Description

Consultation for the organization of the ARE in Pla de Villbona (Barcelona)

The neighborhood as an active filter:

a. Permeable disposition and adaptation to environment.
b. Active elements of the urban filter (trees, buildings and degrees of permeability).

La Rambla central:

a. Absorption of the infrastructure and axis crossing.
b. Ease of Access and flexibility of the facilities.
c. Identity and concentration of social activity

Complexity, sequences and articulation of public space:

a. Uses as activators of internal relationship axes.
b. Sequences and fragmented paths as spatial identifiers.

Relation of scale and surroundings:

a. The Garden as a symbol of transition between the ecosystem and the urban system and a connector between different age groups (school, home and nursing homes).
b. The river as a nearby landscape and as a pedestrian connector to the sea.
c. The topography as a volumetric reference point and model against the wind.
d. Urban landscape: the most central body of the city of Barcelona as a visual background.
