Casa Vicens: The First Letter of the Alphabet
- Cerdà's Eixample: An Urban Equity Laboratory: A 19th-century hygienist urban plan, imposed by Madrid in eighteen fifty-nine, partly realized and largely undone by speculation. Seven stops from the seam at Plaça Universitat to the superblock at Sant Pau, reading the chamfered grid as the built urban-planning argument it is.
- Modernisme: How Barcelona Wrote a New Architectural Language: Three architects. Seven buildings. Two kilometres on Passeig de Gràcia and into Gràcia. The alphabet of a Catalan national-cultural project written between eighteen eighty-three and nineteen twelve in carved stone, wrought iron, ceramic trencadís, mosaic, and stained glass.
