2019-2023 Projects

This exercise was a response to a series of previously determined issues and opportunities by studying the city of Igualada. The initial bases for the revitalization of Igualada were relief, city centers, and pedestrian walkways. I opted to focus on the western part, where there was clearly a discontinuity between educational facilities and the city itself. The major cause of the barrier was topography. I attempted to address the weak urban link by reactivating an existing, unused route along the torrent, extending it, and providing a pedestrian-friendly and safe means for those living nearby to cross the current bridge. A sequence of ramps linking the level curves solved the topographical obstacle and the possibility of connecting with the school. The last phase of the plan was highlighted by the incorporation of a green walk that could eventually lead to the present university.
