MR. SHEA GIBSON HELLO, I AM SHEA GIBSON AND THIS IS MY PROJECT!
THE AMAZING
SYM
URBANISM SYMBIOTIC URBAN ARCHITECTURE UNIFYING AND PRESERVING PERE IV’S HISTORY
WHAT IS IT? SYMURBANISM is about togetherness. it IS AN additive architecture of preservation, framing, unification AND THE embracEMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL CHARACTER of the district while also celebrating ITS FUTURE. The project completes these goals through the implementation of several prosthetic, or symbiotic parasitic,architectural interventions built Around the heritage buildings along Pere IV. parti diagram for intervention system

Our specific intervention site is located in the eastern portion of the Poblenou neighbouhood and has a focus on the development around the bisecting road of Pere IV and the adjacent blocks.

Pere IV street is a unique road which breaks with the homogeneous road grid of the Cerda Plan. It is filled with old factories, contemporary structures,parks, and exhibition spaces. The street is old and has an eclectic feel to it with its factory complexes and other remnants of an agricultural past still scattered along the road mixed with small work-shops, housing blocks, industrial units and warehouses now turned into recreational premises.
THE PROJECT BEGAN IN EARNEST WITH SOME HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY READING AND RESEARCH ABOUT THE SITE,
ALONG WITH A VISIT TO THE SITE WITH THE DUAL PURPOSE OF DISCOVERY AND DOCUMENTATION.
WE LOOKED FOR POTENTIAL INTERVENTION MOMENTS OR ANY POINTS OF INTEREST TO BASE OUR STUDIO ON.

The initial basis of the investigations were empirical observations and analysis of Pere IV Street, the intervention site, toward a design problem That addresses an architectural and urban problem beyond the scale of a singular architecture. The goal was to create an architecture of contingency towards an atlas of interventions for the street. My investigations were focused towards the notion of heritage and the historical context of the Poblenou neighbourhood.
EARLY VISUAL ESSAY
THERE WAS ALWAYS A DESIRE TO DESCRIBE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MATERIALS AND their CHANGE OVER TIME.
My Initial interests were focused around mixed facade typologies combining materials, tectonics, history, and usages.
“I am interested in tectonic and materiality imbued identity including ideas such as: experience, variability, purpose, practicality, history, decay, palette, character, ideology, and transition.”
HMMM... I THINK THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DIFFERENT MATERIALS MAY BE AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION TO PONDER...
The project trajectory then pushed towards mapping these interests on a detailed site map. CONTINUED ON THE NEXT SLIDE
THE VISUAL ESSAY WAS A photographic analysis of the site according to MY PREVIOUS INTERESTS AROUND mixed facade typologies combining materials, tectonics, history, and usages. I WANTED TO FIND EXAMPLES OF COMPLEX MATERIAL INTERMINGLING SHOWING VARIABLE MATERIAL AND TECTONIC COMPOSITES. I was looking to see if their were any symbiotic relationships that existed at the tectonic level. Were there materials along the street that required the existence of other materials?

THESE diagramming exercises attempted to illustrate the complexity and yet simple homogeneous nature of the facade typologies, show what exists at the site, and potential points for new materiality intervention coinciding with new programming implementations. Pursuing my ideas towards the historical structures themselves, I saw an opportunity to use a materially unique and seamless tectonic approach to frame the character of Pere IV’s older structures while also achieving new and complementary forms.

The historical buildings feature some of the most striking facades in the neighbourhood. Most most have ADJACENT buildings that can be integrated into a comprehensive design, open space for expansion, and histories that DEMAND considerationS toward THEIR treatment regarding any renovations and additions.

I sought precedents that created architectural relationships between the old and new, tradition and innovation. I further explored ideas around framing, renovation, preservation, additions (indoor & outdoor), and the exploration of new material usage and experiences. Looking for successful and different additive architectures and programming. comparative analysis of the plan drawings for the most successful precedents. What makes them work?

THE COLLAGE ATTACHES THE EXPANSION PLAN VIEWS OF THE CCCB, REM, AND THE MGA INTO THE EXISTING HERITAGE BUILDINGS. THE STRATEGY WAS TO FILL IN WHAT I SAW OBJECTIVELY AS “MISSING SPACES AND PROVIDE SOLUTIONS WITH THESE PLANS SUCH AS NEW ENTRANCES.

What is the character of the interventions? How is this character shown at each node? How can I keep in mind the scale that my interventions are working on? Response...

The concepts enable any intervention to be implemented ant a variety of scales and dimensions.
The architectural interventions became different beings at each of the nodes or heritage buildings, each embracing the unique nature of its “host” and enhancing an element found there. These interventions took various different forms. They enhance elements found at the buildings or bring some new experiential moment or space to the table. None of the interventions are elaborate in their nature, but rather are more humble in their expressions, not meaning to draw more focus away from it’s host. The differentiating forms but consistent materiality are meant to unify the buildings so they read as one element, unified in their identity as industrial heritage monuments of the neighbourhood. The bright colour and sometimes stark forms are meant to act as small beacons bringing visitors closer, with the hope that they are drawn to see and experience the larger structure and what it offers to the public or visitors inside.
