Poble Nou
Back in the day, Poblenou was known as the “Catalonian Manchester” for being the centre of Catalan and Iberian industry. After the 1992 Olympics, the city decided to implement the 22@ district plan. The project basically meant to renew the area, which had been left pretty abandoned, in to a central business district. Nowadays, that old cluster of factories and working class residences has evolved in to the city’s tech and innovation district. Artists, creatives and young professionals from around the world have converted the former factories and warehouses into unique lofts, galleries, shops and co-working spaces.

Can Framis is the latest project of the prestigious Fundació Vila Casas, founded by Antoni Vila Casas, owner of one of the largest private art collections in Catalonia. This space is dedicated to promoting the work of some of the most famous contemporary Catalan artists. The project had the objective of rehabilitating old factory buildings and creating a space of contrasts: here you will find lime mortar that blends with the existing stonework and merges with the exposed concrete of the new buildings. The combination of elements creates an open, aery space of architectural and cultural interest. They also offer an educational program to bring children of all ages closer to contemporary art.
