Salvador Rueda had a lecture about the structure of the city plan of Barcelona and the reasons for the urban design decisions that were made for the construction of the city. Based on Barcelona traditional city blocks he proposed the so called ¨super block¨, a network of city blocks designed to optimize both vehicular and pedestrian flows while liberating large amounts of public spaces. The lecture was part of the introductory studio facilitating the students with information about new strategies for re-designing a contemporary city.
