URBAN PROPOSAL FOR THE CITY- PORT INTERFACE
The Barcelona City-Port interface is under continue transformation. The limit between the urban port and the industrial logistic area is under movement and is being continually displaced south, opposite to urban positions, in search for areas where to minimize conflict between urban and port activities. At the same time, physically constrained the city of Barcelona is in search for space to provide houses to new comers.
This proposal link port and urban interest through the creation of a continue slab that facilities logistic activities under while permits urban activities above, provide space to enlarge today’s straitjacketed transport infrastructures and solve the link between the city and the bigger park in town, Montjuïc.

HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
CARLOTA CASANOVA: HISTORY OF CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
Carlota Casanova associated Professor at Bussines and Design in EUBusinessSchool.
The course is designed to introduce students to the history of contemporary design by generating a historic, theoretical and conceptual timeline of major events and milestones occurred in the XXth century and until today.
Emphasis is placed into critical thinking based on the knowledge of historical facts in order to achieve a conceptual background that allows students to establish relationships between design chronology and society´s evolution.
The course is starting with a very brief introduction of design origins, and then going deeper into movements and cultural context that shaped design in the past century: the industrial revolution, the vanguards, the boom of mass media, the transgression of the form and the advent of the digital era. Finally, the course will close with a critical reflection of today´s design trends.
