I'm an architecture graduate student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. At the moment, I'm doing my thesis and I'm focusing on the Eixample neighbourhood of Barcelona. I returned four months ago from doing an internship with EMBT in Barcelona and when I got home, realized I wanted to focus my thesis on the interior courtyards of Eixample. The blocks or "manzanas,"/"interways," however you call them are prolific and highly varied in their appearence but standard in their form.
I'm having trouble finding resources on them, specifically drawings or models showing the apartment lay-outs, program, elevations, sections etc. I was wondering if anyone, especially any students from a Catalan architecture school would have some of these resources readily available for me to learn from?
Regards,
Peter Fortune

Barcelona Eixample Resources Request
Hello all,
I'm an architecture graduate student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. At the moment, I'm doing my thesis and I'm focusing on the Eixample neighbourhood of Barcelona. I returned four months ago from doing an internship with EMBT in Barcelona and when I got home, realized I wanted to focus my thesis on the interior courtyards of Eixample. The blocks or "manzanas,"/"interways," however you call them are prolific and highly varied in their appearence but standard in their form.
I'm having trouble finding resources on them, specifically drawings or models showing the apartment lay-outs, program, elevations, sections etc. I was wondering if anyone, especially any students from a Catalan architecture school would have some of these resources readily available for me to learn from?
