Architecture Studio 300.000Km/s presents a special plan for uses related to home delivery, focused on the city of Barcelona, Spain. The plan is born from the need to regulate the activities that arise from the digitization of consumer habits through electronic commerce.
The forms of supply have been modified, generating new mobility associated with the final exchange of services and merchandise and introducing new impacts on the urban fabric in an accelerated manner.
The plan is one of the 50 finalists of the XVI BEAU Awards (Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism).

300.000Km/s are focused on these activities linked to the distribution of goods, since they modify the relevance of having a ground-floor establishment and generate a new series of spaces that must be housed in the city for the production, handling, storage, or distribution of goods.
The new hybrid models between the physical and digital planes have to take into account the work spaces and food production, as well as the environmental disturbances and the impact on the public space generated by the routes of the delivery drivers and the accumulation of vehicles and delivery drivers on the same stretch of street.

Description of project by 300.000Km/s
This plan is based on the need to regulate a series of activities that have arisen as a result of the digitization of consumer habits through electronic commerce, which have modified the forms of supply by generating a new mobility associated with the final exchange of services and merchandise and, as a consequence, have introduced new impacts on the urban fabric in an accelerated manner.
These activities linked to the distribution of goods change the relevance of having a ground-floor establishment and generate a new series of spaces that must be housed in the city for the production, handling, storage, or distribution of goods.

Hybrid models have been generated between the physical and digital planes that coexist with already established formulas such as spaces for the preparation of prepared dishes, catering companies, or the central industrial kitchens of restaurant chains with other activities resulting from the platform economy (such as ghost kitchens or supermarkets).
In various cases, these types of establishments are associated with environmental disturbances (smoke, odors, and/or noise produced by the intensive preparation of food in large quantities) and impacts on public space generated by the transfer of loading and unloading of merchandise or the accumulation of vehicles and delivery men on the same stretch of street.Diagram.
