One of the problems of the metropolitan contemporary city nowadays in barcelona, apart from its growing, is the constantcious try of joinning all the illages in its sorroundings, which sometimes are forgotten by the city.
In this project, we will try to join a zone that had an importance in the past (with some equipments and green zones), but nowadays is separated of the city by the highway.
Other challenge in the project is create an avenue that acts as a central street of the zone, this avenue is also going to be the one that jumps the highway to connect the zone with the metropolitan city.
Surroundings Plan - highway as a barrier
Connection by public transport to the zone - tube and bus diagrams
The strategy tries to follow the previous streets closer to the old equipments (University and college's residence, Horta's green park), connecting this zone with the central bus station with a bridge.
The project uses the old sportive center to reactivate the zone for public events as concerts or sportive competitions, and uses the river's topography result to plant some urban orchards, joinning the zone with the lost favela in the north.
