here are some photos from the recent summer residency at hangar in barcelona, from the radically transforming neighborhood of poble nou. If you believe the hype, then the unabashed destruction of all local environments is making way for a new kind of architectural “progress.” The main square next to hangar is being called, in english, “Central Park”. Hmm…
The main act of industrial preservation are the lonely chimneys left at each site…a reminder of industry and the working class who are being driven out.
