mediterranean Sea, between Calle Jose Rivero and Calle Severiano Ballesteros. “By using the half-built structures and open spaces that are already there, we could put a bit of life into the area. It doesn’t have to be a huge investment; you just need a bit of imagination,” Sam told SUR in English. More than 200 ideas were sub- mitted before the entry date ex- pired and the organisers have received some “quite quirky designs”, 28 September 8th to 14th 2017 LIFESTYLE SUR IN ENGLISH
