2nd Project

Finally over and needless to say our first experience at doing group work on urban planning actually went pretty well. But SOOOOO glad its over. So many problems came about ranging from the group work and the communication issues, narrow timing, and when you also throw a Spanish midterm into the equation, you begin to want to wonder if you've died and gone on the expressway to hell.

The Project – so looking at our site begin by starting to fill in the blocks of our proposed section of Plaza Glories. We were split up into four groups of three where we were to use the emotive knowledge learned in the previous project while also applying the raw analysis collected from the site to create proposed footprints for the new blocks surrounding the plaza. The project which has taken the city 10 years to develop we were suppose to do in two week. RIGHT !!! So our approach after digesting the city was to create a desperately needed art center for the city with the introduction of modern museums the introduction of a green space, and even proposed graffiti walls all the while keeping with our original idea of keeping human scale.
In this diagram we divided the district into what was important art style areas of the site. Purple - Eixample (architecture), Pink - theaters (musical arts), Red - industrial (graffiti art), Orange - Poblenou (media/new age arts), Green - green space corridor.

And the final product...
