Project1990
Floor area3,300 m²
This was one of the first projects carried out by Martí-Miralles Architectes.
This tender for an office building for the Lleida Architectural Association was in a unique location in a group of new buildings in Canyeret.
The proposed circular building was born out of rational thinking. The cylinder form allowed us to dispense with references to the geometry of the plot and the slope of the land, which we standardised as a slope. Its height and size would integrate the building into the surroundings, whilst its shape and materials would contrast with the older constructions and establish a dialogue with the triangular entrance tower of the Seu Vella Cathedral.
