WATER SYSTEM AS A TERRITORIAL UNION: Enable the river in order to integrate it into the
urban network, providing it with various uses and good connections to the urban
framework.
KEEP THE CURRENT BV-2003 ROAD: The prohect respects the current street with the
objective of maintaining a good connection between Viladecans and Sant Climent
cores and decongesting urban development in the area of action. However, the
section of this streets is redesigned with the objective of arrange the road and planting
of greenery.
PROGRAM: Interrelation of a cultural and leisure-sports part with core in Can Molins; a
scientific-sport equipment with new facilities dedicated to training and physical activity,
and finally between these two points, a space for housing, commerce, rural
accommodation and community-level prodcution, which are based on sustainable
values.
Envuelto por una extensa zona forestal, se plantea la necesidad de mejorar la relación
del municipio con ésta para aprovechar todo su potencial ambiental, paisajístico y
productivo.
1. Can Molins as a link between Sant Climent today and what can be tomorrow,
followed by the river corridor; Connector of the two main container points of the
proposed program: Can Molins together with the new sports and cooperative
equipment.
2. New access road to the new territory, providing accessibility and topographic
adaptation over time based on agricultural or forestry terraces in space, which causes
semi-urban, semi-forestry and semi-agricultural scenarios as the third phase is
introduced.
3. Introduction of housing as the main program of the polis, capable of bringing new
inhabitants to the new sector. We propose a housing market that is capable of housing
different types of living.
TOPOGRAPHIC ADAPTATION: The project tries to adapt and take full advantage of the
topography of the place to optimize the sun and landscape vision of the entire sector.
1. Can Molins como nexo entre Sant Climent hoy y lo que puede ser mañana, seguido
del corredor fluvial: Conector de los dos puntos principales contenedores del
programa propuesto. Can Molins junto con el nuevo equipamiento deportivo y
cooperativo.
3: Environment / Strategies
The project aims to enhance the multifunctionality of its elements by interrelating them
from a holistic point of view. In this way it is intended to integrate forest, agricultural and
urban use in the environment, relating their products and their potential and creating
closed cycles.
Forest management: Once the forest has been analyzed, the project aims to carry out
forest management based on clearing of improvement, promoting hardwoods and
especially minority noble species. The objective is to have a healthy and robust mixed
pine forest with leafy trees in the long term. The mixture of this forest allows it to be more
resistant and resilient to climate change as well as obtain a diversity of products.
Agriculture: The project aims to maintain the initial agricultural use of the area, taking it
one step further, applying an agroforestry system. This combined agriculture allows the
integration of agricultural and forestry systems in the same space, increasing their
productivity and diversifying products.
Livestock: The project aims to modify its grazing area of existing horses by recovering
open areas (former areas of dry stone terraces that are currently forest), and promoting
silvopastoralism, which is favorable for fire prevention and the promotion of biodiversity
Additionally, the project aims to plant trees such as carob or rowan, the fruits of which
can serve as food for horses.
Urban space: The project promotes the realization of an urban plot integrated with the
environment. All with native species. On the other hand, the sustainable use of the
natural resources of the environment will also be promoted: good orientation of the
buildings, private and communal collection of rainwater, private and communal
gardens, promotion of a heating system based on forest resources of the area (pine
pellet or oak and oak wood) and may eventually build buildings with local wood. It will
bet on economies that promote local resources. Carpentry, agricultural cooperatives,
florists, etc.
Gestión forestal: Una vez analizado el bosque, el proyecto pretende realizar una
gestión forestal a base de claras de mejora potenciando las frondosas y
especialmente las especies nobles minoritarias. El objetivo es tener a largo plazo un
bosque mixto de pino carrasco sano y robusto con frondosas. La mixticidad de este
bosque permite que sea más resistente y resiliente al cambio climático así como
obtener una diversidad de productos.
