Escuela de Ingenieros de Minas

The intervention at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Minas, an iconic Madrid building designed by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco in the late 19th century, focused on the full restoration of the central skylight and the historic roofs of the property. These works were carried out to ensure waterproofing, improve the building's energy performance, and preserve its original monumental character. The skylight restoration involved the recovery of its metal structure and glazed components, respecting the original configuration, while the pitched roofs were upgraded with renewed waterproofing systems and reinforced wooden structural elements. The intervention followed principles of material compatibility, reversibility, and formal integration, ensuring the conservation of one of the most significant examples of academic architecture in Madrid.
