Furthermore, we are interested in its historical significance as both a modern symbol of Spanish life as well as a reminder of Spain´sSpanish life, as well as a reminder of Spain s rich cultural history. We will do this by analyzing the functions, forms and behaviors of this sitethe functions, forms and behaviors of this site as well as the art pieces (monuments, sculptures, etc.) the park houses.

Israel, Some Place Like Homeon travelon travel

…we feel a thrill when we travel and encounter l th t i diff t l i da place that is new, different, unexplained.

… as in childhood, we again perceive the world around us as an entirety as a sensoryworld around us as an entirety, as a sensory experience of unlabeled, unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells, which we can absorb in an unedited way – not just as signs or symbols.



Four forms of childhood place attachment• Affection – family, love, affection• Transcendence – unforgettable • Ambivalence – tenderness for home mixed

with vulnerability• Realization place invested with elaborate• Realization – place invested with elaborate

national, religious, racial values

Museu d’Art Contemporanide Barcelona: Sarahí Alexei MartaSarahí, Alexei, Marta

• Alexei: Before trip, Santy had never heard of Museu … totally surprised, enamored when he first saw it he normally enjoys modern architecture butenamored, when he first saw it. he normally enjoys modern architecture, but what he especially liked about the building was the contrast to its surroundings— museum, representing new, on one side of plaza, old convent across way… thought architecture of the museum perfectly complemented its l ti ithi ld G thi i hb h d ti diff t b ildi tlocation within old Gothic neighborhood … sun creating a different building at every moment of the day.

• Sarahí: host mom hates building. Although fan of modern art, thinks building bleak and sterile does not like how it is so different from the surroundingbleak and sterile … does not like how it is so different from the surrounding buildings because it is such a historic neighborhood. building reminds her of hospital because it looks so sterile with all the white … did concede that style is appropriate for type of museum although over the top.

• host brother … works in film industry …museum and especially the plaza is one of the most sought after locations to film movies. building provides a perfect modern backdrop that manages to stay a blank slate even with detail of the ramps and lines through window contrast between the museum and


of the ramps and lines through window…. contrast between the museum and surroundings makes for an even better image for the camera.

• transcript, initial coding and memos: divisive building – we see other divisive buildings in Madrid! Function – form – behavior references;

Sketches• Marielle: sketch difficult because of angle, so I changed it to be head-on

instead of at this angle. However, it loses grand presence of the plaza…. many details on buildings of the plaza, especially in the walls and y g p , p ywindows… hard to show art on the walls of the center building. liked this view because it shows mixed uses–tables, benches, homes and shops.

• Siobhan: photo hides fact that there are different buildings quite well. only way to determine the different buildings is actually looking at theway to determine the different buildings is actually looking at the perspectives of the lines – at some point the vertical lines are no parallel. … sorry I could not have gotten more detail into the sketch, but that is the point of the sketch. with a relatively simple building structure, the “beauty” lies in the embellishments and details details which Rybczynski would call civicthe embellishments and details… details, which Rybczynski would call civic art, make me feel there’s a void in architecture today. Drawing and studying the photo made me appreciate plaza a bit more.

• Chloe: most interesting thing was that it was not necessarily the architecture the statue in the middle or even the streetlamps that caughtarchitecture, the statue in the middle, or even the streetlamps, that caught my attention. most prominent feature was empty space…feel the enormity of the space because the statue, which is in the center of the plaza, looks to be miles away. different patterns of stonework on the ground within the plaza which I tried (a little awkwardly) to incorporate I would have really

Architectural Critic:Siobhan, Marielle, Chloe , ,

• ¿Plaza Mayor? ¿en Madrid? asked Santy – because one might easily forget there is more than one. When probed, yes, Plaza Mayor in Madrid, Santy brought to p , y , y , y gattention that almost every city in Spain has a plaza mayor. What distinguishes the plaza madrileña from the others? Nada mucho, apparently.

• Upon reaching the plaza, vast space (at least in winter) grabs attention – not the enclosing structures pretty lamps or statue of Felipe III plaza succeeds in definingenclosing structures, pretty lamps or statue of Felipe III. plaza succeeds in defining and creating a physical parcel of space, but emotional attachment, sense of importance or significance, not apparent. two buildings centered among viviendasand shops and seem grander because of torres, clocks, flags, a mural and obvious entrances. Buildings most readable and seem to have been governmental at oneentrances. Buildings most readable and seem to have been governmental at one time, but no liveliness– no lights, no people entering and leaving. Movement in space surrounding the buildings heightened this isolation, rendering them useless.


Rybczynski: Sarahí, Alexei, Marta

• While considering the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona in terms of Rybczynski’s theory of the city placement of the museumterms of Rybczynski s theory of the city … placement of the museum seems to fit in with the old Spanish model of city planning that has been around since the Laws of the Indies. At the time, important public buildings always congregated around a central plaza, surrounding b id ti l i hb h d b ilt l li d thby residential neighborhood. … museum built on plaza lined on other side by convent, connected to, but still apart from, residential streets.

• City Beautiful movement during the early 1900s, in which cities concentrated on building “civic works ” such as impressive squaresconcentrated on building civic works, such as impressive squares and stately public buildings, which would provide the chief urban and architectural identity of the city….city chose to construct new building that would reflect its purpose and stand out from its surrounding. striking and distinctive look, MACBA a new signature landmark of the neighborhood and the city.
