Barcelona
After studying Various Graffiti works throughout the cities we have visited this semester. I studied how different graffiti effects public space. What I discovered is how it can actually change public space. Here we see 2 pictures in Barcelona on a street, during the day the shops are open and business is running, but when they close and the garage doors go down the environment of the street changes. Graffiti covers nearly almost every door and the street turns into art display of Graffiti. In the future we as architects could use areas of our buildings specifically for graffiti so we could promote it and reduce vandalism in undesirable places.

Morocco Fes

On our field trip to Fes we spent 6 days tour around the city. I looked for Graffiti and soon realized that instead of it ever being considered to be toloated it is considered a crime against their culture and heritage. The buildings are considered profane and the only act of displaying Graffiti is through the carving of coligraphy and inscribtion in Arabic in homes and in Mosques. Displayed here is the coligraphy craved into the walls of a Mosque.
