Viure a les Cases barates del Bon Pastor (1929-2010)

The heritage restitution and exhibition show the key periods in the trajectory of a neighbourhood that is a magnificent example of the city's evolution from the point of view of housing and social cohesion in the neighbourhoods throughout the 20th century. The reconstruction work on four cheap houses reflects the trajectory of Bon Pastor between 1929 and 2010, with a brief epilogue up to 2022. Each house shows one of the great periods that can be distinguished in the history of the neighbourhood: House 1: Scarcity (1929-1952). Life in the cheap houses between two dictatorships House 2: Desarrollismo (1953-1974). A time of recovery and economic growth House 3: Reform (1975-1993). Change of era and perspectives House 4: Rethinking (1994-2010). End of cycle and new expectations The thematic audiovisual capsules, built from testimonies and confirmed by primary documentation, are a notable element in each of the houses. The project moves away from immersive restitutions, in order to stay close to archaeological data and historical research. The exhibition is completed by the documentary Bon Pastor, un segle de Barcelona and the collection of planning documents shown in the multipurpose room.
