David Bravo Salva in Refurbishment of an Urban Wall on Barcelona

This dividing wall is located in one of the new urban spaces of Barcelona. This space is the result of covering an urban highway. The wall turns into an spectator of exception of the day-to-day live of the neighbourhood and its untidy presence was not accompanying on the harmony of the zone, creating a necessity of designing something to integrate the wall into the urban environment. The aim of the project is in one hand to continue the sequential logic of the urban elements. The project tries to integrate chromaticaly with the materials of the environment to be balanced with the urban space surrounding. All the ideas are materialized in a sequential of wood strips that creates a filter over de nude wall. The wall transforms it self in the ground level and the load brick behind appears to dialog with the ground. It turns into a grey colour to fusion with the sidewalk. This fact creates two different parts, the base and the body, one hard and grey and the other light and in wood.
