Magora – A Magnetic Agora

Our design requirements involved defining our own program and choosing from two very different sites in the city of Barcelona to implement our ideas .

In order to define our project we looked at various aspects of current environment – from political, to economical as well as philosophical and physical.
Finally, we chose to work on Barcelona’s industrial area of Poblenou. Once a prosperous zone, the site in Pere IV has been severely affected by economical issues and is in a state of decay with high rates of unemployment, heavy pollution, and dying industries.

We decide to treat our design proposal as an infinite loop; where energy, matter , production and distribution at the same time follow an endless cycle.

Magora is about free off-the-grid clean energy, urban agriculture, cultural public spaces and cradle to cradle production.
