Fin de Escuela y Girona

Blogger always posts photos in the wrong order (backwards)... normally I move them around manually but I'm too lazy to do that today :p. So imagine the following photos in the reverse order. Or you could scroll down and work your way back up!

Natasha and I went on a daytrip to Girona and met up with a friend of mine from Elisava, Paula (center). Paula will be an exchange student at RISD next wintersession/spring. She is super talented.. get ready to meet her! :).

Pretty street in Girona that would be "straight" for Megan hehee...

Buildings along the river where the poorer people used to live. Now it's worth a lot of money and only really wealthy people live there. That's what Paula told me anyway...:p

This reminds me of NYC...

Behind the cathedral of Girona

Standing at the base of the cathedral, looking up

Not sure what this was... something about architectural awards.

There are 90 steps exactly (we counted)!

Girona's cathedral is massive. It has the widest gothic nave in the world.

Natasha and I on the roof of the Arab Baths in Girona

The first room you see as you enter the "Arab Baths", the remains of an ancient bath house. This was the "cold room". From here you walk through a series of other rooms: warm, hot, and furnace. HAHA. Can't imagine what happens to people in the furnace room.

Back to Barcelona... Here's Natasha inside her installation!

This was Natasha's final project for AP class (AP = Professional Areas). She is in interior architecture and this is an installation outside of the MACBA, which is the main contemporary art museum here. The class was split into groups and given a body of text and this white sheet material. They were asked to design a space that related to the theme of "collapse", in order to accompany a current exhibition event at the MACBA...

My last class at Elisava! Not everyone had arrived yet but we were about to give our final presentations for Exhibit Design. Looks really different compared to RISD eh?
