BTOY Barcelona at Color Tracks Gallery
Urban art has been, from its beginning, a way to interpellate the casual viewer, walls, banks or any surfaces with apparently no space for art were the target of this actions.
Color Tracks follows the philosophy that is the work who finds the spectator. The gallery can not be voluntary visited, must be the result of chance, which is where resides its value and impact.

Xavier Escribà i Xita Fornt Quan arribin els marcians TV3
L’obra de Xavier Escribà (París, 1969) es caracteritza per transgredir els límits de la pintura tradicional, la qual enrotlla, arruga o acumula fins a convertint-la en quelcom nou, transgressor i sense forma premeditada.
L'exposició Éloge de l’amour, comissariada per Glòria Bosch i Pàgina 23 / Art i Utopia, presenta diverses obres de l’artista ordenades sota la mirada atenta de disset autors procedents de diferents disciplines no sempre relacionades amb el món de l’art. Un advocat, un físic o una historiadora de l’art, entre d’altres, són les persones encarregades de parlar d’aquesta proposta colorista realitzada a base de capes de colors que es mostren estratigràficament i que deixen al descobert tant les capes de pintura acrílica com el suport, que ha abandonat la seva funció primera per rebolcar-se, enèrgicament, amb la pintura.
Conxita Fornt (Barcelona, 1934) es va especialitzar en art a l’Escola Eina entre els anys 1981 i 1983 al costat d’Albert Ràfols-Casamada, Francesc Artigau, Javier Serra de Rivera, Francesc Todó, Sergi Aguilar, Ernest Fontecillas o Patricio Vélez. Des d’un inici figuratiu, el seu treball desemboca en un univers de formes abstractes per tal d’arribar a copsar tot allò que no té forma i que conviu amb elements tangibles dins d’un espai que emana lirisme, color i llum.
En aquesta mostra titulada “La bellesa de la figura humana”, Xita Fornt ha volgut plasmar el nu, atreta per l’estudi de la figura humana. Després de “Geometria i Color”, l’obra de Fornt evoluciona conjugant l’abstracte i el figuratiu.

Out of Many, One by artist Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada
Out of Many, One was commissioned by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery and created by Cuban American urban artist, Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada. This giant portrait was placed temporarily on the National Mall from Oct. 4 through Oct. 31, 2014.
For the work titled “Out of Many, One,” the English translation of E pluribus unum, Rodríguez-Gerada is using dozens of images of people photographed in Washington, D.C., to create a composite portrait that will be an interactive walk-through experience for visitors and also be viewable from the newly reopened Washington Monument. The work is so large it is also visible via satellite. The project covers 6 acres and falls midway between the World War II and Lincoln memorials along the south side of the Reflecting Pool.
“Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada’s work demonstrates that the art of portraiture knows no boundaries,” said Kim Sajet, director of the Portrait Gallery. “Who we are, how we perceive others, those we recognize and those we place in high esteem constantly shifts over time. Portraits and the people they represent can be as big as we are willing to imagine.”
Rodríguez-Gerada has translated his drawing into a digital format incorporating parallel lines. Currently each line is being drawn out using TopCon high-precision satellite navigation receivers on the ground. The image is created using different colors of dirt and sand based on these lines. The GPS technology allows the artist to place the large-scale image at the location with high resolution and precision.
““This portrait, a stunning compilation of American faces, reflects the unique composition of the National Mall’s 29 million annual visitors and honors the legacy of diversity that has made this park—and our country—so great,” said Caroline Cunningham, president of the Trust for the National Mall.
The installation began in September 2014 and was completed by October 1, 2014. The project required approximately 2,000 tons of sand, 800 tons of soil, 10,000 wooden pegs and 8 miles of string. At the conclusion of the temporary exhibition, the high-quality sand and dirt was tilled back into the soil to help the National Park Service as they move forward with the next phase of turf restoration on the National Mall. The sand-soil composition will leave the grounds in better condition than when the project began.
“‘Out of Many, One’ reflects what the National Mall stands for—democracy, diversity and freedom of expression,” said National Mall and Memorial Parks Superintendent Bob Vogel. “It will provide visitors with a unique national park experience and, in keeping with our mission, will improve the soil for better turf in the future. These benefits would not be possible without this unique partnership.”
Rodríguez-Gerada, born in Cuba and raised in New Jersey since the age of 3, has worked in this style of urban portraiture since 2002. His art aims to create a dialogue about the concept of identity, and it questions the role models who are chosen to represent people in the public sphere. These works have no negative environmental impact and are created to poetically blend back into the land.
All of Rodríguez-Gerada’s large-scale “facescapes” can be seen from space and are part of his TERRESTRIAL series; this is the first placed in the United States. Others have been created in Barcelona, Spain; Amsterdam; and Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Nice Paper Model of Sagrada Familia

