INFRASTRUCTURE IN LEVELS
Analyzed site is a place where different transport infrastructure networks in-
terweave and overlap with each other. They are located in different levels above and
under ground. The scheme presented below shows location, configuration and rela-
tions between above and under ground rail networks and La Ronda highway.

Besides transport network the site is penetrated by underground technical in-
frastructure networks which have a significant impact on urban planning of this area.
So that the biggest sewage tunnel forces La Ronda to cross it above ground which
creates the strongest border in the analyzed area.
Precise location of the underground metro Estacion de Ciutadella | Vila Olim-
pica can be seen on the map, which offers an opportunity to create the second access
entrance to the station to increase accessibility of metro and make a direct link with
proposed extension of tram network and housing development. Metro tunnel is located
close to the ground surface so it is possible to create openings to allow daylight enter
the metro station.
Gas and electrical infrastructure networks are considered when positioning
building volumes of architectural intervention.
