Barcelona 1492
| BARCELONA 1492. Genealogy Centre and theatre. The year 1492 is a pivotal moment in history, the discovery of the New World, and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain left a distinct mark on the ancestry of many people around the world. Situated on Montjuic, Barcelona, the programme includes a genealogy centre with scientific labs, an archive of historical documents, and a theatre. The language of the architecture aims to set a parallel between the factual nature of genealogy research, and the fictional nature of historical speculation and storytelling. Light is used as a marker of time and a revealer of space and stories. |
