Dissenyem comerç
"DISSENYEM COMERÇ"
An opportunity to revitalise local trade with the contributions of young talent in the creative industries.
WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
Design, visual arts, architecture and audiovisuals are areas that have great transformative power. Students from these disciplines will work together with the city’s commercial network to draw up proposals for reactivating and boosting neighbourhood commerce. A cross-cutting and innovative vision to tackle the challenges of the current times.
The first work team is made up of the Elisava school and the Sants-Les Corts shopping district. The second brought together students from Acid House with the Poblenou shopping district. In the third, the LCI centre has worked with the Torrijos-Botigues Abaceria hub, in Gràcia. The UPC’s MBDesign has worked with the Network of Diverse Retailers, Eina with the Sarrià Hub, Idem with the Rambleta in Nou Barris and Elisava with Sagrera Activa, a traders’ association.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Around eighty projects have been proposed under the Dissenyem comerç [We design trade] initiative. Work on eleven of these – one for each shopping district – will start during 2023 following a selection process coordinated by the Barcelona Design Centre. The selected projects showcase the diversity and richness of the ideas provided, as well as the creative potential of young talent in the city.
“Dissenyem comerç” is a project promoted by the Councillor’s Office for Tourism and Creative Industries together with the Councillor’s Office for Commerce, Markets, Internal Regulations and Tax and promoted by the Barcelona Design Hub and Barcelona Activa.
