Research's IaaC - Barcelona: Interchange City

This is an observation of several cycles that happen in the city. This cycles are generated by the connection of the metro and by the fact that young people live far away from the center of the city.Plaza Catalunya is a center point in the city from where, the different points that connect the rest of the city, appear. The routes of mobility are open like fun.In the project there has been an effort to translate this movement of Plaza Catalunya creating a main plaza where this movement can generate a lot of dynamism in the neighbourhood, spread the different activities and create an interchange with living, leisure, commerce, education and transportation. How to Get to the Project Area?How to Move in the Project Area? One can access the Project Area by public transportation; metro, bus, and “teleferic”; and by private transportation; meaning cars and bicycles. There is only one main route for motor vehicles, that permits a reasonable walking distance in all the area of the project. Since young people use more public transportation and bicycles for means of mobility and since Barcelona has a problem with CO2 emission levels, our project promote the usage of bikes and ¨pure¨ public transportation. It also incorporates more green areas to help balance the CO2 cycle. Team: Lilieth Aparicio, Diego Camargo, Natalia Miranda, Honghao Zhao Directed by Willy Müller
