El Pirulo de Bellvitge

Our idea is based on proposing a sculpture that people can use as a landmark. The location we picked is an open space for the people in the community and by putting a sculpture that describes the bond of the people in L’Hospitalet, we want to change it from a passing point to a place to communicate and meet in. The blue colour, that signifies water, is used to remember the network of drains and canals that allowed the city to grow and have more people live in it further emphasising the special bond in the area.

Bellvitge is a zone full of diversity, activeness, youth and all kinds of people who share spaces on their daily basis. This spaces are part of their identity playing an important role in their comunity. We noticed that a grand majority of the gathering okaces needed a little mantainance and features that the neighbors could enjoy and make their common areas more pleasant, creating this tree-like sculptures that actually adapts to any environment in need of some shadow and art.
