A CHAMALEON EFFECT

A CHAMALEON EFFECT

Sants station is like a great box losed to its surroundings. But in fact, there are streets, small squares, blocks and houses around. It could be imagined that the station could be remodelled by extending the traces of the surroundings streets inside the station.

The strategy is to understand it as a orner between two perpendicular axis, Guitard Street as the cardus and Av. Roma as the decumanus. That overlapping with its surroundings will generate a set of urban spaces, boulevards and squares, thus enriching the transition between the inside and outside of the station.

FROM MARINA

FROM MARINA

This corner ould be strengthened if we look it from the Marina St. axisperspective. This street changes its section at Diagonal Avenue, just before arriving to Sagrada Família. The existing Monumental bullring at its lower section and Sant Pau Hospital at the end of this axis complement the a monumental singularity of this tour.

The project studies the routes, activities, chamfers and sidewalks between the monuments, suggesting a huge potential in its interaction. It tries to organize the wrong alignments at the intersection with Diagonal Avenue and reinforces that site, by implementing complementary facilities (exhibition areas, parking space, restaurants…)
