If phallic symbols and other sundry ego-trips are your cup of tea, then get your inspirational injection here! An architect (whacky glasses and aluminium briefcase optional) will act as your guide to explain how competition between the titanic egos of internationally-famed architects is shaping a unique district. This tour takes in some of the areas subject to the most ambitious redevelopment Barcelona has seen in recent years –Poble Nou and the Diagonal Mar area. We’ll be looking at some prestigious, award-winning projects (including the Torre Agbar, Design Museum, the Fòrum building) by world-renowned architects (Jean Nouvel, David Chipperfield, Oriol Bohigas, etc.) considering them both on their own merits and their impact, individual and collective, on the surrounding area. Aspects looked at will include smart design, planning issues and sustainability (e.g. how a nitrogen capsule contributes to insulating a building).

The Eixample, the district created around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, is a Mecca for fans of Modernista (or Art Nouveau) architecture, unique in the world. It is more than just Gaudí, its most famous exponent. This area, and the Eixample Dreta in particular, is full of gems designed by other architects. During this tour we focus on lesser known, more unusual buildings and creations which house flats, pharmacies, shops, bars, markets, etc.
