Barcelona + Vancouver Exhibition

The Nashville Civic Design Center is holding an exhibition of selected photos of Barcelona and Vancouver from sitephocus' image library. The show began December 1st and will continue until the end of January. The Design Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 am 5:00pm. The exhibit includes fifteen photographs of each city. They were chosen for their distinctly different approaches to urban design. The selected photos capture Vancouver's use of tall slender residential towers on residential podiums often referred to as "The Vancouver Model" and Barcelona's defining l'Eixample repeating grid of mixed use mid-rise blocks. I have put together a companion photo book with over 50 photographs. I will be receiving a proof copy of it in the next week. If everything goes right, it should be available around the first of the year.
