  • BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer
    BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA DIAGONAL Lluís Permanyer La Diagonal és el carrer més important del Pla de l’Eixample. L’urbanista Ildefons Cerdà li va atorgar unes característiques que el singularitzen en el sentit físic: llargada, amplada i posició. Els seus onze kilòmetres, els noranta- dos metres de la zona universitària i la forma com talla la trama de les mansanes evidencia un protagonisme indiscutible. Supera el Paral·lel i la Meridiana, que constituïen el que Cerdà va qualificar com a “via transcendental”, és a dir, avingudes ràpides per unir nuclis de població allunyats. En aquest cas: Sarrià, Gràcia, Clot i Poblenou. Totes tres van ser les úniques que van rebre de Cerdà el nom, ja que els altres carrers van ser batejats per Víctor Balaguer. El seu desenvolupament va ser més aviat lent i en tres grans etapes ben diferenciades. PRIMERA ETAPA La primera etapa va girar al voltant de la influència del passeig de Gràcia. En efecte, el 1884 va començar amb timidesa l’urbanització entre l’esmentat passeig i Pau Claris. El 1896 s’estenia ja entre Bruc i Tuset, que no era res més que el camp del mateix nom, que era el del mas i el seu propietari. El 1901 aquell extrem de la nova Barcelona era tan inhòspit, que el marquès de Robert es reconeixia més segur portant pistola en arribar tard a casa, quan venia del Liceu. Es curiós que abans d’acabar segle XIX (1891) li fos canviat el nom, almenys en aquell sector evocat fins ara, i que pertanyia a Gràcia; li van atorgar el d’ Argüelles.

THE CONSOLIDATION OF LANGUAGES ART PÚBLIC. REPTES I OPORTUNITATS (I). LA CONSOLIDACIÓ DELS LLENGUATGES Antoni Remesar CR POLIS. Universitat de Barcelona [email protected] Abstract II.- This is an article on public art, city and urban governance. It is structured as historical narrative initiated in Rotterdam when the reconstruction of the city started.. It is both a written and a visual narrative story. For deliveries, with a hypertext structure. I recommend reading on screen and with a good search engine to link lecura and images with the expansion of information. It is not a history, is the summary of stories. Conceptual, cognitive and personal. We jump from city to city. Most of the images who join us have been taken by the author. Public art and urban design creates a mapping and a temporality in contrast with the literature on the topic, chosen personally and with an interdisciplinary vocation. The reader can follow the text or stopping at the tables. Combine text with pictures. Using the possibilities of augmented reality. The work concludes with a case study dedicated to Josep M. Subirachs. Key Words: city; design; sculpture, public art, urban design, art history Resumen II.- Este es un articulo sobre arte público, ciudad y gobernanza urbana. Se articula como un relato histórico iniciado en Rotterdam cuando se iniciaba la reconstrucción de la ciudad. Es a la vez un relato escrito y un relato visual.
