Barcelona Metro Redesign Process Book LISA FISCHER [email protected] lisasuefischer.com 908.723.4511 RESEARCH > PROBLEM OVERVIEW > BARCELONA ON A MAP • Current design can be clearer and friendlier • Metro line color could be more vivid and distinct and utilize the city’s colors • Does not represent the culture of Barcelona • Not customized enough to the city (uses London Underground inspired colors and symbol) * © Ferrocarril Metropolità de Barcelona, S.A. Tots els drets reservats RESEARCH | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 02 > CURRENT METRO DESIGN • Barcelona Metro map was last updated in June 2010: 164 stations + 11 lines • Second largest metro network in Spain after the Madrid Metro . • In 2013 there were approximately 369,940,000 passengers riding the metro. • The network has 11 subway lines managed by two different operators: • L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L9, L10 and L11 are the lines that are operated by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB). • L6, L7 and L8: lines operated by Ferrocarriles de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC). The lines are the result of improved frequencies in urban sections in Barcelona railway lines Barce- lona-Vallès and Llobregat-Anoia . The routes and stations are shared with suburban and commuter services from the same carrier.

LOGO (2014-CURRENT) RESEARCH | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 04 > ABOUT BARCELONA • Capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain • Spain’s second largest city • Population = 1.6 million • World’s leading tourist, economic, trade fair and cultural centres, and its influence in commerce, educa- tion, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world’s major global cities. • Located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean Sea • Barcelona is the home of many points of interest declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Most of these sites were designed by Gaudi • Mediterranean climate with mild, humid winters and warm, dry sum- mers. • FC Barcelona is a sports club best known worldwide for its football team, one of the largest in the world and second richest football club in the world. RESEARCH | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 05 > GAUDI ART + ARCHITECTURE • Can be found all over Barcelona • Important for incorporation into metro visual identity - especially since so many people come to Barcelona and use metro to see all Gaudi art and ar- chitecture throughout the city • Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was a Spanish Cat- alan architect from Reus and the best known practitioner of Catalan Mod- ernism. Gaudí’s works reflect an individualized and distinctive style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his magnum opus, the Sagrada Família. • Gaudí’s work was influenced by his passions in life:architecture, nature, and religion. Gaudí considered every detail of his creations and integrated into his architecture such crafts as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. He also introduced new techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís which used waste ceramic pieces. • Fused nature with architecture and design • Gaudi viewed the natural world as perfect, a creation from which he drew inspiration. Nowhere is this connection more clearly visible than in his masterpiece, Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia.

I tried incorporating TMB to see if anything would come of it but mainly focused on the M for metro, since that is what people look for when trying to find a metro station. DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 10 > DIGITAL LOGO EXPLORATION I kept trying to find ways to use the golden ratio to design my logo in paper sketches and digitally. It finally hit me that I could create a shape out of the golden ratio and create that into the ac- tual logo. DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 11 > DIGITAL LOGO EXPLORATION These digital logo explorations show the step by step process of how I created the logo and the several variations I tested. DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 12 > BLACK + WHITE LOGO I will not start using color in the logo design process until i can see that it works in black and white. Therefore, at this step of the design process I stepped back and reread my commu- nication goals to make sure that the logo was serving its intended func- tion and was pleased to see that it did. The lowercase rounded “m” con- veys a friendly and welcoming feel that is less rigid than the current logo and better represents Barcelona as a city. In addition, functionality was a key goal in the design process. Spe- cifically, I wanted anyone looking for a station stop to immedietely see the logo and be able to quickly identify it. Therefore, the simplicity of a one-val- ue shape with the “m” in the negative space makes it stand out at all sizes. DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 13 > COLOR EXPLORATION I wanted to keep the colors simple since this is an information with the ocean and Barcelona is a beach city that attracts thou- design task. At the same time, I wanted to bring out the colors sands of people for its lively beaches. The people coming for of Barcelona to make the metro feel more custom to the city. the beaches make up a solid percent of the metro rider target The three colors below and to the right worked well together audience so this was an important factor to take into account. because they pop like Gaudi’s color palettes often do and they are vibrant hues so they are easy to spot out. I ended up picking the blue as the primary color because blue can be associated DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 14 > COLOR SWATCHES PMS = 7407 C MAIN CMYK = 27, 38, 100, 3 COLOR RGB = 188, 150, 46 HEX = bc962e SUPPORTING PMS = 7550 C COLOR CMYK =11, 29, 99, 0 RGB = 229, 179, 36 HEX = e4b224 SUPPORTING PMS = 7553 C COLOR CMYK = 43, 51, 99, 25 RGB = 127, 101, 40 HEX = 7f6528 DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 15 > LOGO FORMAT Once I had the symbol figured out I had to add the TMB text to create the complate identity. These logo varia- tions show the different layouts I ex- perimented with to see what visaully looked most cohesive and balanced as a whole. DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 16 > TYPE STUDIES DESIGN PROCESS | METRO REDESIGN | LISA FISCHER 17 > TYPE STUDIES I needed something that would not clash with the rounded and geomet- ric form of the m in the logo. ITC Avant Garde is a geometric typeface and worked perfectly for this solution. LOGO TYPEFACE SELECTED: Transports ITC AVANT GARDE Metropolitans ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

    Report Report INTRODUCTION

    Report Report INTRODUCTION The efforts the Catalan government is making to extend the public transport network to new points of the territory and improve the quality of the service have made a notable contribution to the increase in demand, especially in the second half of 2010. For example, in the sphere of the integrated fare system for the Barcelona area a total of 922.33 million journeys were recorded for 2010, 0.9% more than the previous year, thanks largely to the increase in the number of journeys by Metro, a 5.4% increase over 2009. Moreover, this upward tendency in the number of journeys made by public transport has been confirmed in the first quarter of 2011, and the forecasts for the close of the year LLUÍS RECODER I MirAllES already point to a record annual figure. Councillor for Territory and Sustainability and Chairman of the This recovery of demand is partly due to the set of measures taken to improve the infra- Metropolitan Transport Authority structure which the Catalan government is promoting in order to extend the public transport network and bring it to new centres of population, thus substantially broadening its area of coverage. It was in 2010 that new sections of the Metro came into operation, such as L9/L10 between Gorg and La Sagrera, L5 between Horta and Vall d’Hebron, and L2 between Pep Ventura and Badalona Pompeu Fabra. It was in the same year that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat opened the station at Volpelleres near Sant Cugat del Vallès. In the field of road public transport various bus lines have been modified and extended to adapt their routes to the new needs for access to strategic facilities and other points where a large number of journeys are concentrated.

Take Carrer de Llobregós west in the direction of the Llobregat river until you reach Carrer de la Murtra on the left hand side. Continue down this street until you come to the library. 1. Biblioteca El Carmel ‒ Juan Marsé Carrer Murtra, 135 Juan Marsé (Barcelona, 1933) is one of the most renowned authors of post-war Barcelona. A self- taught writer, he was never a good student and would take every avai- lable opportunity to take to the streets of Gràcia, El Guinardó and El Carmel instead of being stuck in a classroom. Following several publications, his first real success arrived with the publication of Últimas tardes con Teresa [Last Evenings with Teresa], winner of the Biblioteca Breve prize for lite- rature in 1965. Those very streets he walked as a child appear fre- quently in his work: “Monte Carmelo is a bare, arid hill located northwest of the city. Their invisible threads gui- ded by a child’s expert hands, brightly coloured kites are often seen in the blue of the sky, sha- king from the wind and rising above the summit like shields that herald a warlike dream.

Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.
