SQUAD PROJECTTHE SQUAD PROJECT REANALYSES THE CONCEPT OF THE A HIGHWAY AND/OR SPEEDS BY QUESTIONING ITS PRESENCE IN THE CITY. IN TODAYS HIGHWAY, IT SEEMS TO US AS IF PUBLIC SPACE AND ENERGY WERE ABSENT. IN FACT, THEY ARE. WE HAVE DECIDED TO INVADE THE RONDA LITORAL IN BARCELONA WITH PUBLIC SPACE AND ENERGY GENERATORS. THE IDEA IS THAT MANY SOLDIERS TAKE CONTROL AND START IMPLEMENTING THESE FUNCTIONS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC.

THE CONCEPTUAL IDEA IS THAT THE SQUAD CRE-ATES A STRATEGY AND ATTACKS THE HIGHWAY AT A SPECIFIC TIME WHEN THE HIGHWAY IS THE MOST VULNERABLE TO PUBLIC SPACE. IN REALITY, WE CAN ARGUE THAT WE CAN START USING OUR HIGH-WAYS FOR DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS WHEN THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED. WE START SEEING THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT THE HIGHWAY GIVES US AND TAKE ADVANTAGE IN ORDER TO CREATE SPACE AND CREATE ENERGY. BY DOING SO, WE START CREATING A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE THREE FACTORS <HIGH-WAY, PUBLIC, AND ENERGY>

THE BATTLEFIELDWHERE DOES THE HIGHWAY GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPLEMENT PUBLIC SPACE?

THE BULLETAT THE FORUM AREA WE CAN SEE AN ABSCENCE OF PUBLIC SPACE AND WE DECIDE TO IMPLEMENT PUBLIC SPACE AT THE HIGHWAY WHERE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT AND THEN ENTER IN A LATER LOCATION. THE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC SPEEDS DOWN AS IT APPROACHES THE NEW IMPOSED PUBLIC SPACE, THEN EXITS THROUGH AVENIDA LITORAL AND CARRER DE GARCIA. THE PUBLIC SPACE IS CREATED AT THE CIAN AREA, AS SHOWN IN THE MAP.

THE INJURYTHIS IS A VIEW OF HOW THE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WOULD SLOW DOWN AND THEN EXIT THROUGH AVENIDA LITO-RAL.

THE DEVICETHE DEVICE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: ONE FOLDS DOWN OF THE WALL OF RONDA LITORAL WITH THE USE OF HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS, AND THE SECOND ONE SLIDES DOWN FROM THE INCLINE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, ALSO USING A HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. THEY BOTH MEASURE 24 METERS BY 6 METERS. THEY CREATE AN SPACE IN BE-TWEEN THEM THAT SERVES A LOW SPEED ROAD THAT BRINGS IN SOME OF THE TRAFFIC FROM RONDA LITO-RAL.
