“Society tells you have to get a proper profession….While most people always loved making things with their hands, choosing something that’s tactile, that you can feel with your fingers, something that’s real. But in the digital realm you cannot feel it this way. In a way now…we have to go digital to get analog”.
Shoe repairing in Barcelona is one of the dying trades that we want to reactivate
watch repairing, steel works,carpentry, all amazing professions with a local heritage
BARCELONA HERITAGE
We are an international group of students from around the world, we witness that cities are quickly becoming the new countries in which we relate ourselves too. Gaudi’s work has undoubtably left a mark of unique character on the city of Barcelona. However, with continued globalization and urban changes around the world’s cities they are quickly loosing identify, all looking the same.
The strong community of the city, which has not only created contemporary Barcelona – one of the most pleasant urban environments in Europe, was also able to stand against the changes, which logically followed the first gentrification wave following the 1992 Olympics.
