Studio Project
On Monday, January 19th at 10am, we had our very first introduction into the courses we would be immersed in this semester. "The Studio project, in particular, will encompass the comprehensive design of a high-speed rail station to include ticketing centers, platforms, commercial components, a hotel, and all essential programmatic requirements in a poetic and comprehensive way. The site for the design is located at the crossing of Carrer d'Arago and Passeig de Gracia, which contribute to the vital 'nexus' already existing. The studio is expected to be enriched by the knowledge gained from the two seminar courses that will run in lockstep with studio. These courses will comprehensively deal
with the theoretical dialogue, experience, and urban morphology, particular to Barcelona, at large, and with regards to specific sites/buildings/spaces, ranging from ancient to modern times, that characterize the meaningful context of the city." While visiting our site, we toured the Casa Batllo, designed by Antoni Gaudi. This house, which has now been turned into a museum, is located on the larger site context of our project. More information about this building will be posted later.
