CASA BLOC, an international reference of rationalist architecture designed by GATCPAC (Sert, Torres Clavé and Subirana), was the first social housing built in Spain in the 1930s. But the CASA BLOC project was interrupted by the Civil War and ended up as a residence for widows and orphans of the Civil Guard, which remained active until 2015. Currently, Hàbitat3, a foundation that manages social housing is carrying out the rehabilitation of part of the building to recover the original spirit and turn it into a shelter for people at risk of social exclusion.
Arquitectura y diseño
Patricia Tamayo y Albert Badia, cineastas que han llegado al mundo del documental desde la psicología y el pensamiento, recuperan uno de los proyectos más innovadores que Josep Lluís Sert firmó, junto a Josep Torres Clavé y Joan Baptista Subirana, como miembro del GATCPAC. Casa Bloc, el conjunto residencial construido en el popular barrio de Sant Andreu entre 1932 y 1936, cobra nueva vida en un arco temporal que va de los testimonios de su inicial, y revolucionaria, apuesta por dignificar las viviendas de las clases obreras a la rehabilitación, proyectada entre 2020 y 2021 por la Fundació Hàbitat3, con la que se impulsó la transformación de 17 viviendas para alojar a personas en situación de emergencia social.

00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:16.520
We were interested in low-rent housing,
the social problems,
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:20.400
that the city would have
social centers
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:25.360
and for Barcelona to transform
towards a new movement.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.520
Discovering Corbusier's books in Paris
encouraged us even more
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.840
and we founded a group,
we would meet at the café or wherever,
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.120
to conspire and to say:
"we must change things".
00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:49.880
Designed by GATCPAC
in the 1930s,
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:51.920
from the precepts
of the II Spanish Republic,
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.320
the five blocks and 200 duplex apartments
of Casa Bloc represent
00:02:54.480 --> 00:02:57.760
the first social housing construction
for the state's working class.
00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:00.760
Casa Bloc is one of few examples
of rationalism in housing in Catalonia.
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.040
With the defeat of the II Republic,
at the end of the Civil War,
00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:10.200
the nationalist side distorted
the social housing of the building.
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.440
Block 5 becomes a residence
for army widows and orphans.
00:03:34.880 --> 00:03:37.240
The summer of 2020
rehabilitation work starts
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.160
on the first two floors
of the block
00:03:39.320 --> 00:03:41.440
to redo the already
abandoned residences,
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.200
into 17 homes for people
at risk of social exclusion.
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.000
Yes, he's expressive.
00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:49.800
In this reportage it will become clear
what era it was.
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:35.480
I don't know,
the original goal or maybe ours?
00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:38.640
Whatever you think is most interesting
to transmit.
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:39.480
Okay.
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.520
Bearing in mind that this block
is a landmark.
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.520
So what we keep,
what we change...
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.760
And the initial project, shall we explain
anything? It's by Sert, from 1933...
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.240
You explain,
and even if we don't use it,
00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:56.560
we will use it to contextualize
our piece.
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.320
Has anyone else come?
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:09.040
This is a GATCPAC project,
00:05:09.200 --> 00:05:12.200
which was a group
of very emblematic architects
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.280
formed partly by
Sert, Torres Clavé and Subirana,
00:05:16.440 --> 00:05:18.040
who developed this project.
00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:21.480
The work begins in the year 1934.
00:05:21.640 --> 00:05:27.280
What happens is that with the outbreak
of the Civil War it stops
00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:31.280
and is finalized in the hands
of the military.
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:36.120
This part is the only part in which
the duplex typology is not preserved,
00:05:36.280 --> 00:05:39.120
which is exemplary of this block.
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:42.640
This is because the military
converted it in the year 1940
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:47.480
into a residence
for army widows.
00:05:47.640 --> 00:05:52.320
The only exception is a storage room
on the corner of the building
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.600
as it maintains one
of the staircases of the original duplex,
00:05:56.760 --> 00:06:01.400
we've tried to preserve it
and adapt our project to it
00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:05.080
to keep the spirit
of the original duplex.
00:06:08.640 --> 00:06:11.720
-All good?
-Okay, yes. Thank you.
00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:15.520
Although you've recorded
00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:20.880
his walkway explanation,
it's seen better from the other side.
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.160
We haven't done photos, right?
00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:44.320
Have you taken any photos?
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.520
Yes? Okay.
00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:47.720
And videos, huh?
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:55.440
Photos for the camera people
and everything else has been done?
00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:09.200
Let's go down.
00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:36.320
We now can see what we wanted to see,
yes, yes.
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.040
Yes, we are looking at the ceiling.
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:08.400
Will we have to remove it all?
00:08:08.520 --> 00:08:10.640
I'm not sure,
it's just that downstairs...
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.720
Downstairs we are seeing
00:08:12.880 --> 00:08:15.440
that the common areas
can go without a roof.
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.160
I say this because below there are...
00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:20.480
Yes, it will be more noticeable,
for sure.
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.560
I would keep this one,
see if we can...
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:24.920
-Both, right?
- Yes both.
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:27.360
-These are the same, right?
-Yes.
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.080
Doorknobs have to change...
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:34.480
-Where were you?
-In here, no? The one before?
00:08:37.560 --> 00:08:38.680
-This one, yes.
-Okay.
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.840
This window has to be knocked down
and I'd preserve it, that's not of...
00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:45.200
Yes, this one's glass.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.240
Here is where the door goes actually.
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:57.680
We'll continue on the second floor, right?
00:11:00.760 --> 00:11:02.840
Except the marked ones, on the floor.
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:05.800
And then we'll continue down.
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.160
All of it?
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:26.760
-Chuck it all.
-Like upstairs?
00:11:26.920 --> 00:11:29.400
-Like upstairs, okay?
-From here, all of it.
00:11:29.520 --> 00:11:31.200
From here to there,
all of it out.
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.480
We leave all these
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.640
and if any are left,
we throw them out at the end, all of it.
00:11:35.800 --> 00:11:38.040
First we'd take off
the rune from above...
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:38.880
Yes...
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.640
-Do we keep chucking things or don't...?
-Yes, I would like...
00:11:42.800 --> 00:11:44.320
I want to take off the rune.
00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:51.160
Which partitions are single
and which double,
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.480
to see where we delay
and where we don't.
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.920
When... we start to see things clearer
on this floor,
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.280
we grab the plans and...
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.560
-There'll be some demolition work here.
-There's one week left.
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:10.240
Of course, one week, right? Today's
Tuesday, right? We start Wednesday.
00:14:10.400 --> 00:14:14.880
It's always the same with us,
we want to run ahead.
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.120
No, it's okay.
00:14:16.280 --> 00:14:20.320
I'm counting on,
more a less, the month and a bit...
00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:26.160
We thought it couldn't be preserved
because it doesn't fit, but...
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.400
Suddenly 17 homes arrive
and therefore there will be
00:15:20.520 --> 00:15:23.560
about 25 to 30 people
who'll be able to come and live here,
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:27.440
the homeless,
people with learning disabilities,
00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:30.360
people at risk
of social exclusion.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.800
And living in a landmarked building,
Casa Bloc of Sant Andreu,
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:36.800
founded 90 years ago
for social housing.
