The objective of this University of Calgary term-abroad design studio was to urbanize, in the formerly industrial Diagonal Mar area of Barcelona, an empty triangular lot wedged between a park with luxury high rise towers on one side and a long, zig-zagging social housing project from the 1960s on the other.
Students first worked in groups of three on an urban design proposal for the triangular site, and then developed components of the plan individually.
