1 – INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this agreement is the collaboration between the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in order to support and promote the Master’s Program in Landscaping in the semesters corresponding to the Year 2017, 2nd semester of the 2017-2018 academic year.

The Convention seeks good technical cooperation and financial support for the Master’s Degree in Landscaping to ensure the achievement of a good educational level for students, which responds to current social needs, in an emerging professional field such as landscaping .

The Master’s program will include the organization of one workshop that will deal with the metropolitan isues in relation with territorial structures and the appreciation of the landscape itself, addressing thematic and locations proposed by the AMB. This publication describes and documents the development and result of the workshop corresponding to the 2nd semester of the 2017-2018 academic year.

2 – WORKING SITE The main objective of the course is to study the relationship between the municipality of Cornellà de Llobregat and its natural environment: the Llobregat River and its closest cultivatable land called “The Baix Llobregat Agricultural Park”, according to the term: CITY - GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE - AGRICULTURE. During this semester, students will work on different scales of a landscape projects, starting from a large field of study to successively bring the scale down to define more specific and detailed proposals.

The workshop is based on a document named “Eixos Verds d’Estructura Urbana” (Green Axes of Urban Structure) provided by the Council of Cornellà de Llobregat, and some different concepts developed in an exhibition called “Metròpolis Verda” (Green Metropolis). The first one is a strategic review of the structural improvement of public space in Cornellà de Llobregat through the transformation of several axes. The second one is an approach lead by AMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Area) that shows metropolitan area’s reality from every viewpoint and defines the main ideas which should regulate the configuration of our public space.

So, the workshop will redefine and improve the relationship between Cornellà de Llobregat, the Llobregat River and the cultivatable land, but also developing three main aspects: the improvement of BIODIVERSITY (by means of topographic design, rainwater treatment and new green-infrastructure’s design), CONNECTIVITY (physical and ecological, by means of the design of a new public space) and PRODUCTIVITY (as a key condition of new landscape of XXIth Century). All these three concepts have a common objective: the sustainable development of our cities.

3 – EXERCISE STATEMENT

Redefiniendo la relación entre naturaleza y ciudad.

LOCATION & CONDITIONS The analysis of the improvement of the relationship between city and its natural environment must take into account all the multiple existing handicaps on the area:

Oblique photography

The big interchange Station (Transport Hub) The area includes an important Interchange Station between commuter trains (FF.GG.), Metro and Trambaix (tramway). It is doubtlessly one of the main development poles of the city, and must be taken into account in the urban analysis, so that each group can improve and integrate it into their own Masterplan proposal.

City Centre Cornellà de Llobregat’s City Centre has been located around St. Mary’s Church since the Roman Period. This primal centre was known as “La Sagrera” of Cornellà de Llobregat (a “sacred” area in the Middle Ages located around a temple that Catholic Church protects from any kind of violence or attack). The Masterplan must consider the relation Profesor titular the Llobregat ENRIC BATLLE between the old town, River and agricultural areas as a priority.

Current Public Space Systems. Streets, squares and parks Like any consolidated area of every city, the study area has different existing public spaces such as streets, squares and parks. All these spaces must be integrated, but also can be improved or even transformed, in the context of each Masterplan proposal.

17

New Housing Development At the same time, the study area has an existing Planning (known as ARE from its Catalan acronym) for a future housing development that must be analysed, but also should be reconfigured.

Metropolitan Infrastructures Infrastructures have a strong presence in the study area, that obstruct the relation between the city and its closest natural environment. Different infrastructures such as a highway or a railway run parallel to the Llobregat river and have become real barriers in the territory.

Green infrastructures We can find different green infrastructures with great ecological & social possibilities: - - -

The Llobregat river: runs from west to east and becomes the south limit of the study area.

The “The Baix Llobregat Agricultural Park” (agricultural area) located at the south of Cornellà de Llobregat.

The current Public Space System of the city.

Water as a thematic thread Rainwater mangament & treatment (such as infiltration, purification, storage or control courses) must be taken into account in all Masterplan proposals.