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.520
It was a revolutionary project
which the Second Republic
00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:43.440
commissioned a team of innovative
architects, the GATCPAC.
00:15:43.560 --> 00:15:46.600
The challenge was to build
a large development of 207 homes
00:15:46.760 --> 00:15:50.520
for the workers who lived piled up
in unhealthy barracks or homes
00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:52.480
and to restore their dignity.
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.920
The work, almost finished,
was halted during the Civil War,
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.440
and instead of the workers,
the flats in 1940
00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:01.080
were allocated eventually
to military, police
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.280
and the personnel at their service.
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.040
Leticia Marcos, TV3, Barcelona.
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.520
We mark that one there.
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.040
You go there, let's see how it is.
00:17:26.040 --> 00:17:29.200
What is the minimum thickness
you'd need to comply with?
00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:35.160
OK, if we can make it to 15,
then fantastic.
00:17:35.320 --> 00:17:38.800
But first, let's look at the minimum
we have, to know...
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:41.720
-In other words, at least one sixty.
-Minimum...
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.080
It's as if measuring
the width of the room.
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:47.280
In other words, fires, will comply,
because they are on site.
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:51.520
The biggest mess is the noise,
it won't comply with anything.
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.560
One sixty is the minimum.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.000
One twenty-three,
because this one's got the screw.
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:08.920
So, it would come here,
right?
00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:10.680
Exactly,
and make reference here.
00:18:10.840 --> 00:18:14.280
And here it would be necessary
to make a radius of seventy
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.320
and where the radius cuts with this one...
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:20.920
-Okay.
-Here would be that corner there.
00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:24.200
-Yes.
-Let's see, have a look, check it.
00:18:24.360 --> 00:18:25.720
Because it's one...
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.880
-Here we'd have the two-sixty.
-Inside.
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.040
Spot on.
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:33.000
Spot on.
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:36.040
Of course, the thing is knowing
where we prioritize.
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.520
Do we prioritize the corridor,
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:40.160
the living room or bathroom.
00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:41.880
Here we have to make one fifty.
00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:44.480
In the end,
he'll prioritize the round one.
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:46.280
Yes, they are all circles.
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.400
That's why I'll head that way.
00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:09.640
This was the original service core.
00:22:09.800 --> 00:22:13.520
This partition here needs
to be looked at.
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:15.040
Alright.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.520
You'd come in this way,
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:21.080
And in here was the bathroom
or the kitchen?
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.520
-This was...
-The kitchen.
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:24.440
Because it has a big window.
00:22:24.560 --> 00:22:26.800
And this was the bathroom,
which is smaller.
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:29.480
-And the bathroom was split?
-Here you can see.
00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.240
In other words,
it was up to here.
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.080
All that part,
00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:37.360
was split in half
by this partition.
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:38.320
Why?
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:44.360
This partition separated the laundry room
from the bathroom.
00:22:45.080 --> 00:22:49.720
So here what they did was take the cork
right up to the top of the terrace.
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.040
-Maybe even...
-A little more.
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.360
A little less, I think.
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.000
-Less?
-Yes.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.000
And it looks like the cork comes down
all over the facade,
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.080
at this height,
there is still cork.
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.400
And this one.
00:23:03.520 --> 00:23:07.320
I think the full facade,
and the same downstairs.
00:23:08.520 --> 00:23:10.920
And the other facades too?
00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:12.920
That facade too, yes.
00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:15.080
The original ones go like this.
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.040
The ones like this are the military ones,
right?
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.160
The ones they made for...
00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:23.600
Where this crack here ends,
the staircase would begin.
00:23:23.760 --> 00:23:25.200
-Yeah.
-Covered up this way.
00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:26.480
Okay, okay, okay.
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.480
Of course, there you can see the stages
of the life of...
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.480
Therefore, in the future,
we will have another intervention.
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:36.520
Two other walls covered.
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.600
I don't know if out front it's all good
or going badly, but...
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.440
They've been transforming
for months a part that was
00:27:18.560 --> 00:27:22.200
the old residence of Casa Bloc
into social homing rentals.
00:27:22.360 --> 00:27:24.400
Hoping to finish
beginning of the year
00:27:24.520 --> 00:27:27.480
so vulnerable people
can occupy them.
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.600
They'll live in
a landmarked building,
00:27:29.760 --> 00:27:32.480
founded 90 years ago
as social housing.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.480
It really is a very large building
for that time
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:39.280
and it has a contrast
to the little traditional houses
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.920
officially protected from that time.
00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:43.600
One of the proposals made
00:27:43.760 --> 00:27:46.040
is that the entire house be exterior,
00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:48.480
that all the flats have
a front and back.
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.400
It's an idea with perspective.
00:27:50.520 --> 00:27:53.200
Many people from that time
with little resources
00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:56.480
lived in dark spaces
and poorly equipped.
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.480
On the other hand each block
is oriented differently
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.560
to better capture solar radiation,
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:05.720
and porches were designed so neighbors
would share their day-to-day life.
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.840
Leticia Marcos, TV3, Barcelona.
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.160
The person with disabilities,
as they're at the front,
00:28:45.320 --> 00:28:46.720
they won't circulate here,
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.640
only if they go see a friend,
for example, who lives in another flat.
00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:56.040
Those of Patrimony should have
accepted a sliding window.
00:28:56.520 --> 00:28:58.080
Yeah, but that's doing...
00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:01.360
A sliding window that way
and kept open.
00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:03.320
That is a sacrilege.
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:04.720
Well.
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:06.560
For common sense,
this is the way.
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:08.280
For common sense
it's this way.
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:10.480
That's all outside.
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:15.360
Well, also depending on the slope
we give it, but...
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.560
And the other doors?
Out of curiosity.
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.680
-It won't show.
-There was the pavement coming in...
00:32:07.520 --> 00:32:10.760
There are other dwellings
for social entities,
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.920
for young people,
persons with disabilities.
00:32:14.120 --> 00:32:16.280
We believe they're very
positive models
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:20.440
because of the mix of collectives
that allows the social inclusion
00:32:20.560 --> 00:32:23.760
and avoids exclusion and ghettoization.
00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:28.480
This building is in Sant Andreu,
an important neighborhood in Barcelona,
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.200
very dynamic, and for the people
it's something very positive,
00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:35.560
and not only them,
but for the rest of the citizens,
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:40.040
who have as neighbors these people
with perhaps problems
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.600
and total standardization is given,
00:32:42.760 --> 00:32:44.760
it's a matter
of being aware of the city,
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:47.040
to create a diverse
and inclusive city.
00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:31.520
No, because I have on the 28th
00:34:31.680 --> 00:34:35.560
the one from the housing agency,
who is the one who certifies it,
00:34:35.720 --> 00:34:37.760
which in this case it's not certified,
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.200
because it qualifies
as subsidized housing,
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:46.120
And on Friday 29th with the District,
is the first occupancy.
