The Media-ICT Building in Barcelona, Spain

July 08, 2011 Category: Cultural, Public Buildings

Designed by Cloud 9, The Media-ICT Building is located in Barcelona, Spain. The building is divided so that the upper floors (from eighth to fourth) are rented for big companies, the second and third floor have small spaces for emergent companies and the first floor,a civic area, with the cibernariun and an auditorium. A space that offers a course programs open to all the city residents.

The ground floor does not have pillars; the public space takes up the building with 36m x 40m of free space. The lobby area is also open to the public which hosts exhibitions, workshops and events.

The construction is built from the top and moves downwards, becoming transparent, anti-gravitational, and almost liquid at the bottom. Thus, its impact on the street is minimal, about 8% mass with respect to the 1500 m2 floor surface area.
