SPATIAL CONFIGURATIONS  Throughout the conceptual framework of the project study of spatial relations within housing block was done. Presented below schemes illustrate relations between spaces around and within a building depending on how people could use it. Space, used by transport infrastructure, which traditionally is not expected to be appropriate for pedestrians (motion space) is considered as one of the main points of attention. The idea of developed architectural strategy and intervention is to integrate motion and collective spaces in various configurations of the streetscape. Examples of such interrelations can be found in Carrer de Wellington on the site in Barcelona as well as in other explored cases.  Architectural intervention includes an elevated passage which connects dif- ferent parts of the site and is penetrated by housing blocks. This passage is considered not only as a circulation area, but also as a system of collective spaces located in close proximity to transport infrastructure around and within a building. page 70 TRANSPORT & DOMICILE: an architectural intervention to integrate transport infrastructure with housing for Barcelona.