Cornellà Natura project

SUBJECT ORGANIZATION The semester is divided into two parts in which students will work with different scales, from the biggest (Masterplan) to the smallest one (constructive details), in order to recover connectivity and to improve natural and social values of the area.

1st PART Competition The first part will be developed as a Landscape Design Competition with jury, organised by MBLandArch, in collaboration with AMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Area) and Cornellà de Llobregat City Council. It must be developed in pluridisciplinary teams of maximum three people, and it will be divided into two phases: 1st phase: proposal analysis The jury will evaluate previous studies of the area in terms of purposal analysis. Every team must demonstrate the knowledge of the area: its physical condition, problems and opportunities, by means of strong ideas (IDEAS FORCE) which will rely upon a previous idea of a global proposal (Masterplan).

2nd phase: Masterplan Based on the results of the 1st phase, each group must develop a Masterplan that defines a global strategy of intervention. The Masterplan must achieve the workshop objectives in order to restore the full values of the area: knowledge of topography, water dynamics & management, the improvement of biological corridors, the use of vegetation, and its itineraries and uses, keeping with three main concepts: CONNECTIVITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND BIODIVERSITY. 2nd PART Specific projects During the second part, students will develop (individually) the most representative areas of each Masterplan, working through different scales (general plan, sections, axonometries, details, images…) so that they will be able to materialise a real solution.

SUPPLIED DATA During the first lesson, where the exercise statements are exposed, a number of lectures about related subjects are also given: Introduction to the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) - Noemí Martínez, AMB.

1st PART - COMPETITION COMPETITION PURPOSES Besides the academic goals of this Landscape Design Studio II, this workshop has the determination of addressing its goals by exploring motivating methodologies for students and, at the same time, bringing them closer to the reality of the professional world. For this reason, the faculty team has decided to develop this first part of the course as a simulation of the protocol of a competition of ideas with jury intervention.

WORK GROUPS The working groups shall be made up of 3 students. Although there is the possibility of some variable groups depending on the arithmetic of the class. Multidisciplinary groups as well as groups of people of different nationalities will be taken into consideration.

JURY The jury will be made up of Landscape Design Studio II faculties, the representatives of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) and technical specialists from the City Council of Cornellà de Llobregat. The weighted assessment of all jury members will proclaim the winning proposal.

PROCEDURE The first phase of the competition will evaluate the previous studies through an assertive analysis demonstrating the knowledge about the place: its physical reality, problems and opportunities. The starting point will be from the strength ideas leading to a previous idea of global intervention (Masterplan), always keeping in mind the concepts: BIODIVERSITY, CONNECTIVITY and PRODUCTIVITY. During this first phase, a visit to the site will be made jointly with the workshop faculties. There will be also a work session at class before the delivery.

Students exposing their work in front of the jury

COMPETITION DEVELOPMENT The proposal submission will consist of a single panel DIN-A1 vertical orientation, (according to the file provided) serving as a sufficiently explicit graphical documentation of the Project. A successful proposal panel must address the following: • MOTTO + MEMORY: explanation of the assertive analysis and the STRENGHT IDEAS. • PROPOSITIVE SCHEMES where it is clearly understood how the concepts of BIODIVERSITY, CONNECTIVITY and PRODUCTIVITY will be applied.

• PREVIOUS SCHEME OF MASTERPLAN: as a summary of the ideas strength.

SITE VISIT Once all the information and explanatory talks are given, the students, in their corresponding groups, start the first phase of work. During this first period, the groups have the opportunity to visit the area of study, in order to deepen its knowledge and analysis before the exposure to the rest of the groups.

VISIT TO THE EXHIBITION “METRÒPOLIS VERDA” The Metropolis Green exhibition “Metròpolis verda” brings us closer to the territory from a new perspective.

Open spaces are all spaces that are mostly unbuilt and not occupied for properly urban activities. Although the urban activity is developed by the whole city in a diverse way depending on the type of space, the territorial planning defines the ground as urban or non-urban and classifies the different uses.

