David Baena to Turn Bridge in Barcelona into Green City Square

David Baena, professor of construction at the ESARQ School of Architecture, will join the rest of the BCQ architecture studio in revamping Barcelona’s Sarajevo Bridge and turning it into a new green city square.

The Sarajevo Bridge crosses Avinguda Meridiana and joins both sides of la Trinitat at the northern access to the city. This new green gate will provide shade and make it easier for pedestrians and vehicles to share the space.

The project will be energy self-sufficient, thanks to solar panels that will generate enough power to illuminate the area. The pavement will make use of phosphorescent elements that absorb pollutants.
