arcelona, a city like no other, long ago achieved the status of role model in the world of urban innovation. Home of the Barcelona Center for Contemporary Culture, a combination of internationally renowned urban think tank, public performance space, and the force behind the city's physical renewal, Barcelona balances urban progressiveness and an almost
unparalleled sense of history, culture, and the arts. The early 20th century marked
the most rapid phase of physical growth
in Barcelona's history. The result was a
veritable festival of aesthetic activity and the creation of a new school of art that grafted motifs of the region's Mediterranean and Romanesque past onto forward-
looking projects of industrial modernity. This unique synthesis of artistic and urban renaissance makes Barcelona ripe with opportunity for student exploration of
the arts, modern languages, and urban
cultural issues.
