P67 | CIC Lonja de Pescadores’. Communal integration center in the Cabanyal fish market.
by Andrea Gimeno Sánchez
CIC Lonja de Pescadores’ is an exercise born within the respect to the local sociocultural heritage. It belongs to the citizen of any Cabanyal neighbor and to any patient that needs a treatment. The project lays out a big challenge, to push up the value of the mistreat heritage of the neighborhood accepting the game rules of the building and the pre-existences. The main principles that runs the idea and the development of the project in all scales comes as a consequence of three intentions. Those are the base of the concept. In the first place, the correct interpretation of the building’s architecture is possible with an exhaustive study and the understanding of the old ‘Lonja de Pescadores’. Then, the analysis of the proposed program. It is a hybrid between public and private spaces. It develops housing for sick people (as the most private space with necessities of flexibility), rehab center, day center, occupational center and social center; all of them with different degrees of privacy. The last intention is the researching of an attractive architectural space. The main volume is predetermined, apparently rigid and rhythmical. Doing these respectful actions is the way to preserve the originality of the building and the architectural experience.
