have already begun work on the Plaza de San Agustín. We wanted to make a summary of all the proposed action because many of us know the full extent of this project. We have always considered St. Augustine's Square and its surroundings with an area of \u200b\u200bgreat potential and hopefully through adaptation is achieved a core of cultural and tourist interests.
The adequacy of the square space is explained below is the starting point for a more ambitious, a great project municipal tourist and cultural spaces including an ethnographic museum and another dedicated to wine and oil, commodities the town's economy as well as the presence of monumental landmarks such as St. Augustine source, sink and future tourist office municipality.
therefore redevelop the space proposed is clearly susceptible to remodeling as one of the most representative of the population. The redevelopment is undertaken in order to value the space and to acquire enough articulating character and the other actions to be proposed. These photographs that began illustrating this article are the photographic memory of the current state of the square , and our idea is to republish it after completion of the works to have the appropriate comparative ...
As an introduction it is noted that the Plaza de San Agustin is one of the major centers of social traffic in the population and, in turn, brings together many elements and cultural heritage. His courage and strong character is trying to go over this document. 
The project's main objective is the enhancement of an area of \u200b\u200bgreat historical and ethnographic improving conditions at all levels, ie both its spatial character and / or aesthetic, as one more purely pragmatic or neighborhood.
be respected in all pre-existing design , using them as thread of the proposal. Thus, the stone bench and mulberry installed in the center of space the native stone staircase Alcublas located on the northwest corner of the square, the source San Augustine and the trough generators are elements of the new spatial configuration.
The buildings that make up the perimeter the field (among which are the municipal offices and the building of the rock taurine to be rehabilitated for public use in the future), be addressed in the proposal with great care, improving the design conditions for access and utilities on them.
The design takes into account activities mass entertainment and cultural nature that are made throughout the year in the square, such as meetings bands local music, religious processions and festivities popular type.
The passage of vehicles is kept and studying for that is in tune with the rest of the uses to which public space in this complex.
Historical site.
Plaza de San Agustin is one of the most densely populated areas of the municipality ethnographic values. Therefore brings together a great potential and is capable of being remodeled space to put it in value, to redefine around him and its history, a new spatial arrangement.
The historical trajectory of the environment of the square of St. Augustine we place in the seventeenth century , when we can trace a policy of public works for the town of Las Alcublas driven by population growth of the village and their aspirations to beautify the urban environment.
The first documentary references appear in 1618, when the owners of the town council agreed with the planter works Hontanilla Bartolome mine water, popularly known as Mena. " The driving Mena is constructed of stone and covered by large slabs of marble from La Pedrera which is inside a vault that was used to bring water from the departure of Santa Barbara to the fountain of St. Augustine, located on the square. The civil work is beautifully crafted and strong ethnographic value.
There is evidence that the extra costs of more importance that the town in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were related to the water, a basic need scarce in the locality and throughout the term. A survey was conducted in search of aquifers, as well made remote areas of the urban environment. In any case, higher expenses related to the water were not surveys, but channeling water to the population and the construction of public sources such as exists in the environment at hand.
When Alcublas early seventeenth century was still under the effects of an expansionary phase of a demographic and economic authorities of the town realized that the water supply from wells and cisterns, most them privately owned, was insufficient for a growing population and, as was necessary to increase the number of public wells, it was desirable also make a source for comfort and better service to the residents.
On 28 August 1618 is water in the well of St. Augustine, who took that name because that day the feast of the saint. On September 22nd, 1618 granted authority to Bartolomé de Hontanilla and another mason to do the chapters on the work of the source is started. On November 18, made the chapters agreed to auction the work.
