BUILDING, RAMP AND DIAGONAL

BUILDING, RAMP AND DIAGONAL

Due to its proximity to Sants neighborhood, the space left by the former Citroën plant could potentially become a community space and also an access point to the new elevated promenade over the railroad tracks and Av. Brasil/ Riera Blanca.
Hypothesis- The new covering of the railway track could be the opportunity to include a a new bus line connecting Barcelona with Hospitalet.
Barcelona’s bus network system (orange), Hospitalet’s bus network system (yellow) and the new proposed line, following the railroad geometry (red).
New volumes could be envisaged in order to establish new connections between the three existing different levels, thus introducing diagonal relationships through the big open space next to Brasil Avenue.

BRASIL / SUGRANYES: AN UNDERPASS

BRASIL / SUGRANYES: AN UNDERPASS

Riera Blanca Street was a former stream and now it goes under the railway track and creates an enclosed urban space in the free space left by the former Citroën plant.

A new connection between Av. Brasil and Sugranyes street is proposed in order to create new urban continuities under the railway.  By extending Sugranyes St., a new Y-shape structure is created at Av. Brasil axis.

A new building follows this guideline and could solves the connection between the different slopes, allowing a dual condition of Av. Brasil.
