We got a crazy cab ride with no ventilation in the pitch black winding mountain roads at 5 am. Got on the bus at 6 and I passed out, apparently snored, "like a mountain lion" the whole ride home, got back and hit up studio.
We had a group desk crit today, and while our analysis wasn't uniform due to a changed template size over teh weekend and a simple difference in drawing technique/style, the overall idea of "integration" went over well. There are a lot of things that are currently separated across the huge hole in the urban fabric, better known as Placa de les Glories; it is divided in half, literally, into two districts (L'Eixample and Sant Marti), there is a urban design gap between the residential/commercial Eixample and the factory-getting-a-facelift section of Poble Nou. There is also the difference between the Mountain and the sea sides. We are going to look into the population as well, since we have heard that a younger crowd of many artsy people is in the developing area toward Poble Nou and Forum.
After studio today, I went to buy the plane tickets that I had seen last week before going skiing, and due to our hesitance we lost the good prices and everything jumped about 30 euro. I'm pretty pissed. We did decide, though, that we could take the bus to Girona in order to save money on a Ryan Air flight into Dusseldorf/Weeze airport in Germany. So we currently havea means of getting to our spring break destination! Go team.
