In the future, the square at the end of Carrer Beat Domènech Savio will be the most important urban space in the neighbourhood. The building we proposed is open to the square and its garden is a reception courtyard, which must be crossed to enter the building. The courtyard is envisaged to compliment and fuse with the public space.
The main elements are the versatile multi-use space and the space for the elderly, which have a unique shape that stands out from the rest of the rooms in the centre. These shapes are the image of the building seen from the square and reflect the important role in social relationships that a centre of this type should play.
The building entrance, via the courtyard, is designed to articulate the three main operational sections, being between them and the communal spaces. The administrative and management offices are linked to the foyer, either side of which is the multi-use space and the space for the elderly. The workshops are on the first floor.