The exhibition contributes, in this sense, to a new perspective of the city: it is not just a set of buildings and streets, and, ultimately, cement and asphalt, but rather a sustainable territory that also includes urban and non-urban green spaces, so that all of them make up a connected green infrastructure that brings environmental, social and even economic values to the metropolis.

1st phase: proposal analysis The jury will evaluate previous studies of the area in terms of analysis proposals. Every team must demonstrate the knowledge of the area: its physical condition, problems and opportunities, by means of strong ideas (IDEAS FORCE) which will rely upon a previous idea of a global proposal (Masterplan).

Biodiversity

Preserve and increase the beodiversity of anphibians, birds, roders, isencts, mammals and fish.

The agricultural of Cornellà area had decreased a lot and fragmented fragmented, caused by the urban growth and the creation of metropolitan roads.

Over time, the relation between the city, agriculture and nature, has been defined by a strong limit, not only functional but also visual and created borders between them, that affect the life of the people, animals and vegetation.

The analysis starts with a question ¨how ends the cities? ¨ and ¨Why exist such borders? ¨ after seeing a photograph of the area we saw that there are two borders well marked. one that separate the river from agriculture, and agriculture area from the city. It's a scale of land organization, nature-agriculture-city.

And one more question appear ¨Why they don't mix? ¨ So we decide to connect that three areas and break the limits. Why not?

We want to show how we can live with these three areas at the same time and how increase biodiversity, connect the people and create profitability in the same place.

el projecte parteix de la idea del de Master Plan de recusir la identitat de la Ciutat de Cornellà amb l’espai agricola fins arribar al Parc Natural del Riu Llobregat, potenciant els conceptes de Conectivitat, Biodiversitat i Productivitat.

Partitn d’aquesta base i degut a l’estudi de la Topografia del lloc es planteja una Conectivitat des de la Plaça de l’Església de Cornella fins arribar al Parc Natural. L’aprofitament de les Aigües Pluvials des de l’inici d’aquest recorr egut a la plaça fins arribar als espais verds garanteix l’aflorament de la Biodiversitat i la continuitat Biologica al llarc de tot l’àmbit.

La Vegetació es divideis en tres àmbits , segons la zona on estroba. Primerament la vegetació urbana, al llarg del Carrer peatolalitzat de forma continua i alhora funcionat com a captador i primer filtre de netega. Posteriorment en arribar a l’espai Natural les balses de laminació permeten la depuració de les aigues pluvials creant alhora Biòtops. L’aigua obtinguda serveix TOPOGRAPHY per al regadiu dels camps agricoles augmentant la Productivitat de la zona.

El ultimo punto pero no menos importante es la entrada del espacio del tipo bosque, aprovechando los taludes de la via y el espacio sin utilidad entre las infraestruturas, lo intensifiqué con ensinas y pinus para atraer fauna potencial desta comunidad y deste modo crear el circulo de la vida.

Partindo del camino anterior, el acero que una vez más nos guia en una puente sobre una lagunda con diversidad de fauna y flora de manera a tener una visión más dentro del biotopo esta puente nos lleva à una experiencia más entre los bosque generados por la pendiente, pero en una estrutura en acero elevado devido la escorrentía de agua.

Entre urbano parte de la potencialización de las calles y parques con agricultura y biodiversidad. La calle de Sant Boi será convertida en una calle que potencializa los peatones el convivio entre la gente y la agricultura con canales laterales que colectan agua de las calles dirigindo para un reservatório y después es armazenada y utilizada para el riego del cultivo. En el passeo dels Ferrocarrils Catalanes se extiende la rambla con cultivo de naranjos. Las dos calles nos lleva al borde donde apresenta una cota más alta y para esto los cultivos elegidos para está area son que necesitan de poca agua como el garbanzo, cacahuele con altura que ronda entre 20-50cm. El encontro entre las duas generan una plaza entre la area urbana y agricola. Con dos puntos de deposito para el riego, con captación de agua subterranea.

