All rights reserved.Photo by AWRA CITY ON THE SEABarcelona began life as a settlement on a gentle slope leading down to the sea, which allowed it to expand unimpeded. The Llobregat and Bess rivers provided water, while the combination of mountains and the Mediterranean made for a wonderful climate.However,thesea-levelcityhadlittletoattractshipping,asitdidnot have a natural harbour like Genoas Porto Vecchio or Marseille.The coastal waters also generated a constant build-up of sand.Thecoastalareaneededprotectionanddeeperwaterstoprovide access for ships and goods.The citys inhabitants understood the importance of having a port and battled to create one.SPAIN BARCELONA234Site AreaSite AreaMirador de ColomLa RablaRonda LitoralRambla de MarSITE AREA **Site area is located inside of Port Vell.Port Vell is a waterfront harbor in Barcelona and part of the Port of Barcelona. It was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Before this, it was a run-down area of empty warehouses, railroad yards, and factories. Now it is a focal point of the city and tourists attraction, containing the Maremgnum (a mall containing shops, a multiplex cinema, bars and restaurants), IMAX Port Vell and Europes largest aquarium. A pedestrian walkway, Rambla de Mar, connects La Rambla to Port Vell.It incorporates a swing bridge, in order to allow ships to enter and exit the harbor.This area represents a strategic point to place a temporary pavilion, which will be a functional area for tourism but also for the citizens of Barcelona.5site area1.700 sqm6site area1.700 sqm78FUNCTIONAL PROGRAM *
