Several excellent projects display this attention to detail, from the choice of urban furniture to the design of pavements and green spaces. Our itinerary will give us an in depth understanding of how the conditions of a public space can improve the citizens’ quality of life.

BCN & MODERNISME  Take this trip through the magic of modernism! Gaudí is probably the most representative of all of the modernist architects, but this trip will take beyond his most famous works to discover the origins and all the details concerning this artistic movement.

The reintroduction of nature inside the industrial city, the symbolism of Catalan tradition and the mysticism involved in it were used as guidelines towards a new architecture, driven by the bourgeoisie in Catalonia. We will get between curvy iron shapes, petrified plants and animals framed by colorful tiles and bricks that will take us to a magical world.
