Any intervention in a historic building, however small, is always subject to a balancing act between respecting the old and daring work with those new parts that should be added. The restoration of the Tower of Huércal-Overa is one example.

The structure is a watchtower that was part of a defensive belt of the border of the Kingdom of Granada ( 13rd Century), is located atop a hill overlooking a wide horizon, which only retained the core elements. The project was to create access to the tower and restore the original state of the same. To achieve this, the place has changed minimally, relying at all times in the topography. The car park has been conducted in an open space exists, the customer service office is a single volume: a box of rusted steel.

This contemporary material causes a categorical distinction between new and old (built with brick walls), especially in the cylindrical body surrounding the spiral staircase which recovers the original entrance of the tower via a walkway of steel and glass . The contrast is brutal and beautiful.

The architects Luis Castillo and Mercedes Miras (Castillo Miras Architects) designed this intervention.

Today we travel to Andalusia to show you the architecture of Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas, a professional outside the media publicity with a strong production, minimalist, conceptual and extremely attached to his hometown of Granada.

Jiménez Torrecillas (1962) is passionate about their land and their customs: “I live in the world, but every night I sleep in Granada,” he said.

Project works as a professor in the School of Architecture of Granada, but travels frequently at universities around the world provided a visiting lecturer.

Since his first built work, the Centro José Guerrero (Granada, 1991-2000), this discreet design and shows us her exceptional ability to keep the leitmotiv of every project from start to finish. This first work, awarded to the Best Intervention in Historical, reveals his mastery of Andalusia in the best way to rehabilitate an old building located in the center of a city with much history as is Granada. This work demonstrates the ability to recognize Jiménez Torrecillas always the historical value of their interventions and interpreting these values in a respectful and contemporary.

Proof of this is also its exemplary action in the High Albaicín Nazari wall (Granada, 2002), winner of numerous national and international awards. In this project the Granada wisely used natural stone and enhances their chances with a series of porous walls that allow light to pass through smoothly. As can be seen in the images in this article the author returns delicately tracing and volume of the wall and a reconstruction that moves away from historical mimicry with subtlety and humility.

With the restoration of the “Tower of Homage in Huesca” (Granada, 2008), the architect also manages to combine past and present in a perfect combination. This work was the retrieval of an ancient tower formerly used as military observation point. To do this, Torres set up its intervention on the remains of the building with the aim of transforming the old building in a new location from which to watch the fabulous views from the town of Granada. Thus, the author recovers the previous function of the tower, but gives new conditions that convert the building into a public urban piece and interesting to visit.

Torres Jimenez’s creations also expressed their longevity and successful aging, since it does not deform over the years. In fact, the discretion of their interventions are usually evergreen materials that nature is often part of the constructions of the architect.

But the history of Granada is beyond rehabilitation and interventions in historic building. Jiménez Torrecillas is a complete and versatile professional with projects as varied as the original showroom for the fashion minimalist Dal Bat or “House Escudero” in Benidorm that we show below.

Architecture of sculptural beauty, quiet and conceptual based on the order and clarity.

For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: “It might have been!”
- John Greenleaf Whittier, “Maud Muller,” 1856
The Wagner & Nauland Block, a composition of two Italianate commercial structures at 742-748 Seneca Street, was demolished in the late 1990s. Was it necessary?

This photograph, taken at about 1979 by Black Rock activist Scott Glasgow, shows the block in its final iteration as Mindy’s Home Service, a used appliance store that occupied the site into the mid-1990s. The heritage structures, which would have finely complemented the streetscape of any city, were reportedly in good repair at the time of their demolition, only a few years before the 2002 rehabilitation of the Larkin Terminal Warehouse, 500 feet away, shattered misconceptions about the potential marriage of preservation and economic development in Buffalo’s “near downtown.”