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:50.680
And then... So,
the 28th for sure no, and the 29th?
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.480
Well, I might still be finishing
the last three bells,
00:34:53.640 --> 00:34:56.080
your choice,
if it doesn't affect you...
00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:57.880
If they see it,
it will affect us,
00:34:58.080 --> 00:35:01.160
-Say yes to them, or else...
-I'll say for the 1st, right?
00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:49.640
Yes, this is what they put then.
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.080
This is original and they did it this way.
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:56.320
Yes?
00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:10.000
Careful.
00:38:17.160 --> 00:38:21.360
So beds, we thought, as you're going
to live alone, a bigger bed.
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:22.440
Okay.
00:38:22.560 --> 00:38:24.560
-No?
-Yes, of course.
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:27.520
-Yes? Can we order it?
-Yes, of course, of course.
00:38:27.680 --> 00:38:30.000
-I won't always be alone.
-The wardrobe...
00:38:30.160 --> 00:38:32.480
No, that's why we asked
for a bigger bed.
00:38:58.080 --> 00:39:01.080
-What's the name of this street?
-It's called Residència.
00:39:02.120 --> 00:39:03.680
Number 10, Residència.
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:06.360
-I should have imagined that.
-Of course.
00:39:06.520 --> 00:39:09.000
-Do you see yourself living here?
-Where do I sign?
00:39:09.160 --> 00:39:10.320
That's with Esther.
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:12.240
With Esther next week.
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:14.640
Until next week we can't sign,
they're finishing...
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.080
-I'll have it.
-You'll have it?
00:39:21.600 --> 00:39:24.600
-This is for us to hang out in the summer.
-For the summer.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:30.000
I don't know if we are allowed,
but oh well.
00:39:31.160 --> 00:39:32.760
Are there more people there?
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:41.680
There are two homes
which have two,
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:44.920
the living room and a bedroom
which has a terrace,
00:39:45.120 --> 00:39:49.320
and two homes that only have
one bedroom with a terrace
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:51.000
and the other room
is interior.
00:39:51.160 --> 00:39:53.240
That's the difference, alright?
00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:56.880
Manel, he'd already had a look...
00:39:57.080 --> 00:40:00.040
Yes, I'd picked the fourth door
on the first floor.
00:40:00.520 --> 00:40:03.320
Well, for the distribution
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:08.640
and because I've seen it more coherent
to what I see myself needing.
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.720
Perfect, Manel.
00:40:10.200 --> 00:40:12.200
Who else? Emilia.
00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:15.280
You'd go as a couple with...?
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:16.400
What did you think?
00:40:16.520 --> 00:40:19.640
All good for me, because everything is
really bad where I live,
00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:21.680
bad people...
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.640
Where I live I'm not well.
00:40:25.560 --> 00:40:27.160
I see things,
but I can't tell.
00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:29.920
Could you tell us
which flat you've chosen.
00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:35.840
-In the fourth one, right?
-No, the first one. The one further down.
00:40:36.040 --> 00:40:37.360
-The first.
-The first.
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:39.720
Emilia...
00:40:40.120 --> 00:40:41.760
-One question.
-Tell me, Emilia.
00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:45.480
I have... I have little animals.
00:40:46.080 --> 00:40:48.480
We were told
on rules for coexistence
00:40:48.640 --> 00:40:50.520
big dogs or things like that...
00:40:50.680 --> 00:40:52.360
No, no, not dogs.
I have cages.
00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:53.680
If hamsters, bring them,
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:56.240
I have two hamsters and a little bird.
00:40:56.400 --> 00:40:58.440
-Bring them. What do you think?
-Okay.
00:40:58.560 --> 00:41:00.360
They'll be very welcomed.
00:41:00.600 --> 00:41:03.200
My children, newbies together.
00:41:13.080 --> 00:41:18.160
Take out some boxes
and put things on the shelves.
00:41:18.720 --> 00:41:20.400
Then we can film him.
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:32.080
Alicia Dolores Mannise Cabrera.
00:41:33.080 --> 00:41:35.880
Alright, Alicia Dolores,
and as a surname?
00:41:36.080 --> 00:41:37.240
Mannise Cabrera.
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:40.000
Mannise, I'll make a note
so I don't misspell it.
00:41:40.160 --> 00:41:42.520
-Mannise, Mannise.
-With a double N and S.
00:41:42.680 --> 00:41:44.840
-Okay.
-Ignacio Antonio of Notaro Yul.
00:41:45.040 --> 00:41:47.000
-Ignacio?
-Antonio of Notaro...
00:41:47.160 --> 00:41:49.560
-Of Notaro.
-Yul.
00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.160
Alright,
before starting at the beginning,
00:41:53.320 --> 00:41:54.520
how do you feel?
00:41:54.680 --> 00:41:56.440
Very happy.
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.480
Very happy because...
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:05.080
from here we'll go to the cemetery,
nowhere else.
00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:10.320
I'm 74 years old
and I hope to be here my whole life.
00:42:10.480 --> 00:42:12.600
No more moving.
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:14.480
We had to close our bar.
00:42:14.640 --> 00:42:17.880
And I was left with an allowance
nothing more than 450 euros.
00:42:18.080 --> 00:42:21.880
How could I pay the rent, the electricity,
the water, the self-employed?
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.800
It was impossible, impossible.
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.840
-So, our lives took a turn, right?
-Yes, it took a turn.
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:32.680
And now, it took another turn,
but in our favor.
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:37.800
Thank God,
I think we'll call it quits here.
00:42:38.160 --> 00:42:40.640
One last memory of the two of you.
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:41.880
The keys and done.
00:42:42.080 --> 00:42:45.600
-And start a new life.
-A new life, if God's will.
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.560
Well, that's it.
They're starting a new life.
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:53.400
Truth be told, very good.
00:42:57.680 --> 00:42:59.640
A miracle.
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.680
Yes, because we had nothing.
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:02.520
I'm going, honey.
00:43:02.680 --> 00:43:05.120
-Call me?
-Okay. See you later.
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:07.440
-See you later.
-Don't get lost.
00:43:07.680 --> 00:43:10.360
Yesterday he got lost for three hours.
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:12.760
He passed here three times.
00:43:56.920 --> 00:44:00.200
You're in the best flat, eh?
No other flat has this light.
00:44:00.720 --> 00:44:03.600
I have to take advantage
of all this space.
00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:05.760
In other words, it's the largest.
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:09.320
Apart from having more facade,
which has more light.
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.240
The other one had this, there,
on the other side.
00:44:13.600 --> 00:44:19.640
Well, yes, there is a lot of light.
I told the neighbors to help me here.
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:21.640
There were some previous references,
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:25.200
but there were very few
metal-framed buildings like this one.
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:28.000
It wasn't conventional.
00:44:28.160 --> 00:44:29.480
It used to be made of brick
00:44:29.640 --> 00:44:33.920
and maybe the forged was made
of metal, meaning, the main structure.
00:44:34.120 --> 00:44:38.080
But the building itself
is very new.
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:44.600
This group of architects
made innovative projects
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.400
because technologically
they're also very innovative.
