- Architecture&Criticism -
James Stirling sostenía que un proyecto de arquitectura debe partir de una única idea capaz de extenderse por todos y cada uno de sus rincones. Lo sabía bien Alejandro de la Sota, arquitecto de referencia dentro de la arquitectura española que desarrolló la mayor parte de su obra durante los años 50 y 60 del pasado siglo XX. En el colegio mayor Cesar Carlos el silencio, imprescindible para la concentración de los estudiantes, es la idea que subyace en cada rincón del edificio y que genera todo el proyecto ya desde sus inicios. La propia ordenación volumétrica del colegio así lo atestigua al separarse por completo la recepción y los comedores del volumen principal, mucho más alto, y que contiene las habitaciones y el gimnasio. De esta forma se evitan las molestas carreras por los pasillos que tanto perturban los momentos de estudio. Prácticamente cualquier ruido queda neutralizado dentro del complejo mediante el soterramiento del corredor principal que discurre enterrado entre los dos edificios. Incluso la piscina es cuadrada: dentro de esa forma no se pueden hacer largos interminables que rompan el silencio.

James Stirling said that the architectural project have to be created with one and only idea. Alejandro de la Sota, one of the most important architects of Spain in twenty century, Knew it. That's the reason why the silence is so important in the University Residence Cesar Carlos, designed by De la Sota in 1963. The building is divided in two volumes, one for reception and the university canteens, and other, much more higher, with the rooms and the gymnasium. Therefore, there isn't noise when the students run through the corridors, so annoying to study. In fact, every noise is removed from the building because there is only one buried corridor that connect those two buildings. Even the swimming pool is square: inside this shape is imposible to swimming for a long time breaking the silence.
