The Barcelona Institute of Architecture just got back to me about my request for a tour of their school and some faculty interviews, and they seemed interested in making a connection between BIA and UMD.  How exciting!  If nothing else it will be nice to meet fellow colleagues of the city I'm studying-- I'm sure they'll have more insight into Barcelona architecture than I might ever glean from reading books.  It will be interesting to see how Spain's pedagogy compares to the US, as well as getting to know the sort of academic environment that comes about when designers don't have quite as much fear of litigious reprisal and can therefore take bigger risks.
