"I suppose every big, popular, and growing city has its gentrification issues. In New York, it looks like Brooklyn is well on its way and Harlem is next on the “shopping block” for well-off and motivated investors and retirees. […] Here in Barcelona, the barrio known as Vallcarca, uphill from Plaza Lesseps, has been the epicenter of a similar fight."—Daniel Joder

Another view of the Papirøen housing complex and one of the historic buildings on the site that served as the inspiration for the forms of the modern buildings.

This is the Papirøen housing complex in Copenhagen. It sits on its own little island in the middle of the city, and there are about ten buildings of various sizes that all share this same architecture. Visually intriguing! I like how the form of the building mimics the peaked roofs of the historic buildings in the area yet the floors and windows extend up to the top of each peak. Clever.