00:44:47.520 --> 00:44:51.280
This wall is insulated,
despite being from the 1930s.
00:44:51.880 --> 00:44:54.760
-This is...
-It's cork inside, it has a cork plate.
00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:01.120
And the roofs of the terraces
and the walkways
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:04.320
are also covered with cork
on the inside.
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.840
It's like the whole building
has a cork skin
00:45:07.040 --> 00:45:11.200
that works as an insulator,
which is very new.
00:45:11.520 --> 00:45:14.520
-You can see here, here for example...
-It looks like a ruin.
00:45:14.680 --> 00:45:17.560
Yes, but this staircase
has been conserved.
00:45:17.720 --> 00:45:19.600
It's the only one conserved.
00:45:20.080 --> 00:45:24.400
Because of the intervention made
by the military,
00:45:24.520 --> 00:45:26.080
they left three staircases.
00:45:26.240 --> 00:45:29.120
So this one we managed to conserve
00:45:29.560 --> 00:45:32.800
and this is the only home
which works as a duplex.
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:35.640
Which is right on
the other side of the block.
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.040
Yes, we'll meet soon.
00:45:58.200 --> 00:46:02.680
The girl, Alicia, had some headaches.
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:06.720
Her mother was worried.
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:07.760
Is it serious?
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.560
Yes, they're going to see a neurologist.
00:46:28.080 --> 00:46:30.480
-Good morning!
-Finally you appeared, huh?
00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:33.320
Aren't you greeting me today?
Ah, she's caught up!
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:36.160
The most beautiful assistant in the world.
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.280
Oh my.
I might believe it myself, huh?
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:40.320
I'll really believe it.
00:46:40.520 --> 00:46:42.480
It's called an escape to the beach.
00:46:42.600 --> 00:46:45.160
Almost, almost,
not anymore, not anymore.
00:46:45.520 --> 00:46:46.520
Hey, Benji!
00:46:46.680 --> 00:46:48.160
Well, let's see
what you have.
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.280
Let's see, few things...
00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.120
Date of Birth.
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:55.240
The 28th of November 1946.
00:46:57.640 --> 00:47:00.800
-Place? Uruguay, right?
-Uruguay, Montevideo, yes.
00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:03.400
Montevideo, you look beautiful.
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.640
Ah, this is the marriage thing
which they asked for the last time...
00:47:08.560 --> 00:47:10.080
This one? No.
00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:13.200
It's that one but filled in.
00:47:14.160 --> 00:47:15.840
And you fill this one in for us?
00:47:16.040 --> 00:47:19.600
-No. This is the one you sent me.
-It's all so complicated, right?
00:47:19.760 --> 00:47:21.880
Yes, very complicated.
00:47:22.080 --> 00:47:25.120
To renew a document,
I can't understand...
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:28.560
I know, it's rather long,
I don't know why...
00:47:29.040 --> 00:47:30.280
Here are the downloads.
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:36.120
Sure, but no... They're numbers.
How do I know...
00:47:42.040 --> 00:47:43.640
which one is which...
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.280
I feel bad having to open them...
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:48.880
No, love, I'll look for it.
00:47:49.080 --> 00:47:51.680
Ignacio, very good,
on the first try!
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.040
-You see? You see?
-All right! Take that!
00:47:54.200 --> 00:47:55.640
All right!
00:47:55.880 --> 00:47:58.800
-If only... If only...
-If it weren't for me...
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:03.160
That's why I married him,
because he's a very cautious man.
00:48:03.320 --> 00:48:05.480
And look, we've written
something wrong.
00:48:05.600 --> 00:48:06.600
You see?
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:11.520
That's not your passport number.
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:12.880
It isn't?
00:48:14.080 --> 00:48:15.080
Bring the passport.
00:48:15.240 --> 00:48:18.840
No, it's D331255
00:48:19.600 --> 00:48:20.840
and the foreigner ID.
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:23.520
Oh my goodness.
00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:28.040
Well, it's alright, it's fine.
This can be fixed.
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:30.240
Do you see? This one's mine.
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:34.040
Ah, of course,
but she needs hers.
00:48:34.200 --> 00:48:36.000
But she's an immigrant.
00:48:36.160 --> 00:48:38.600
Oh, poor thing!
Don't say that to her.
00:48:40.080 --> 00:48:42.040
With great honor.
00:49:12.680 --> 00:49:13.920
Stay still.
00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:30.480
He's afraid right now.
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:33.680
Now, Joaquima,
the window must be closed.
00:49:33.840 --> 00:49:35.360
-What?
-Close it.
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:37.320
In case it escapes or something...
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.720
The window and the door.
Yes, yes.
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:17.680
I herd, the Legion were here before.
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:19.880
Yes, well, they were there.
00:50:20.080 --> 00:50:21.480
Widows or single women...
00:50:21.600 --> 00:50:24.600
-We die sooner than women.
-Of course, yes, yes.
00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.800
And this gentleman was 98 years old
and he lived alone.
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:31.600
-The flat looks great, huh?
-Yes.
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:34.480
Yes, he died two years ago.
00:50:34.640 --> 00:50:36.040
There aren't many
like this.
00:50:36.200 --> 00:50:37.480
It's very modern this.
00:50:37.640 --> 00:50:38.720
For the time...
00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:41.640
And unfortunately,
when the Civil War ended,
00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:44.160
this way wasn't repeated.
00:50:44.520 --> 00:50:45.920
It was done differently.
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:48.520
-It's that one.
-A little different.
00:50:48.680 --> 00:50:49.680
Well, the corridor.
00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:52.240
I don't know,
because I haven't seen it,
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.800
but I think this is the bedroom
and this is the dinning room.
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:58.440
-The bedroom must be upstairs.
-Upstairs.
00:50:58.560 --> 00:50:59.800
Yes, upstairs.
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:06.680
These are where
the neighbors live now.
00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.640
This one I think
is in this area here.
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:14.520
Come on, come on.
00:51:14.680 --> 00:51:16.200
Wait.
00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:18.120
I'm vaccinated twice.
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:19.800
-Come on.
-Photo...
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:22.480
Let's go.
00:51:37.200 --> 00:51:39.200
Do you see there are various options?
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:43.080
This is the one we've seen,
the one in the middle.
00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:47.280
And it's highlighting the Ronda Litoral.
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:50.360
The other one is the Ronda of Dalt,
the one we mentioned.
00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:54.160
Then we choose it,
press the middle one
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:56.320
and it's selected.
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.320
We got to Start.
00:52:01.240 --> 00:52:03.480
And here you can see...
00:52:05.600 --> 00:52:10.240
You see the streets, your house,
it gives you the option...
00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:14.840
Here you are,
we are here right now.
00:52:16.440 --> 00:52:21.520
What happens? Because the root
runs through Barcelona,
00:52:22.080 --> 00:52:23.520
we take longer.
00:52:23.680 --> 00:52:27.160
-You'll take longer...
-Than taking the Ronda.
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:28.800
Exactly, it's the only thing.
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.400
But for now,
what we said,
00:52:31.520 --> 00:52:34.880
it's okay,
you're in no rush to arrive.
