In-situ Barcelona SEMINAR
Ernest Ferré / Juan Carlos Sánchez-Tappan
This seminar is defined in the format of a series of visits to sites that are presently under construction or redefinition in Barcelona. The visits will include guided tours and/or talks by those directly involved in the project.The emphasis will be given to sites that have a future potential, but also considering some experiences from recent history.
Past visits have included the redevelopment of the airport and the new business district south of Barcelona, the reconstruction of some areas within the historic city, the introduction to some of the sites of the 1992 Olympics, a visit to areas that are becoming major centers of artists workshops and cultural activities, among others.
