“The objective of this course is to have an approach to the mapping techniques related with territorial and urban realities, through the physical experimentation of places and the creation of informational maps through digital techniques. Given the process linked to the globalization of economy and culture, architects must be able to recognize alien realities (cities, territories, landscapes) in a deep and fast way. They need to develop techniques to recognize places or their related phenomena to be able to act on them later. For that, it is needed to develop techniques that would enable to measure, draw and relate places and to generate informational maps that can represent physical, economical, environmental and sensorial images.
MAPPING BARCELONA
The first proposed exercise is the study of the historical centre of Barcelona. This urban complex is undergoing deep transformations due to its appropriation by tourism, especially fast consume tourism. In this way, places that were traditionally central spaces for the identity of the city are changing to adapt to the economies that have araised from mass tourism and with the possibility to mode in the low-cost world. Barcelona can witness the densifi cation of pedestrians in the public space, the increase of noise on streets, the eroding process in public space. All of that following relatively loose rules. The objective of this course would be to map this transformation by fi nding the most revealing data of the process.
COURSE STRUCTURE
It is proposed, as an objective, to make ten thematically maps of the city produced with a great deepness in information. These maps will be produced by teams of five to six students. They will work coordinately, generating information and representing it in the agreed way. A complete list of the proposed themes is: Map of noise in the urban centre Map of nationalities of the hotel business Map of shop diversity in the Ramblas. Map of hostels and places of informal residence Map of occupation of the public space To develop the maps there must be a full immersion process in the city. Gathering the information at the appropiate time considering the research to be done. In all cases, maps must include time as well as space (of the whole central area), through a day, a week or a month. The results of the process will be handed to local authorities to be used for future planning of public space.”
First Phase_Group: Las Ramblas Avenue
M.P._Nazli Yucel_Maite Bravo_Krystian Kwiecinski_Gabriel Ochoa_Ismini Koronidi_Asaduzzaman Rassel
Our group focused on the commercial side of Las Ramblas and the conflicts or problems this causes upon the locality of this central street. As a first approach, the whole group, mapped the trashes of Las Ramblas that indicate it’s increased commercialism. By gathering all sorts of trash, we created a model that represented Las Ramblas in site, and by placing the trash in the specific places we would represent all the brands on site.
Second Phase_SubGroup: Tourism and Crime
M.P._Gabriel Ochoa_Ismini Koronidi
For the second phase, we focused on the Tourists that walk through Las Ramblas each day and night and their nationalities, the souvenirs they buy and from what points they can buy them as well as the Crime that represents the nightlife of this street. Its very important to notice the space the people occupy (the empty space) in the street in comparison with the small shops, the green space and all the public activities such as the metro stations.
