Description
- A superblock is created by merging existing urban blocks , resulting in increased pedestrian and car-free spaces within this larger block. The vehicular movement occurs at the edges of the superblock.
- The superblocks are being implemented using the existing Eixample grid in Barcelona.
- The superblock at Sant Antoni is part of a second-generation design of this concept called green axes.
- Main themes of this superblock are flexibility and modularity.
- Triangulated graphical designs painted on the ground, signify level of pedestrian activity and define areas where the movable street furniture can be placed.
- The urban furniture has been designed as a modular system using similar modules to that of the graphical signage. They consist of eco-beams, seating and hydro planters.
- Sustainable measures such as water storage in the planters and using furniture with an ecological certificate have been implemented.
- This superblock provides an important pedestrian connection to the nearby Mercat de Sant Antoni , a historical market hall.
