A JUNCTION AS AN INTERCHANGE

A JUNCTION AS AN INTERCHANGE

The two-level junction of Diagonal Avenue with Ronda de Dalt is multiplied with the aim of proposing a great hub at that same spot. The already planned coach terminal is placed here and also an elongation of the L3 Metro Line.
The expressivity of infrastructural traces become the main element at this case. Superposition is manifested both underground and externally with new volumes located beside big surfaces serving Barcelona’s mobility: halls, parking and squares.

A NEW BRIDGE

A NEW BRIDGE

The location of the Coll hermitage is a strategic place to link El Carmel and El Turó de la Rovira.
The project studies how to set a new bridge. The connection between the two routes needs to fix the two levels where the bridge takes place.
The impact of the new infrastructure in local and global scale becomes a relevant point of interest.

FIRST SECTION WITH FACADES

FIRST SECTION WITH FACADES

The project condensates all the actions at the sector between Països Catalans Avenue and the road junction. Diagonal’s urbanity is elongated through there due to the elevation of Ronda de Dalt’s connections with B-23. New volumes and uses accumulate metropolitan and local programs connected with the street level.
Different volumetric variations are tested trying to establish a new order and at the same time articulate the existing backyards. The urban space is intensified by the introduction of a new modal station of urban and inter-urban bus, metro, taxi and bicycle.

AN EMBEDDED COMPASS

The junction of Rambla de Marina with the railway track and Gran Via becomes a place of high intensity. The project reveals this situation and draws, from this specific point, two great avenues that become real links between different metropolitan districts. Those two new curve-shaped guidelines shows how new metropolitan elements can still be imagined on this area.

Gran Via is lifted and converted into aa viaduct, thus becoming an artefact which is both infrastructure and architecture. This important street is divided into two separate levels: a more fast and metropolitan way at the top and new local services and facilities underneath.
