WTC Cornellà
S/N, Plaça Pau, Cornellà de Llobregat, Spain
Office building for the World Trade Centre Alameda Park in Cornellà, Barcelona. 2004 -2007First Prize. Restricted competition
In the Cornellà Business
Park, promoted by the
World Trade Centre, we must propose architectural alternatives based on the
functional logic already tested and experienced by the ownership, concerning
the planned urban concepts.
We had to propose
alternatives for two types of situations: the normal buildings, following the
streets, and the corner building.
Our proposals are aimed
basically at the following questions:
FLOOR TYPE
A constructed band with a
16-metre span around a courtyard. The stairs and lifts as elements added to the
structure to prevent its impact. The logic of the floor allows great operative
flexibility with spaces for renting of a large variety of sizes with a minimal
repercussion on the common elements. The halls on the floor have natural light
and particular attention is paid to their finishes.
THE COURTYARD
This is the central
element or our proposal. On the one hand it is the emblematic area of the
building that gives it a different tone. It is also a space with specific
energy requirements.
We aim to base our
proposals on the traditional Mediterranean models present and operative in our
culture.
The street buildings, with
a single access from the garden, and the courtyard forming part of a complex,
articulated sequence of elements.
A first area, the atrium,
welcomes us. With a height of three floors and conditioned with natural
materials (wood) it houses the control, concierge and directory. Connected
directly to the main courtyard, the first part of which is hard, paved
sandstone and protected from the rain, and open in the final section, where a
Mediterranean garden with local vegetation finishes off the perspective. This
part is protected from the sun and allows natural ventilation while generating
a microclimate conditioned naturally, prepared for our warm climate.Author: Josep Lluís MateoClient: WTC Almeda park, SASite: Cornellà, BarcelonaProject: 2005-6Construction: 2006-7Surface: 15.000 m2 + 32.255 m2 car parkExternal Colaborators:Structural Engineering: Agustí Obiol - BOMAConditioning Engineering: Arup Spain (Madrid).
