The main aim of the project was to integrate the urban space surrounding the Estaci\u00f3 de Fran\u00e7a <\/em>Train Station and the old Baluard del Migdia<\/em> into the pedestrian network of Barcelona\u2019s Old Town. This intervention will allow the connection of two neighbourhoods in the centre of town – the Ribera and the Barceloneta neighbourhoods- that historically were disconnected at this point. 2017_FINALIST_CATALUNYA CONSTRUCTION AWARDS \/ 2017_SELECTED_FAD AWARDS \/ 2016_SELECTED_ IX INTERNATIONAL BIENNIAL OF LANDSCAPE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nOn the other hand, the existence of the archaeological remains of the old Baluard del Migdia<\/em>, the sea ramparts and the counterscarp built at the beginning of the 18th<\/sup> century configure a new urban landscape. The project encompasses and resolves the environs of the old Baluard (ramparts), creating a viewing balcony and a ramp with access limited to occasional visit. The archaeological findings determined that the sea came in to this point in the 3rd<\/sup> century and that it was possible to navigate here until the 15th<\/sup> century when a breakwater was built. The land gained ground from the sea and in this area the Baluard del Migdia<\/em> and the sea wall were built between the 17th<\/sup> and 19th<\/sup> centuries.
\nThe intervention recuperates the archaeological ensemble of the old maritime front, exhibits the lower level of the existing trench between the sea walls and, simultaneously, creates an urban space around the perimeter.
\nThe area next to the old Estaci\u00f3 de Fran\u00e7a<\/em> Train Station incorporates an extensive area planted with trees with white blossom and zones with benches and draining paving and sub-bases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