El camino que nos lleva al parc agricula es seguido por acero cortén que nos lleva primero a una plantación de olivos.

El paso existente fue ampliado para 15 metros de paso de manera que la fauna sea invitada a cruzar con materiales de cubiculo como madera y piedras, por fin entre las infraestruturas el camino en acero se convierte una vez más en canal entre los humedales secos que nos encamina hasta el río.

8 – CONFERENCE CYCLE MBLandArch At the same time as the workshop development, a series of conferences were organized. The subject matter, as well as the professional activity and origin of the speakers, has been very diverse and multidisciplinary, with the aim of widening the vision of the students about our profession and listening to other points of view on different subjects.

These conferences held every two weeks have been very well received and attended by the public.

ROUND TABLES

79

At the same time, in the subject “Landscape Composition I” three round tables were organized in order to deal with three current and specific topics in in 21st Century’s public space: 1-Waterscapes 2-Productivityscapes 3-Mobilityscapes Professionals and academic experts of recognized standing explained their own experiences, in order to create a rewarding debate that stimulates the students to start thinking about new landscape paradigmes in 21st Century.

1-WATERSCAPES Our society is becoming more and more conscious about the importance of water as a natural resource. As landscape architects, we must have the ability to manage it in our projects and designs, and must be capable to choose the appropriate solution in every situation: collecting, cleaning, accumulating and reusing it, or simply controlling its strength (devastating in some cases), especially in Mediterranean hydrological regime.

LANDSCAPE COMPOSITION I

WATERSCAPES IN THE 21st CENTURY “Waterscales”

“Water cycle in urban landscape”

“Natural treatment in ornamental water”

Mr. Iván Sánchez Fabra

Mr. Roberto Soto

Mr. Ignasi Pujol-Xicoy

Landscape Director at Batlle i Roig Architects

Architect. Municipal Institute of Urban Planning

CEO at ARAGRUP S.L.

Iván Sánchez Fabra: “WATERSCALES” Rainwater helps us to re-think and re-design our cities in order to improve their environment quality. He went trough different scales, “from satellite to loupe”: from bigger one (land-use planning) to medium (topographic modelling) and smaller scales (like the design of different elements that help us to enjoy the landscape). Water has become a great ally that all landscape architect must deal with.

Roberto Soto: “WATER CYCLE IN URBAN LANDSCAPE” Water is essential for live, but we often underestimate its really importance and we do not keep on mind while designing in public space. We usually look at it as a problem that must be knocked out of the way. We prefer to look at it from a distance, instead of as a natural resource. The truth is that rainwater is not a problem but an opportunity. It exists very long time before cities and we do not take advantage of it. We do not respect water cycle, life cycle in a holistic point of view.

Ignasi Pujol-Xicoy: “NATURAL TREATMENT IN ORNAMENTAL WATER” Water is a source of biodiversity that improves landscape projects. In addition, wetlands increase dioxide carbon fixation, which ameliorate our natural environment. We will discuss about water treatment and how can be used in public spaces, trying to focus in real projects.

2-PRODUCTIVITYSCAPES Design, management and conservation of productive landscapes is essential in new paradigm in landscape in 21st Century. It’s really important to promote local farming (cityFARM) in order to supply cities with natural local products.

We must protect our productive landscapes, not only for zero-food-miles, but also for its great social, cultural and identity value, essential for a sustainable development of our cities. Moreover, productivity also means new energy resources and less maintenance, and these thing should be included in our designs from the very beginning.

Sónia Callau-Berenguer: “AGRICULTURAL PARKS AND FOOD GOVERNANCE MOVING TOWARDS AGRO-URBAN SYSTEMS” The intersection between urban planning and food has aroused a growing interest in the past few years in the areas of research and policy. Extensive literature is devoted to food systems, alternative food networks and food planning. Much of this literature emphasises consideration of food on a local scale and the importance of using food to reconnect the city with its agricultural periphery. The main arguments in favour of this new paradigm are food security and food self-sufficiency and sustainable and resilient development of cities. However, food production in the rural-urban fringe is still threatened, and calls into question the sustainability per se of local systems. A rapidly emerging vision with significant support amongst professional planners and local communities is the integration of food issues in urban planning. This presentation proposes a new methodology for urban planning in relation to cities’ nearest agricultural area and agro-urban planning systems. The conclusion is drawn that sustainable food systems are only possible if urban planning incorporates the food vector and only if done so from a systemic interpretation of the rural-urban relationship.

