Green Bypass

The project proposal for the El Guinardo site focuses on preserving the existing greenspace, providing a connection passage, and creating a point of interest for the neighborhood of El Guinardo.

The project aims to reprogrammed the site as a passage that will facilitate an organic and interactive urban experience for residents, tourists, children and companion animals. Overall, this passage will become a socially interactive node that merges the traditional use of public space within the local context and modern lifestyle.

The module development focused on three different modules; Module A: the platforms, Module B: the supports and Module C: the market. Module A: the platform, are also organized in a hierarchical matter, primary, secondary, and tertiary, and are assigned based on the function. The different platforms were placed strategically across the site to optimize support from the cliff as well as optimize the distance between the two main entrances to create the bypass. The platforms are flat circles that will rest upon module b: the supports.
