Barcelonian architects realized the project Aria, an unprecedented mapping of the city that shows the impact of air pollution on the health of citizens and their vulnerabilities.
“We can also see that these three crises highlight an accompanying social inequality,” Subirós explains. “The awareness that we cannot breathe, in the most literal and metaphorical sense, has spread globally: we breathe the air of the Anthropocene, an air full of particles that come from the fossil fuels of the machines we use. You could say that our air is designed by humans. We must redesign that air for life.
As a case study, architects from the 300,000 km/s studio picked Barcelona because of its high vehicle density and because Spain has been failing to comply with the levels of the European directive on air quality for more than 10 years now. Although measures such as the Low Emission Zone have been applied recently and innovative tests such as ‘super blocks’ have been carried out, dangerous emissions are still in excess.
This work was pursued on five lines: carry out an urban planning research based on innovative methodologies that can be extrapolated to other cities, organize citizen science workshops and actions to collect air data, publish a monographic issue of the the Catalan College of Architects magazine, create an artistic and sound project with an activist vocation, and design an immersive exhibition that materialize the research project for the Biennale.
