Abstract

A Backdrop to Life entails the ideas for implementing interactive spaces, pedestrian linkages, reconnection to the river and city engagement. From previous analysis, we found that agriculture, art, culture and the river are all vital pieces to the Ripollet and Cerdanyola neighborhoods. Our goal was to implement the idea of turning backs into fronts through materiality and passive devices. The design promotes a cohesive solution that is flexible, adaptive and sustainable. It responds to the existing problems stated by the people and builds positive experiences. We wanted to bring attention to the spaces that might be missed or were underdeveloped. We did this through creating a pedestrian pathway alongside the railway and the N-150 leading to the River Sec to serve as a promenade that links the separate areas of interventions that will tie together as one. These separate areas of interventions we have categorized as phases, that will theoretically hope to transition the forgotten neighborhood into a memorable one.
