The City - Urban Maps

The city is a living concept, in constant evolution and transformation, where a wide range of disciplines come together. In this framework, and under the name "The City - Urban Maps", ELISAVA School of Design, turns La Capella into a space for work, research and multidisciplinary debate aimed at students of masters and postgraduates at the school like the general public.

The workshop will address the motto "The City - Urban Maps" from two specific lines of research: the documented city and the city as a text. These lines will be the backbone of the various activities that will take place in the five spaces in which La Capella will be organized during the event:

Space Workshop: ELISAVA master's and postgraduate students will work on a specific project that will link the concept of the exhibition with the areas of communication, multimedia interaction and public space.
