STEP 00

BARCELONA’S natural growth

/

The city is characterized by an excess
of people (density) citizens, tourists, workers
of money (high prices) for living, renting, working
thus becoming stressful and unaffordable
As a response, it tends to grow
towards decentralized areas
(as it did with Poblenou area)

STEP 00

SANT ADRIÀ DEL BESÒS’ potential

/
Well connected mobility infrastructure
in-development enhancing the river’s potential
the strategy taken here is not to substitute but to occupy
the existing industrial building
(ecological thinking)

STEP 01

/
The factory is kept “as it is” both space and use
A new parasite is placed on top of the industrial building
as a skin optimized to get solar radiation
the energy it is transformed, stored and later sold
producing a high money income.
there is no contact between
parasitenew-oldfactory

STEP 02

/
Once the envelope is completed, its starts generating money
by selling energy to externals.
The factory is now occupied:
space mantained use changed
The industrial activity is moved to the parasite (together with offices and housing)

and the existing building becomes now a reclaim to attract people.

STEP 03

/
The money income from the external sells (envelope),
startup offices, industry, housing… (moneymaker interior)
and the events (factory building)
are reinvested to build the in-between space,
so that the leisure landscape is not only the linear void,
but it ties together the building in all directions (cross-shape)

STEP 04

/
The building as a city within a city.
skin gets solar radiation
skin-interior acumulates energy
interior business, housing, industry, retail
in-between existing-new leisure in the park
industrial building social-civic
