Tres Xemeneies, a defunct coal-fired power plant in Sant Adrià de Besòs, is set for a major redevelopment into Catalunya Media City, a new center for digital arts and education. The winning design, 'E la nave va', reflects a commitment to sustainability and community. The project, spearheaded by Garcés de Seta Bonet Arquitectes and Marvel, aims to maintain the site's industrial heritage while transforming its imposing brutalist structure for modern use. Construction is anticipated to start in late 2025 and conclude by 2028.
The project seeks to honor the industrial legacy of Tres Xemeneies while transforming it into a vibrant space for digital arts, technology, and education.
Guido Hartray emphasizes the challenge of preserving the dense structure and spatial qualities of Tres Xemeneies as they adapt it for contemporary use.
