A MAJOR NEW ACCESS

Keeping in mind the idea of how the city conquered Montjuïc with the development that followed the 1929 International Expo and Plaça Espanya, this project aims to define a strong new entrance for El Turó de la Rovira, hills that have remained hidden so far.

The entrance starts at Font Castellana square, at Guinardó. It is a more complex version and urban context than the solution used at Montjuïc in 1929.

The project suggests one empty urban space made of a platform with could house facilities underneath and a great balcony lookings to the city. A diagonal axis links this space and the Metro station with El Parc de les Aigües, and Can Mascaró Quarry. From there, the project enables a new access to the top of the hill and the bunkers viewpoint.

SENSING NATURE

Despite (or due to) the difficulty of the access, the hills are an urban park which allows visitors to get immerse in a wild environment, far from streets and houses. It is a reality very close to us, although we tend to imagine far away.

The project uses the rope as a metaphor for a manifesto on sensing that urban nature. Visitors could smell it, touch it and feel it while climbing up following the rope that lead them to the viewpoint at the top of the hil.
