Project

I am currently writing a book about my district: the “Guia Sentimental de l’Eixample”, soon to be published by Pòrtic. Despite still being in a very initial phase, the book aims to be a journey through the landscape of the grid in its different neighbourhoods (Dreta, Esquerra, Nova Esquerra, Sant Antoni, Fort Pienc i Sagrada Família), a description of the particularities of the Cerdà plan (with special emphasis on the interiors of the blocks, the chamfers and the squares), as well as a reflection on the thought of the Barcelona engineer and the subsequent modification of his distributive plan for the centre of Barcelona. I will also talk about restaurants and bars, which is what I really dominate.
