Scope and content:
The project series documents the competition entry for the design and construction of the Valdemingómez recycling plant for urban waste, as well as offices. The plant is located in the Southeast Regional Park (Parque Regional del Sureste). In 1997, Abalos & Herreros in collaboration with Vertresa won first place in the competition. The firm identified this project as number 99.
The plant has “[…] two complementary constructions, one intended for the elaboration of compounds from organic waste, and the second, the control and weighing of the lorries that enter the area. […] The facility has a working life of 25 years. After that time it can be recycled as an amenity for the Regional Park or be dismantled by recycling its components” (ARCH270971).
The firm received several awards and recognitions for the Valdemingómez plant. In 2000, they received the award of Urbanismo, Arquitectura y Obra Pública 1999 from the Madrid City Council, made it to the selection process at the premios FAD de Arquitectura e Interiorismo 2000, and obtained a prize from the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid.
In 2001, this project was also a finalist for the Premio Mies van der Rohe and received second place for the Premio Manuel de la Dehesa. The plant received an award at the fourteenth Premio Grupo Dragados de Arquitectura de la Fundación CEOE and was also selected at the third Bienal Iberoamericana de Arquitectura e Ingenieria Civil in 2002.
Documenting the project are competition and working drawings, logbooks, notes, correspondence, studies, reports, proposals, receipts, press releases, clippings promotional, reference, digital, photographic and graphic materials, and a model.