Raimon Roda i Noya: Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat: A METROPOLITAN ECONOMIC AREA SPECIALISED IN FOOD PRODUCTION” In the Llobregat Delta, there is one of the oldest and most fertile agricultural zones in the country: a cultural, economic and ecological heritage of the highest order located in the middle of the most populated area of Catalonia. Preserving and promoting agricultural uses and their natural environment is an investment of the future that contributes to the improvement of the quality of life for all citizens.

Luis Maldonado: “BEFORE AND AFTER AGRICULTURE” The story of the approach from Landscape Architecture to Agriculture and Forestry at the academia could also be seen as the display of a new urban mind-set and the shift from space to food as common flux linking them. The presentation will shortly summarise that ongoing process to explain the foundation of our current Research by Design work to shape 21st century landscapes in an increasing urban world.

3-MOBILITYSCAPES those “not-so-new” sustainable (and healthy) models of mobility that work out really well with society as a collective, have come to stay. And different political from local, regional and national administrations prove that. Little by little, they are re-designing new mobility planning in order to add those new ways of moving. Landscape designs for the 21st Century must improve pedestrian connections and sustainable mobility beyond private transport. New spaces for relations between citizens must be created.

Xavier Nogués: “MOBILITY & PUBLIC SPACE” The development of mobility in the last century brought the disappearance of the street as a place for social activities, mostly occupied by cars. In order to change this tendency, public administrations are encouraging new politics in sustainable mobility. One of the most important one is the bicycle as a means of transport. The insertion of cycle lanes is modifying the street as a public space. We must take advantage of this opportunity to rethink our cities.

Sílvia Casorrán: “IS SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY CHANGING OUR URBAN LANDSCAPES? THE CASE OF SUPERBLOCK IN POBLENOU”.

We all have been born and also live in cities ruled by motorize vehicles. They belong to our concept of urban landscape. To our ancestors, car possession was a symbol of status, and even nowadays most of us cannot live without a car, or at least, we cannot get rid of it in our daily mobility. But individual ownership of cars is ancient history: the space is limited, quality of the air is getting worse and the speed that cars offer to us has no sense in cities… Are we all citizens, specialists and politicians ready for #postcarcity?

Jordi Galí: “FROM CAR URBANCIDE TO BICYCLE URBANGENESIS” Bicycle has reappeared as a means of transport in cities in the 21st Century. But we should go further and start thinking about the cities of the future, where bicycle will have a deep and transversal key roll in mobility that cars had in cities of the last century. We need to build up the idearium of the perfect (and utopian) new city as it was made with automobile cities in the first half of the 20th century. Car killed the city and even worse, we still depend on it. It’s necessary to “bici-vilize” the city and the society of the 21st century. It’s necessary to visualize the “Velotopia”.

The landscape architecture is interested in all the exterior spaces and, from the design of public space that Barcelona has projected to the world, we have returned to look at the large scale and we have incorporated the language of ecology.

In relation to the large scale, landscape architecture is related to geography, land management, social sciences and all urban decisions that, day by day, build the reality of our cities.

Ecology, biology, agronomy, the different environmental sciences and the various landscape engineering projects are all part of the decisions we make, from the most global to the most local, from those most related to environmental problems to the most simple ideas that we can use in the conservation, restoration, or construction of our landscape.

This multi-disciplinary and trans-scalar vision, which is typical of landscape architecture, is also built without renouncing the capabilities of the world of art and architecture that have traditionally nurtured our profession and which have been so brilliantly developed by the School of Architecture of Barcelona.

Enric Batlle, Director del MBLandArch
