An operation of modernization, reconstruction and new definition of the historic district of La Sang in Alcoi. The intervention combines new infrastructure and civil engineering elements (vehicle access and ramps) with the domestic scale of La Sang’s characteristic narrow streets and intermediate spaces. The result, which has a strong structural component, introduces in a highly coherent fashion the residential forms and concepts of the modern city into the historic district.
