Rabat. Royal Patronage for urban art
Journal of a gadabout (6) by Dr. A. Remesar
I recommend a visit to Rabat. Ahead of they conclude the works of what we call “the third Rabat”.
The first is the victorious Ribat (Ribat al-Fath), as stated in the monolith of entry into the old limits. It includes the medina and the city center designed by Prost following the recommendations of Forestier, both two under the orders of Marshal Lyautey.
A center expanded in several districts of French flavour: Ocean – site of the corniche suffering remodelling and pressure of the projects Kasr al Bahr and Sephira; Les Orangers, Aviation, Belvedaire… and the most bourgeois of all Agdal Hay Riad. Continue reading Rabat. Royal Patronage for urban art

Journal of a gadabout (3). by Dr. A. Remesar
Coming from Barcelona, a city whose urban fabric is based largely on an urban plot that leaves no separation between buildings, ie a city built “between party walls” is a surprise to find so many party walls in Lodz.
The party walls represent a devaluation of the urban landscape and go against urban decorum. It’s no wonder that municipalities suffering from the “disease of party walls” implement strategies that, without solving the problem in a structural way, will alleviate it, at least aesthetically, contributing to urban decorum.
Barcelona in cans
Journal of a gadabout (1). by. Dr. A. Remesar
I was preparing my lecture on “New Urban Decorum” the which I had to deliver in Lodz, at the 1st International Symposium “Aesthetic Energy of the City” in September 2014. Was when I discovered the work of a street artist, unknown to me at the moment, and that later I would know is called “Latas (Cans)“. Obvious cans are the basis of his – I don’t know if to say her, but I will continue to say his – work .
I came to being focused on the work by Clet Abraham in Barcelona, and the discovery was most enjoyable.
