11 Sep 2012 Barcelona Urban Landscape Renovation of Plaza Lesseps Design: Albert Viaplana Article by Milos Stipcic for e-architect Project: Renovation of Plaza Lesseps, Barcelona (2002) Architect: Albert Viaplana Inauguration: 2009 photos © Milos Stipcic Plaza Lesseps Plaza Lesseps is an example of integration of transportation and civic public space. Two opposing urban layers are superpositioned, interacting with each other, reflecting complexity of the city. The first thing the visitor spots in this vibrant public space is constant intermingle of different mobility modes and large-scale, eye-catching metal sculptures (like giant cube, hanging beams or inclined metal obelisks) dispersed all around the public space. Square is also characterized by various urban activities and buildings that vary significantly in terms of type, style or height. Renovation of Plaza Lesseps is one of the most controversial projects in Barcelona often criticized by neighbors or professionals as cold, aggressive or no-place. 15 Jun 2012 Barcelona Parks - Latest Landscape Design Addition Parc del Centre del Poblenou, off the Av.
