The transformation of the old Barracks of

Sant Andreu has made it possible to

incorporate two important areas of 5 and

6 Has in to the city. Drafting the

Modificació del Plan General Metropolità

a les Casernes de Sant Andreu i Sector III

(Modification of the Metropolitan General

Plan of Sant Andreu-Sagrera) document,

enables the future integration of those

areas within their own environment and

the city, the definition and zoning,

specifying areas for residential use,

public facilities and open spaces.

Two systems of public spaces, which

continue the urban structure of the

neighborhood, are proposed for the 11

Ha. To the West, a large park that

continues the pedestrian itineraries of

the urban fabric and is surrounded by

the library, the senior citizen center and

the residence hall. To the East, a

Boulevard with public facilities for the

neighborhood and district is arranged. In

the center, the residential area and

shops, concentrated along the Passeig

Torres i Bages, take the shape of a

powerful built front that relates the civic

scale of Sant Andreu to the Trinitat. This

front, with arcades and shops on the

ground floor and residential units on the

four upper floors, allows transverse flow

to the public facilities and green spaces

located on the lateral edges.

Interspersed among the public facility

fabric, the housing is arranged in

longitudinal bands, following the

alignment of the existing trees.

The project is developed from the

document of Criteria written by the

architect Manuel de Sola-Morales
