el resto de la Placa de los Glories: the rest of Plaza de los Glories

While I have a ton of photos of the site and surrounding areas, they aren't much to behold aesthetically as they are mostly buildings being torn down and the photos were taken with the intent to portray information for site analysis more than for your viewing pleasure...instead I've just dropped in a few images of the area near and dear to the site, itself.

PLACA DE LES GLORIES

EL TEATRO NACIONAL DE CATALUNYA

L'AUDITORIO: THE LANTERN--an exterior space that is open to the sky above; this reminded me of my project for a loft space sophomore year and also of Rich's sacred space project, but with completely different context! Overall an amazing space, even if uninhabited aside from the occasional passer-by or architecture class!

After coffee next to the lantern, we were turned loose to find our way back to the studio where Christi was waiting to give desk crits on the boards for our first project. We sent Bob on a dinner-buying expedition and surprised him with donuts and "Happy Birthday" on his return just to let him know we didn't forget ;)

Rob brought home fishsticks...LITERALLY; the guy at the store took the frozen fish that Rob wanted and cut it up with a saw (bones, guts, and all...) good thing I'm not a huge fan of fish, huh? It's cool, though, because Bob and Bri did up an all-star meal of fish sticks (from the box), corn, and homemade potato chips...outstanding!
