C / DE PALLARS + C/ D PERE IV BARCELONA, SPAIN
OCT. - DEC. 2015
CRITIC // MARK COTTLECOURSE // ARCH 4011
This project from the Barcelona International Studio addresses the problem of the urban corner where Barcelona’s Eixample meets the pre-Eixample order of Carrer de Pere IV. The one hundred unit extended-stay hotel continues and echoes the urban archetypes of Pere IV and Poblenou - the perimeter block building as wall, and the warehouse structure as roof. At the intersection of the two archetypes, a third structure introduces the contained courtyard. The shared space of the central Eixample block courtyard is reinterpreted for the corner lot with a public entry plaza on grade, and controlled access to an open basement level below. In keeping with the three distinct structures, three room types respond to the focus of their respective locations.
An examination of the urban in� uence of Carrer de Pere IV and adjacent building typologies within the block.
