萨洛中心区广场

Saló中心区位于Sant Boi de Llobregat市具有重要意义的两条主干道的交界处：C-245路和Josep Mariages大道。这两条大道有不同的特点，C-245路是该地区最重要的城际道路之一，它有很强的工业特征，同时，它一直在经历重要的转型，向更多的城市、绿色、住宅和步行区发展。另一方面，Josep Mariages大道将很快成为南北行人交通的重要连接。

The Saló Central area is located in the junction of two axes that have a significant importance in the city of Sant Boi de Llobregat: Santa Creu de Calafell Road (C-245) and Josep Mariages Avenue. These two axes have different characteristics. The C-245 road is one of the most important interurban roads in the region. It has a heavily industrial character and, at the same time, it has been experiencing important transformations towards a more urban, green, residential and pedestrian area. On the other hand, Josep Mariages Avenue will soon become an important connection for north-south pedestrian traffic.

在这个框架下，项目对场地的几个限制因素做出了回应。通过确保自行车和人行道的连续性，并通过创造一个新的绿色区域来缓冲目前繁重的交通状况所带来的噪音，有助于将C-245道路转变为一个更加城市化和步行的区域。

In this framework, the proposal responds to several constraints. The project contributes to transforming the C-245 road into a more urban and pedestrian zone by ensuring the continuity of the bicycle and pedestrian paths and by creating a new green zone that buffers the current noise from heavy traffic conditions.

项目着手考虑Baldiri Net街的连续性，还有它们与C-245道路之间较大的坡度，还需要将上述两个轴线联系起来，为新规划的建筑服务。这些问题是通过一个由不规则多边形组成的几何系统来解决的，这个系统也赋予了这个项目以统一性和同质性，每个多边形根据他们的需要采用独特的和有区别的特征。

The new urban development should relate these two abovementioned axes by providing continuity to Baldiri Net Street, serving the new planned buildings, and taking into account the considerable slope between them and the C-245 road. These problems are solved by means of a geometrical system composed of irregular polygonal shapes. This system also confers the project with unity and homogeneity. The mentioned geometrical system allows a varied gardening system, where each polygon adopts a unique and differentiated character according to their needs.

广场的产生是为了给场地社区一个积极的活动空间。空间包含了操场设施、老年人设施，当然还有小型植物园，包含低耗水的本地物种。线性的种植树木，这些树木产生了连续的阴凉区域，在整个场地内为游客提供阴凉。

Small squares are generated to grant the site a local domestic scale despite its vastness. There is also space for playground facilities, facilities destined to elderly people and, of course, small botanical gardens containing autochthonous species with low water consumption. Trees compliment these arrangements are laid out linearly, which generates continuous shade areas that shelter the visitors throughout the site.
