Housing and commercial area for la vila olímpica

Barcelona
Architecture: Oscar Tusquets / Carles Díaz
Promoter: Ajuntament de Barcelona

This is one of the areas of the project in which la vila olímpica was divided for the Barcelona'92 Olympic Games. A parking lot that occupied the subsoil of the entire block, two linear buildings of houses facing the sea, completed by two others in the form of small towers that flank the entrance of the commercial area that serves the entire complex. A rational exercise with a very strict program to respond to the needs of the athletes that it had to host during the Olympics. Subsequently, they would be incorporated into the city's residential housing market.
