📖 Educational legacy and modern architecture
This commemorative exhibition revives the memory of the former School of Architecture, which for decades occupied the second floor of the University of Barcelona's Historic Building. The retrospective highlights the institution's pivotal contribution to the education of architects between 1872 and 1962 and the evolution of the discipline.
The exhibition takes place at a landmark moment, coinciding with Barcelona's status as a global capital of architecture and the centenary of the death of Antoni Gaudí, one of the most emblematic students to have walked its halls.
