Sagrada Familia _ 9:30AM401 Calle Mallorca

Sagrada Familia is a Roman Catholic church designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and in November 2010 was consecrated and proclaimed a minor basilica by Pope Benedict XVI. Though construction of Sagrada Família had commenced in 1882, Gaudí became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it with his architectural and engineering style—combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.

Lunch _ 12:30PM

Casa Batlló _ 1:30PMCasa Batlló is a remodel of a previously built house. It was redesigned in 1904 by Gaudí and has been refurbished several times after that.

The local name for the building is Casa dels ossos (House of Bones), as it has a visceral, skeletal organic quality. It was originally designed for a middle-class family and situated in a prosperous district of Barcelona.

In 1904 Josep Batlló hired Gaudí to design his

building and construct a completely new house. Gaudí convinced Josep that a renovation was

planning application the same year. The building was completed and refurbished in 1906. He completely changed the main apartment which became the residence for the Batlló family. He expanded the central well in order to supply light to the whole building and

Casa Mila _ 3:30PMLa Pedrera—'the quarry'—was the name an astounded population gave to this completely unique building. It could be compared with the steep cliff walls in which African tribes build their cave-like dwellings. The wavy facade, with its large pores, reminds one also of an undulating

by a receding dune. The honeycombs made by industrious bees might also spring to the mind of the observer viewing the snake-like ups-and-downs that run through the whole building. In this last secular building which he constructed before devoting all his energies to the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi created a paradox: an

simultaneously a summary of all the forms that he has since become famous for. The roof sports an imitation of the bench from Guell Park as well as an ever more impressive series of bizarre chimney stacks.

Park Güell_ 5:30PMPark Güell is a garden complex with architectural elements situated on the hill of El Carmel in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí and built in the years 1900 to 1914. It has an extension of 17.18 ha (0.1718 km²), which makes it one of the largest architectural works in south Europe

Roadways around the park to service the intended houses were designed by Gaudí as structures jutting out from the steep hillside or running on viaducts, with separate footpaths in arcades formed under these structures. This minimized the intrusion of the roads, and Gaudí designed them using local stone in a way that integrates them closely into the landscape. His structures echo natural forms, with columns like tree trunks supporting branching vaulting under the roadway, and the curves of vaulting and alignment of sloping columns designed in a similar way to his Church of Colònia Güell so that the inverted catenary arch shapes form perfect compression structures

covered food market by the architectural practice of Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue was completed in 2005. The old Santa Caterina food market revealed a gleaming, undulating and brightly coloured roof designed to be seen from the air. The roof is attached to the building by a wooden structure, and a vast mosaic of coloured ceramic pieces, representing fruit and vegetables, boldly breaks with the traditional look of a market. The market has always been characterised by a desire to innovate. Santa Caterina Market was built in 1845 to provide the neighbourhood’s blue-collar community with foodstuffs.

Mercat de la Boqueria _ 10:30AMRambla, 91

Barcelona dates from 1217, when tables were installed near the old city gate to sell meat. From December 1470 onwards, a pig market was held at this site; at this time it was known as Mercat Bornet. Later, until 1794, it was known simply as Mercat de la

roof that still exists today was constructed in 1914.

The Fundacio Enric Miralles, based on the way of doing and thinking established by Enric Miralles, is a center for the experimentation of contemporary architecture and is conceived of as a platform for the promotion of knowledge.The Fundacio Enric Miralles is responsible for the custody and management of the legacy of the architect Enric Miralles, the work created together with Benedetta Tagliabue, and their many collaborators. The archive includes all project drawings, sketches, notes, photographs, correspondence and approximately one thousand original models. The archive is currently being catalogued and digitized in order to make its contents accessible to everyone. This archive will give the public insight into Enric’s unique intellectual and architectonic design process and will be completely integrated into the Foundation’s activities.

Enric Miralles (Barcelona, 1955, Sant Feliu de Codines, 2000) died young, at the height of his career, when his work had achieved international recognition. The author of outstanding buildings, he combined a genuinely new language with a profound respect for place. He left us a

intellectual body of work: writings, drawings, sketches, photomontages, diaries and almost a thousand original models preserved in his studio.

Gas Natural TowerRonda Litoral

Dominating the Barceloneta skyline, The Gas Natural Tower is one of the most unusual and innovative buildings in Barcelona. The Gas Natural Tower's cutting edge asymetrical design was the brainchild of Catalan architect Enric Miralles and the Italian architect Benedetta Tagliabue.

Since its construction in 2006 the Gas Natural Tower has had its share of admirers and detractors, making it one of the most controversial examples of modern architecture in the city. Its aggressive, gravity-defying design might strike some onlookers as ugly, but from every angle it is an extraordinary visual spectacle worth getting up close to and walking around.

