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.

THE FIRST FACADES

EL PRIMER TRAM DE FAÇANES

El projecte condensa totes les accions al tram entre el nus viari i l’Avinguda dels Països Catalans d’Esplugues. La Diagonal estira la seva urbanitat fins allí gràcies a la solució elevada de les connexions entre Ronda de Dalt i la B-23 i aconsegueix així l’acumulació de nous programes metropolitans i de barri a peu de carrer. La secció de l’avinguda pren gruix amb els nous volums i usos que l’acompanyen.
A escala del projecte urbà s’assagen múltiples variacions volumètriques a la façana de la Diagonal, que busquen establir un nou ordre articulant alhora els antics darreres. L’espai es densifica situant un nou intercanviador (amb autobusos urbans i interurbans, metro, taxi i bicicletes) que identifica la posició estratègica de l’enllaç.

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.
