Cantallops Valeri, Lluís
Manuel Ribas was an all-rounder: architect,
lawyer, Professor of Urban Design at the ETSAB, bibliophile, disseminator and inveterate traveller.
A connoisseur of European culture, he was in-
fluenced by Gaston Bardet, whom he met in the
1950s, and whose "culturalist" approach to urbanism he adopted as opposed to the prevailing doctrine of functionalism.
Drawing on the shared experiences of the two
professors in some 20 journeys, this tribute presents some of the issues that most keenly interested Ribas Piera. One was his passion for landscape, as a constant throughout his long career, recounted in the discovery of a graveyard, a stroll around some gardens or in his contemplation of a viaduct across a valley. Then there was his natural
intellectual curiosity in the history, architecture and urbanism of the towns and cities he visited:
from Goteborg to Rotterdam, from classical Greece to Iran, and from the cities of Germany to the Tarn valley.

Sagarra Trias, Ferran
Grandson, son and father of architects, renowned professor and honoured urban planner, Manuel Ribas Piera was the foremost promoter of international relations at the Barcelona School of Architecture, inviting the best known architects of the time (such as Stirling, Kleihues and Aymonino), and co-founder, with Giancarlo de Carlo, of the ILAUD programme (International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design).
He set up the pioneering landscape architecture studies in Catalunya, now an international point of reference. His overt cosmopolitanism went hand in hand with a staunch commitment to the city of Barcelona, at metropolitan and local level, as shown by plans for Bellvitge and El Carmel, and his openly voiced disagreement with some political decisions. For all of these
reasons, we thank him posthumously for his
great skill, his friendship, his culture, his generosity, his tenacity and his example.

The exhibition "Barcelona, Links" and its catalogue identify seven central hubs in the metropolitan city with problems of continuity that disrupt the eficiency of urban reality. The title includes a reference to the urbanistic discussion of the Barcelona of the early 1900s, which proposed a system to link the towns and villages in the Barcelona Plain (Jaussely's Plan). A contemporary viewpoint and academic papers explore possible alternatives to important issues
for the city's future that look beyond local
scope to connect with more complex systems
and involve the city’s image and functions.
The author suggests that this line of academic research could have positive outcomes if it is coordinated with present-day citizen participation, in keeping with the established tradition of studies at the Laboratori d'Urbanisme.

Bacardit Segués, Francisco; Ruisánchez Capelastegui, Manuel
The recently opened factory for creation and
school for the arts is the subject of an Aperitiu by the LUB, which turns the seminar discussion into a site visit. The practices of Francesc Bacardit and Manuel Ruisánchez were the winners of the ideas competition to remodel the main mill in the old Fabra i Coats textile complex in the Sant Andreu district of Barcelona.
The build (Ciutat de Barcelona Prize 2012)
is an interesting exercise in consolidating the factory's features and structure to enhance the flexibility and complexity of the new programmes introduced. It is a powerful intervention and an exciting event at the service of new social practices coming out of the metropolitan environment, presented and discussed in Aperitiu format.

Crosas Armengol, Carles; Gómez Escoda, Eulalia Maria
The urban transformation of Paral·lel, one of
the principal avenues marking the boundary of
the Eixample, is a topical issue in Barcelona.
A few years ago, the rehabilitation of the emblematic Molino (BOPBAA arquitectos) was the first step in a socio-cultural movement to recover the memory of a street that, less than a century ago, was the place to go for entertainment, leisure and vice in the city. Rehabilitation of the theatre was followed by diagnostic studies and interventions proposed by a versatile team of eight young architects, determined to rediscover
the present-day potential of the avenue.
The results suggest a rich urban imaginary that refers, without nostalgia, to its glorious past (splendidly illustrated in the recent exhibition at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona).
The LUB's Aperitius format highlights
the main issues of debate about the future of
Paral·lel.

Vidal Pla, Miguel; Ayala, Angélica
This study carried out in Dogon country forms
part of a research project about extreme cultural landscapes carried out by the Ginna Kanda collective, associated with the UPC and
directed by the lecturer Miquel Vidal. It began with a study of the territorial structure of Dogon settlements in the particular topography of the Bandiagara Escarpment. Here, the Dogon people constructed a fascinating vertical landscape,
the product of a fluid vertical succession
where nature, culture and architecture combine (UNESCO World Heritage List).
The new cartography is based on an interpretation of the physical and the intangible elements of the place and is a means to establish specific actions. It advocates "hypo-development", taking into account economic, social and touristic
variants, while striking a balance with the
cultural and landscape heritage.

Hidalgo Cepeda, Nancy Rocío
The article deals with the origins and the spatial expression of the first stations of Santiago de Chile’s Metro system, built in the 1970s as features in a major urban project: the modernization of the city by building new road and transport infrastructures, a project headed by architect and urban planner Juan Parrochia. The stations were built to be an essential part of public space, as key pieces in a new "urban system" which, with their architecture and location, addressed both
the technological requirements of this means
of transport and the needs and opportunities of each of the places where they were constructed.
Using surveys and photographic records, and the analysis and representation of the location and architecture of each station, the history of various urban projects around the Metro is reconstructed, looking beyond the stations to reflect the new metropolitan
dimension of the city as a whole.

Gómez Escoda, Eulalia Maria
Shortly after the demolition of its town walls, Barcelona saw the appearance of the first passageways, concentrated around its Plaça Reial. Today there are 15 or more, scattered throughout Ciutat Vella. Built over a century ago in the archetypal image of the French passages, today they still look almost as they did then. Some remain commercial in nature, others stand out as unitary projects; very few have service as a function. Some are public thoroughfares, others are private space; some have gates that always stand open, others have railings that are sometimes locked. They are little-known but interesting corners in a
medieval city that is now given over to visitors and tourists. And, as though oblivious to their surroundings, they manage to stand alone, an opportunity for anything to happen.
