Three major architectural projects will transform Montjuïc venue.

The future Montjuïc venue is beginning to take shape with the proposals from the winning teams of the architectural competition. Three unique monumental palaces—sustainable, avant-garde, and blending modernity with historical surroundings—will define the first phase of the renovation of this iconic city landmark. The goal is to transform it into a cutting-edge urban exhibition center for the 21st century.

This was one of the key topics discussed at this morning’s meeting of the Centenary Commission, made up of Barcelona City Council, the Government of Catalonia and Fira de Barcelona, which continues to make progress in the design of the axes of the programme of commemorative activities and the configuration of the management bodies that will carry it out.

We find reading and lounging areas as well as exhibition spaces and the library’s own storage area. Within this constellation of elements, some directly offer virtual content, such as computer tables or projection screens. Continue reading Borque . Mariné
