On the occasion of the Habitàcola 2020 Awards, the 3rd year students of EINA's Degree in Design, from the subject of Projects of Spaces 6, tutored by Miquel Espinet and Raúl Oliva, have made a set of reflections, critiques and proposals on the use of the space of the beaches.
The set of projects is presented at the Architecture Week 2020 with the title "EINA at Habitàcola". The Architecture Week, which will take place from 7 to 17 May, is an initiative promoted by Barcelona City Council, the Catalan Architects’ Association (COAC) and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation in collaboration with Barcelona Building Construmat and ArquinFAD.
In this edition, the Architecture Week will be held entirely online. The different works made by the students of the Degree in Design will be published daily in the Instagram and Vimeo channel of EINA following this calendar:

Habitar l'inhabitable, a project by Albert Alcoberro, Nuria Carrascal and Oriol Pinell.
The various projects carried out are based on an analysis of the state and spatial management of the territory's beaches to detect the imbalances between needs, services and current formalisations.
The detailed research process carried out by EINA students has considered a panoramic vision of the design, focusing on the identity of the beaches themselves and of the city, and on the functionality of the elements of public use found in these spaces.
The result of this research is a set of eight projects that organise flexible uses of the territory and, at the same time, promote social awareness and the security that these spaces should contribute to society.
Another leitmotif present in the execution of some of the projects has been the natural degradation suffered today by our coastline due to tourism and climate reasons and how, thanks to the design, it is possible to promote the re-naturalization, growth and development of biodiversity in these spaces.
