Barcelona is a living museum where architectural visions co-exist across centuries.
In this episode of ArchDaily’s Architecture City Guide, we travel through decades of innovation—from the organic shapes of Catalan Modernisme to 1970s radical housing and adaptive reuse. We explore four landmark projects that reveal two distinct architectural philosophies: Antoni Gaudí’s nature-inspired masterpieces, Park Güell and the Sagrada Família, alongside Ricardo Bofill’s groundbreaking transformations, La Fábrica and the Walden 7 vertical community.
Beyond these icons, Barcelona’s identity continues to evolve through interventions at Casa Batlló, CaixaForum by Arata Isozaki, and the Agbar Tower by Jean Nouvel.
