approach In a two week workshop the Barcelona district of El Raval was researched from an anthropological and architectural perspective. As architectural students do not only provide an analysis of the district but also show an approach towards the future of Raval. The research was started of by an open approach of going around, living daily habits, speaking with people on the streets and in shops without a direct goal.
introduction
Based on individual interests and experiences, a selection was made of these initial research results.
In combining the diverging layers a common ground for further research was found: The focus was set to boundaries, voids, light, narrow spaces and the specific materiality of different architectural elements. The research continued in the various layers: the experience of inhabitants, the presence of voids, the influence of the sky and light, flows and the structure of the ground.
