Cruise Terminal-BCN 361 Prototype Workshop

In this workshop with Edouard Cabay we have been working developing a structural strip made of parts able to morph into the different parts of an Arc (based on their structural properties, keystone and voussoir mainly) modifying the angle of each one. The entire structure will work in three main concepts, Morph (each strip piece), Strech (several pieces to create curves) and Push (entire structure).

The prototype we built during the workshop its manually modified to achieve different arcs depending on the angle of each “keystones” that generates the strip. The next step is to connect a longer-improved surface to a force able to move it and be responsive to the different inputs (flows) through sensors connected to an arduino board and a database.

Cruise Terminal Barcelona

Based on a investigation on social networking related to tourism, specifically from cruise passengers, we got some conclusions, there is an existing lack of connectivity to the city (only one way and crowded the times in use), waste of time from cruise passengers trying to reach the city even when they have only  a few hours to enjoy, a significant percentage of passengers that stays on the cruise-port, long non apt walkable distances.  The result of this is to design a new terminal based on mobility systems existing in a new grid responsive to interests of people, the design respond basically to flows, movement and spaces, there is a first approach to a basic module that try to achieve all parameters of design. Graphics showing the position of the cruise terminal related with the network of the city and the incoming passengers, in summary we gathered types of user related to their mobility preferences, our first approach, open new ways to get into the city network, Montjuic and the Beach.
