Play Arquitectura presented the New Passivhaus Plus Offices of Victory in the 24th International Passivhaus Conference which this year was held online with more than 1,000 attendees.
The presentation on the New Offices and Logistics Warehouse in Victoria was selected from over 300 papers and was presented alongside the most outstanding Passivhaus projects on the international scene.
With this presentation, Play Arquitectura has already presented 4 times at the International Passivhaus Conference, which it has attended since 2015.
Victoria's new offices are the first non-residential building in Spain to be certified with the Passivhaus Plus standard, and the Victoria brand has thus sought to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and to the best health and comfort conditions for its employees.

Holland's bigger Bridge is currently under construction and will be ready for students Fall 2017.

On October 25, 26 and 27, Play Arquitectura attended the 10th Spanish Passivhaus Conference held at the Expo Congress Palace in Zaragoza.

The most notable aspect of the conference was the considerable examples of collective buildings designed and built under the Passivhaus standard, among which the developer Grupo LOBE stood out. This company, which started two years ago with its first Passivhaus developments, has incorporated the design, construction and certification process under the Passivhaus standard and currently the 100% of its development is Passivhaus with more than 1,000 homes planned.

Another notable example of collective housing was the cooperative project “Entrepatios Las Carolinas Promotion” presented by the SATT office in Madrid, with a very sustainable vision of architecture and the Passivhaus standard.

On March 9 and 10, 2018, Play Arquitectura participated in the 22nd International Passivhaus Conference held in Munich.

At this Conference with more than 1,000 attendees, Play Arquitectura presented the Passivhaus and BREEM Rehabilitation project of the Ministry of Finance and Public Administrationss.

In turn, at the presentation of the Plenary Hall on March 10, the New Zealand architect Elrond Burrell presented the Villamediana Library as an example of a Passivhaus building with careful aesthetics and integration into the environment.

Play Arquitectura participated in the 8th Spanish Passivhaus Conference The event was held at the Baluarte in Pamplona on November 2, 3, 4 and 5. Esteban Pardo, representing Play Arquitectura, gave a presentation at the Institutional Conference on the experiences of the Passivhaus standard in Urban Planning and Public Building. As an unprecedented event in the Passivhaus Conferences, it is worth highlighting the significance of the institutional conference due to the large number of city councils and public institutions from all over the country interested in incorporating energy efficiency parameters as demanding as the Passivhaus standard in building regulations and in public and protected housing construction.

Other notable aspects of the 8th Conference were the high quality of the selected technical presentations and the presence of a large number of certified construction product suppliers, which demonstrates the standardisation of the Spanish construction sector.

Esteban Pardo, representing Play Arquitectura, participated in the Construtec forum at the ePower&Building fair held at the Ifema exhibition centre in Madrid.

Play Arquitectura will give a presentation entitled “The Passivhaus Standard in Public Building in Northern Spain” at the 20th International Passivhaus Conference to be held on April 22 and 23 in Darmstadt.

This conference is of particular interest because it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the first International Passivhaus Conference and the 25th anniversary of the construction of the first Passivhaus house in Darmstadt. 

The presentation by Esteban Pardo is included in the block of Session 4 of Warm Climates and will deal with the specificities of the Passivhaus standard in Public Building in Spain, comparing the requirements between the Technical Building Code and the Passivhaus standard.

On December 15, Esteban Pardo, representing Play Arquitectura, gave a lecture entitled “The historical view of contemporary architecture” in the Graduation Hall of the Quintiliano Building of the University of La Rioja. 

The conference dealt with the approach to the architectural project of two great masters of architecture, Jorn Utzon and Rafael Moneo, through their profound capacity for historical understanding. The tour of two of their great works, Casa Lis and the Logroño City Hall, shows how contemporary architecture can have its origin and its discourse based entirely on the historical or cultural origin of the site in which it is located. The art of the masters and their capacity for synthesis turn these works of architecture into true master classes in history. 

Esteban Pardo, representing Play Arquitectura, participated as a guest speaker at the 7th Spanish Passivhaus Conference
