Crisscrossing Space

UIUC 2016 Senior Year Studio
Study Abroad Program at ETSAV-UPC

Instructor: Mario Corea
Team: Yixuan Liu

Site: Barcelona, Spain
Date: Spring 2016

The concept of this this project is creating a crisscrossing space by taking advantages of the pre-existing slope site condition. The interaction would be represented in both plans and sections, which can promise the visitors a smooth and fluid circulation. The interactions would also help enhance the visual connections between the two main spaces in the gym, which include a swimming pool and a sports center. The exterior and interior spaces of the gym also have a connection. The activities of the gym extent beyond itself and make the gym an activator connecting the gym and its surrounding site.
