For the task 3 of Design Associativity, we started by taking the most important information about Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Badalona and Sant Andreu in Barcelona, which is the place where one of us is working for the studio Emergent Territories.
The task started with an analysis of what it’s happening in this area because of the physical division that the river Besos creates. We mention the problematic by statistics of facts that occur in both sides and then we selected a random data about the sound and took it for develop a specific project for this subject.
We mapped the levels of sound where we can see that the noise is higher than the standars recommended for health, which are between 40 and 75 dBA.
Our concept tries to create a physical platform made of sound where we can connect the highest points and build a pedestrian path that changes depending of the sound data in real time, according to the amount of people that are interacting in this area.
We translate the dBA data into a 3D surface and we run it in Galapagos to find what we think is the most optimun level for the people of this place, allowing them to escape from the noise, improving their pedestrian way to live.
