Architekturführer Barcelona

Barcelona is a place of longing for tourists and a paradise for architecture enthusiasts. But Barcelona is much more than that. In the midst of a turning point, where the city has set new goals for itself, this architecture guide seeks to uncover what makes its enduring appeal and what the reason is behind the highly praised model of Barcelona. Reading the urban layers is akin to observing the firmament, where some celestial bodies shine brightly, some merely glow, and others have already extinguished. This architecture guide aims to bring the hidden and forgotten stars back to light. With over 200 presented buildings, it focuses on modern urban development, which could only begin after the city walls were torn down, and delves into the history of a modern city that has been significantly shaped by its architectural avant-garde.
