Urban paving

Poblenou

2013

The Poblenou tile aims to create a continuous pavement where the joints and the low-relief graphics blend to form an isotropic surface remeshing.

Using the method of the “imperfect quality of drawing” the author proposes a deformed hexagonal centre which, when joined with drainage channels to the outer perimeter, generates a piece that is positioned at random.

The Poblenou design reinterprets Antoni Gaudí's original pavement proposal, also offering a single combinable hexagonal model. Originally designed for the exterior pavement of the Glòries Shopping Center, located on the edge of the Poblenou neighborhood.

The urban tiles sit on a rigid concrete slab of 15 to 18 cm, designed for pedestrian use with ocasional vehicle traffic service, poured on a soil sub-base.
