    The Energy Consumption of Terraces in the Barcelona Public Space: Heating the Street

    sustainability Article The Energy Consumption of Terraces in the Barcelona Public Space: Heating the Street Carlos Alonso-Montolio * , Gloria Serra-Coch, Antonio Isalgue and Helena Coch Architecture & Energy,School of Architecture of Barcelona, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 08034 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] (G.S.-C.); [email protected] (A.I.); [email protected] (H.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-934-010-866 Abstract: Terraces, as outdoor extensions of food and beverage businesses located in the public realm, have very high potential to activate the streetscape, bring people together and improving urban ex- periences. Among the consequences of the current COVID-19 pandemic are the recommendations of maximizing outdoor environments when conducting human interactions. Therefore, outdoor eating has dramatically increased throughout the world, with terraces becoming a radical urban change in many streetscapes. The urgency of the situation, and rapid implementation of these changes, has revealed some aspects of this phenomenon that should be considered when adapting the regulations to this new reality. However, the research on their functioning and impact is limited. Additionally, although energy consumption in the architectural and urban field is considered fundamental, re- search has rarely addressed small business outdoor spaces, placing the focus instead on residential heating or public lighting. This study focuses on the intersection of these two gaps by analyzing a set of terraces in Barcelona and estimating the power installed in their outdoor heating devices. The goal is to determine the potential energy consumed, contrast it with other values more commonly used when researching architectural energy consumption and point out the lack of sustainability of these approaches to providing comfort.

    Memory of the City – Layers of the City. Spanish Examples

    DOI: 10.4467/2353737XCT.16.180.5791 MATEUSZ GYURKOVICH* MEMORY OF THE CITY – LAYERS OF THE CITY. SPANISH EXAMPLES PAMIĘĆ MIASTA – WARSTWY MIASTA. PRZYKŁADY HISZPAŃSKIE Abstract Some cities have incessantly teemed with life for centuries, even for millennia. Currently, the oldest inhabited urban settlements are deemed to be those located in the Old World. Their contemporary layouts are very different to how they were originally, this is very often hidden in relics which attest to the older layers. Searching for such layers is a fascinating task. Sometimes, they can be found in the layout of public spaces, or in the architecture of historic buildings and complexes. Others remain deeply concealed underneath the surface of streets, squares, pavements, and parks. Most frequently, the exposure of larger parts of the remains of old architectural and urban structures is not easy due to the need to secure efficient functioning of the contemporary urban tissue. Architectural and archaeological reserves established especially in Europe, help to restore the lost memory of the city by exhibiting its historic layers. Keywords: city lifespan, urban tissue, archaeological and architectural reserve, excavations, museum Streszczenie Niektóre miasta nieprzerwanie tętnią życiem od wieków, nawet od tysiącleci. Obecnie za najstarsze wciąż zamieszkiwane miasta uważa się te położone w Starym Świecie. Ich współczesna struktura przestrzenna daleko odbiega od pierwotnych układów. Bardzo często ukrywa w sobie relikty świadczące o dawniejszych nawarstwieniach. Poszukiwanie tych warstw jest zajęciem fascynującym. Niekiedy można je odnaleźć w układzie przestrzeni publicznych czy w architekturze zabytkowych budynków i zespołów. Inne pozostają głęboko ukryte pod powierzchnią ulic, placów, chodników i parków. Najczęściej ekspozycja większych fragmentów pozostałości dawnych struktur architektoniczno-urbanistycznych nie jest łatwa ze względu na prawidłowe funkcjonowanie współczesnej tkanki miejskiej.

    THE SECOND QLF Alumni Congress BARCELONA, CATALONIA, SPAIN SUNDAY, 13 NOVEMBER 2016 – WEDNESDAY, 16 NOVEMBER 2016 At the Congress, QLF Alumni, partner organizations, and practitioners will convene in Barcelona to share knowledge of stewardship of natural resources and cultural heritage; catalyze conservation action; and set QLF’s agenda for the next decade. The Congress has the potential to make a lasting contribution to a more sustainable global community. : : BARCELONA – LIVING MODERNISM S S A relationship with Catalonia has thrived over the latter half of the E R 55-year history of QLF. When QLF began an exchange program in G Eastern Europe shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall, the German N Marshall Fund of the U.S. asked QLF to include Catalonia in our O C Exchanges. The Fund recognized that the region was still recovering I from the Franco regime in much the same way that Czechoslovakia, N M Hungary, Poland, and Romania were emerging from Soviet dominion. U L A decade later, QLF’s participatory approach to land stewardship found A fertile ground in Catalonia, culturally and historically predisposed to a F L social approach to conservation. One Alumnus teamed with a savings Q bank to create a network of privately protected areas across the country; D another created a Catalan network of local organizations that support N O individuals to manage private natural areas. C E In recent years, QLF advised these Alumni and others in a European S E Union project to promote land stewardship across the continent, and H co-authored a guide on the subject.

    BARCELLONA Barcellona (in catalano e spagnolo Barcelona) è una città di 1.602.386 abitanti (area metropolitana istituzionale: 2.215.581 abitanti) della Spagna, capoluogo della Catalogna, una comunità autonoma della parte Nord-orientale dello Stato, oltre che dell’omonima provincia e della comarca del Barcelonès. Soprannominata Ciudad Condal o Ciutat Comtal (Città dei Conti), è la seconda città della Spagna per numero di abitanti dopo la capitale Madrid. Nel 1992 fu sede dei Giochi Olimpici estivi. Nel 2004, a Barcellona, si è tenuto per la prima volta assoluta il Forum Universale delle Culture; la città ha ospitato l’Esposizione internazionale del 1888 e quella del 1929, è la sede fissa del Mobile World Congress e dell’Unione per il Mediterraneo. Forte del turismo, del porto e della vicinanza alla Francia (160 km da Le Perthus), la città è il secondo maggior centro industriale e finanziario della Spagna dopo Madrid, nonché il maggior porto commerciale e turistico e uno dei maggiori d’Europa. È situata nella Spagna orientale, sul mar Mediterraneo a sud dalla catena montuosa dei Pirenei e 150 km dal Col du Perthus, che segna il confine con la Francia, in una pianura situata tra il mare e la suddetta catena montuosa, tra le foci dei fiumi Besòs e Llobregat. Il comune è delimitato a Nord dai comuni di Santa Coloma de Gramenet e Sant Adrià de Besòs, a Ovest da Montcada i Reixac e da Sant Cugat del Vallès, a Sud dalla zona franca con L’Hospitalet e Esplugues de Llobregat, mentre a Est rimane solo il mare.
