This thesis argues that Portmeirion, a holiday resort in North Wales built and designed by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis from 1925 to 1976, is not an ‘idiosyncratic playground of little interest’ but an architectural site that not only followed the pattern of expansion of seaside tourist resorts in Britain since the early 1900s but also responded to them through its unique and sustainable ‘light-opera’ approach. Whilst the village’s characteristic look corresponds to the fact that Williams-Ellis aesthetically designed every corner, down to the last detail, it also reflects his lifelong efforts of introducing pleasurable and accessible forms of architecture to the public. Through a narrative mode of creative-writing describing a journey to Portmeirion, the strong association of the village with fictional stories such as the 1960s TV series The Prisoner and its long disregard within British architectural history are challenged – thus positioning Portmeirion as an exemplar of reactions against what were regarded as unsympathetic rural leisure developments in the early-twentieth-century. Resumen: Esta tesis argumenta que Portmeirion, un complejo turístico ubicado en el norte de Gales, construido y diseñado por Sir Clough Williams-Ellis de 1925 a 1976, no es un "patio de juegos idiosincrásico de poco interés" sino un projecto arquitectónico que además de seguir el patrón de otros centros turísticos que se expandieron a lo largo de la costa de Gran Bretaña desde principios de 1900, respondió y los desafió a través de su enfoque único y sostenible de "ópera ligera". Mientras que el aspecto característico de la villa corresponde a que Williams-Ellis diseñó estéticamente cada rincón, hasta el último detalle, la exótica apaciencia de esta también refleja los esfuerzos de toda la vida del arquitecto de introducir formas de arquitectura agradables y accesibles al público. A través de un método narrativo de escritura creativa que describe un viaje a Portmeirion, esta investigación desafía la fuerte asociación del complejo con historias ficticias como la serie de televisión de los años sesenta, The Prisoner, y su desprecio por la historia de la arquitectura británica, lo que posiciona a Portmeirion como un ejemplo de reacciones contra lo que se consideraba desarrollos de ocio rural poco comprensivos y respetuosos con el medio ambiente a principios del siglo XX.

Adaptive reuse is a process that currently is part of the discussion about sustainable urban development in contemporary cities. Research has shown how conducting this type of process represents not only a series of social, economic and environmental benefits that attract the interest of developers, urban planners, and administrative bodies, but also represents an alternative vision and way of thinking to tackle the growth and development of cities making efficient use of available resources. This study aims to determine from architecture the conditions that must be considered to successfully carry out an adaptive reuse project. More specifically, this thesis seeks to answer: How do the spatial qualities of an existing building influence in the successful development of an adaptive reuse process? To answer this question, an experimental method was proposed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the adaptability and flexibility of the space in existing buildings, in order to understand to what extent these could be transformed and adapted to new requirements. In this way, it was intended to be consolidated as a possible tool to support the decision-making of stakeholders in this type of projects. This method was applied in six different adaptive reuse case studies in Italy and, as a result, it could be understood that besides to social and economic factors, the spatial qualities of the building, infrastructure or site to be reused also represent a fundamental factor to consider in the success of the adaptive reuse project. However, this method has some limitations in the form and scope of the analysis of the spatial qualities for which future research and development would be required so that it can contribute to the discussion of sustainable urban development in contemporary cities. El reuso adaptativo es un proceso que actualmente forma parte de la discusión sobre el desarrollo urbano sostenible en las ciudades contemporáneas. La investigación ha demostrado que la realización de este tipo de procesos representa no solo una serie de beneficios sociales, económicos y ambientales que atraen el interés de los desarrolladores, planificadores urbanos y organismos administrativos, sino que también representa una visión y una forma de pensar alternativas para abordar el crecimiento y el desarrollo de las ciudades haciendo uso eficiente de los recursos disponibles. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar a partir de la arquitectura las condiciones que deben considerarse para llevar a cabo con éxito un proyecto de reuso adaptativo. Más específicamente, esta tesis busca responder: ¿Cómo influyen las cualidades espaciales de un edificio existente en el desarrollo exitoso de un proceso de reuso adaptativo? Para responder a esta pregunta, se propuso un método experimental para el análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de la adaptabilidad y flexibilidad del espacio en los edificios existentes, a fin de comprender en qué medida estos podrían transformarse y adaptarse a nuevos requisitos. De esta forma, se pretendía consolidar como una posible herramienta para apoyar la toma de decisiones de los interesados en este tipo de proyectos. Este método se aplicó en seis estudios de caso de reutilización adaptativa diferentes en Italia y, como resultado, se pudo comprender que, además de los factores sociales y económicos, las cualidades espaciales del edificio, la infraestructura o el sitio a reutilizar también representan un factor fundamental para considerar en el proyecto de reuso adaptativo. Sin embargo, este método tiene algunas limitaciones en la forma y el alcance del análisis de las cualidades espaciales para las cuales se requeriría investigación y desarrollos futuros para que pueda contribuir a la discusión del desarrollo urbano sostenible en las ciudades contemporáneas.
