this sector of Mollet del Vallés will be another major access into the city once the planned changes in the traffic system are carried out
Set in a frontier territory whose urban conditions have yet to be defined
the park project was tackled with a row of plantain trees as the only pre-given
With no identifying features in view that could be used to regenerate the district
the project superposes on the profile of the predetermined soil a civic center and toy library building
which stretches onto the park like an artificial topography
with ramps and footbridges upon which visitors will tread like archaeologists over a yet unexplored substratum
a continuous carpet that endeavors to become both a public and shared domain
With a row of plantain trees as the only given point of reference
this peripheral site creates its own identity by means of a code of signs derived from graffiti strokes and other purely urban images
By framing pre-existing activities in different scenographies
the proposal explores the place’s precinct character
Its limits are marked by successive elevations that alternate with the rows of vegetation in the form of pergolas and screens on pillars designed to evoke graffiti strokes
oversized typography throws shadows on the ground which enhance the playful and pedagogical nature of the park
A hard pavement induces through its changing colors the diversification of activities
The children’s playground safely close to the building
etc.: each has its own carpet of concrete and clinker
providing a hollow at the center for outdoor theatrical spectacles
with brightly colored elements that present themselves like huge fruits seen from the air
The compact masses of vegetation affirm the functional division of the park through small forests protecting the benches and sedentary areas
the trees contribute as well: willows surround the fountains
mulberries border the children’s playground
and eucalyptuses are planted in pairs all along the perimeter
species which were already on the site have been complemented with samples of the same families
the refreshing moisture of dispersed fountains guides movement
with water appearing and disappearing in the course of the day
The park awaits us like an oasis on the edge of the city
with surprises of the kind only possible in an invented place

Alexia Putellas has already won the UEFA Women's Champions League
and the Spanish Supercopa with her club Barcelona
She’s also individually collected two Ballon D’Ors
multiple Player of the Year and two FIFA Best awards - but here are five things you did not know about the football superstar
Despite traveling from their home in Mollet del Valles to Camp Nou often to watch the men's team play, she didn't expect that years later she too would be stepping out onto that pitch captaining a Barcelona side.
From her multiple personal accolades to her achievements with club and country, there is no doubt that the attacking midfielder has helped shaped the modern game of women's football.
Think you know the Spanish superstar? Think again.
Here are five things you did not know about Barcelona captain and Spain international, Alexia Putellas.

