An interactive model of Barcelona

The Barcelona Plain 2026–2035 model is an initiative led by the Barcelona city council and coordinated by the model workshop of the UPC’s Vallès School of Architecture (ETSAV), marking the start of the celebration of Barcelona as World Capital of Architecture. Printed entirely in 3D, the model becomes an interactive platform to analyse and explain Barcelona’s past, present and future. It will open to the public on 13 March at the former headquarters of the Gustavo Gili publishing house in Barcelona.
