268People's Choice AwardGarden 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.
3Barcelonas veinThis project reinterprets the work of Ildefons Cerda in a modern way and improves Barcelona's situation in terms of ventilation, noise pollution and accessibility.
7GREEN GRIDThe 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.
6Manzana MorphosisReshaping the blocks of Cerda as a future urban garden landscape - this project is a development and re-imagining of the manzanas and grid of Eixample - a future solution that can address and handle issues of sustainability and liveability.
