La poesía de Domingo López Torres: hacia el surrealismo en Canarias

[ES] A causa de su militancia en el partido socialista, el poeta canario Domingo López Torres (1910-1937) murió asesinado en los inicios de la Guerra Civil española tras permanecer varios meses en prisión. Su compromiso no sólo fue político, sino también literario. Enemigo de todo tradicionalismo, simpatizó con aquellas tendencias estética s renovadoras que incorporaban los estilos, las ideas y conductas más progresistas de la Europa de los años 30, llegando a desempeñar un papel vital en el proceso de recepción del surrealismo en la isla de Tenerife. Este artículo describe el paulatino acercamiento de López Torres al movimiento vanguardista liderado por André Breton. Con ese objetivo se analizan sus dos obras fundamentales: Diario de un sol de verano y Lo imprevisto , ambas inéditas hasta 1987 y 1981, respectivamente. Mientras el primer volumen, escrito hacia 1929, conecta con los principios del Ultraísmo, con el regionalismo postulado por su paisano Pedro García Cabrera, con la “poesía pura” de Juan Ramón JJiménez o con las facetas neopopulistas de García Lorca y de Alberti, el segundo, compuesto en la cárcel de Fyffes poco antes de morir, revela ya el uso de imágenes y procedimientos abiertamente sur realistas.

Las valoraciones en el nuevo régimen estatal de suelo

Se analiza a continuación la regulación de los criterios de valoración de suelo y de otros bienes y derechos en la Ley 8/2007, de 28 de mayo, de suelo, que modifica de forma sustancial el régimen urbanístico del derecho de propiedad, y, en consecuencia, el sistema de valoraciones vinculado a aquel

Las indemnizaciones por traslado de actividades económicas en las actuaciones urbanísticas

Se aborda en este trabajo el marco jurídico de las indemnizaciones que corresponden a los titulares de bienes y derechos distintos del suelo, para revisar a continuación la casuística que la jurisprudencia ha desarrollado sobre el resarcimiento de los daños y perjuicios ocasionados a los titulares de actividades económicas cuando éstas deben trasladarse por resultar incompatibles con la ejecución del planeamiento. Bajo la rúbrica de «traslado de industria», la jurisprudencia ha reconocido distintos supuestos indemnizatorios que, sin constituir un catálogo cerrado, permiten la identificación de los elementos comunes a la mayor parte de las situaciones juzgadas. The legal context of the compensations that holders of properties, and different rights are entitled, is approached in this work, revising next the casuistry that jurisprudence has developed about compensation of damages caused to holders of financial activities when these turned out incompatible with the execution of plans and must be moved. Jurisprudence has admitted different data of compensation under the round off «moving industry», which enable to identify the common interests of the most part of the judged situations

La práctica de las valoraciones en la Ley 8/2007, de suelo

La Ley 8/2007, de 28 de mayo, de suelo, plantea una nueva regulación del régimen del derecho de propiedad al que están vinculados los criterios de valoración del suelo y de otros bienes y derechos, e introduce una metodología de cálculo de los valores de aquellos que constituye el objeto de este estudio introductorio de sus problemas de aplicación práctica. El propósito de estas líneas es analizar las cuestiones de mayor relieve que plantea la Ley 8/2007, de 28 de mayo, de suelo, en relación con la práctica de las valoraciones urbanísticas.

El método residual dinámico en las valoraciones urbanísticas

El método residual dinámico, que aporta a las valoraciones urbanísticas la racionalidad científica propia de los análisis de proyectos de inversión, incorpora también, en relación con la versión estática pacíficamente aceptada por la doctrina y la jurisprudencia, la complejidad que supone la estimación pormenorizada de los flujos financieros futuros del proceso urbanizador y promotor, así como su periodificación en un horizonte temporal concreto, además de la adopción de un conjunto de decisiones complejas de naturaleza predictiva, factores cuya incidencia se analiza en el contexto de la valoración urbanística como prueba pericial.

Professional Liability of the Construction Professional as an Expert Witness in the Spanish Legal Framework

Inside COBRA 2011 RICS International Research Conference, the present paper is linked to analyze the liability of the construction professional in his practice as a expert witness in the Spanish legal framework. In a large number of legal procedures related to the building it is necessary the intervention of the expert witness to report on the subject of litigation, and to give an opinion about possible causes and solutions. This field is increasingly importantly for the practice of construction professional that requires an important specialization. The expert provides his knowledge to the judge in the matter he is dealing with (construction, planning, assessment, legal, ...), providing arguments or reasons as the base for his case and acting as part of the evidence. Although the importance of expert intervention in the judicial process, the responsibilities arising from their activity is a slightly studied field. Therefore, the study has as purpose to think about the regulation of professional activities raising different aims. The first is to define the action of the construction professional-expert witness and the need for expert evidence, establishing the legal implications of this professional activity. The different types of responsibilities (the civil, criminal and administrative) have been established as well as the economic, penal or disciplinary damages that can be derived from the expert report

The value of cultural assets. Maintenance Costs and economic sustainability at heritage

Under the 12th International Conference on Building Materials and Components is inserted this communication related to the field of management of those assets that constitute the Spanish Cultural Heritage and maintenance. This work is related to the field of management of those assets that constitute the Spanish Cultural Heritage which share an artistic or historical background. The conservation and maintenance become a social demand necessary for the preservation of public values, requiring the investment of necessary resources. The legal protection involves a number of obligations and rights to ensure the conservation and heritage protection. The duty of maintenance and upkeep exceeds the useful life the property that must endure more for their cultural value for its usability. The establishment of the necessary conditions to prevent deterioration and precise in order to fulfill its social function, seeking to prolong the life of the asset, preserving their physical integrity and its ability to convey the values protected. This obligation implies a substantial financial effort to the holder of the property, either public or private entity, addressing a problem of economic sustainability. Economic exploitation, with the aim of contributing to their well-maintained, is sometimes the best way to get resources. The work will include different lines of research with the following objectives. - Establishment of processes for assessing total costs over the building life cycle (LCC), during the planning stages or maintenance budgets to determine the most advantageous operating system. - Relationship between the value of property and maintenance costs, and establishing a sensitivity analysis.

