The interventions realized in the squares of Gràcia tackle the rehabilitation of some of the different public spaces that have historically configured the structure of the neighborhood. The urbanization of these areas is planned as an axial composition generated by their particular geometry. The resolution of the paving –of uninterrupted slabs–, the use of lines of trees for marking boundaries, and the design of the street furniture constitute a coherent and varied repertoire of resources governed by a wish to render modernity stylistically compatible with tradition, domestic space and colective space.
