HOW TO DECOMPOSE CAUFEC

HOW TO DECOMPOSE CAUFEC
Pla Caufec’s uncertainties become a project strategy. The space that was occupied once by high voltage lines now aims to become a connection to Collblanc St. That trace has a great connecting potential at the two Diagonal Avenue sides and also matches with the territory’s topography.
With the existing Plan still under development but the already built streets the building density is concentrated close to the city with the aim of releasing urban density at the base of the mountain. Different strategies for the Diagonal’s junction arise always taking the goal to link back Sant Joan de Déu’s Hospital with the Avenue.

TO SANT JOAN DESPÍ

TO SANT JOAN DESPÍ

This proposal articulates a new Avenue to St. Joan Despí at the main highway space. The different relations between the Highway and its built surroundings are analyzed and with a systematic strategy a new organization is proposed that provides continuity to its sides, providing sidewalks, tramways and green spaces.
The open section of the Avenue allows to propose platforms where parks and facilities can be located, following the example of Ronda de Dalt. Some punctual interventions intensify the urban fabric and the tissues that form the new façade.

TYDING UP BUSES

TYDING UP COACHES

The proximity to the Sagrada Família is overwhelming at this j corner. Thousands of tourists who visit the temple every day move around this area following their guides. Their coaches remain parked there, thus generating annoying barriers.
La Hispanitat and Pablo Neruda squares can contribute to improve this situation. A new bus station is located at the lower level of the biggest garden, bringing down itself to the level of the basement of some existing buildings around (see, for example, the garage at Aragó-Lepant corner).
This action would allow to intensify the activity and use of this space, multiplying its levels and improving its dialogue with the street.

METRO CABLE

OPENING WINDOWS

This project proposes a public cable car that links the Metro network to Els Tres Turons Park. It starts at Vallcarca L3 metro station, crosses Park Güell, stops at El Carmel neighborhood, reaches the bunkers at the top of Turó de la Rovira, flies over El Guinardó and, finally, links with Sant Pau metro station (L5 and future L9). The line follows the hill’s ridge and offers great views to the city.
Each stop would enable the allocation of new cultural and leisure facilities, and the transformation of the park into a more enjoyable experience for citizens.
