Cities don’t have to be faceless lines of gray boxes. City Embellishments Barcelona presents dozens of fresh ideas for bringing big cities back to a human scale. Small details like a carved facade, a tiny green space, benches, touches of bold color, a sheltering doorway, planters, and more. Each of these warm, distintive touches is expertly explained by the best authority available: the designing architects themselves.