00:52:35.080 --> 00:52:36.720
No, this...
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:40.840
The idea of not taking the Ronda
00:52:41.040 --> 00:52:44.000
is because for a while now
I don't use the scooter
00:52:44.160 --> 00:52:49.320
and I know myself,
I press the accelerator and...
00:52:49.640 --> 00:52:52.440
I know about the roundabouts
and which are the fastest,
00:52:52.560 --> 00:52:53.560
comfort and so on.
00:52:53.720 --> 00:52:55.800
Yes, there're trucks,
delivery guys, suicidals...
00:52:56.000 --> 00:52:57.920
And I don't want to commit suicide.
00:52:58.120 --> 00:52:59.280
No problem.
00:52:59.440 --> 00:53:01.760
There are alternatives
to avoid roundabouts,
00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:03.480
that's why we are looking.
00:53:03.640 --> 00:53:06.520
So you can go calmly
and feel safe.
00:53:06.680 --> 00:53:10.600
...researcher at the University
of Rovira and Virgili. Evening, Àlex.
00:53:11.240 --> 00:53:13.120
-Good Evening.
-Thanks for answering.
00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.560
The infection rate
has once again exceeded one.
00:53:16.720 --> 00:53:19.360
After a month and a half,
yesterday it stood at 0.94,
00:53:19.480 --> 00:53:21.560
out of every 100 people,
they'll become infected,
00:53:21.720 --> 00:53:26.560
by the modifications
of this increase over one...
00:53:26.720 --> 00:53:29.920
... it's recommended
but is not being applied.
00:53:30.120 --> 00:53:34.280
The education
has become a problem...
00:53:39.080 --> 00:53:40.920
What we would have to do first
00:53:41.120 --> 00:53:47.000
is a little of,
taking the leaves and making a pile here.
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:51.040
Okay? Joaquima,
you can start on the other side.
00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:54.200
Joaquima. Good.
00:53:55.080 --> 00:53:56.560
You're doing great.
00:53:57.560 --> 00:53:58.560
Let's go.
00:54:03.640 --> 00:54:05.520
Okay, look, Joaquima,
00:54:06.040 --> 00:54:09.560
leave this pile here
and let's go over there. Come.
00:54:10.720 --> 00:54:13.160
This way, this way.
No, no, no. Take it
00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:14.600
-I take it?
-Yes.
00:54:14.760 --> 00:54:19.680
Because if not, you'll cross each other
and we don't have space, okay?
00:54:21.120 --> 00:54:23.560
Well you start a little one here, okay?
00:54:23.720 --> 00:54:27.280
I'll collect here a little, alright?
00:54:29.080 --> 00:54:30.880
Okay, great, Emilia.
00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:32.360
Go for it, go for it.
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:43.240
-We'll leave this part now.
-I've never done it.
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:45.480
Well, you're doing great.
00:54:45.600 --> 00:54:48.000
-It's the first time I've done this.
-Good.
00:54:48.160 --> 00:54:50.280
Look, let's go this way.
Come, Joaquima.
00:54:54.080 --> 00:54:56.240
Emilia, when you can,
00:54:56.400 --> 00:55:00.280
pass over here a little more,
there are two that haven't been watered.
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:01.680
Wait, wait!
00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:12.600
-Use the hose here.
-This one?
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:15.720
-No, no, the one with the flowers.
-These two?
00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:18.240
You said a pair.
A pair is two.
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:19.920
Have you seen
the piles we made?
00:55:20.120 --> 00:55:22.840
-No, it won't work.
-I'll go and find another.
00:55:24.680 --> 00:55:27.000
Now here, so that it reaches...
00:55:27.160 --> 00:55:30.000
-There, point over there, you see?
-Yes.
00:55:30.160 --> 00:55:34.680
Here, you see?
So that it has more pressure.
00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:37.720
-Okay.
-No.
00:55:40.040 --> 00:55:41.800
-Okay.
-We got wet.
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:44.360
Yes, we've got a little wet.
It's not a problem.
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:10.600
It seems we have more light
on this side.
00:56:58.240 --> 00:57:02.120
When it comes to common spaces:
corridors, where the elevator is,
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:04.720
this arbor you have here...
00:57:05.080 --> 00:57:07.560
You cannot leave any objects.
00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:11.320
At most the mat,
but not a bike or not this, huh?
00:57:12.080 --> 00:57:14.560
If it's rubbish, okay,
you'll take it down later.
00:57:14.720 --> 00:57:17.480
About this I wanted
to comment on something.
00:57:17.600 --> 00:57:21.160
Our entrance is ours,
but it's not ours...
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:24.360
It's just that, sometimes,
without realizing, it's night time
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:27.200
and instead of going out onto
my balcony,
00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:30.800
from here I can see the stars better
than from the other side.
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:32.600
-Of course.
-Don't ask me why.
00:57:32.760 --> 00:57:35.000
What I'm trying to say is,
that it is our space,
00:57:35.160 --> 00:57:36.920
even if it's not connected
to our home,
00:57:37.120 --> 00:57:41.480
but it's ours, because you step out
and it's the first thing you see.
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:45.560
But I understand everyone has their way
of doing things.
00:57:45.720 --> 00:57:49.600
and it would be good
to change this dynamic.
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:52.160
-I think it's a good idea.
-I agree.
00:57:55.000 --> 00:57:55.840
Exactly.
00:57:56.040 --> 00:57:58.160
We are happy you're happy
00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:01.720
and that you feel happy here.
00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:03.600
-I'm splendid here.
-You're good?
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.440
I'm happy here.
I wasn't where I was, eh?
00:58:06.560 --> 00:58:08.840
-No, that's why.
-Calmer here.
00:58:09.040 --> 00:58:11.440
You have to enjoy.
When you have a good thing.
00:58:11.560 --> 00:58:14.480
-A pension is not...
-No, no. It's not somewhere to live.
00:58:14.600 --> 00:58:16.200
You can live there some time,
but not too long.
00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:18.520
I was there fourteen years,
and working.
00:58:18.680 --> 00:58:21.480
That's not a place to live in.
00:58:21.640 --> 00:58:23.080
And people had me like this.
00:58:23.440 --> 00:58:26.880
-Thank you.
-To you for coming.
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:29.000
Well, if you like,
this is for you.
00:58:29.160 --> 00:58:30.520
Yes, yes, a copy for you.
00:58:30.680 --> 00:58:35.800
Manel, should there be anything,
00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:38.840
there's also the possibility,
in case you don't find us,
00:58:39.040 --> 00:58:41.080
-writing us an email...
-Good.
00:58:41.240 --> 00:58:43.680
-Okay? But if not...
-No, no. Yes, yes.
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:46.000
Very well,
so we've all met each other now.
00:58:46.160 --> 00:58:47.880
-How do we go up?
-Tell me?
00:58:48.080 --> 00:58:51.040
-How do we go up?
-Let's see, how do we go up?
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:54.600
-I don't know...
-I never come down, almost...
00:58:55.200 --> 00:58:58.200
You leave that way.