Following its construction the source was subject to various reforms to its maintenance and improvement. Of these reforms we can highlight the construction in 1647 of a pile of stone cattle trough, battery was replaced in 1752 by agreement of the City Council.
late eighteenth century the source was subject to further reform, this time more important, which consisted of building a monumental facade and construction of a broad trough, works that were completed in 1798 as indicated the date inscribed on the stone from the source. The facade consists of a wall face framed by a broad smooth flat moldings in the lower part houses the two pipes through which water exits and rounding off the set a ledge on which stands a scrolled pediment mixtilineal, all done in black marble stone of the Pedrera (same stone in the floor of the Lonja de Valencia), marked by its contrast pinnacles topped by a ball, made of limestone, which lie at the ends of the cornice and the pediment. also stressed the Cross of San Antonio, symbol of the town, placed in the center of the pediment and built in white marble.
General objectives of the project.
The aim of the project involves the redevelopment of the Plaza San Agustín de Alcublas with goal of creating a more pleasant and attractive urban .
This redevelopment will involve renovation of existing facilities that are in disrepair and the introduction of new services. Bury those that are currently air.
The performance also has an aesthetic and space. surface treatment is designed public spaces with quality materials and appropriate to the type of service they give.
There are several reasons that require advance the rehabilitation of urban environments. First, the deterioration of housing stock and loss of environmental quality, secondly, the stimulation of economic activity towards small and medium-sized construction companies and finally access to housing costs reasonable use of existing networks.
The main problem that lies behind many campaigns and propagators of rehabilitation is none other than getting the public to identify with the rehabilitation project, become involved in their resolution and to logically know its contents for its evaluation.
Sanitize the historic center is a necessary operation to insert the accumulated heritage of the new urban market. In addition to combating the problem of the historic site according to the census of population aging, depopulation and physical deterioration.
is tries to show people that this program of renewal is necessary to make the city more current, more livable, more adaptable to new processes, in short, a modern kernel that meets current needs felt by the population.
is intended to sweeten the historic center by acting openly redevelopment bet for quality. Applying solutions minimum maintenance cost. This is a concern that in contrast to other high cost projects conducted in other urban centers.
The conservation status of most of the houses that make up the square is good. The owners maintain their buildings and infrastructure conditions, finding only an abandoned house. They therefore
habitats primary residence.
The performance is conceived as an engine for employment and attracting new residents to the use of existing housing stock in stock.
intervention to improve access and prioritize pedestrian use space, so that it remains a center of town social.
must be noted that at present are already performing in homes, public spaces and vernacular heritage restoration and dry stone, using existing materials with a very media economy laudable, seriously affecting the recovery of the environment and aims to strengthen this performance.
also has a catalog of Heritage with a highly participatory process socially, which is now publicly available through the website. No doubt, the provisions set for the declaration of rehabilitation area has been an instrument of positive effects on the conservation of the historic center of Alcublas. The redevelopment of the Plaza de San Agustin can be an engine to implement relevant commitments and strategies to supplement and develop heritage conservation existing.
Prior actions have been performed within the scope of the Historical Center. Such actions have included the renewal of urban infrastructure and services, upgrading of public spaces and numerous streets and in the rehabilitation of public buildings such as the City Council, the old slaughterhouse for municipal offices, municipal building housing the offices of Bancaja and the headquarters of the Musical Union Alcublana.
therefore seen as the analysis of the historical background of the square, the study of its operation, the current state of it and the pictures and concluded that the objectives performance are:
- La Plaza de San Agustín is a central element in the municipality, by its physical location in the urban and social use. The performance includes and adds value that character
- Action organize and interrelate the various flows (pedestrians and road traffic).
- The state of the paving and urban quality of the square is somewhat deficient and inadequate at present for use and a strong ethnographic component it presents. The action seeks both to add representation to the site, how to improve your enjoyment more everyday.
- Achieving a uniform and adequate lighting to the needs of the population.
intervention on the Plaza de San Agustín stems from a desire to provide the space (high value ethnographic and popular) of the conditions for constituting a real plaza, a quality urban space.
Following the completion of a comprehensive historical study of the square, in view of its social as well as the monumental presence of three elements (the black stone staircase Alcublas, Ore and the source and trough of St. Augustine) you start to see space as an environment in which care is fragmented and difficult to polarize. Thus, a voltage is generated that results in the appearance of two living areas close to the assets and space reserved for cars (the intensity is very light).
