Landscape architecture/landscapes of architecture: Barcelona ́s recent case

Abstract

The trend identified on Barcelona’s public spaces built throughout the twentieth century latest decades reveals new strategies to both integrate green into the urban network and provide the city a new identity. In these places, the presence of green transcends its pictorial character in order to dialogue with other structural elements of open space, acquiring formal and functional renewed possibilities. These either small or medium interventions entangled with each other to develop along the city territory its urban interstices. Connected as fragments, they are like real parks extended in urban continuum.
