A mixed, compact and inclusive neighborhood in the old Mercedes Factory<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>n architecture firm Batlleiroig<\/a> proudly introduces Ecodistrict laMercedes, a project to reactivate an old Mercedes-Benz factory in Barcelona. The project generates new economic and residential activity, contributing to the large urban regeneration of Bon Pastor and Bes\u00f2s, which has now become the most dynamic urban area in the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Completing the urban grid<\/h4>\r\n

The old industrial site blocks the connections between residential areas with very different social and economic characteristics. The LaMercedes area will be the crossing point of two new urban axes: through the east-west axis, the historic centre of Sant Andreu will be connected with the neighbourhood of Bon Pastor and the future park of Rec Comtal, with the park of the Bes\u00f2s river. The north-south axis will connect La Maquinista and the neighbourhood of Bar\u00f3 de Viver with the park of Rec Comtal and the future developments of the Torrent de la Estadella industrial estate. The proposal connects historically isolated areas, despite their proximity, and contributes to a new centrality that will articulate and unite the heterogeneous urban and social fabrics of the environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Recycling the industrial heritage<\/h4>\r\n

The historical and heritage value of the Mercedes lies both in the material value of all its buildings, the result of successive projects during the 1950s to 1970s by architect Robert Terradas. Its Nordic-inspired rationalist architecture, as well as its intangible value, gives testimony to the industrial past of the neighborhood, which many of its neighbors were participants in. The proposed development recognizes the architectural history and social significance of the place through the reuse of various existing buildings. The project is based on the conservation of the main industrial buildings, which are used for cultural and educational facilities. Complemented by new buildings for economic activities, this complex is organized around the existing central building, of which the structure is preserved to provide shelter for a large public plaza, intended to be the center of activity in the new neighbourhood, and which must house a large clean energy production center. Maintaining the character of the place and creating this symbolic space that contributes to reinforcing the sense of belonging to the neighbourhood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A mixed-use neighbourhood<\/h4>\r\n

The historic complex is transformed to house economic activity, which includes not only offices and facilities focused on education and knowledge, but also a specific type of activity focused on the creativity of the 4.0 industry, as well as innovation, research, and sustainability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New ways of living<\/h4>\r\n

laMercedes is destined to become a neighborhood where people can learn, live, and work. A compact neighborhood with houses of all types and characteristics, together with a multitude of ground floor commercial shops, community facilities, and economic activities. Together, they configure a new centrality that contributes to unifying the heterogeneous urban fabric of the environment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
