The UPV FACSA-FOVASA Chair shares its know-how with Azalea to define the housing of the future

Promoting and developing training, dissemination and innovation activities in the field of circular economy is the main objective of the FACSA-FOVASA Chair of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), which continues to support socially responsible projects related to water and waste management.

This is the case of Azalea, a spontaneously formed group at the UPV (Polytechnic University of Valencia) with whom the Chair has begun collaborating to define the housing of the future. A self-sufficient and environmentally conscious house, for whose design the Chair will provide the initiative with financial resources and all its know-how in water and waste management.

Currently, Azalea - which was created to represent the UPV in Solar Decathlon Europe, the most prestigious international university competition on the design and construction of sustainable housing - is working on Escalà, a housing project focused on the reconversion and rehabilitation of the Cabanyal neighborhood, which has a great heritage and is part of the most recent history of Valencia.
