Year 3 Spring 2020 Group Project Professor: Miguel Roldan In the heart of Barcelona lies the Parc de la Cuitadella. To renovate the historic entrance facing El Born neighorhood, a shade was designed to create a plaza that welcomes visitors into the park. A community center was added underground, containing a library archiving Catalan culture, as well as gathering spaces to bring the entire neighborhood together.
