Conference Agenda

Focused on the area of the Pompeu Fabra University Ciutadella Campus, this visit guided by the Elisava Design for City Making research group explores different forms of spatial transformations which involve architecture and design, based on concepts of permanent and temporary interventions where heritage, spatial values and users play important roles. The visit will focus on three projects in a single block: at the UPF library (Clotet-Paricio), an adaptive reuse of a heritage building; the UPF classrooms (F451 arquitectura), a long-lived temporary building; and the RAW project (Elisava DxCM), an ephemeral intervention in a school playground.

Meeting point: corner of the streets Ramón Turró and Ramón Trias Fargas at 10:00

Interpreting and adapting the ideas of the local Agency of Urban Ecology, in recent years Barcelona's municipal administration carried out several urban interventions like the Superblocks, the Green Axes, and the generation of new Urban Glorias Park, aimed at mitigating the effects of climatic change on urban environment, reducing traffic, and testing a post-oil urban model based on different uses of the public space not only connected to traditional mobility. The visit will focus on area around the Sant Antoni Market and Consell de Cent street, in the Barcelona's Eixample.

Meeting point: corner of the streets Ronda de Sant Antoni and Comte d'Urgell at 10:00
