I learnt more on contemporary architecture with the Arquibus

From october 1st to 8th is taking place in Barcelona the city's architecture week: Archiset.
One of the many activities organized around the event is a bus tour around some of the most representative sites that have received the Barcelona architecture price, the FAD.

I followed the tour with a friend of mine, Eva Palacios, who is an architect, because I wanted to learn more things that I could use in my Contemporary Architecture tours. So far, my tours have covered the "star sites" by big international architects such as Jean Nouvel, Richard Rogers, Frank Gehry and so on. Now I'll be able to add a few more sites by Spanish architects that might be interesting for highly specialized clients.

Ivan, the architect-guide, was very professional and helpful, although we were disappointed to see that due to the Barcelona RedBull Air Race, a big part of the itinerary had been cancelled and nothing had been previewed to subsitute it... Well, at least after the tour Ivan was happy to answer all our questions on the sites we were most interested in.

You can still take the tour until October 8th (although there might be problems with the tour on the 7th due to the bus strike).
