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…)

IN THE SHADOW OF SAGRADA FAMÍLIA

IN THE SHADOW OF SAGRADA FAMÍLIA

From Jaussely’s Plan (1903) until General Metropolitan Plan (1976), Barcelona has been planning different ways to give more visibility to Sagrada Família from the main streets of that area: Diagonal Avenue and Marina St.

For the last three decades, the construction of the final Sagrada Família has been affecting the existing houses right to the south of the building. But the level of consolidation of the existing building difficult makes difficult its demolition.

This proposal presents a softer intervention, by setting up a new composition of empty spaces that arrives until Diagonal Avenue, without giving up the idea of a frontala route and cross views that interested Gaudií already at its origin.
