Three hundred and fifty students were involved in the creation of a 5m by 2.5m model. Each student built a virtual 3D model of a portion of the neighborhood, following a simple but very structured system, that you can learn here on 3D Jony.

The construction of such a large model with traditional tools would have been a painstakingly long and expensive ordeal, and the result wouldn’t have justified the number of hours necessary for completing it. With such a great planning and design tool, the students then went on to design architecture projects in the empty plots of El Poblenou.
