This complex includes “a shopping mall, aquarium, multi-screen cinema, and open public areas” (Sanchez 2002: 295). The shopping mall is typical in its promotion of consumption for leisure, but atypical in its purpose of connecting interior and exterior spaces. In the front and the back of the mall there are open public spaces for which the structure serves as a passageway. This is an atypical design because postmodern leisure often has a focus on “enclosed, safe environments which guarantee pleasure through continuous consumption and isolation from urban reality outside” (Sanchez 2002: 295). Looking at the exterior open spaces at the Maremagnum Complex, one can see that they serve a purpose slightly different from that of the mall, they do not promote “consumer practices but […] traditional ones such as strolling, chatting” and “playing” (Sanchez 2002: 295). The usage of a place can determine its social role. The typical visitor to the Maremagnum Complex is not a tourist but a student, or an employee of a nearby facility. Visitors determine the “social meaning” of the “urban space” by using it for “everyday activities” rather than functioning as a tourist attraction (Sanchez 2002: 296). The environment “shaped the practices” but these practices “changed the urban environment” (Hochadel and Nieto-Galan 2016: 7) Redevelopment for the 1992 games provided vibrant spaces, such as the Maremagnum Complex, but also caused changes in the urban layout and culture of Barcelona. The city became “catalanised, globalised, informationalised, gentrified, redesigned, and europeanised” (McNeill 2002: 245). On a more colloquial note some say even the “sounds and smells have changed” (McNeil 2002: 245). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
