I had hoped this humble piece of landscaping would offset the macho structures just inland and show how female architects can outshine by taking a different tack but despite some subtley dynamic concrete seats that unfold out of a concrete wall most of the decking is thin gruel for the brain. A series of pontoons reach into a thin stretch of water protected from the Mediterranean by a riot of huge concrete blocks, with a skeletal spine marking a boundary with the Auditoria Park just inland.

Forum Building
Rather severe building with rough dark blue lavaesque treatment to facades spiced up with cut-outs and jerky glazed strips. These strips are striated with mirrors trying to reduce the weight of the ‘floating blue cheesecake’.

Either side of the sweeping valleys are grassy areas with huge clumps of bamboo. The tessellated discs are in two earthy colours – duller than the visuals suggested sadly.

Parc lineal La Sagrera
A new green diagonal axis is extended into the core of Barcelona thanks to the burial of the existing railways. This new public space is a means to connect the sea, the city and its natural surroundings.

Converting the Barcelona football stadium into a 26-hectare park is the proposal of a smart office to renature the cities. The ON-A architecture studio opens the debate to the possible renaturation of urban areas to adapt to the needs of the post-covid future.
