Heritage + new development

Key points:
-heritage castle restoration
-development of a mix use building 

The Castle of Villafranca needs a complete restoration. Reflecting different theories about heritage and conservation, Ruskin's sense of decadence and "romantic vision" leads me to follow Torres Balbas and Boito's vision to maintain the original appeal of the historical building.

The proposal consolidates the remains of the castle, adding some spaces that put in value the heritage and developing a new modern-hemispeo building in the surroundings of the castle.
