This project is distinguished by considering a site area which includes part of two municipalities: Barcelona and Sant Adrià del Besòs. As a direct result of this feature, the sector has been formed by two independent criteria, which differed according whether they were from Barcelona or from Sant Adrià. That is why the proposal seeks to deal the project as a zip through the street that, like a hinge, creates a border between the two cities. The aim is to achieve a connections in the senses sea-mountain and Barcelona-Sant Adrià, by using the proper organization of activity nodes, green areas and public transport points.
Dicho proyecto se singulariza por la consideración de un ámbito de emplazamiento que engloba parte de dos municipalidades: Barcelona y Sant Adrià del Besòs. Como consecuencia directa de esta característica, el sector se ha formado siguiendo unos criterios no unificadores, los cuales se diferenciaban en función de la administración que los gestionaba. Por ello, la propuesta intenta abordar el proyecto a modo de cremallera, buscando la calle que a modo de bisagra hace frontera entre ambas ciudades. El objetivo es lograr unas conexiones en sentido mar-montaña y Barcelona-Sant Adrià mediante la correcta organización de actividades, las zonas verdes y los pequeños nodos de transporte público.

The project in question is generated from a qualitative analysis of public space and presents an original proposal for the viari benefit of the road system at the end of the old Cuenca. The formal proposal presents a direct relationship between the volume element Horizontal Box and slope of the land. Such that the horizontal suspension Box allows connection of existing public space with the new lower viewpoint. Note the importance of contact with the ground from a specific point in the item box, and three volumes of less direct use to the public, Bar-Athenian, the entrance hall and upper hall acts.
El proyecto en cuestión se genera a partir de un análisis cualitativo del espacio público original y presenta una propuesta en beneficio a la articulación del sistema vial al final del casco antiguo de Cuenca. La propuesta formal plantea la relación directa entre el elemento volumétrico Horizontal Caja y la inclinación del terreno. De tal manera que la suspensión horizontal de la Caja permite la conexión del espacio público existente con el nuevo mirador inferior. Cabe destacar la importancia del contacto con la planta baja a partir de un punto concreto en el elemento caja, y tres volúmenes inferiores de uso directo con el ciudadano; El Bar-Ateneo, El Vestíbulo de acceso superior y la Sala de actos.

The concept focuses on the cover as a illumination, structural support and unique space through a precast concrete triangular mesh. The cover member comes into contact with the ground, generates the stands to complement the future Bar and keep horizontally to allow lateral permeability for future interventions.
