MUSEUM-CAN FRAMIS
Mutations of Poblenou, a documentary about the transformation of the neighbourhood.
Website of BAAS architecture studio which contains an explanation of the project, available in catalan, spanish, french and english. A video of the Can Framis museum is also available on the site.
The architects Jordi Badia and Jordi Framis wished to play on contrasts with design of the museum. The design of the surrounding garden provides a tranquil oasis in the middle of the hubbub of the city of Barcelona. The mainly paved garden has many trees and winding paths. This new intervention along with the the cloak of ivy which already covers the environs, will in the future enshroud the building and trees.
Visitors to the museum begin on the highest level and continuously move downwards through semi-lit areas, which will then light up to showpiece the exhibited pieces.