Yes, wait, I'll open for you.
00:58:58.520 --> 00:59:00.560
Very good.
Careful with the plants, eh?
00:59:00.720 --> 00:59:04.480
-A little pool would be great here, eh?
-Come on! A swimming pool.
00:59:04.600 --> 00:59:07.440
I love it,
because if not use the space for...
00:59:07.560 --> 00:59:09.520
And they want a swimming pool.
00:59:09.680 --> 00:59:11.640
Good for trying, Emilia...
00:59:12.480 --> 00:59:18.560
We go for a walk with the women
of Sant Martí on Mondays,
00:59:18.720 --> 00:59:23.080
and on Sundays with the women
of the tenants' union.
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:25.840
-We have a group...
-Very good.
00:59:26.040 --> 00:59:30.480
Yes, we have a group
and we go out on Sundays.
00:59:32.040 --> 00:59:34.240
And how long do you walk, and hour?
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:36.480
One hour, because I can't...
00:59:36.600 --> 00:59:41.480
Because I have a bad leg,
I can't anymore than an hour.
00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:44.760
And do you have plans for the summer?
00:59:46.400 --> 00:59:47.680
I'm not sure.
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:51.720
I'd like to go see my kids,
but I don't have the money.
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:56.400
Yes, if I could,
I'd go to my country, yes.
00:59:56.520 --> 01:00:02.000
My friend wants us to go...
What's the name?
01:00:02.640 --> 01:00:04.040
To the Costa Brava.
01:00:04.560 --> 01:00:07.800
But I don't think I can go this year.
01:00:09.080 --> 01:00:11.440
You seem to have fixed
the TV antenna, right?
01:00:11.560 --> 01:00:12.120
-See.
-Yes.
01:00:12.280 --> 01:00:14.520
He got onto it one day
and tidied it.
01:00:14.680 --> 01:00:17.680
I told him,
"don't do it sloppily."
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:20.160
I was on the floor.
01:00:20.520 --> 01:00:22.920
-Anyone who passed...
-Would trip up.
01:00:24.120 --> 01:00:25.400
-Benji, come.
-Leave him.
01:00:25.520 --> 01:00:27.480
-Come, come.
-Leave him, he's fine.
01:00:28.040 --> 01:00:30.680
And we would step on the cable.
01:00:31.240 --> 01:00:33.760
And I went to the Chinese shop,
I bought all that...
01:00:34.560 --> 01:00:38.480
You don't have to hang anything up, huh?
It's stuck on.
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:41.680
And look how hard and it's on strongly.
01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:42.800
That's very good.
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:47.040
If after, you want to take it down,
it'll ripe off the paint and the rest.
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:51.400
-I'll do it this way... And that's done.
-He did it neatly, yes.
01:00:51.520 --> 01:00:55.040
Careful the Patrimony doesn't come
to tell you off.
01:00:56.760 --> 01:00:59.360
It was a lot of stress,
a big scare.
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:01.640
I'm not used to being like this.
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:04.560
We had never been evicted before.
01:01:04.720 --> 01:01:07.160
We saw it on TV,
we saw it in commentaries,
01:01:07.320 --> 01:01:10.400
but to experience it firsthand,
you don't know what it's like.
01:01:10.520 --> 01:01:12.600
It's insane.
01:01:12.760 --> 01:01:14.880
No, and also, our age.
01:01:15.080 --> 01:01:18.400
Because if it's someone young,
well, he goes out and works.
01:01:18.520 --> 01:01:21.520
Where am I going to go
and look for work at 74 years old?
01:01:21.680 --> 01:01:24.760
I'd tell her: "don't worry".
It ate me up inside, right?
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:26.680
So that Alicia would be okay.
01:01:26.840 --> 01:01:29.520
"Somehow we'll get out of this.
We're not going to stay on the street",
01:01:29.680 --> 01:01:32.720
because we had our assistant,
Patricia, who was an angel.
01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:36.240
"Ignacio, you won't end up on the street,
for sure we'll take you".
01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:37.840
I would cry and she would say:
01:01:38.040 --> 01:01:42.440
"Alicia, don't cry, you're not going
to end up on the street. Stay calm".
01:01:42.560 --> 01:01:45.400
but I wasn't convinced.
01:01:45.520 --> 01:01:47.480
The distress,
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
01:01:48.480 --> 01:01:52.000
Well, we now have a happy ending, honey.
01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.080
And that's it. Now...
01:01:55.160 --> 01:01:56.560
The story ends well.
01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:00.240
-It ends well, yes.
-Yes, thank God.
01:02:10.600 --> 01:02:12.000
We'll take a picture
of the space.
01:02:12.160 --> 01:02:14.600
because this flat is one
of the more symbolic ones.
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:18.120
It's like a premium flat of Casa Bloc.
01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:21.280
Yes, we hit a jackpot.
01:02:21.440 --> 01:02:23.240
Anyway, who's in the upstairs flat?
01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:24.640
-He is.
-It's yours?
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:26.080
-Of course.
-For you?
01:02:26.240 --> 01:02:27.280
-Yes.
-Wow!
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:28.600
Just for himself!
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:32.480
Very nice.
01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:35.600
Another one horizontally...
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:45.920
Perfect.
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:49.200
One more looking...
01:02:49.680 --> 01:02:51.440
Smile both of you.
01:02:53.520 --> 01:02:55.920
We'll do one with a flash and try it out.
01:02:56.120 --> 01:02:57.680
Look at the camera...
01:02:57.840 --> 01:02:59.000
Another.
01:03:17.520 --> 01:03:20.040
Go the the left a little.
01:03:20.360 --> 01:03:24.000
Like this, that's it, a little back
and come forward.
01:03:24.600 --> 01:03:28.240
Towards me, a little more.
There is perfect.
01:03:37.680 --> 01:03:40.120
That look is perfect, this way...
01:03:40.280 --> 01:03:42.480
Look towards the window, please.
01:03:53.720 --> 01:03:55.640
And with the neighbors,
how's it going?
01:03:55.800 --> 01:03:59.040
Good, very chilled,
don't know...
01:03:59.200 --> 01:04:02.320
-Are you getting to know them all?
-More a less.
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:05.240
Which neighbor do you get on well with?
01:04:05.400 --> 01:04:11.360
Well, the one I most see is Emilia.
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:14.080
Will you do an activity together?
01:04:14.240 --> 01:04:16.200
-Not sure, eat snacks?
-Snack hangouts?
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:19.120
-I would say. Of course, because...
-It's a good place.
01:04:19.280 --> 01:04:22.520
Snack hangouts, breakfasts...
I don't know, a lunch.
01:04:22.680 --> 01:04:25.640
It would create a union
between people here.
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:30.640
In the end,
we're all here for the same reason
01:04:30.800 --> 01:04:33.080
and we have to all look out
for each other.
01:04:33.240 --> 01:04:34.320
So much so.
01:04:34.640 --> 01:04:38.120
And if on top of that, as you said,
there is tranquility...
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:40.480
Benji, hello.