⚽ Relive the best football moments from Paris 2024 🏅
The majority of Putellas’ footballing idols are those from past Barcelona men's teams - most notably Brazil's Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, and fellow Spaniard, Andres Iniesta
it’s no surprise that the Barcelona Women’s captain has taken inspiration from three of the world’s greatest attacking midfielders
Putellas also cites a former Lyon player as one of her main idols
Louisa Nécib spent the majority of her career at Lyon
becoming known as an incredible playmaker for the French club
Putellas can play as an attacking midfielder or in a more central role
The pair have both received high praise for their vision and passing
as well as their technicality and creativity on the ball
It’s thanks to these traits that comparisons have previously been drawn between Nécib and Zinedine Zidane
Despite being born into a family of culers (Barcelona FC fans)
football wasn’t always Putellas’ choice of sport
she followed in the footsteps of family members and began playing basketball - another popular sport in the Catalan region
Her early experiences of team sports led her to joining her first football club at the age of seven.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alexia Putellas (@alexiaputellas)
The 29 year old’s first ever football club was Sabadell - the only youth team in the Barcelona area with a specific women and girls section at the time
she managed to join the club with help from a family friend - despite Sabadell officially only accepting girls from the age of eight
It wasn't long before she was made one of the club’s captains
despite being a lot younger than the majority of her teammates
It was here that Putellas’ leadership skills became evident
and the club experienced continuous success under the now Barcelona captain
the Sabadell’s girls’ team was not a priority
which led to Putellas leaving the club to spend a year at Barcelona’s academy
After being left with no team for her age group at La Masia
she joined Espanyol’s girls team where she went on to make her senior debut at the age of 16
Alexia Putellas rejoined Barcelona in 2012
she won her first ever league title after a 2-1 win at Athletic Bilbao in front of a bumper crowd
which back then 10 years ago didn't usually happen.”
Barcelona went on to win their first ever domestic double - beating Zaragoza 4-0 in the Copa de la Reina final
Putellas made headlines after scoring her side’s third goal and being named the Copa de la Reina final MVP
that at 18 I was already a starter and I played practically everything,” she told SPORT
practically every year I have managed to put a title in my personal record and I think that the evolution has been very good
Every time I get closer to the player I want to be and it is clear that this benefits the club
she became the third ever footballer - and first female player - to receive the prestigious Creu de Sant Jordi
The two previous footballing recipients were Lionel Messi and Johan Cruyff
Putellas also became the first ever woman to be projected onto Dubai’s Burj Khalifa
An image of her face was beamed onto the iconic building during the Globe Soccer Awards in 2023
Putellas has become known for setting - and shattering - records
From being the first woman to score in a competitive match at Camp Nou
to scoring in the first ever women’s El Clasico against Real Madrid - she also led Barcelona to a record-breaking season in 2021
That season the attacking midfielder managed 18 goals in 31 games
and her side picked up 99 points from a possible 102
finishing the season with a +152 goal difference
A week after her suffering the injury, she was operated on and over the last nine months, has been working to make a full recovery.
Barcelona are set to play the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Chelsea on April 29, 2023, and although Putellas has returned to training, it is unknown whether she will feature.
If Barcelona can make it past Chelsea, they will face either Wolfsburg or Arsenal in the Netherlands on June 3, 2023 - perhaps a more realstic date for the 29 year old to make.
There is also still ample time for Putellas to feature in this season's La Liga F. Barcelona have five remaining league games, with their last on May 21, 2023, and are currently ten points clear.
However, the fast approaching 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is the more key goal for Putellas's return, with Spain kicking off their campaign against Costa Rica on July 21, 2023.
Amazon is set to close its logistics hub in Martorelles
but the company has pledged to keep the 800 jobs
The e-commerce giant said on Wednesday that in an effort to "make sure the operations network fits the firm's needs and in order to improve the experience for employees and clients," the center in Martorelles will be replaced by a large one in Zaragoza
The company is talking with unions to find new posts for its employees
The move comes after Amazon announced the lay-off of 18,000 people worldwide in early January
Those involved will be informed on January 18.
Amazon also unveiled that its new automated hub in El Far d'Empordà
in the north of Catalonia close to Figueres
will open by April and will be over 50,000 square meters
According to the firm, the new center will create 1,400 permanent jobs with over 60 different roles. It will complement the activity already in place in the other two centers the e-commerce giant has in Barcelona, one in El Prat, the largest in Spain, and another in Castellbisbal, a 30-minute drive from the capital.
Amazon's goal is to have over 25,000 permanent workers in Spain by the end of 2025 after investing over €10 billion since 2011.
The plant in Martorelles is over 30,000 square meters and opened in October 2017.
The CCOO union has rejected that workers should move to other locations to keep their jobs. It is "a hidden lay-off scheme," a statement reads, as for them, pushing workers to decide whether to relocate to Zaragoza or Figueres is a way of asking for people to voluntarily quit.
Amazon would be trying for employees to leave voluntarily and this way to reduce lay-off costs, the union claims.
"We will not accept for these sackings or leaves to be free," the union statement reads.

© Pepo SeguraThe approach for the redesign was shaped by the necessity to utilize as much as possible of the old building
although a study undertaken by the team of architects revealed significant deficiencies in its overall condition
the first task was to strengthen the structure in various specific points
since the installations were totally obsolete
sustainability and energy-saving considerations were of the utmost importance
calling for the incorporation of effective insulation and solar panels
sunscreens of vertical aluminum bars served as a new facade for the building
the layoutof the original hospital was conserved
The key design decision was focused on the open central area that had been previously used as a car park and service entrance
transforming it into a garden patio for patients
The transparent ground floor opens up to both this light-filled interior patio as well as the newly created public plaza across the street
which became part of the project during the design development
the total cost of the renovation project was approximately half of what is usually spent on new hospital construction in Spain
