Architectural and city trails

What is in between architecture? History, culture and city as public and complex phenomenon.
Architour, an office of architects, has this philosophy. Routes are therefore an immersion in the city in order to induce travelers and partakers to questioning and feedback.

General details


The new Barcelona
contrasts radical contemporary architecture with the vibrant factory heritage of the area once known as the "Catalan Manchester":  the paradigm of Barcelona's industrial textile revolution and ferment of a new sociology, the Catalan bourgeoisie. This trip through 22@, the district of knowledge, innovation and new technologies, will take you as far as the Forum, the symbolic final stretch of the iconic Diagonal Avenue, which ends at the sea. The Agbar Tower, The Media Pro Building, Me Hotel or The Telefonica Tower, among others, show a city of dazzling skyscrapers. Can Framis or Ca Aranyó Building form part of another architectural group. Patios, porches or gardens are fundamental exterior spaces that induce dialogue between industrial history and modernity. Diagonal Mar Park -an emotional and sensorial experience- and Poblenou Central Park -a dream shelter- also enrich this tour of diversity.
