THE ENTRANCE OF THE BUNKERS
The Marià Lavèrnia Square Street is a residential street located in the competition area on the top of the Turó de Rovira and it’s renovation is a point of departure to draw future conclusions.
It is one of the two renovated accesses to the Bunkers del Carmel which canalize the visitors streams. The project tries to “create a liveable city for residents and tourists alike” butalso suffers of the massive usage of passing people. The street offers a friendly public space with a homely character, access by elongated stairs and a ramp which lead to the popular destination, the Bunkers.
Bunkers del Carmel
The Bunkers are a former military battery on the Turó de Rovira at 322 meters above the sea-level. Constructed in 1937 for protecting the city of Barcelona against aerial attacks, nowadays one can visit the ruins structures and enjoy the 360º-view from above. After the Bunkers renovation by Jansana, De La Villa, De Paauw it turned into a very famous destination, not only for Barcelona’s citizen but also for tourists.
