ProEixample_4.0

Taking inspiration from a previosuly implemented, greenfication movement in Barcelona, and using the Superblock scheme as a basis for investigation, ProEixample_4.0 poses the following questions: What does one do with the leftover road-area in a "car-free" city? And how could this new area be used to greenify the urban realm?

Garden block

"Hyper-block" is a fractal composition that combines 9 historical blocks into one united space. The main idea is the transition from one block function to multifunctionality. New blocks can be universal and transform depending on the situation and specific historical value. By combining additional space appears between the blocks, for public needs.

GREEN GRID

The concept is based on the GREEN GRID, a public open space, which creates a spacious passage in the planning area and defines points of contact with the surroundings. The GREEN GRID forms a balance to the built-up area, incorporates a variety of different social, urban climate and mobility functions and in this way the backbone of the concept is formed.

An urban social network

Our proposal implies a way to design the city thinking of all population segments, from little kids that start to discover their neighborhood to senior citizens that hardly go out anymore because their needs have changed. We designed a main collective adaptable space for different programs accompanied by a series of niche public spaces within housing blocks.
