Can Rubianes

The project is located in the town of El Prat de Llobregat, a town known for the Barcelona airport. Right in the center of an axis of equipment that runs through the municipality. Currently on the site are two volumes, the old theater, very deteriorated, and the bar, which is in good condition and is also a catalogued building.

The idea is to create a sequence of spaces formed by the stage, stalls, foyer and bar, which can be combined to be a single space.

Volumetrically the new body of the theater will align both the limits and the bays of the volume of the existing bar, this new volume will dialogue with the old one having a contemporary shape and a feeling of lightness, completely contrary to the existing volume.

The orientation of the main facade to the southwest will give the opportunity to create an exterior skin that works as a protective latticework of the sun and of the visuals, this skin will materialize in ceramics, a material of the area and with historical character.
