Phase One of Urban Planning Project

Ben, Bob, and I created an approach for the basic massing of the blocks surrounding the proposed renewal of Placa Glories. Using the Cerda block plan as a starting point and working within the guidelines set forth by the town council for square meters and preservation of certain existing facades, we worked to improve the perception of the area as an urban enclave, solve the present complexity, recognize the green corridor of the city, and create a singular space that improves the current fragmented nature of Placa Glories. Therefore, we felt it necessary to define a new urban edge and establish a unified center of Barcelona.
