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. tram train La Ronda metro L4 above ground ground level under ground Figure   33 Above and underground transport networks model | scale  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. key to map sewage gas electricity basement 1 fl basement 2 fl Estacion de Ciutadella | Vila Olimpica proposed 2nd entrance Figure   32 Efimovich Alina Map of underground structures TRANSPORT & DOMICILE: an architectural intervention to integrate transport infrastructure with housing for Barcelona. page 33
