CONNECTIVENETWORK URBAN STRATEGY

In revitalizing the 22@ area, this district of an array of conditions strives to create an identity that can draw its surrounding context into a well integrated connected intersection. Through analysis and the overlay of natural landscape, Cerda’s grid, and contextual knowledge, a network of connection is made to bring together the groundscape and allow for a more active, accessible and permeable area. The existing conditions speak to the programmatic spaces that become distributed across the site and begin to engage each quadrant of activity. Through this intersection, integration is achieved not through a container of varying statics spaces but instead through a distributed set of multifunctional areas that supply the tools for gathering, educating and performing the public. This strategy incorporated both the manipulation of topography and modification of current circulation to prioritize pedestrian traffic and further promote a sense of connectivity within this area.

Current analysis of the site through the diagrammatic mappings shown above demonstrate the opportunity to overlay this information in order to focus on the lack of connectivity within the 22@ area and the need for better distributed circulation and activity. The left abstraction portrays the current problematic issues with the site while the right proposes a potential new strategy and reaction to creating a more cohesive connective network amongst these few blocks.

The main concept behind this project is to be able to access the road within the block circulation by means of a spiral directionality, so that several unique spaces are discovered amongst the site. The aim is to give importance to the entry to draw the most attention. Also, the proposal of a central module provides access to all such platforms at different heights (1.5 m, 4.5 m, 7.5 m, 10.5 m) also resolving handicap accessibility. This core module would operate as a bar/restaurant as well as any multifunctional purpose for those who sought to utilize the volume in another way.The creation of these places serve to provide space for street theater as it drives this project. This design allows for people inside watching a feature to also make visual connections to the exterior with ease. Therefore, the surfaces of the seats and the extent of the blocks are closely related. Finally, because of this idea of wanting to enter the street in and align to existing buildings, this directs the external facade of the project and the entire project to face inwards.

This creates new public, private and semi-covered spaces and a exibility allowed within the much larger facades that can play well with different volumes and sizes.

DIAGRAMMATIC IDEA

DIAGRAM OF CIRCULATION

DIAGRAM OF PLAZAS AND CIRCULATION

This drawing shows how the circulation is moving sequentially ascending creating a spiral movement. It rises around one central volume that functions as the axis of this project.

This drawing shows how the plazas circulate sequentially ascending creating a spiral movement stepping into different spaces. The idea was that each plaza introduces street art, the same as the interior would do. Then in each plaza, stairs were created so that people could ascend and be able to sit and view the performance. In each plaza a few various sensations relate in different ways with the volumes that surround them.

STEP 1: MOVEMENT

STEP 2: PLAZAS

Introduce this spiral movement around this central volume.

I have drawn the facades and the access points in each volume. So to the axon explodes into three parts. The ďŹ rst drawing shows the three ďŹ rst plazas. The plaza at ground level connects the central volume (the axis of the entire project) which is the bar/restaurant. It also connects the workshops and the main entrance of the big performance. In the second plaza (located 1.5m high) is connected with another access point of the bar/restaurant, another access point of the workshops and with the small performance. Finally, the third plaza connects with another entrance of the bar/restaurant and with the big performance but is utilized differently from the ground plaza. The other drawings show how the plaza connects with the artist dwellings. On the last plaza the youth center and apartments are located. Based on the arrangement of the plazas, there is a variety of distributed open and covered areas. Finally, the two views explain this distribution incorporating the different materials in this project that are basically concrete and ceramic.
