6 photo: Adrià Goula photo: Adrià Goula Mercado de la Barceloneta Carrer del Baluart Barcelona "When I was a student at the Barcelona School of ure (ETSAB), Barceloneta was the subject of much conversation Restaurants on the beach which later disappeared narrow streets, cramped flats, the clothes hanging out on the balconies, the shops, the artisans' workshops and its people, who talked, and still talk, fast and loud The project meant a chance to go back to the neighbourhood in an interested manner; it was no longer a trip down there for fun, to discover its people, its bars, its smell but rather a survey of the place with the object of identifying what would enable us to reveal its qualities and to describe it accurately for the purposes of a project An attempt, ultimately, to explain a reality, to offer a new and fuller meaning to an architectural project, beyond resolving a programme or commission" Text by the architect photo: Adrià Goula Floor area/size m² MiAS Arquitectes miasarquitectes Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays: ( h) Tuesdays: h and h Fridays: h Saturdays: h L4 Barceloneta Metro Station 6
