Wow, what a week!

This week started off celebrating Matt Arndt's 22nd Birthday on Monday, January 26th. "Happy Birthday Matt!" Tuesday came with the first set of architecture presentations around the city (information about these projects will be posted later). We continued to work hard into the evenings on our studio process work. We're definitely hoping that hard work in the beginning will pay off in the end! On Wednesday, we were invited to a presentation about Landacape Urbanism at the Institut d' Arquitectura Avancada de Catalunya (IAAC). Thursday was filled with excitement for the much anticipated 'Futbol' game. Some students were able to get tickets to Camp Nou, while others just watched from TV. Barcelona now qualifies for the semi-finals of the Kings Cup by winning against Espanyol with a score of 3-2. Even with the game, that didn't stop production of studio work for our group presentations Friday. Our guest critiquer for the discussion was Adam Courtney, a professional photographer traveling from New York we had met within Barcelona.
