We want to thank all the people who have made this project possible.
Thank you once again for your constant and extensive generosity during the design and building process.



In a world immersed in processes of deindustrialization and digital transition, it will become fundamental to give a second use to obsolete industrial buildings. Reuse and circularity will be allies to reach new sustainable European goals.
We believe that the Fabra & Coats building will become the first project of a set of interventions at European level that combining social housing, industrial heritage and urban recycling will build a sustainable future for our planet.

Fabra & Coats is in the 40 shortlisted works that will compete in the 2022 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award.

The 7 members of the jury – Tatiana Bilbao, chairwoman, Francesca Ferguson, Mia Hägg, Triin Ojari, Georg Pendl, Spiros Pengas and Marcel Smets – have chosen 40 works which highlight the opportunities and the trends of today’s architecture in the European territory which focus on Social Inclusion, Sustainability and Circularity, and Aesthetic Research. This is the edition with the most nominated works: 532 works were nominated for the 2022 award.

The EU Mies Award is awarded biennially to works completed within the previous two years and exceptionally, this time, 2,5 years. The principal objectives are to achieve a thorough understanding of the transformation of the built environment; to recognize and commend excellence and innovation in the field of architecture; and to draw attention to the important contribution of architects in the development of new ideas with the undeniable support of clients and the involvement of those who will become the inhabitants and users of these places.