Model of the Temple where we see the facade of Glory. The Sagrada Família is also known as the Cathedral of the poor in the name of a homonymous painting by Joaquim Mir. The Sagrada Família also been musical tributes. The group British of rock Progressive Alan Parsons Project dedicates a song to the monument in 1987 in the disk conceptual Gaudí, which celebrates the life and work of the architect. Following the same approach, the Barcelona group Pyramid dedicates his record Gaudí's legacy to the master and made numerous references to the Sagrada Família.
The Sagrada Família, is a large basilica catholic (lower), still under construction, masterpiece of the architect Antoni Gaudí, the greatest exponent the Catalan modernism. The position assumes the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona's urban fabric is the issue that over the years has attracted the most controversy. When the work began, the area was primarily agricultural, but in the early twentieth century, thanks to the rapid urban development, the church was incorporated into the city.
In 2008, during a dispute between the town hall of Barcelona and Patronage of the basilica on whether to not dig underground tunnels near the building to not put at risk the stability, it bounced in the press the news that the Sagrada Familia would not have an administrative concession and therefore would have been, at least formally.
When Gaudí took over the direction of the works of the Sagrada Familia, only the crypt was built. The new architect, even if intended to change the design of the church, he decided not to overturn what had already been built; he modified only capitals, from a style Corinthian one inspired by plant forms.
The architect has assimilated the helical form to the movement and the iperboloidale to light. Gaudí over the years changed the conception that he had of the Sagrada Familia, and the interruption of the work due to the lack of economic resources gave him time to look for new structural solutions. He managed in this way to take advantage of the experiments carried out in other projects to incorporate in the Church its most successful innovations: the crypt of the Colonia Güell and the galleries and viaducts of Güell Park helped him to adopt new architectonic solutions based on hyperboloids and paraboloids. Similarly, the towers of the Sagrada Familia have been inspired by the unrealized project of Franciscan Catholic Missions in Tangiers.
Gaudí designed the interior of the Sagrada Familia as if it was the structure of a forest, with columns in the form of trees that are to divide to form the branches that support the structure at times hyperboloids intertwined.
An architectural model is a physical representation scaled a building, urban design, or parts thereof. The representation can be very simple, only volumes, to extremely detailed, like a diorama. The use varies from a faster model, for reference, exploration or analysis to highly finished models for promotion or project presentations to clients or the public. In addition to the architectural and urban models, models are also developed territories.
The materials used to make the different parts of the model are varied, such as wood, cork, cardboard (carton foam, etc.), plastic, acrylic, foam, glass (bases), sandpaper, sponge, clay, metal (plate), etc. There are also companies that specialize in making decorative elements for scale models, such as plants, furniture, doors, human figures, vehicles, and many others. Among the most used in the creation of the models battery materials highlights the role, but can be replaced by cardboard, coated paper, etc.
The technology of 3D printing, which allows for real models from data of a virtual model in CAD 3D, has revolutionized the world of model making, as the final model can be obtained in hours instead of weeks. 3D printers use a mixture of binder and composite to produce the model (or parts) directly in color.
Models are usually made in order to obtain a better impression of a building than one can get by means of a drawing. Models were also used for controlling the draft of a factory. Nowadays, the latter replaced by 3D computer graphics and computer-aided design.

Open House Lecture: “Knowledge Transfer in the Design Professions: Learning from Barcelona
The larger question guiding this panel concerns the transferability of models, ideas, or practices in the urban design professions. Can practices deemed successful in one city be effectively transferred to another? Likewise, can compelling ideas developed in one of the design disciplines (urban design, planning, architecture, landscape architecture) transform practices in the other? Barcelona is world-renowned for both its architecture and its regulatory successes in preserving and expanding public and green spaces, advancing the goals of urban compactness, generating a vibrant urban and cultural economy, and building infrastructure with metropolitan aims in mind. This panel, offering an opportunity for reflection and dialogue among GSD faculty, will take a closer look at the case of Barcelona. Panelists from each of the departments will speak about the city, its influences in their fields, and the larger pedagogy of knowledge transfer in the design professions. Moderated by Diane Davis, Charles Dyer Norton Professor of Regional Planning and Urbanism and chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design; with Joan Busquets, Martin Bucksbaum Professor in Practice of Urban Planning and Design; Carles Muro, associate professor of architecture; and Chris Reed, AB ’91, associate professor in practice of landscape architecture.

Wonne Ickx: “Specific Objects”
Wonne Ickx is a cofounder of PRODUCTORA, formed in 2006 with Abel Perles, Carlos Bedoya, and Victor Jaime. Ickx is also a cofounder of LIGA, Space for Architecture, an independent platform that promotes emerging Latin American architects. In his lecture, he will discuss the cross-contamination between these two practices, focusing on the studio’s first cultural infrastructure projects, a theater space in Cuernavaca and a community center and museum in Oaxaca; and its first project in the U.S., a residential remodel and addition in Los Angeles. Ickx will also discuss the exhibition Spaces Without Drama, curated by LIGA and opening in February, 2017 at the Graham Foundation in Chicago, which addresses the relationship between architecture and theatricality, taking Aldo Rossi’s Little Scientific Theater (1979) as a central reference point to develop new commissions. PRODUCTORA has won many awards for its work, including the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects in 2007, the Emerging Voices Award in 2013, and the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize for Emerging Architects in 2016. He has taught at UCLA and at several universities in Mexico; currently, he is a design critic in architecture at Harvard GSD for the Spring 2017 semester.
Jean-Louis Cohen, The Art of Zigzag: Le Corbusier’s Politics
2/25/16
The concomitant publication in 2015 of three books about Le Corbusier, all of them critical of his ideological failings, triggered heated polemics focusing on his engagement with the leading political forces of the first half of the twentieth century. Yet the view held by these authors, for whom Le Corbusier was a man viscerally committed to far-right groups, does not stand up to a more comprehensive analysis of his political passions. Le Corbusier was also engaged in a cyclical flirtation with the Left and other forces. Perhaps the time has come to consider him less as an agent of political power than a manipulator who tried to exploit political powers in order to achieve his own architectural and urban goals.
Jean-Louis Cohen is Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at New York University, specializing in nineteenth- and twentieth-century architecture and urbanism in Germany, France, Italy, Russia and North America, as well as contemporary issues in architecture, town planning, and landscape design. He is also a Chevalier des Arts & Lettres in France and a member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome and the Russian Academy of Architecture. He is author of several books and was curator of the 2013 exhibition Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York.
