URBAN REGENERATION AND RECOVERY OF THE FLUVIAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE NERVIÓN-IBAIZABAL RIVER
On November 22, 2018, the 2nd edition of the Albert Serratosa City and Territory awards, promoted by the Caminos Foundation, was held in Madrid. The aim of this prize is to publicize and disseminate important projects in the City and Territory area, that contribute in the medium and long term to the sustainable development of the environments in which they are implemented.
The jury was made up of members of the Colegio de Caminos and the Foundation, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Development, the Superior Council of Architects (CSCAE) and the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP). IDOM was one of the finalists for the Urban Regeneration and Recovery of the Fluvial Environment of the Nervión- Ibaizabal in Bolueta (Bilbao) project.
Following the act, an exhibition of the finalists was inaugurated, where the characteristics and details of each project were shown. And how they contribute in a sustainable way to the urban development of the cities.

Our Project
The area in which the project is being developed is conceived as a space of transition, without barriers that hinder mobility, between the urban fabric of the city and the natural environment of the Nervión-Ibaizabal River. Different areas are considered: the zone of roads and accesses to the railway station, the public spaces between buildings, the riverside promenade and the area of the river's edge, which follow each other and transform in a fluid way.
The new colony presents a privileged orientation towards the south, the river and the views of the natural landscape. The arrangement is presented in open linear blocks, in the form of a fan, guaranteeing the sunlight of the same, and oriented towards the river walk.
IDOM has been working since the beginning with the Basque Government, after winning First Prize in the Contest for the drafting of the Special Plan for Internal Reform, in the Construction Project and the Works Management.
