This competition was the milk factory CLESA company renovation in Madrid.

It is a factory with history since it was designed by the Spanish important architect Alejandro
de la Sota (1913-1996).

The new management area covers 10,000 m2 of retail space, a reserve of green areas of 6,000
m2 and 12,000 m2 of public roads.

The idea is to populate the public areas with a “smart canopy”, an intelligent roof that cover the
open public areas, creating shady areas that protect people and turn intimate spaces.

Get the name of “smart” because it is a canopy that not only performs the function of raiment
sun. The hood has at its top a photovoltaic cells that absorb solar energy . This energy is
stored in batteries that are in the bases of the pillars supporting the parasol. In these pillars
have a number of plags that can be used by citizens to recharge their electrical devices, electric
bicycles, electric cars, cell phones, computers and other electrical appliances.
In this way we become a passive element (shade), an active element (energy).
