    Co-crear recursos de accesibilidad con la comunidad usuaria en el Museu d’Arqueologia de Catalunya, Barcelona
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-10-25) Masoliver Vilamala, Jasmina; Granell Querol, Andrea; Moreno Catalán, Eduard; Ajuntament de Barcelona; Universitat de Barcelona; Museo de Arqueología de Cataluña
    [EN] ReAcc-MAC (Accessibility Resources at the Archeology Museum of Catalonia, Barcelona) is a participatory research carried out by people with visual functional diversity. The objective is to weave bonds between the museum and this collective This way, connections contribute to achieving a more accessible and inclusive museum. This process is framed the paradigm shift towards universal accessibility and social museology in Catalonia. The agents that have intervened in this community research have been: the MAC, the Cooperativa Eduxarxa, the research group formed by people with visual functional diversity, DIDPATRI of the University of Barcelona and the Prevent Foundation. The research group has been the protagonist of the project since they have been in charge of carrying out the analysis and evaluation of the contents and the museography in an area of the exhibition space called Blue Sea Bridge. To perform this research, a combined methodology has been used. On one hand, quantitative analysis such as surveys. On the other hand, qualitative based on focous group method. Regarding the results, a proposal co-designed by the research group was obtained to improve the physical, sensory, and communicative accessibility of the Blue Sea Bridge area. It is worth emphasizing the good evaluation of the project by the research group, since they highlighted that their participation had been very beneficial, for both, the community, and the museum. In addition, it was positively valued by partakers to have been able to participate actively and to see how their opinion was actually taken into consideration. In short, it is possible to co-create accessibility resources with the user community. With this research, the replicability of this methodology is verified, and it is intended to encourage future interventions of this type in other museum institutions. This project has been supported by Becas “Premis Barcelona 2020” of Barcelona City Council.

    The role of cultural heritage in urban reuse
    (Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València, 2022-09-13) Domenech Rodríguez, Marta; López López, David; Cornadó Bardón, Còssima; Ajuntament de Barcelona
    [EN] Cities face the challenge of transforming existing buildings to be reused, particularly those that are underused or not used at all. Tackling this issue, the European Commission approved in 2014 a package of measures to promote a circular economy. According to this agreement, our cities can be more sustainable and resilient by transforming these underused existing buildings with proposals for their adaptive temporary reuse, favoring the citizens’ well-being and quality of life and promoting social inclusion and economic growth with respect for the environment. This paper studies the role of heritage education in adaptive urban reuse, exploring the possibilities and methodologies for the reprogramming of existing buildings for different types of activities to offer citizens and communities the opportunity to participate in the life of the city, favouring their social inclusion. In contrast to the common new-builds or refurbishment commissions, reuse offers a greater possibility of disseminating, transforming and reinventing architectural methodologies and approaches to integrate in the design process forms of citizen participation, favouring the transition towards a model of a circular economy and more sustainable consumption. The paper analyses the possibilities of urban reuse applied to five major public heritage buildings in Barcelona: the Post Office Building, the Old Customs House, the France Train Station, the Martorell Museum and the Castle of the Three Dragons. Each of them has a particular condition regarding current uses and its public owning institution and presents specific characteristics regarding building typology, heritage protection, conservation and construction materials and techniques. The buildings date either from the late 19th century or the early 20th century and are grouped along a 1 km axis on the threshold between the historic center and the port of the city. This unique location represents a great strategic potential for the regeneration and urban reactivation of the city.
