Theory

Introduction to modern architectural theory and the concepts behind it. Students will feel more confident to understand, contextualise and experience Architecture.

Space and Dimensions

Apart from learning the basics of how to dimension spaces, we will also study the different relationships between the human body and the spaces we inhabit. Structures, furniture, and even products will be analysed to understand how we relate to the world around us.

Analysis of Architectural Works

Some of Barcelona's most unique buildings will be analyzed to learn about their evolution and relationship with the city's public space and to reinforce the students' understanding of their urban and social environment.
