Life Lived Publicly in Three Barcelona Plazas

Placa Virreina, Placa Angel and Placa del Pi

People in Spain live life very publicly, and most of their public life takes place in neighborhood or district plazas. One of the assignments for the study tour has been to compare three different plazas - organic, medieval Placa del Pi, rational Virreina, and modern Placa Angel in from of MACBA. Each student then selected one of the plazas for more in-depth observation of that plaza's physical chracteristics and cultural patterns.
