Archallenge presents its new international students and young architects’s architectural competition. In collaboration with Barcelona’s Council has been selected to work on the Super-Blocks that Ildefons Cerdà proposed for Barcelona as the group of some of the existing blocks
A super-block is a new urban quarter that is created to achieve the liberation of the majority of the area that today is mechanized in order to turn the pedestrian into a citizen again. In short, it is done to give citizens the chance to benefit from all the functions that they can ́t use now as it only leaves them with the use of a tiny line, the pavement, next to the buildings.
Barcelona’s city hall, through the modification of the bus network, has provided the first step towards the new urbanization of the city, recovering Cerdà’s super-blocks.
The area we propose is between Entença Street and Muntaner Street (in vertical) and Paris Street and Mallorca Street (in horizontal) as a general plan. In order to improve the area’s control, we propose a shortening between Entença Street and Viladomat Street. The proposal we’re offering only concerns this super-block. Nevertheless, City Hall’s goal is to implement the changes made in this super-block, later, in the whole city.
Super-blocks’ quiet streets give us the opportunity to imagining a different public area: greener, more accessible, pleasant, where we can ride a bike... and at the same time we can remodel this
setting to make it more self-sufficient.
With 3000€ in prizes, On Diseño magazine subscriptions and publications on other magazines, the competition allows the inscription until October 20th, with a 10% discount for the first 10 teams.
