There are three major force present at this portion of Poblesec: the harbor, the Parc de Montjuic, and the old city of Barcelona. Each have drastically different characteristics in terms of density, usage, and traffic/access. We would like to bring together these 3 zones at the point of convergence, taking full advantage of the sea front, the mountain, and the city. The volume cuts through the structure fractures and shears inside the exisiting building, creating many ramps that are quite dense to create a visual screen to separate the political and business area. The bridge itself houses mostly cultural programs, such as the library, research centers, exhibition spaces and also a restaurant. The park is now programmatically connected to the sea and the people from the city can access the harbor in an organized fashion.

SKIN WITH VARIOUS SHADES FOR LIGHT CONTROL


This project, located in Downtown LA, is developed through a series manipulation to a single surface to create volumes that house various programs. Most of the programs are arranged near the top of the building to allow an ample amount of daylight, which is moderated by a an operable louver system. A frosted glass light-well enables light to reach the center of the building, while also providing visibility between levels for gallery purposes. As with the top-heavy form, the bottom portions are corroded away to expand the sidewalk and invite public interaction with the project.
