Day 030 | Ensanche + Exiample

The field trip to Andalucia has really allowed me to understand the scales of many different cities in the short time period of one week. Starting in Madrid was nice because coming directly from Barcelona, it allowed us to see the difference and similarities between the two cities. The Salamanca district designed by Castro gave the same feeling as the Cerda blocks. I liked the Salamanca blocks a little more becuase even though Cerda chamfered the corners of every block to open up the space, Castro added a little bit of green to the intersections.
