In the 1960s and 1970s thousands of hippies journeyed east to India in search of enlightenment. Indian peasants assumed that a severe drought in the West was the reason for their migration.

UntitledThrough many voices, this project articulates the process of living in an area that until recently formed part of the periphery of the city of Barcelona. Torre Baró and Vallbona are two neighbourhoods that are expected to become a node of connection and expansion of metropolitan urban growth.
