Barcelona
planners work explored
A traveling
exhibition, Cerdá: The Barcelona Extension,
which focuses on Ildefons Cerdàs urban planning
projects, is on exhibit through Monday, Nov. 10, in the Quiet
Room of the SUB.
Cerdàs
work is unusual because of its highly developed theoretical
context and social content, and because its implementation has
powerfully affected the subsequent growth and vitality of the
city [Barcelona, Spain]. It provided a regional urban design
context in Catalonia that lent itself to the architectural innovations
of the modernists Gaudí, Domènech and Puíg,
said David Henkel, UNMs Community and Regional Planning
program director.
