La Agencia [.]

2015.  This study is a preliminary technical proposal for the creation of the agency, a new generation cultural centre for the metropolitan area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife - La Laguna, linked to the cultural, social and urban fabric, which activates a disused industrial space.

Espacios Culturales en Las Palmas de Gran Canaria [.]

2017 This document presents an in-depth study of the network of cultural spaces in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Based on a conceptual framework that guides the study, the city's cultural spaces are initially analysed jointly, from a historical perspective and on the basis of their territorial distribution.
In a second stage, the analysis becomes individualised, carrying out a detailed and multidimensional study of each of the publicly-owned cultural spaces and assessing their levels of impact.

The analysis-diagnosis work of the previous blocks is completed with a series of recommendations and proposals for the articulation and reinforcement of the network of cultural spaces in the city.

El Horno. [.]

2017 This document presents an in-depth study of the network of cultural spaces in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
2017. This document defines the strategic positioning of El Horno, a cultural space of future creation in the municipality of Puerto del Rosario (Fuerteventura).
The content of the work has been structured in three blocks:
The first presents a conceptual framework of reference, which situates us in the way culture is currently understood and presents the main challenges and opportunities to which we aspire to respond from this area.
Secondly, based on an analysis of the context that takes into account both the local and regional scales, the orientation of El Horno is outlined and the lines of work that will give concreteness and development to a cultural project of marked personality and high social value are established.
Finally, understanding that cultural processes are inseparable from the contexts in which they take place and that the latter can provide irreplaceable resources to the former, the definition of the mission of El Horno serves as a basis for the initial definition of the attributes that the architectural space in which the project will be developed should have.

Distrito de las Artes de Tenerife. DAT. [.]

2019. Cultural districts act as interfaces between creation and symbolic participation. From this, they contribute to the fulfilment of people's cultural rights, to the quality of life of the community and to the change of patterns in the productive model. Firstly, the arts districts, as eminently cultural projects, offer new resources and services to activate the creative process and favour cultural action. Secondly, thanks to physical proximity and the existence of a space that generates opportunities for exchange, the districts act in favour of the cross-fertilisation of these creative processes, giving rise to new ideas and ways of doing things that, from the cultural sphere, also move towards the social, economic, environmental and political spheres. Thirdly, cultural districts can function as a revitalising engine of the local economy, being sources of jobs based on creativity and innovation that point towards alternative productive models. Fourthly, in their urban facet, cultural districts should be thought of, not as specialised and segregated spaces, but as vibrant places for relationships and encounters, integrated into the city as a whole and open to the participation of the entire community. With this conceptual basis, the Tenerife Arts District (DAT) is an initiative of the Cabildo of Tenerife to create a hub of cultural and creative activity in a sector located in the neighbourhood of Tío Pino Alto. As has been indicated, from an urban perspective, the project is conceived not as a singular and autonomous space, but as a place in close contact with its surroundings, integrated into the metropolitan area of Santa Cruz de Tenerife - San Cristóbal de La Laguna and based on the model of relations it proposes with the territory of the island of Tenerife as a whole.

A Master Plan is a dynamic medium- to long-term planning document that provides a conceptual design to guide the development of a specific project. In this case, the project in question is the Tenerife Arts District and the time frame envisaged is from 2019 to 2025. It is understood that this 6-year period corresponds to an initial phase of launching, progressive deployment and consolidation of the DAT.

Guanarteme [.]

