Metropolis is a research-based postgraduate program offered at the CCCB/ Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. Architects, artists, designers, and critics are invited to look into the present-day condition of cities, to stimulate and guide research and design work. Founded almost twenty years ago by Ignasi de Solà-Morales, Metropolis is one of the first and oldest international multidisciplinary postgraduate programs focused on spatial practices offered in Barcelona. Architects, urbanists, geographers, artists, designers, and critics are invited to look into the present-day condition of cities, to open up a debate and a productive structure for graduate students.
