Exhibition on Vertical Living in Barcelona

The exhibition 'La Barcelona Vertical' explores Barcelona's rapid urban development in the 1960s and 70s, which emerged in response to the housing demand and often included speculative practices. It recounts how vertical living spaces were built to alleviate housing issues while addressing the remnants of earlier informal settlements. This exhibition delves into the architectural and social implications of this transition, providing critical insights into urban planning and its impact on communities. Visitors are invited to reflect on how these developments shaped the city's landscape, while considering modern challenges in urban housing. Gain an understanding of how historical decisions continue to influence Barcelona’s urban fabric today.