The building is fragmented into three sections, with a four-storey section in the

horizontal 'aircraft carrier' extension jutting

MERCADO DE LA BARCELONETACarrer del Baluard, 23, 08003

One of the major fresh food market of Barcelona follows the Santa Catarina Market strategy: mixing singular and spectacular new architecture with a public program of an important social impact. The Barceloneta Market -located at the heart of the traditional, maritime neighborhood- has been rehabilitated after several years of decay. It was built in the late 19th century by architect Rovira i Trias. The iron roof and façades were the most interesting features of the old market, so Miàs -an ex-collaborator of Miralles- dismantled the old metallic structure and restored it, adding new parts, resulting in a multiple, fragmented roof. While Miralles' Santa Caterina is an explosion of color mixed with the warmth of wood and ceramic elements, Miàs' Barceloneta has more darker and colder aesthetics, probably

Igualada Cemetery ENRIC MIRALLES & BENEDETTA TAGLIABUE EMBT, CARME PINÒS

Igualada Cemetery (also known as Cemetery Nou) was built by Carme Pinòs and Enric Miralles after an architectural competition held in 1984. Following the concept of a river of life as a "swirly stream that eroded the smooth curves of the banks of burial niches" (Peter Buchanan), they created a modern city of

sculpture embedded in the hilly landscape of Catalonia. In addition to a sloping link-up road that leads to a central funeral square, the architects provided a (still

building. The emotional impact of the project focuses on visual forces which appeal to the memories of mourners and visitors. The dynamic shape of walls, ramps and landscape are used as an expression of life's fugacity. Enric Miralles was buried in one of the tombs after his death on July 3rd in 2000.

The Barcelona Pavilion designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain. This

of the German section of the exhibition. It is an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and its spectacular use of extravagant materials, such as marble, red onyx and travertine. The same features of minimalism and spectacular can be applied to the

for the building, among which the iconic Barcelona chair.

Miro FoundationParc de Montjuïc, s/n, 08038 http://fundaciomiro-bcn.org

The idea for the foundation was made in 1968 by Joan Miró. Miró formed the foundation with his friend Joan Prats.[1] Miró wanted to create a new building that would encourage particularly younger artists to experiment with contemporary art. The building was designed by Josep Lluís Sert to ensure that this work could also be made available to the public and exhibited. He designed the building with courtyards and terraces and to create a natural path for visitors to move through the building.

Montjuic Communications TowerSantiago Calatrava Architect

The Montjuïc Communications Tower popularly known as Torre Calatrava and Torre Telefónica, is a telecommunication tower in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, construction on the tower began in 1989 and was completed in 1992. The white tower was built for Telefónica to transmit television coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics Games in Barcelona. The 136 m (446 ft) tower is located in the Olympic park, and represents an athlete holding the Olympic Flame.

The base is covered with trencadís, Gaudí's mosaic technique created from broken tile shards.

Because of the tower's orientation, it works also as a giant sundial, which uses the Europa square to indicate the hour.

PLAÇA DE CARLES BUÏGAS –MONTJUÏC PARKwww.bcn.cat/parcsijardins/fonts/EN/magica.html

The Magic Fountain is the main feature of the collection of waterfalls and ponds on Avinguda Maria Cristina, which stretches from the Palau Nacional to Plaça Espanya in Montjuïc. This is a spectacular fountain which is very popular because of its water arrangements, sound and lighting. 2,600 litres of water are pumped through this great fountain per second in three concentric pools which have a water recirculation system.

Through its connection to the groundwater network of Montjuïc Mountain, the Magic Fountain and the three upper waterfalls are supplied with water coming from subsoil level.

It was built for the 1929 World Fair by Carles Buïgas on the site where The Four Columns by Josep Puig i Cadafalch had stood before being demolished in 1928. Using extremely artisanal methods, up to thirty water arrangements could be used with different colours.

In the 1980s music was added, and shortly before the 1992 Olympic Games it was completely renovated; despite this, the fountain still has a large part of the original mechanisms.

Mercabarna has opened the new building

accessory wholesalers. The market aims to become one of the principal markets in Catalonia and the rest of Spain, and a reference for facilities on European level.

The building claims to transmit an iconic value that is marking its public use. A skin has been designed that besides its formal language and its special character based on folds, expresses several characteristics of identity related to the activities of this sector. Following this concept, the big zinc roof that covers the whole market is designed with parallel linear geometries with different tones in a nonsymmetrical way, imitating the aerial view of the

frame with a multitude of colors that descends and rises to organize entrances along the building, a distinct movement and graphic image that is in line with this Flower Market.

L’Hospitalet de Llobregat

The hotel tower (GF+25)* was designed with an organic form and appears to change as one moves around it. Given the building’s geometrical complexity, the façade is divided into two skins. The inner skin is a sealed envelope based on a light curtain-wall solution with aluminum and glass panels designed to fully meet all acoustic, thermal and sealing requirements. The exterior façade acts as a second skin that provides texture and accommodates the tower’s variable geometry. The skin is made of independent aluminum tubes whose ends are attached to ball-and-socket joints that allow for the desired torsion.
