Exhibition ‘Paisajes perdidos’
Some streets disappear without leaving much of a trace. Where there was once a family home, a garden or a small square, there may now be a building that has completely changed the look of the neighbourhood. The exhibition Paisajes perdidos focuses on these urban transformations and everything that is lost with them.
About this event
The exhibition contrasts images of vanished spaces with their current appearance to document how the city’s growth has erased part of its architectural and landscape heritage.
Its perspective is not limited to major monuments. It also highlights the value of traditional buildings, shops, courtyards, streets and green spaces that, for generations, have been part of everyday life.
Through these contrasts, Paisajes perdidos raises a question that directly affects the future of Barcelona: how to meet the needs of a changing city without destroying the elements that give its neighbourhoods their identity.
The exhibition invites visitors to recognise the heritage closest to them, the kind that rarely appears in architecture guides but preserves much of the city’s collective memory.
