Research's IaaC - Self sufficient block Poblenou, 22@,Barcelona

The objective of the project is to transform one Cerda Block of Barcelona into a Self Sufficient Block.

The main concepts for developing the block were to free the ground level, create an underground patio and use it as a public green space in order to connect and give back interactive spaces to the city.

Organizing the different programs according to better location and connecting them through a green loop that will serve for vertical farming. The inverted topography and the courtyards of the building will work as structure, vertical circulation and fluid system for sustainable elements, it also becomes the skin of the building.

This metabolic structure will serve to harvest water to produce energy, clean grey water for farming and public green areas, waste management, geothermal system and solar photovoltaic panels on south side of the block were it can take advantage of the most of radiation.
