Atelier Prats of Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio – Study trip to Barcelona
October 2023
The studio carries out walks through the dense old town of Barcelona, visiting the three areas of study: Santa Anna, Sant Agustí and Sant Pau del Camp, where a new Urban Refettorio will be proposed. Each place is discovered by measuring and drawing the existing buildings and the context, interviewing the users and neighbours, and capturing the most significant aspects of each site.
The observational drawings and documents produced are a composition of notes, drawings and measurements of the streets, studies of the relationship between a tree and a house, recognising different typologies, discovering where people meet…this brings into the studio a certain sense of scale of the place, a fundamental reference for the development of the project.
The work on site has been combined with the work in a provisional Atelier in Poblenou, where all the information has been translated into scaled and precise drawings.
