AALU STAFF FIRST PRIZE: CALES URBANES, ALFREDO RAMIREZ

Alfredo Ramirez (Groundlab), Clara Oloriz and Felipe Garcia have won an ideas competition for the regeneration of the Av. Barcelona in Miami Platja, Catalonia. The project encompasses an area of over 90,000 m2 of linear public network along the length of the avenue.

The proposal Cales Urbanes recovers the concept of ramble to reconnect the coastline with the city through a braided network of greenery, open space, pathways, cycle paths, transport system and public programme, integrating an infrastructural landscape that harvests and recycles water while working as a storm water drainage system, creating, maintaining and managing the project.
