A sealed concrete platform turns into a living coastal landscape
Barcelona is getting hotter and hotter. The coastal landscape of the Costa Maresme, which includes Barcelona, is characterized by concrete-covered beach promenades and concrete castles that seem to have lost their vitality. With our design, we want to break up the Plataforma Marítima as a relic of the concrete age and transform it into a lively coastal landscape. The basic shape of the platform will be modified and reduced in size. Asphalt, concrete, and various structural elements will be broken up, processed, sorted, and reassembled into differentiated coastal typologies. The result will be a diverse topographical and highly ecological coastal landscape that will continue to evolve and grow steadily.

Fragments are assembled into differentiated coastal typologies. Over time, a diverse topographical and ecologically valuable coastal landscape emerges, which continues to develop and grow steadily.

Plataforma Reviva
Flowering insect pastures of thyme and lavender cover the landscape, and habitats of pine and holm oak groves cool the air. Underwater, seagrass beds store carbon, and scattered corals shimmer through the water's surface.
