A couple weeks ago Sean, Billy, and I went down to the waterfront and walked from around Port Olympic to the Forum area. Port Olympic is the former industial waterfront that was demolished and transfromed into 2 miles of beaches for the 1992 Olympics. What was formerly a ragged indusrial area became seaside hotels and restaurants. There are still some industrial buildings there, but now there are additional attractions.
Looking forward to the warm weather..Below: photos from the plaza near the Forum building. In the mid 90's the World Cultural Forum, a worlwide convention to discuss international relations, was held in Barcelona, and a very conceptual, eccentric building was built (I don't have pictures of this up yet...I will, though). Although the space pictured below was designed to bring people together for the conference and afterwards, I thought it was a rather uninviting and disfunctional; the lack of people inside it support my opinion...it was still really cool to walk through and photograph.
Sean and Billy playing. Aw.
Some of the new apartment buildings that line the costal area..
