Architecture studio JAAS presents Sallarès Deu, the transformation of a former textile factory, originally designed in 1920 by architect Lluís Muncunill, into a new civic campus in the heart of Sabadell, near Barcelona 🏭
Commissioned by the Sabadell City Council, Sallarès Deu — a paradigmatic example of the textile infrastructures that shaped the urban identity of Sabadell throughout the 19th and 20th centuries — is reactivated as an open and adaptable environment oriented towards collective use.
The project preserves the syntax of the industrial block, defined by large parallel sheds and interstitial courtyards, while introducing new educational, social and cultural programmes.
One of the central components of the new programme is a culinary school housed within one of the existing industrial buildings.