01:04:45.520 --> 01:04:48.680
He wants to go over,
but he's so fat he gets stuck there.
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:50.720
He can't.
01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:53.520
Benji, hello.
01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:11.520
Benji needs a diet,
to pass through here.
01:05:11.680 --> 01:05:14.120
-He's still going to fall.
-Look, look, look.
01:05:18.160 --> 01:05:19.800
Come, Benji, come.
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:23.600
My chubby boy.
My little chubbs.
01:05:27.640 --> 01:05:29.840
My goodness, goodness me.
01:05:30.040 --> 01:05:32.360
We have to water them...
Why don't you water them.
01:05:32.480 --> 01:05:33.480
No.
01:05:34.120 --> 01:05:37.240
-When do you water them?
-I don't water plants.
01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:40.160
Oh, my God.
01:05:42.160 --> 01:05:45.640
I don't really like plants.
It looks like a cemetery...
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:48.160
You cook, that's for sure.
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:51.400
There... That's a whole different story.
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.240
But it's lovely to look at the plants.
I like it.
01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:03.480
Well, I like looking at them,
but I don't like watering them.
01:06:09.520 --> 01:06:12.240
And when are you going
to go water the garden?
01:06:12.400 --> 01:06:15.520
I don't know,
whichever day Emilia tells me to.
01:06:16.240 --> 01:06:20.080
-Her name is Emilia?
-One, yes. Not sure about the other.
01:06:21.680 --> 01:06:23.840
-I don't know them.
-They already do.
01:06:25.080 --> 01:06:28.080
-Truthfully I saw they were...
-I never saw them.
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:30.320
Yes, but they go.
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:33.280
I think once a week,
or twice...
01:06:33.680 --> 01:06:35.240
To do the watering?
01:06:37.160 --> 01:06:41.240
To fix and to plant some plants, maybe.
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:45.400
I would put flowering ones.
01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:49.200
Are there irises down there?
I really like irises.
01:06:49.760 --> 01:06:52.320
Yes, but irises are very delicate.
01:06:52.480 --> 01:06:55.360
Well, once a year they flower.
01:06:56.320 --> 01:06:57.680
They are pretty.
01:06:59.080 --> 01:07:03.760
Yes, I only like the iris flower.
01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:42.480
It's true, I didn't ask.
01:07:42.640 --> 01:07:46.760
Have you seen the interview we did
the other day?
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:48.720
I wasn't here.
01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:50.760
From the documentary I told you about.
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:52.360
TVE, right?
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:55.120
No, from BTV.
01:07:56.080 --> 01:07:57.720
-You haven't seen it?
-No.
01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:00.440
-No? You look very handsome in it.
-In it, really?
01:08:00.560 --> 01:08:02.120
-Well I haven't.
-Yes, yes, yes.
01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:04.280
I'll show you later
so you can see it.
01:08:04.440 --> 01:08:06.600
-Ah, I haven't...
-It's very beautiful, yes.
01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:11.480
Explaining how the staircase used to be
01:08:11.640 --> 01:08:14.520
to access where they lived before
and all that.
01:08:14.680 --> 01:08:16.560
-And it explains it?
-Yes.
01:08:16.720 --> 01:08:20.360
-Wow, I hadn't noticed.
-Yes, it's beautiful what we saw, yes.
01:08:20.480 --> 01:08:24.480
It would be great to see it again.
01:08:25.360 --> 01:08:30.600
Of course,
channels have come, right?
01:08:30.760 --> 01:08:36.440
Channel one came to film about
the adaptation process.
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:39.400
I don't know about you,
but I'm very happy.
01:08:39.880 --> 01:08:40.520
Yes.
01:08:40.680 --> 01:08:43.320
I'm so happy and...
01:08:44.080 --> 01:08:49.680
life is different for me now,
in the adaption...
01:08:50.480 --> 01:08:52.320
Did you ring, Mistela?
01:08:52.480 --> 01:08:54.920
But now it does "pip, pip".
01:08:55.200 --> 01:08:56.800
Because I've disconnected it.
01:08:58.120 --> 01:08:59.440
Should I go back down?
01:08:59.840 --> 01:09:00.920
Let's see... strange.
01:09:01.120 --> 01:09:03.360
A lot of the time the buzzer rings.
01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:07.840
I think it's the device.
01:09:08.040 --> 01:09:08.840
Yes.
01:09:09.040 --> 01:09:10.800
Well, Emilia.
I'll take a picture...
01:09:12.440 --> 01:09:15.080
How are you coping these weeks
on your own...?
01:09:15.240 --> 01:09:16.320
-Good.
-Yeah?
01:09:16.480 --> 01:09:19.600
-Are you adapting well?
-I'm not going to mess up the flat.
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.720
-Well, you're comfortable.
-I am.
01:09:21.880 --> 01:09:24.840
Well then what's important
is that you're happy.
01:09:25.040 --> 01:09:27.320
Yes, much calmer,
I'm much calmer, honestly.
01:09:27.480 --> 01:09:28.520
Well then.
01:09:29.800 --> 01:09:32.760
-They're having a little snack hangout.
-Where?
01:09:32.920 --> 01:09:36.200
Here, in the garden, alright?
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:39.520
And various neighbors are coming...
01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:41.280
-From here?
-Yes.
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:43.600
-Okay?
-And do we have to bring anything?
01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:46.200
No. You're being invited.
01:09:47.120 --> 01:09:51.080
So if you fancy it,
you can come down.
01:09:51.240 --> 01:09:52.560
Depending on my mood.
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:56.480
We'll let you know.
But it will be in the afternoon.
01:09:57.120 --> 01:09:59.560
Not very late either, but...
01:10:00.480 --> 01:10:01.680
-Alright?
-Okay, alright.
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:04.840
And this way you all meet as well.
Some neighbors will come.
01:10:05.040 --> 01:10:07.320
-I don't know the ones from upstairs.
-From upstairs?
01:10:07.480 --> 01:10:11.080
Well look, it could be, maybe,
the neighbors also come down.
01:10:11.240 --> 01:10:12.600
-Are you up for it?
-Alright.
01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:15.760
Yes? And then Saturday
you do something different.
01:10:16.320 --> 01:10:18.440
Yes, I think I'll go.
01:10:20.320 --> 01:10:22.480
If there was a BBQ...
01:10:29.760 --> 01:10:31.840
You go in if you want.
01:10:32.680 --> 01:10:34.480
Let's see, shall I help you?
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:40.000
Like this, better? Okay.
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:17.680
They are asking me to do an introduction
outside here with these colors.
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:20.920
Because this,
if you look where you are,
01:11:21.280 --> 01:11:26.080
the colors that your building has
are different from the ones here.
01:11:26.520 --> 01:11:31.200
And so, at that time,
it was considered that light grayish tones
01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.400
and the shades here
which are a little blue-gray
01:11:34.520 --> 01:11:37.480
were the most convenient
for the architecture.
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:41.520
And, therefore,
they painted the house with these colors.
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:43.560
Also, if you have a look,
01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:46.920
everything that is wood
was painted in white.