2023. This publication contains the Local Development Strategy in Cultural Key of Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar, prepared by the Culturalink team on behalf of the Town Planning Department of the City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. By Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar we refer to the foundational nucleus of the Guanarteme neighbourhood, a highly recognisable urban environment, organised around the Plaza del Pilar and located at the south-western end of Las Canteras Beach. Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar is a highly unique neighbourhood. This statement needs to be understood in a broad sense and is based on the historical background of the place, its built fabric, its social fabric, the economic activities it houses and the symbolic universe that surrounds it. Over the last half century, the urban dynamic that has run through Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar has had an ambivalent character. The neighbourhood has shown a particular resilience, but also fragilities and risks that need to be addressed. The detailed work of analysis and diagnosis with which the design of the strategy began delves into these issues and is presented in the second section of this publication. Faced with a complex and sensitive context for action, the proposals section of the Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar strategy established two main premises for its elaboration. Firstly, the aim was to overcome the supposed dichotomies that exist between the neighbourhood scale and the city scale, simultaneously seeking to make a positive contribution to life in Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar and to reinforce the connection of the neighbourhood with the dynamics of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as a whole and even with the island scale. In relation to this concern, the strategy was also conceived as a pilot project, potentially replicable in other neighbourhoods of the city, to make the spaces of proximity and everyday life in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria also spaces of centrality and productivity. As a second key premise, although the development of the strategy employed a broad as well as specific vision of the possibilities of urban policies, it was decided that this would be done from a clearly cultural perspective. This point leads to looking at urban space in a way that is particularly attentive to its symbolic contents and also introduces its own mode of intervention, characterised by transversality, creativity and processual logic. The way in which these two basic intentions are realised and the set of proposals that the strategy formulates are included in the third section of this publication. The work carried out for Guanarteme-Plaza del Pilar is based on a conceptual and methodological proposal that is the result of Culturalink's lengthy work in the design of projects that explore the spaces of intersection between urban policies and cultural policies. This proposal is presented in the section that opens this book and aims to serve as a reference framework for composing new ways of observing and intervening in the places that we collectively build, live and activate.
A Master Plan is a dynamic medium- to long-term planning document that provides a conceptual design to guide the development of a specific project. In this case, the project in question is the Tenerife Arts District and the time frame envisaged is from 2019 to 2025. It is understood that this 6-year period corresponds to an initial phase of launching, progressive deployment and consolidation of the DAT..

L'Alqueria del Pí [.]

2021. This document presents the Strategic Bases of the Alqueria del Pí, a former residential-agricultural-defensive building located in the Valencian municipality of Alfafar. With the rehabilitation of the space completed at the beginning of 2021 thanks to the support of European ERDF funds and presented as an interpretation centre for life in the Albufera, the task now facing us is to design the framework of the project that will give a new use to the Alqueria del Pí. This project, logically and necessarily, must be formulated according to the principles of creating public value and economic viability..

Ciudad del Artista Fallero [.]

2021. The main objective of this project is to establish the Strategic Framework for the recovery and economic transformation of the productive space of the Ciutat de l'Artista Faller, located in the Benicalap district of the city of Valencia. This proposal takes advantage of the different studies, participation processes and specific proposals already carried out to explore the potential opportunities for the future development of this highly unique urban enclave. Of particular note is the Decalogue for the Revitalisation and Improvement of the City of the Fallas Artist, developed in collaboration with the professional sector and unanimously approved by Valencia City Council in 2015. The process of designing this Strategic Framework has sought to increase the commitment of those who wish to revitalise the Ciutat de l'Artista Faller and has sought to broaden their support by exploring new avenues of engagement. Thus, for the development of this project, the Fallas Artists' Guild of Valencia was heavily involved, which made it possible to ascertain the real situation of the workshops currently located in the Ciutat de l'Artista Faller and served to gauge their interest. Initial contacts were also established with various potentially relevant agents, such as the Directorate General for the Coordination of Government Action of the Generalitat Valenciana, the Regional Ministry of Culture and Education, the association València World Design Capital 2022, as well as others involved in European projects linked to cultural and creative initiatives, such as Designscapes and MESOC. The proposal for the reactivation of the Ciutat de l'Artista Faller was reinforced through close alignment with higher-level frameworks, such as the Missions València 2030 strategy and the guidelines of the New European Agenda for Culture. Other potential avenues for the promotion of the project were also considered, such as the European funding programmes Next Generation EU and React-EU, the state guidelines of PERTE (Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation), or the initiative in deployment of the New European Bauhaus..