Modelos predictivos para la valoración territorial de áreas residenciales en zonas litorales turísticas

El análisis del mercado inmobiliario abre nuevas lineas de investigación donde la interdisciplinariedad y pluralidad de contenidos que requiere el análisis económico del fenómeno inmobiliario, nos permite profundizar en campos de conocimiento íntimamente ligados a la profesión del arquitecto.

Se expone una experiencia metodológica concreta destinada a analizar modelos territoriales en áreas litorales turísticas a través de las funciones de demanda de suelo. El estudio tiene como objetivo básico establecer modelos predictivos de valoración territorial a partir de la evaluación de externalidades de carácter socioeconómico, ambiental o urbanístico que han definido el desarrollo urbano del área.

Architectural design and construction costs, tools towards territorial sustainability

This paper is presented in CIB: Management and Innovation Sustainable Built Environment 2011, as the study and analysis of the residential model of a rural area from the Iberian Peninsula, specifically applied to the case of the province of Cáceres, in the autonomous region of Extremadura, in Spain. To this end, from a database made up of building projects whose real costs are known, it is intended to establish the links of the different parameters studied through the corresponding functions of statistical analysis. One of the main objectives of this process is constituted by the possibility of establishing those design variables of higher economic importance, so as to keep an economic control of these parameters, generally geometrical and typological, from the very start of the project. And, in general, a higher optimization of resources in the construction of dwellings in the rural environment from their design is intended.

Sustainable Planning And Land Valuation, New Forms Of Suburban Growth In Areas Of The Spanish Mediterranean Coast

The present study analyzes residential models in coastal areas with large influxes of tourism, the sustainability of their planning and its repercussion on urban values. The project seeks to establish a methodology for territorial valuation through the analysis of externalities that have influenced urban growth and its impact on the formation of residential real estate values. This will make it possible to create a map for qualitative land valuation, resulting from a combination of environmental, landscape, social and productive valuations. This in turn will establish a reference value for each of the areas in question, as well as their spatial interrelations. These values become guidelines for the study of different territorial scenarios, which help improve the sustainable territorial planning process. This is a rating scale for urban planning. The results allow us to establish how the specific characteristics of the coast are valued and how they can be incorporated into sustainable development policies.

The Economic Value of Residential Land in Historical Areas: An Application of the Residual Method to the Secondary Market

Land value bears significant weight in house prices in historical town centers. An essential aim for regulating the mortgage market, particularly in the financial and property crisis that countries such as Spain are undergoing, is to have at hand objective procedures for its valuation, whatever the conditions (location, construction, planning). Of all the factors contributing to house price make-up, the land is the only one whose value does not depend on acquisition cost, but rather on the location-time binomial. That is to say, the specific circumstances at that point and at the exact moment of valuation. For this reason, the most commonly applied procedure for land valuation in town centers is the use of the residual method: once the selling price of new housing in a district is known, the other necessary costs and expenses of development are deducted, including those of building and the developer’s profit. The value left is that of the land. To apply these procedures it is vital to have figures such as building costs, technical fees, tax costs, etc. But, above all, it is essential to obtain the selling price of the new housing. This is not always feasible, on account of the lack of newbuild development in this location. This shortage of information occurs in historical town cities, where urban renewal is slight due to the heritage-protection policies, and where, nevertheless there is substantial activity in the secondary market. In these circumstances, as an alternative for land valuation in consolidated urban areas, we have the adaptation of the residual method to the particular characteristics of the secondary market. To these ends, there is the proposal for the appreciation of the dwelling which follows, in a backwards direction, the application of traditional depreciation methods proposed by the various valuation manuals and guidelines. The reliability of the results obtained is analyzed by contrasting it with published figures for newly-built properties, according to different rules applied in administrative appraisals in Spain and the incidence of an eventual correction due to conservation state.

New Constructive Solutions to Improve Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings and their Economic Viability

The improvement of energy efficiency in existing buildings is always a challenge due to their particular, and sometimes protected, constructive solutions. New constructive regulations in Spain leave a big undefined gap when a restoration is considered because they were developed for new buildings. However, rehabilitation is considered as an opportunity for many properties because it allows owners to obtain benefits from the use of the buildings. The current financial and housing crisis has turned society point of view to existing buildings and making them more efficient is one of the Spanish government’s aims. The economic viability of a rehabilitation action should take all factors into account: both construction costs and the future operative costs of the building must be considered. Nevertheless, the application of these regulations in Spain is left to the designer’s opinion and always under a subjective point of view. With the research work described in this paper and with the help of some case-studies, the cost of adapting an existing building to the new constructive regulations will be studied and Energetic Efficiency will be evaluated depending on how the investment is recovered. The interest of the research is based on showing how new constructive solutions can achieve higher levels of efficiency in terms of energy, construction and economy and it will demonstrate that Life Cycle Costing analysis can be a mechanism to find the advantages and disadvantages of using these new constructive solutions. Therefore, this paper has the following objectives: analysing constructive solutions in existing buildings - to establish a process for assessing total life cycle costs (LCC) during the planning stages with consideration of future operating costs - to select the most advantageous operating system – To determine the return on investment in terms of construction costs based on new techniques, the achieved energy savings and investment payback periods.
