IAAC MAA 2010: Design Studio I, Barcelona O Emissions BLOG
Team members: Andrena Papantoniou, Carolina Libardi, Erina Filipovska In order to achieve environmental improvements and propose changes on the pollution issue of Barcelona, it was very important to understand the main generators of CO2 emissions and the roll of the urban vegetation. For this reason, we focused on the calculation of the overall CO2 emissions [...]
PUBLIC SPACES STUDIO I analyzed public spaces per categories, non places, municipal markets, parks, plazas and ramblas establishing relations and connections by an analysis of 10 minutes walking distance from each subject. After that I checked a large horizontal surface such as the Gran Via de Carles III and performed an analysis about solar insolation [...]
From social layer mapping to Community Farming zones – Horta Nou Barris La clota The Process The zone assigned to us consists of parts of two barrios Horta-guinardo, Nou barris and covers the neighbourhoods of Horta, la Guineueta, Can Reguera, El Turo de la peira, Porta, Vilapicina I la Torre Llobeta, La font d’en Fargues. [...]
Trees relationship to their surrounding environment (buildings) have always been an external one. So, what I propose is to integrate the tree’s complexity in producing energy, via leaf’s, into an applicable skin structure that will help morph an existing building into an energy efficient building. These skin structures would adapt to the energy needs of [...]
The proposal studies the transport according to the polution produced and the capacity of charge (passenger or goods). Only two variables of data shape the maps. For polution the variable is the fuel spent by each way of transport, measured in L/Km/Person. For mobilty the variable is the quantity of People x 1000/Day trasported. With [...]
A1.Antonio_Atripaldi ANALISYS: CO2 EMISSIONS BY TRAFFIC My analisys is focused on localazing the most critical point for the CO2 emissions in the air given by the traffic on the streets. I considered the most busy street of the neighborhood – the Ronda del Guinardò – simulating the variations of the emissions produced by a single [...]
Barrio 21 SARRIA,PEDRALBES,TIBIDADO,COLLSERROLA,LES PLANES
A study of the areas of Pedralbes, Sarria, and El Tibidabo: When thinking of a zero emission Barcelona, one must first study, analyze and quantify emission. The mapping exercise in this area helps us quantify electricity consumption per square meter in both buildings and plots based on their function or functions. Most importantly it analyzes [...]
The idea was to compare the residential density with amenity density and derive a relation that exists between them in the barrio. This study becomes very important because it was observed that there was a varying concentration of amenities and resident in different areas of the barrio. Also in order to achieve O emission, the [...]
