The project team estudi08014 has carried out a landscape regeneration intervention in Camí de Cabrianes, in Sallent de Llobregat; a municipality and locality of the region of Bages, in the province of Barcelona, Spain.
The Llobregat River separates the municipality into two halves, being used to merge Sallent de Llobregat with nature.

Through this regeneration, the project team estudi08014 solves the fracture between the municipality and the Llobregat river limit.
For that, the existing wall with a balustrade is demolished, saving the unevenness between the road and the riverbank, facilitating the pedestrian access and the transit through the area.
With this simple intervention, it promotes an area whose main resources are mining and industry.

Description of project by Estudi08014
To develop and improve something, especially by making it as good or successful as it was before.
This project is the first stage of regeneration of an old path that links the towns of Sallent and Cabrianes following the course of the Llobregat River, in an environment of riverside forests and small orchards.
This project, like any regeneration process, can be explained in 3 successive times: a past time where the path and its edges defined a system of open spaces, easily accessible, perfectly integrated into their environment. A present time where the path is transformed into a heavy traffic road, with serious problems of accessibility, which rips the territory. A future time, imagined and projected as a -not literal- back to the past time.
This project is a de-construction process: to open the door to the landscape through the demolition of a concrete balustrade that defined an overly explicit boundary between infrastructure and landscape. A de-materialization process: to reintegrate architecture and environment through the use of local and low impact resources. An un-hiding process: to provide access to the open spaces on the path edges by cleaning them.
This project aims the re-appropriation of the natural areas of the riverbank, through the arrangement of stairs, ramps and terraces that solve the connection between both levels; the re-habilitation of the riverbank promenade and its edges, becoming them into civic spaces; the re-integration of infrastructure and nature through a low-intensity intervention in a continuously changing environment that probably will soon impose its own law to get rid of the not fundamental.
