This project proposes the transformation of Barcelona&#8217;s highest mountain, Mount Tibidabo, into a \u201cBattery\u201d by 1 million cubic metres of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Infinity Valley incorporates the integration of pumped storage hydropower with a library and a cultural centre. The mountain&#8217;s elevation is a distinctive asset, and is situated near the renowned Tibidabo Amusement Park and Fabra Observatory. These elements inspire the Valley to blur the boundaries between entertainment and energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climatic data plays a pivotal role in the design process. Design methodology \u201cGame of Sun\u201d and \u201cSolar Gain for Canopy Design\u201d are informed a comprehensive examination of geographical, solar, hydrological, and wind pattern data. This approach represents a symbiotic relationship between nature and technology. The Valley does not only create a style aesthetic, but also embrace neighbouring biodiversity and wildlife. In particular, the treasure hunting game \u201cWilson\u2019s Book\u201d is evolved from Iberian red fox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/961367233?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Bartlett_Summer_2024_MArch_PG21_Weitse_Wang_01\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/961367400?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Bartlett_Summer_2024_MArch_PG21_Weitse_Wang_02\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Wilson&#8217;s Book<\/strong><br>Inspired by Barcelona\u2019s wildlife Iberian red fox, a treasure hunting game named &#8220;Wilson&#8217;s Book&#8221; was developed.
