A reality vs plan exhibition full of different diagrams, plans, models, interactive features, and manifestations of the "Eixample" or city extension, envisaging the future of Barcelona. The project is by Ildefons Cerda, and it has been spaced out over a period of 150 years in order to create a "highly complex city that is rich in nuance."
"More than 200 documents, including plans, models, installations, statistics, audiovisuals and even artistic manifestations (Joan Fontcuberta, Maria Rubert) help to give us a better understanding of the functioning of Barcelona’s Eixample and discover similar urbanistic models around the world, such as New York’s Manhattan, which has a comparable urban layout to that of the Eixample, with some surprisingly similar urban characteristics."
