Maqueta “Pla de Barcelona 2026-2035” i exposició del “making of”

The Pla de Barcelona 2026-2035 scale model has been created to mark the celebration of World Capital of Architecture and will be permanently displayed at the former headquarters of the publisher Gustavo Gili, beyond 2026, as one of the outstanding elements of its legacy.Beyond being a physical representation of the city, the model is an educational and urban analysis tool at the service of citizens, conceived as an instrument of knowledge and dissemination. It makes it possible to better understand what Barcelona is like, how it was formed and how it has grown over time. It is conceived as a living object, designed to be easily updated by incorporating the new areas of transformation and the strategic projects the city is defining for the coming years, so that the future evolution of the Barcelona metropolis can be visualised. One of the model's main values is its high level of detail, especially in buildings and urbanised spaces, which offers an image very close to the real city. This degree of precision, made possible by the use of advanced 3D representation technologies, artificial intelligence and digital printing, facilitates the recognition of neighbourhoods, streets and landmark buildings. In this way, it helps to understand key aspects of the city, such as its urban structure, the complexity of its volumetry and the diversity of the fabrics that shape and identify the different urban areas. Through information layers superimposed via augmented reality, the model makes it possible to visualise complex processes such as the city's historical evolution, the transformation projects under way or future proposals. In this way, it becomes an interactive platform for analysing, explaining and imagining the Barcelona of yesterday, today and tomorrow."
