Following an international competition, the design for the new Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology by Barozzi Veiga was selected as the winning proposal by an expert jury.
Flanking the Ciutadella Park, the new building will be located in the area of the Antic Mercat del Peix, which will be converted into an innovative hub dedicated to research and investigation. The new BIST building is the first piece of the ambitious Ciudadella del Coneixement initiative, developed by the Barcelona City Council and the UPF to convert this area into a southern Europe reference centre of urban knowledge in biomedicine, biodiversity, and planetary wellbeing.
Moreover, this project represents the first work by Barozzi Veiga to be built in the city of Barcelona.