The insertion of a grandstand or step adds complexity to the space, characterizing and enhancing the area as the social glue.
should be noted the willingness to get all the homes provide a space of respect prior to entry, increasing the sidewalk in front of them.
Despite the flight of parallelism on the ground, the space is unified by the materials and furniture and lighting used on the canvas so that it is square, relate different landmarks or elements interconnected and provided each other harmonizing the outcome of the proposed redevelopment.

DESCRIPTION OF WORKS
Paving
Given the topography of the site, the proposed section is asymmetric in terms of its slopes and rain water harvesting, with variable-width two sidewalks , due to the irregularity of the contours that make up the space.
The material chosen will be the concrete high quality precast. Is chosen as a material for highly efficient technical characteristics, as well as aesthetic qualities.
alcorques Jewelry and constitution of
Plaza de San Agustín, by its nature a pole of attraction for masses of people in different events, and its proximity to the edge of the mountain population is called to be an eminently space drive. Therefore it appears the vegetation as an element of dual character: the pragmatic (element of shadow and atmosphere) and composition.
should be noted that respects Mulberry (Morus Alba) available about the source dedicated to the saint, and the element banking that goes under the glass . The path of change and enlarged alcorque.
addition to the existing tree, the design is completed with the planting species: Aromatic
Type: lavender, lavender, rosemary, thyme, planted in tree pits linear flush with the pavement.
Oak Quercus Ilex, (or any other tree species to choose work by the architects) The oak is planted with landmark status. This element is responsible to stress the design lines of the spatial configuration. also defines and helps to provide a space of respect for the black stone staircase Alcublas, thus giving it a more monumental.
Furnishings.
different elements are projected street furniture such as benches and bins.
All the furniture is placed in those places that helps define the public space, so that is perfectly integrated into the urban scene.
existing banking system is restored to the source and incorporated two new elements seat near the shaded area provided by the new tree and the monumental staircase and two on the platform at the eastern end of the square.
following defines these elements: Banking
existing seat of native stone on concrete base. Irregularly shaped poor condition. recovers the stone surface regularizing base as indicated on detail drawings.

ripped a hole is projected vertically on the wall between the chariz and existing almond orchard, in a way that allows for some visual permeability between the two spaces, while maintaining the function of the wall to isolate and preserve the square of the prevailing winds.
With all this we give a farewell to the current concept of the Plaza de San Agustin and look forward to enjoying it we and future generations.
We wanted to conclude our Work on the Project of Rehabilitation of the Plaza de San Agustín focusing on the issues that gave rise to more feedback. We started with profiles: current status. In it we see the considerable discrepancy between the opposite ends of the square.
also take to indicate that, contrary to what some comment indicates, the project is the City Architect. Has been developed by the team of Labastida Emilio Martinez, Patricia Moreno and Jordi Salvat Calvo Barbero. Another issue that was to stir up the street paving . In the following diagrams we see that it is stamped concrete, but concrete paving . The difference is obvious, but the result of one or the other we left for experts to rate voices.
We see that both the size and placement differ placed on sidewalks used as paving of the plaza.
So will the paving of the plaza.
source of many comments: the stone bench and other furniture. We see the plans for the restoration of existing stone bench.

chariz details. The gap that exists between the building of the Rock Taurine and formed by the gardens that serves as a connection between the source and sink, is full of waste that could clog and foul the connection. It is also dangerous because they are not marked with any falls.
cover this gap is proposed to avoid falls and improve cleanliness and appearance.
We started with the current profile of the square and close to its future prospects. It can be seen perfectly the already famous holes torn by the fountain.
Detail holes torn by the fountain
and end the central detail of the square, not less discussed the stairs, what has been called tiers on occasion. They appear in the center of the plane.
We have been able to shed some light on an important project for our people. Neither endorse nor criticize, we simply provide information, though we thus criticized by a few.
