Spain's Manhattan

We are going to Spain now.
Benidorm is Spain's Manhattan.
We are going to use our aquired knoledge of building in extremely dense urban situations, to explore the posibilities of intensely urban coastal developement.
First, a few considerations (see links below, and debate today)
Second, a question: How many Benidorms would it have taken to concentrate all the newly built up areas in coastal Spain?
Third, a project: Nuevo Cabo Palos.

binnen/buiten

I would like to call your attention on the series of short workshops binnen/buiten (at home outdoors), partly sponsored by our University.
They are relevant to our Shared-space programme, so, if you take part in any of them, I am prepared to accept the work you do there as part of the course (this is particularly relevant for people who have missed a previous submission, as they could substitute it)
