  Three Architects, a City and an Era. Ribes, Mora and Goerlich in the València of the First Half of the 20th Century

  ARCINIEGA, Luis (coord.)

  València: Ministry of Territory Policies, Public Works and Mobility , 2022. Llibre

  This joint work where several specialists on heterogeneous disciplines intervene narrates one of the most important architectural moments of the city in a key moment for the configuration of a renewed urban image reflecting modernity and progress. The concatenation of two ephemeris as important as the centenary and fiftieth anniversary of the deaths of *Demetrio Ribes (1921) and Javier Goerlich (1972), they serve as a pretext to vindicate two figures which, accompanied by Francisco Mora, took the leadership of the transformation of València in the first half of the last century. The book combines very specialised texts with others linked to more general aspects. A wide perspective that...

The concatenation of two ephemeris as important as the centenary and fiftieth anniversary of the deaths of *Demetrio Ribes (1921) and Javier Goerlich (1972), they serve as a pretext to vindicate two figures which, accompanied by Francisco Mora, took the leadership of the transformation of València in the first half of the last century. The book combines very specialised texts with others linked to more general aspects. A wide perspective that offers from a vision of the city through the press of that time untildetailes studies on the expansion district, the weight of the expositions in the usual architectural languaje, associationism in the construction sector, the use of applied arts or projects which connected the three protagonists of the work, without neglect monografic research for each one of them.

  The País Valencià's Roads of Antiquity

  ARASA i GIL, Ferran

  València: Ministry of Territory Policies, Territory and Mobility , 2022. Llibre

  For archaeology, roads are a specific category of remains produced by human activity as a result of communication needs. In their most developed form, that of communication channels suitable for wheeled vehicles, they have been well identified at least since the Iberian period, and their construction became widespread in Roman times. The form they take as archaeological sites is peculiar, different from others with larger surfaces and concentrated development, such as settlements or necropolises. Roads are linear, narrow and very long sites, and as such present a particular problem for their study and also pose different protection needs. The construction of roads became widespread with...

  For archaeology, roads are a specific category of remains produced by human activity as a result of communication needs. In their most developed form, that of communication channels suitable for wheeled vehicles, they have been well identified at least since the Iberian period, and their construction became widespread in Roman times. The form they take as archaeological sites is peculiar, different from others with larger surfaces and concentrated development, such as settlements or necropolises. Roads are linear, narrow and very long sites, and as such present a particular problem for their study and also pose different protection needs. The construction of roads became widespread with the Roman conquest and constituted one of the fundamental pillars of the great territorial reorganisation programmes set in motion at the beginning of the Empire, such as that begun by Augustus in Hispania. This basically consisted of the construction of a series of major strategic axes which - in a highly centralised state - guaranteed communication with the capital, Rome. The far-reaching nature of this programme meant that it continued throughout the 1st century AD, under the reign of different emperors, with the intervention of all the administrations. The work presented here is intended as a state of the art on the history of roads in Antiquity. This work aims to question the history of the pathways of Anquity in the Valencian Country, the Iberian world and the Roman period throughout nine centuries. A relevant novelty is taking a closer look in details that allow to go back the history of some centuries ago to the Iberian era and the first findings of Republican era roads and the transition phase between these two great Mediteranean cultures that interacted with the Valencian lands.

  Baeza-Utiel Railway

  ALABAU MONTOYA, José and LATORRE ZACARÉS, Ignacio

  València: Council of Territory Policies, Public Works and Mobility , 2022. Llibre

  The idea of linking France and Africa with a railway system that would go through Spain from North to South to form a possible connection with the Spanish and French protectorates in nothern Africa came to the mind of Spanish and French politicians of the 19th century. One of these projects was approved during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship (1926): a transversal line from Baeza (Jaén) up to Saint Girons in souther France that went through Jaén, Albacete, Valencia, Teruel and Lleida as an alternative to the system of the moment. This study focuses on the BaezaUtiel railway, which was the first line of this marcoproject and covered 370 km, with specia attention to the Valencian part...

  Unborn Section of Teruel-Alcañiz

  VERDEJO GIMENO, Pedro

  València: Council of Territory Policies, Public Works and Mobility , 2022. Llibre

  The publication of 'La arquitectura de las estaciones intermedias de ferrocarril: la sección non nata del Teruel-Alcañiz', by Pedro Verdejo Gimeno, won the 17th Edition of Demetrio Ribes Award.

  The book awarded in this edition presents the case of the railway from Baeza to Saint Girons, a great transversal axis that crossed the Iberian Peninsula connecting France with the port of Algeciras and that, after years of work and vicissitudes, would never be put into operation.

  The aim of the research is to promote and disseminate the architecture of intermediate railway stations as identifiable pieces of our railway history. We have taken as witnesses the existing buildings on the ‘non nata’ railway line that runs between the towns from Teruel to Alcañiz.

  In their buildings, as well as responding to new approaches that break with the previously executed railway architecture, they are configured as a lamp of experimentation among a varied range of materials produced by industry, in coexistence with traditional techniques and materials.

  The synthesis of the research takes the form of a catalogue which, in a legible and orderly manner, provides a complete and identifiable view of the entire group of buildings in number and extension, indicating their location, characteristics and state of conservation.

  Female Pioneers in Valencian Engineering. A Femenine Discipline Genensis

  CLIMENT VIGUER, Susana; CALVÉ MASCARELL, Óscar

  València: Council of Housing, Public Work and Territory Planning , 2021. Llibre

  This volume brings to light the career of eleven of the first roads, channels and docks female engineers who studied at Universitat Politècnica de València and the career of a female technical engineer, all of them graduated after 1978.

  Our pioneers. Teaching, research, school administration, public administration and private business were their field of expertise in such a broad discipline as engineering.

   

  Years of change. The configuration of the Valencian autonomy and the start of the territory development, the first steps of the Valencian College of Roads, Channels and Docks Engineers and the inclusion of women in universities as professors and researchers. They opened the path for future generations to make engineering a 'femenine discipline'.

  This publication is included in the third part of the series 'Tributes: Remember and Meet' of the Transport Museum Booklet Collection.

  Roman Springs in Mura, Lliria

  TORMO ESTEVE, Santiago

  València: Council of Territory Policies, Public Works and Mobility , 2021. Llibre

  This publication won the 16th Edition of Demetrio Ribes Research Award in November 2020.

  The award-winning text Water and thermal functionality of Roman thermal complexes. Las Termas mayores de Mura in Llíria (Valencia), by Santiago Tormo Esteve, presents the thermal baths of ancient Edeta (Llíria), one of the largest and most unique Valencian examples of the expertise of Roman engineers and architects.

  The wisdom with which they designed the entrances to the ovens, the materials chosen for the transmission of heat inside the rooms, the complex hydraulic network that allows the hot and cold water to enter and exit. A whole compendium where the four elements, fire, water, air and earth, are mixed with the architectural designs in the most efficient way to make the most of the functionality of buildings created to accommodate the population in their time of relaxation.

  The book uses computational engineering to explain the actual functioning of the building. It concludes with the hypotheses of materials, the ducts through which the air circulates, the design of the shapes of the rooms and the dynamics of the start-up, elements that define it as one of the most important thermal examples of Roman Hispania.
