Giuseppina Giuliano o Josefina Julià: el cas de l’habitatge que tothom prometia i ningú feia

Ara fa vint anys, VINT, que al solar que l’Institut Català del Sòl té a l’antiga fàbrica de l’Estrella de Badalona hi vàrem prometre la construcció de 375 habitatges de protecció oficial. Fa 8 anys, VUIT, que es redacta el planejament de les Tres Xemeneies, que en preveu al voltant d’uns 400 d’aquesta tipologia. I

Eight billion

In 1987, the Generalitat launched the campaign We are 6 million, which in one of the advertisements said “… and to govern ourselves and help us progress we all have the Generalitat”. No one will campaign We are eight billion. Who should do it? The UN, what is it that tells us? On November 15,

From 22@ to the Three Chimneys hub: a story of audacity and trust

“Bajo las once plantas del que fuera el edificio industrial más alto de Europa a principios del siglo XX, cerca de un millar de estudiantes diseñan el futuro de Siemensstadt, uno de los once barrios industriales que mutaran en distritos digitales para revolucionar la geografía de Berlín.

The generational change (with Dual FP)

Currently, they create 67% of private employment, with a total of more than 6.58 million jobs, being responsible for 57.1% of the national GDP of the

Homo Culinaris

There are two types of people in the world: those who cook and those who don’t. Which one are you from? Among those who cook there are very militant, those who have learned and usually have a good handful of recipes that they dominate and enjoy inviting friends to the table. In the group of
