Bonaplata Textile Mill
autoria desconeguda
Josep Bonaplata and Silvestre Puig founded the company "Bonaplata i Cia" in 1829, specialising in the manufacture of yarns, fabrics and colour prints. In 1831 it was renamed "Bonaplata, Vilaregut, Rull i Cia."; originally located in a pre-existing building on 52 Tallers Street (owned by Francesc Guiu). Later, land was bought and sold by Francesc Guiu, Ramon Prats i Pi and an old industrial factory occupied by the Col·legi de Sant Vicenç Ferrer. At that time, renovation and extension works were carried out under the direction of the master builder: Domènec Vidal. As a result of the first workers' riots, the factory under study was set on fire and destroyed.1832

Santa Caterina Market
Josep Buxareu i Gallart, Josep Mas i Vila
The Santa Caterina market’s site is the result of the superimposition of numerous historical strata dating from the Bronze Age, with a necropolis of which there are still some remains. The first market was built in the 19th century on the ruins of a monastic structure, and the last intervention aims to mend the structural and organisational deficits of the old market. The project is based on the overlap between the old and the new, from a conception of action that seeks to establish a continuity with this series of historical overlaps. The number of stops is reduced and power lines are created inside, creating new connections between the surrounding streets. The new roof overlaps the old perimeter factory and recovers its image from neighbouring houses, while being based on a structural principle of stable fragility. -
