Project
Urbanism of Paseo Guillem Vinyes
He town planning The Guillem Vinyes de Sallent del Llobregat promenade is located in the Bages region, in a small neighborhood called “Poble nou”. Currently it is the continuation of the old part of the town, but in the past these lands were used for herds and vines. At one end is the Puigbó mountain with its organization by means of platforms with stone walls from the same fields, which the peasants built to contain water for their vineyards and at the other, orchards of the Llobregat river with the flatter topography and vegetation. from Ribera.
Intentionality of urban planning project
The intention and purpose of the project is to have a multifunctional space with different platforms with different activities, adapting the slope of the terrain to the new proposal. Giving rise to the platforms and a pedestrian ramp that will begin and end at the longitudinal ends of the entire area, it joins the different platforms and at the same time gives access to each one of them. Connecting both ends of the river and the mountain.
Previous brushstrokes of the urban planning project
The initial idea was the widening of one of the sides of the promenade. Transforming a sidewalk into a longitudinal ramp that guarantees accessibility to the entire area and links it with the different flat platforms inside. Which become suitable for hosting various outdoor public uses.
At the center of the longitudinal axis is the presence of the buried river basin of a stream that flows into the Llobregat River, indicating the connecting value of this space, through two strips of longitudinal trees that are maintained and integrated into the proposal.
References from the urban environment
The design of the spaces will collect references from the natural environment, with terraces from the surrounding mountains, with the presence of local stone walls, platform walls with pine wood formwork to leave their mark on the concrete, naturalized earths and color. reddish soil of the area, fences made of wooden sticks and steel bars as the peasants do in their huts in the orchards, curbs reproducing the reparcelling of irrigation and limitations of the orchards.
Uses of the urban planning project
The set of platforms in their longitudinality are structured by a central part of transversal road. They act as a separator between the lower platforms (mimicry with the river orchards) and the upper platforms (mimicry with the mountain, the stone walls and the upper vineyards).
The upper platforms of the area, form closed enclosures at the height of the body. Activities that need to be delimited are carried out, such as the "children's play" space for older children and for younger ones in a higher part. And on the last platform of the highest part, "the viewpoint and the fountain" will also enjoy greater seclusion.
On the other hand, the platforms in the lower area will be larger and with less unevenness. Between them they make up open and less pressured spaces that can be used for more massive activities, such as fairs and concerts.
Details of each use of the urban planning project
roundabout river access
Landscaped space. It makes the transition from the orchards and the river in the lower area to the mountain. And lyrics of "Sallent" welcoming the town.
Obstacle-free multipurpose space
It begins with some stands, a differentiated pavement that makes a possible setting for future town festivals and an open space with benches and a seating area.
central space
Includes accesses for pedestrians and vehicle roads that cross the promenade transversally. It differs substantially from the part next to a stone wall, with trees aligned to the passage of vehicles and differentiated pavements.
children's play area
It is a multi-level space with a wooden fence, pavements and naturalized elements, in keeping with the environment and the desire to integrate it into the landscape. And we try to promote educational values and group games. They are separated by transversal walls with stone from the same town. Between both game platforms there is an inclined platform, a slide and a climbing wall. Upper part: a sandbox, a booth and different little horses. Lower part: for older children a naturalized construction game.
lookout
Privileged space giving vision to each of the platforms and the horizon over the Llobregat river. With a fountain and garden area.
access to the forest
It is the upper platform, which gives continuity to the upper forest towards the mountain. A previous delimitation of the area is proposed, in order to regularize the alignment of roads.