01:11:47.120 --> 01:11:50.480
It's a broken white,
like the shell of a white egg.
01:11:50.640 --> 01:11:53.840
And what's also interesting,
is the color or tone in color
01:11:54.040 --> 01:11:57.080
that they gave
with this orange look.
01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:02.280
Let's go inside, we'll sit quietly
01:12:02.440 --> 01:12:06.320
and we'll explain
the building as it was before.
01:12:06.520 --> 01:12:08.320
At that time, in the 1930s,
01:12:08.480 --> 01:12:12.160
as we said,
people who lived in poor conditions,
01:12:12.320 --> 01:12:15.800
in unhealthy conditions,
in shantytowns, in dilapidated houses,
01:12:16.000 --> 01:12:18.600
one of the problems was hygiene.
01:12:18.880 --> 01:12:21.880
At the beginning of the century,
with strong determination
01:12:22.080 --> 01:12:26.760
to good hygiene, not only conditioned
the improvement of a person,
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:30.480
but the person's ability
to find himself or herself better,
01:12:30.600 --> 01:12:34.800
work better,
build a healthy family, etc.
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:37.120
Therefore, it was a key piece.
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.120
Hygiene is also visible in the lighting.
01:12:40.280 --> 01:12:43.920
It is very important the light enters
inside the whole house,
01:12:44.440 --> 01:12:46.000
to illuminate the interiors.
01:12:46.160 --> 01:12:49.400
It also means that there is a comfort
01:12:49.520 --> 01:12:54.120
and there is also good mental state
and physical.
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:58.080
What are these flats like?
I think they are different to theirs.
01:12:58.240 --> 01:12:59.000
-Yes.
-Good.
01:12:59.160 --> 01:13:00.800
I love it. Huh?
It's beautiful.
01:13:01.000 --> 01:13:03.160
These would be the original flats, okay?
01:13:03.320 --> 01:13:06.320
When the house was made,
the flat was, like this.
01:13:06.480 --> 01:13:08.320
What happened to the last block?
01:13:08.480 --> 01:13:10.480
It was the unfinished block.
01:13:10.640 --> 01:13:15.680
When the military arrived
what they did was reconvert it
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:18.400
to adapt it to a residential block.
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:22.400
So, of course, they didn't need every flat
with a kitchen, for example,
01:13:22.520 --> 01:13:25.280
because there was a communal kitchen
for everyone.
01:13:25.440 --> 01:13:29.880
They didn't need a place to hang clothes,
because there was space for everyone.
01:13:30.080 --> 01:13:32.440
In other words,
it was like a communal space.
01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:36.360
And this meant that downstairs there was
a large dining room, for example.
01:13:36.480 --> 01:13:38.680
There were some important modifications.
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:42.000
And then also,
a little like a welfare space,
01:13:42.160 --> 01:13:44.560
there were large corridors
01:13:44.720 --> 01:13:47.240
that allowed end-to-end access
01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:51.080
in the event that any nurse,
or any staff,
01:13:51.240 --> 01:13:54.680
needed to assist any of the people.
01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:58.800
This made that block totally different
from this one.
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:02.440
This would be the master bedroom.
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.200
It's bigger than mine.
01:14:05.360 --> 01:14:07.320
-Yes? It's bigger, is it?
-Yes.
01:14:07.480 --> 01:14:10.040
We made a reproduction
01:14:10.200 --> 01:14:13.480
of the furniture that
the architects designed for this house
01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:16.440
and so here is a closet,
which is also very simple.
01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:19.640
I have one forty to put in a closet,
nothing else.
01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:23.480
-This one is probably...
-A little more, yes.
01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:25.520
More a less,
it should be this.
01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:29.680
-But I think you can find it, eh?
-But it's wide, yes.
01:14:29.840 --> 01:14:32.280
And the door handles are also like this?
01:14:32.440 --> 01:14:34.440
-Yes.
-The same.
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:39.400
But the balconies
are recreation for oneself...
01:14:39.520 --> 01:14:43.080
Besides, we're older,
we don't go out much...
01:14:43.240 --> 01:14:45.240
So of course...
01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:47.080
Beautiful.
01:14:47.680 --> 01:14:50.400
-Who me?
-No, the bedroom.
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:55.720
Well, very kind of you.
01:14:55.880 --> 01:14:58.400
A perfect explanation.
I really enjoyed it.
01:14:59.520 --> 01:15:01.200
We were curious.
01:15:01.360 --> 01:15:06.080
The truth is that it put a lot of things
in order for me.
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:25.160
Now it's unquestionable that the city
is not formed by the architects,
01:15:25.320 --> 01:15:27.560
that contribute by part,
01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:31.480
but it is because of the economic
and social conditions of the city.
01:15:31.600 --> 01:15:33.600
And so the city has become unbalanced.
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:38.120
The ones we have today
are an exact expression
01:15:38.280 --> 01:15:42.240
of the social
and economic imbalance that exists.
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.280
In your opinion,
what does an ideal city look like?
01:15:56.680 --> 01:16:01.360
An ideal city would be a city
in which people are happy,
01:16:01.480 --> 01:16:03.120
could live happily.
01:16:03.280 --> 01:16:06.240
As a definition, the most synthetic,
the shortest, is that one.
01:16:06.400 --> 01:16:09.240
The cities we build nowadays
are not made for people
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:13.480
and what we should think about
is do what we can
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:18.400
so cities are more for the people
rather than for other kinds of things.
01:16:22.240 --> 01:16:24.000
You are in favor, Mr. Sert,
01:16:24.160 --> 01:16:28.160
that apartments are not bought,
but rented.
01:16:29.480 --> 01:16:33.200
I am in favor of people having
a housing and living environment
01:16:33.360 --> 01:16:36.240
and social services
related to housing
01:16:36.400 --> 01:16:37.760
in the best way possible.
01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:42.760
Now, whether they are bought or rented,
doesn't concern me one way or the other.
01:16:42.920 --> 01:16:46.160
The point is to make them affordable
for people who need them.
01:16:46.320 --> 01:16:50.200
I believe for an architect, the greatest
satisfaction they can receive is...
01:16:50.360 --> 01:16:54.000
Sometimes, I have been told,
people who have lived in my buildings:
01:16:54.160 --> 01:16:56.760
"We are happy,
we are very happy,
01:16:56.920 --> 01:16:59.600
it works, the kids are happy..."
01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:03.800
The architect's primary duty
is to achieve a human environment
01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:07.280
where people can live
and develop happily.
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:16.720
Just so you know, it's a free buffet.
01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:20.040
It's a free buffet.
01:17:20.200 --> 01:17:22.360
I want to try the empanada.
01:17:24.240 --> 01:17:26.840
It's already October.
01:17:27.040 --> 01:17:31.080
Builders who came here,
Sevillians, hard workers...
01:18:18.040 --> 01:18:19.120
It's what I'm saying,
01:18:19.280 --> 01:18:23.640
where you live, has a coexistence,
which you embrace.
01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:27.880
But here, I really like the neighborhood,
I just lack integration.
01:18:28.760 --> 01:18:30.200
We can do it.
