Details
The new cultural centre is located in a historic setting that is part of the Flix agricultural cooperative complex. The new space contributes to the recovery and enhancement of the building’s historical and social features and elements. The basic interventions to enable the new centre’s use are: foundation and ground stability, structural consolidation, and comfort of the interior spaces.
The Jury‘s Statement
The representation of culture also includes the preservation of agricultural traditions. The municipality of Flix, located in the Spanish region of Catalonia, commissioned the conversion of a building complex that had previously been part of a local agricultural cooperative into a cultural centre for precisely this purpose. The project was realised by Camps Felip Arquitecturia from Girona. Within a newly defined spatial structure, the architectural team has succeeded in preserving historical references while at the same time designing the building for a diverse range of contemporary uses. The use of the simplest materials throughout creates a wonderful overall atmosphere, and the interplay of new and old elements appears sophisticated and contemporary.
