Abstract


Usually the most popular projects are those of greater size or economic relevance. However, in some occasions, it is in the smallest or least media impact projects where the more interesting, risky or innovative proposals are developed. This may be due to several factors: on the one hand, in small-scale projects it is more acceptable to take a certain degree of risk in the proposed solutions, motivated in part by the smaller economic scope of what is at stake. On the other hand, in this type of project every corner of it is special and unique, thus frequently discarding the conventional solutions.
