Les Tres Xemeneies
<p>Our names are Cleo Stynen and Tatjana von Kirschbaum. We are third year space design students currently studying in Elisava. We were given the task to design freely in the three chimneys, an old thermal power station just outside of Barcelona. This task is a rather broad one seen as we are able to make of it what we want; it could have a function, it could be more on the artistic side, it could be luxury apartments or a community center. To tackle this design question we will do some research about the chimneys and the area.</p>
<p>The three chimneys are located in Sant Andria de Besos. It was built in the 1970’s as a part of a thermal power station. The construction caused a great deal of controversy leading to protests by the workers in the area. In 2011 the plant was shut down and the plan to tear the building down was reversed as the locals had developed an interest in them. In 2015 the buildings were given to the local government. They have been empty for 11 years now.</p>
