Abstract

OAB’s intervention in the old bank headquarters located at the intersection of Avda Diagonal with Jardinets de Gràcia composes two different buildings with different composition and materials, separated by a new passage, which is not frequent in city centers and especially in a place with so much pressure. Probably the most unique part of the project is this new passage that focuses from the Jardinets de Gràcia to the Church of Our Lady of Pompeii. Cutting off the volume and introducing a public passage, in addition to creating new visuals, offers other advantages. It is a project where emptiness also counts. A solution that benefits buildings and at the same time the city.
