The site ArchDaily (one of the leading architectural websites in the world) has released today the Firemen House, one of the last buildings completed by COLL-BARREU ARQUITECTOS.
Firemen House is a compact building that accommodates the central
Fire Department for a one-million-people urban area.
Like the old fire stations, the
building takes its public presence towards a new and large urban square. The interior, however, is directed towards the distant views of the Valley that, in fact, must be protected by it.
In these buildings, there is still
a reference to some industrial constructions, those building-machines or
process decanters that have transformed the history of the industrial cities and set off the
lives of its people.
La Casa de los Bomberos es un edificio compacto que acoge los servicios de Protección Civil de un
área metropolitana de un millón de habitantes.
Como los viejos edificios de bomberos, el edificio asume su
presencia pública hacia un área urbana nueva y extensa. El interior, sin embargo, se vuelca hacia las vistas lejanas del valle que, de hecho, está llamado a proteger.
Persiste en el edificio una referencia a
las construcciones industriales, aquellos edificios-máquina o decantadores de
procesos que transformaron la historia de las ciudades industriales y pautaron también la vida de sus gentes.
