Barcelona, Spain. 2013.
URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT
T
he neighborhood of Poble Nou is one of ten districts that make up the Barcelona district of Sant Martí. The neighborhood had a boom when starting the industrial revolution and most of the industries of Barcelona were located in this area. Nowadays is a constantly changing area, where the new buildings belonging technological firms of the 22@ district coexist with ancient façades of old factories. The plot choosen for the project has a rectangular form, an area of 35.280 m2 and a gradient of 0%. This plot belongs to an ancient factory called Ca l’Alier which became a derelict building after several fires. The project proposed borns from the desire to convert the use given to three entire blocks of this district; aiming to create a new neighborhood core that will restructure, transform and renovate the surrounding blocks in the coming years. The program consists of three elements: a library-cultural center, a market and social housing. The big idea of the project is based on a study of the complexity of the urban network that is a mixt of the regularity Cerdà model and the random and irregular pattern of the old streets of Poble Nou. This confluence proposes a simple but a very powerful solution: create a ring of forested public space. The tools for doing this are three volums based on “piece - bar - piece”. The project, which seeks to integrate the environment while maintaining the scale is composed by two facilities on the city block ends and houses in the central block. Both facility buildings are introverted. The big idea of the project is how the public space gives order to the urban network, the social activities and the neighborhood configuration.

his building is part of the overall redesign planning as one of the highlights of the main axis of the project. The library facade maintains a relationship with the environment in terms of its shape, heights, rhythms and alignment. One of the compositional premises of the project is that the building knocks over the central courtyard. Regarding distribution, it is organised by the four distribution core services, which define and create different spaces with the central courtyard. But the areas are fragmented in height, as the library and auditorium are in the ground floor while the exposure area and the artistic workshops are situated at the upper level. The library-cultural center of Poble Nou tries to fill a vacant in the cultural facilities of the district. This new facility aims to link a series of cultural centers that are in its surrounding: schools, colleges, universities, creation and artistic development, etc.

MARKET 24
· ARCHITECTONIC PROJECTS ·
T
he project’s core is to enrich the public space, creating an inner place that can be used as a market or/and a craft fair. The inner square is permeable from the street through pillars but giving a sensation of a closed and protected space thanks to the first floor (office department). The proposal is a simple, functional building. Its structure is a regular net of pillars that organizes the functional program allowing maximum flexibility. It is composed by two rectangular volumes, the largest, double-height, where the market is located and the second volume, arcaded ground floor that contains offices and the administration department. The two volumes are connected in its ground floor for shops and other commercial services like outdoor cafe, nursery, bank and citizen service. The market space is structured longitudinally through a sequence of commercial sections, wet (seafood), semi-wet (meat and sausages) and dry (bakeries, vegetables, etc.), creating a spatial continuity that gives market idea as a continuous enclosure. The market access is composed by six different doors where possible, from the very begining, to notice the simplicity geometry of the building. Thanks to this, all the stop market have the same importance and no one has privileges over the others. This pattern distributes the space longitudinally along a single line scheme of sale and purchase lines which fit the market places starting from minimum dimensions that can be extended depending on the sales needs of each trade.
The stops market organization allows easy handling and distribution of goods. In addition, the vertical communication cores are located on the corners in order to ensure the optimal performance for the internal organization (for supply of goods from the loading dock or refrigerators) and for buyers come or go to the underground car park.
CONCEPTE ARQUITECTÒNIC DE MERCAT
La idea de mercat es un edifici obert i accessible per dicerssos punts que cobreix el conjunt de petits comerços.
Generalment a l'exterior del mercat es generen activitats de comerç relacionats amb el mercat, amb la finalitat d'afavorir aquestes activitats es condiciona la plaça exterior amb espai porxat i elements d'ombrejat a l'estiu.

SMART CITIES PROJECTS
Method for the creation and promotion of quite urban areas.
WELLNESS RECOVERING
· SMART CITIES PROJECTS ·
A
quiet urban area is an urban area that wants to protect their noise levels, dimensions, type of roads in order to maintain its tranquility and its acoustic quality. The concept of quiet area is not very developed. The European Directive 49/2002 aims to promote areas but left to the European Member States its definition. Neither Spain nor Catalonia have defined the term in their law. So the difficulty lies: • how to identify the vulnerable quiet urban area • the selection of the most appropriate measures to protect a certain environment. • Another difficulty is the quiet urban area identification by citizens. Thus, the citizens realise they are in a quiet urban area and can change their behavior (drive slowly, not to shout...). In order to give coherence to the term “quiet urban area” I propose a method that select the most suitable measures of measures catalog for a certain QUA (quiet urban area).
cision is taken by the method. Public opinion taken before the decision let the method to identify, locate and evaluate the existing problem. The public opinion is given by representatives of the population (stakeholders) and is collected in a formal meeting. The decision method is not automatic; the user has to follow the method instructions. The method results in a scale of prioritizing the most effective solutions, trying to offer a zero-cost funding, offering measures that give economic revenue to the investor such as local businesses, families and other private organizations in the area. The solution is taken from a catalog attached to the method. This catalog is a list of solutions. There are two types of solution: some aim to reduce the hassle of people and others aim to monitor the efficiency of other measures. The overall objective of this study is to provide a universal tool that can be used in any case (whenever urban area). The catalog collects the maximum number of solutions that aim to, directly or indirectly, reduce the I. INNOVATION DESCRIPTION discomfort of the people in any case.
