卡门阿玛亚喷泉
Carmen Amaya Fountain

洛拉·多梅内克，建筑师：巴塞洛内塔街区目前的布局可追溯到1749年。该新区建于十四世纪以来从海上恢复的土地上。一名军事工程师受命执行这项工程，为里贝拉地区修建军事要塞时房屋被拆毁的人们提供住所。17世纪末，在一个城市发展时期，巴塞罗内塔很快开始人满为患。起初，该地区直接面向巴塞洛内塔海滩。然而，当新的高架海滨长廊建成时，这在街区和自然环境之间形成了一道屏障。1959年，随着卡门·阿马亚喷泉（Carmen Amaya fountain）台阶的修建，新的海滨长廊很容易到达。喷泉向这位出生在索莫罗斯特罗老区的舞蹈演员致敬。
Lola Domènech, architect: The current layout of the Barceloneta neighbourhood dates back to 1749. The new district was built on land that had been recovered from the sea since the XIV century. A military engineer was commissioned to carry out the project that was to house the people whose homes had been pulled down when the military fortress were built in the Ribera district. The barceloneta quickly became populated at the end of the XVII century during a period of urban growth. In the beginning the district faced directly onto the Barceloneta beach. However, when the new elevated Seaside promenade was built this created a barrier between the neighbourhood and its natural surroundings. In 1959 the construction of steps along with the Carmen Amaya fountain made the new Seaside Promenade readily accessible. The fountain paid homage to the dancer who was born in the old district of Somorrostro.

2. Original state

多年来，这种对舞蹈家卡门·阿玛亚的敬意占据了巴塞洛塔的一个小广场，一个黑暗而荒凉的角落，不值得她的记忆。该喷泉于1959年2月16日由舞蹈演员本人主持揭幕仪式，就在索莫罗斯特罗旧区附近。当新的海滨长廊建成时，这在Barceloneta街区和海滩之间形成了一道3米高的物理屏障。与卡门·阿马亚喷泉一起修建的台阶暂时解决了通往新长廊的问题。
This tribute to the dancer Carmen Amaya for years dominated a small square in the Barceloneta, a dark and inhospitable corner, not worthy of her memory. The fountain was inaugurated by the dancer herself on February 16^th 1959, right next to the old district of Somorrostro. When the new Seaside promenade was built this created a 3 metre high physical barrier between the Barceloneta neighbourhood and the beach. The steps which were built along with the Carmen Amaya fountain temporarily solved this problem of access to the new promenade.

However, over the years this urban space was neglected and deteriorated and became a meeting place for outcasts, unsafe and abandoned.

3. The purpose of the intervention

Given the deterioration and the marginal character of the surroundings of the Carmen Amaya fountain, the Council decided that it needed to intervene to improve and retrieve this space.

The refurbishment project had to take into account the following tenets: on the one hand, improve the district’s accessibility with the Seaside Promenade and on the other conserve and maintain the position of the Carmen Amaya fountain as an emblematic symbol of the neighbourhood.

4. Description of the intervention

The intervention takes into account both of these issues and overcomes the existing difference in height by means of a geometrically irregular ramp which begins at the low level of the Barceloneta and rises to the higher level of the Seaside promenade.

坡道不规则的路径尊重喷泉的原始位置，并愉快地将其融入新路线。横向上升的楼梯台阶纵向延长，直到它们一个接一个地融入坡道的斜面。通过这种方式，坡道和楼梯之间建立了有趣的对话。其中一个较大的台阶从其余部分突出，形成一个长凳。
The ramp’s erratic path respects the original position of the fountain and pleasantly incorporates it into the new route. The steps of the staircase which ascends laterally, are prolonged lengthwise until they blend one by one into the inclined plane of the ramp. In this way an interesting dialogue is established between the ramp-staircase. One of the larger steps juts out from the rest to form a bench.

The dancer’s name now appears in the foreground printed in corten steel, along the entire length of the ramp.

The entire intervention was undertaken using just two materials: fair face concrete for the ramp, steps and containment walls and corten steel for the railings and specific claddings. Self compacting fair face concrete with wood formwork was used for the containment walls.

The lighting of the immediate surroundings was strategically solved using just two points of light and highlights the symbolic value of the fountain and the new space.

5. Final appraisal

This intervention solves the issue of accessibility to the seaside promenade whilst at the same time conserving the existing fountain and turning a marginal space into a new urban scenery integrated into the neighbourhood.
