IN-PERSON Barcelona. Section B
Abstract
The city’s construction results from a combination of elements created in a planned way that coexists with other more spontaneous ones, giving it a mesh of complex, unique, and unrepeatable manifestations. This urban complexity has attracted countless designers to observe the landscape, recording the various elements and details that compose it in a particular way. This chapter deals precisely with these two dimensions. The complexity that takes place in the construction of urban heritage and the presentation of examples of how it has been observed and recorded by various designers. From the theoretical framework and the case studies, it was possible to project the creation and foresee the relevance of Oporto’s Poetic Archive (Authors), an archive built from the poetic observation of the landscape by designers, presenting itself as a collaborative, digital, and open access platform.
