  • The Vision of a Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
    HARVARD DESIGN SCHOOL THE VISION OF A GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM IN BILBAO In a March 31, 1999 article, the Washington Post? posed the following question: "Can a single building bring a whole city back to life? More precisely, can a single modern building designed for an abandoned shipyard by a laid-back California architect breath new economic and cultural life into a decaying industri- al city in the Spanish rust belt?" Still, the issues addressed by the article illustrate only a small part of the multifaceted Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao. A thorough study of how this building was conceived and made reveals equally significant aspects such as getting the best from the design architect, the master handling of the project by an inexperienced owner, the pivotal role of the executive architect-project man- ager, the dependence on local expertise for construction, the transformation of the architectural profession by information technology, the budgeting and scheduling of an unprecedented project without sufficient information. By studying these issues, the greater question can be asked: "Can the success of the Guggenheim museum be repeated?" 1 Museum Puts Bilbao Back on Spain’s Economic and Cultural Maps T.R. Reid; The Washington Post; Mar 31, 1999; pg. A.16 Graduate student Stefanos Skylakakis prepared this case under the supervision of Professor Spiro N. Pollalis as the basis for class discussion rather to illustrate effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation, a design process or a design itself.

  • Bilbao, Spain
    2013 Remaking Cities Congress Re-Positioning the Post-Industrial City in the Global Economy Case Study Summary Bilbao, Spain Juan Alayo Bilbao Ria 2000 October 3, 2013 Over the last 30 years, Bilbao has evolved from a city with severe environmental problems and a structurally run-down industrial system to being one of the most attractive cities in Europe to live in, visit and invest in. Bilbao has undergone a remarkable and recognized transformation, living out a dream which has put the city at the international forefront of urban transformation, but along with this physical transformation we have to also highlight its economic and knowledge transformation. Founded in the year 1300 as a medieval villa or town, Bilbao became in 1511, when the trade and shipping office or Consulado was created, a trade outlet and subsequently, at the end of the 19th century, it was transformed into an industrial city covering its entire metropolitan area. The industrial stage experienced a major crisis between late 70s and early 80s and facing a need for change, the City lived a physical change undergoing a resetting in the economic scheme, in early 80s Basque Country’s economy structure accounted 48% Industry sector and 36% Service Sector, between 1983 and 2008 this became 62% Services and 27% Industry and after the Urban transformation Bilbao has been focusing its economy in Creativity, New Technologies, Innovation moving forward to Knowledge economy. Reopening citizenship to a new attitude towards the global sphere was also a hard task for authorities but the City’s success restored their faith in the future of Bilbao, lost during the harsh years of economic crisis.

To study effective strategies of LRT adaption, field surveys were conducted at cities where LRT systems were placed in Spain with data collection of urban characteristics adjacent conditions, accommodating spatial conditions, effectiveness of service and project management. This paper aims to clarify the specific requirements to make LRT adaption possible. The results indicate, beyond the need for middle range transportation systems, the importance of the following: potential contribution to inner city revitalization, environmental concerns, land use conditions and spatial composition needed by adjacent businesses.
