The Renovation of the old Fire Station of Lleida street, in Barcelona as"Fireman Museum. Fire Prevention Center BCN" have been awarded with the Catalunya Construction Award 2017 on the category of intervention in existing buildings.

The jury, consisting of Josep Maria Forteza, Josep Camps, Eduard Gascón, Natàlia Crespo, Xavier Font, Celestí Ventura and Jordi Gonsalves declared:

"an astonishing project that appears simple only in appearance, working with respect towards the pre-existing, without renouncing to introduce such elements that transform the building making it a recipient of a new use and a new life. With this bold structural proposal, the result introduces steady shapes and no stridency, transferring all the focus to the content on display on the main central nave. The resolution of this project has become on itself a homage to the arduous, pioneer and in so many other occasions' heroic task, of the firefighters of Barcelona"

isolate new

Launched in 1987, this Prize is co-funded by the EU Culture Programme and the Fundació Mies van der Rohe. By highlighting excellent architectural works that have been constructed over the last two years, the Prize draws attention to the contribution of European professionals in the development of new ideas and technologies, as well as the cultural importance of architecture in the construction of our cities.

Candidates for the Prize are put forward by a broad group of independent experts from all over Europe; the associations that are members of the Architects’ Council of Europe (ACE), as well as other national architects associations; and the institutions that form part of the Advisory Committee for the Prize.

At each biennial edition, the jury selects two works: one that receives the Prize and the other the Emerging Architect Special Mention, both in recognition of their conceptual, technical and constructional qualities. The jury also selects a set of shortlisted works to be included in the catalogue publication and travelling exhibition.

1st place. Competition for the volumetric planning of the space delimited by the streets Castillejos, Gran Via, Cartagena and a new street

The Latin term In media res -in the middle of things- as our title, it refers to a literary technique in which the narrative begins in the middle of the story and not at the start of the events, jumping back and forward in the sequence.

As a narrative strategy, it is an opposite resource to the ab ovo, in which what is described follows the natural flow, from present to future. Both ways of understanding the passage of time in a story come from the Ars Poetica of Horacio.

But if we read it in Catalan, In media res it means: there is nothing in the middle, understood as an affirmation that declares an interest in knowing about the gap left among things, and, at the same time, in having an observation point of the objects from this space in between.

Our project proposes:
1. To manipulate history and to be flanked by the typological past of the Eixample of Barcelona (26,5 meters deep) and the city of isolated types (25 meters deep), linking these two ways of understanding the weave of the city. A trip back and forward.
2. But also to use a gap, the 20 meters of an Eixample street, to separate both temporal units. This gap extends into the plot the topographical level of Plaça de les Glòries (+15,50 meters) through the commercial floor of the façade.

We imagine that this gap, resolved in two levels, can become a unified lobby for all the apartments located from these heights up. This gap linking buildings recalls the position of the Principals of the Eixample but, this time, with a public and open character, as a balcony on the Plaça de les Glòries.

Let’s start from now to build Les Glories as a scenario of maximum permeability. It will be very important to insist that every available object is incorporated with dialog. We want to imagine that this conversation can start with the two parts of our proposal.

Our proposals for the organization of the environmental protection of the coast of the Barcelona Airport and a research on the Catalan territory participate in the exhibition Architecture without Place. 1968-2008 at the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica from June, 26th until September, 20th.

Architectures without Place is the result of the exploration of aspects of the recent creative heritage in architecture and urban planning which for various reasons have been ignored by official historiography.

The exhibition sets out to make visible all of this heritage from 1968 to the present, all the unrealized architecture that never existed or no longer exists, becomes valuable by spreading new light on this period in Catalan architecture. The show will include 180 of the 500 projects that have been selected from the 2000 and have been researched and documented by curators Antoni Pizza, Ramon Faura and Santi Ibarra since 2006.
