Las Arenas Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

YEAR
2011
Photography by Josep M Molinos David Cardelús

Barcelona has always been characterized by a special sensitivity and respect towards its past (cultural, historical, architectural…), as well as a constant investment in the future and vanguard projects. Las Arenas Bullring is a clear example of this situation, uniting architectural historical reverence with
technological innovation.
In spite of the fact that the former bullring, in disuse since 1989 and with a neo-mudéjar style, didn’t actually have high architectural value, it was clear that, being poised in such an impressive location for more than a century, this site was really in the minds of every citizen, and its symbolic value lead to a
suitable preservation. That’s why the architectural answer, already from the
first outlines, was orientated towards its maintenance as a second skin of the
new building. Nevertheless, such preservation met great technical complexity:
first, an evident physical deterioration; second, a strange height, four meters
above the nearby streets. The technical effort was worth it, in the end to present a strong, atypical cylindrical form.
