Drevni katalonska crkva koja čuva ruševine

Arhitekte koje su angažovane za restauraciju stare ili oštećene zgrade obično se odluče da zgradi vrate bivšu slavu. Ali David Closes odlučio se za drugačiji put kada je bio angažovan za pretvaranje klasične Sant Francesc crkvene zgrade u kulturni centar.Umesto dovođenja zgrade natrag svoje bivše stanje ili čak jednostavnog obnavljanja školjke i dajući mu moderan enterijer, Closes je učinio nešto zaista izvanredno. On je umetnuo novu zgradu dole unutar i izvan srušene crkve. On je koristio srušene delove krovakao svetlarnike i zadržao neke zgrade u originalnim zidovima kao lepe komponente zgrade koja obuhvata i prošlost i sadašnjost.Architects who are asked to restore old or damaged buildings typically decide to bring those buildings back to their former glory. But David Closes decided to take a different path when he was charged with converting the classic Sant Francesc church building into a cultural center.Rather than bringing the building back to its former state or even simply restoring the shell and giving it a modern interior, Closes did something truly extraordinary. He plunked a new building down inside and outside of the church’s ruined shell. He used collapsed roof sections as skylights and kept some of the building’s original walls as beautiful components of a building that embraces both the past and the present.