As little as fifteen years ago, economic development officials viewed the Hydraulics as a strategic location for new shovel-ready parcels that could act as an extension of the Exchange Street Business Park, located to the west of Hamburg Street, and the notion of repurposing the district’s existing building stock for economic development was not yet appreciated. Today, the idea of a revived, mixed-use neighborhood, with varied economic activities, is now on the table, but unfortunately for pioneering urban investors who may have acted on the untapped potential of the Wagner & Nauland Block, this opportunity was laid waste by the city’s ubiquitous bulldozers. Here is the same site today:

Seventy-five years ago, the corner of Seneca and Emslie was a hotbed of urban activity. The corner had a stop for the yellow #15 streetcar, replaced by buses in 1941. A line-up of commercial structures fronted the street, a setting for a bank, taverns, groceries, barber shops, a post office, a drug store, candy stores, and a movie theater. Many of these commercial structures still exist, holding out potential for new economic activity, but the Wagner & Nauland Block is only a memory, the panoply of activities it once housed a subject for historians: N. A. Carroll’s wholesale liquor, Casper Wagner’s boarding house, the A & P grocery, a Deco restaurant, Frank Trautmann’s meats, Joseph Romanello’s restaurant, Emele Nicholas confectionery, Frederick Nauland’s market, and Oliver Hosterman’s bakery being only a few examples of productive uses the structures housed since their construction around 1880.

The Wagner & Nauland Block was not only a charming pair of buildings worthy of preservation, they were economic development tools in waiting, capable of housing inexpensive, attractive space in which new ideas, providing new jobs, could have been attempted. While the vacant lots that remain could be still be developed, albeit more expensively, the lost opportunity represented by the demolished structures forces one to ponder: What might have been?

The ornament details on this building have an eccentric colonial design. One of the detail which is remain to defended as artistic object and still be functioned till now there are the Bell made from brass.

The bell material has a real European typical detail form of the material made to be cupreous of pure. Detail like this is very rare remarked by accessories building detail producers because requiring correctness and very expensive for expense of the workers.

This just in! The January emergency demolition of the Sacred Heart School at 198 Emslie Street not only broke hearts, it also broke the bank.

The emergency demolition of the landmark building reportedly cost taxpayers a cool $125,000. Economic return on the investment? Zero. While few doubt the necessity of the demolition in light of its collapsing brick facade and the imminent threat the building posed to human safety, fewer still believe the school’s “demolition by neglect” was inevitable.

Buffalo is at the cross-hairs of continuing economic struggle and an invigorated comprehension of the revitalization resource of the city’s historic architecture. The redevelopment of certain historic resources is being realized, but hundreds of opportunities persist in going unnoticed. The Sacred Heart School is one example, one of those buildings that, if only the foresight had been there ten or fifteen years ago, might have been sealed up and saved for a better day, set aside for some future entrepreneur who would have seen what others now see: economic potential. Lofts. Offices. Gallery space. Who knows? Now, we’ll never know what might have been.

Thirty years of neglect is a difficult situation to arrest, particularly in eleventh hour scenarios. When historic landmarks are literally crumbling into the street, which is what occurred in this case, immediate remedies are elusive. As economic opportunities like the Sacred Heart School pass us by, however, others come into greater focus. Hefty demolition tabs are putting a spotlight on the urgent need to preserve now the restoration potential of character buildings far in advance of preservation crises. The threatened Sacred Heart Church (above), which stands tenuously adjacent to the now demolished school, may be a test of the community’s ability to preserve economic value while there is still a fighting chance to reverse the “inevitable.”

With the recent passage of New York State’s Enhanced Historic Tax Credit Program, providing tax credits of up to 40% of the costs of rehabilitating heritage structures, the event is a watershed moment in the ongoing development and economic revitalization of the Hydraulics.

The Kamman Building, 755-757 Seneca, is now well on its way to listing on the National Register of Historic Places, making it eligible for historic tax credits being sought by Chaintreuil | Jensen | Stark to transform the structure into apartments and office space to the tune of $1 million. The Hydraulics MPDF (check it out here), prepared by Jennifer Walkowski of the Clinton Brown Company, will make it easier for heritage structures in the Hydraulics to seek designation on the National Register of Historic Places and to take advantage of lucrative national and state incentives that can make projects happen.

“It definitely can help owners or potential owners apply for tax credits,” says Walkowski. “It’s a big support for the neighborhood. This will prove to be useful to the new development planned and will enable the rehab of the historic buildings in the neighborhood.” The next step, according to Walkowski, is a polishing-up of the state application for review by the National Parks Service, a process that’s likely to take another three to four months. It’s almost there. It is big news indeed!
