..... After his trip to Tunisia and Egypt, P. Klee captures the memory of his landscapes in paintings of great abstraction based on linear layers. In his painting "Main Roads and Side Roads" (1929), he creates a network of horizontal lines that are transformed into luminous roads leading to the horizon, delimited by strips of blue sky......

Two major decisions shape this proposal for collective housing on the outskirts of Jaén. On the one hand, the concentration of living spaces and public relations in order to have a large public void in the interior. On the other hand, the choice of a module that shows the organization of the building on the outside, with a prefabricated structure and a standardized system of service cores and divisions that would allow it to be erected as quickly as a commercial infrastructure.

The south façade. Total permeability is proposed. A two-storey basement recessed three meters from the facade that is responsible for closing the whole set allowing the great interior void peek outside. On one side the paths, which, after crossing the interior, recover the view of the street. On the other, the terraces and the viewpoint from which to observe the large lime trees inside.

The paths. A network of paths and luminous ways build the fabric of this framework with a series of courtyards that show us the access to each of the dwellings. When the path is darkened, chimneys of light give the light relief to the courtyards and reveal the breathing and inner life of the building.

The dwelling. The entrance in bend, as in the accesses to the building. The wet areas grouped in a narrow corridor on both sides of the roads and the kitchen and dining room adapted to the living standards of the time. Ways of resting and working, schedules and eating habits of that time that are subject to continuous revision. Subject to a modulation of 2.70 m (5.40 m for structure) all housing types take as a basis the type of three room units.
