Two projects placed in the same block of Barcelona’s Eixample, in the new 22@ neighborhood with High Tech vision and attending energetical efficiency questions. The old Factory neighborhood is in full growth.

​

The first point to attend was the volumes’ position to create city. In the analysis, it’s identified a strong green axis which joins our project’s block. It’s decided to build the perimeter of the block (facing the street) and blurring the typical chamflan of Barcelona’s urbanism. Emplacing the volumes in U, and leaving an emptyness inside the block to create a concrete square with trees and vegetation, touching the green axis and serving like a previous access to both buildings. 

From one side, the multiuse pavilion is a closed box leaning on the city’s ground level. The inner public square descends until the lowest pavilion’s floor to create a clean access into the building (glass strip), transferring it and arriving to the back yard. Three big gaps (glass strips) are bathed in light the indoor.

For the other side, the modular building is a nursery of companies and laboratories, where you can combine differents modules. They are opened to the outside and positioned in a way that the space between them is the passage space and the common areas. However, the modules are private/single spaces.
