Provençals Transit hub is situated in Barcelona’s 22@ district, one of the last parts of the Cerda grid within the city center, being transformed to a more contemporary urban tissue. The project primarily deals with the new mobility model. Advanced infrastructure networks and nodes within this system will be the base and footprint for the design of the hub. The context of the building will provide parameters (i.e. transportation statistics) that influence the design. The different programs including the transit hub are then evaluated according their context and relation within the envelope using a parametric design approach. The result is a building that anticipates an answer to the necessity of a knowledge economy, covering an urban renovation strategy.
