Library 'Water tank', Barcelona, Spain
The project, commisioned to architects Clotet and Paricio, uses prefabricated elements to locate rich and diverse spaces and reading areas along the 65meter-long vaulted structure. Originally built in 1874, the building is a roman-like construction with 12meter-high brickwork vaults.

Project start date 1992
Works beginning 1994
Works completion 1999
Measurements 5 floors high / 19.162 square meter
Since 1999, the University of Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona has had a new library, set up in a forgotten nineteenth-century water tank located in the heart of the city. The project, commisioned to architects Clotet and Paricio, uses prefabricated elements to locate rich and diverse spaces and reading areas along the 65meter-long vaulted structure. Originally built in 1874, the building is a roman-like construction with 12meter-high brickwork vaults.
The construction of Dipòsit de les Aigues dates back to 1874, built by Josep Fontserè , but it was not until 1880 when it was first used as a reservoir of water, with the purpose of regulating the flow of the waterfall in the park of Ciutadella as well as watering their gardens.
The then young student of architecture, Antoni Gaudí made the structural calculations of the whole of the reservoir and its support elements .
It was constructed following a classical Roman prototype, formed by 1-meter thick, 14-meters high brick walls, intersecting with vaults and extending 65 meters, as if it were the effect of a mirror, supporting the large tank on top.
After one hundred years of different uses -old people’s home, storage for the fire brigade, car park for the local police department, archive for the Court of Justice- it became property of the Pompeu Fabra University in 1992.The rehabilitation of the Water Tank started in 1993 by architects Lluís Clotet and Ignacio Paricio.
The deposit is joined by an underground passage to the Jaume I building, but it did not start to work as a General University Library until 1999. The interior space is overwhelming. It is a quiet place, allowing to isolate oneself from the outside in a magical atmosphere.
Clotet and Paricio’s respectful intervention using prefabricated elements for the intermediate floors allows for dismantling of the whole intervention if needed.
These new levels favour the creation of very distinctive and diverse reading areas -ranging from spaces barely over 2 meters high to others over 12 meters high, under the vaults- allowing each person to choose their own space according to their needs.
In 2009 the Les Aigues Library was awarded the “Decade Award” by Fundación Oscar Tusquets, which rewards the best work of architecture built in Barcelona 10 years after its completion.

The great arch created is closed by a sliding double door, each 9.20m high and 1.80 wide, located on the inner side of the wall. The door is made of perforated sheet steel 2mm V folded without inner grid and hanging on a top rail that helps the consolidation of the existing arc. The result is a light and continuous veil through which images and sounds are filtered water allowing urban continuity between the source and the street outside, day and night at times which is closed to control. The source reproduces the plant and about the idea of container of water, but this time by identifying content and container. It is built by glass walls Azurre 19mm stacked and secured through transparent resin materials. The container fits almost entirely the cistern which became in the middle Ages and the flow of water overflowing overflow refers to the original still preserved.
Since the input image is reduced to a horizontal plane of glass and water whose boundaries are lost where the perception of the mud walls and stone retaining walls begins? Its height allows the perception from outside flooded space. Between the water level and the perimeter walls, the floor becomes first glass staircase steps and then, slowly leading us to the opposite end. There, once below the water surface (reference of the original level), we discover a space near a well. A large air bubble used as an interpretive space, where the three main distributing pouring water appear. Here at the end of this brief and intense journey begins Raudal history of Magdalena.
Assessment
After many alterations and modifications of operation in the last ten centuries, we inherit a palimpsest of difficult reading that had lost its physical relationship with citizens, the civil service, to its permanent closure. This places the proposed architecture in a field of interesting discussion: the need to extend the concept of public space. For this it is necessary to review the conceptual boundaries between contemporary public space, water infrastructure, public fountain and cultural facilities.
Similarly, it was necessary to rethink the concept of recovery and ask how to integrate the latter layer from contemporaneity, the need to recover the essential value of putting in place the remains found value. The project interprets each other offering the same validity to all strata found, validity is based on the capacity of each piece to explain the events that have built up over the centuries. In this regard, the bill provides an overall assessment of history as a single process.
In this sense, the materiality of water has given us its associated both symbolic and conceptual value protagonist of urban development. Stone, responsible for centuries to contain the land and preserve the space that water needs to be offered, lent us their constructive system. Glass has finally given us the ability to receive both loans and provide experience which means soaking in the history of this place.

The large semi-circular arch created is closed by a sliding door with two leaves, each 9.20m high and 1.80 wide, located on the inside of the wall. The door is made of 2mm perforated V-shaped sheet steel without internal profiling and hung from a top profile that helps consolidate the existing arch. The result is a light and continuous veil through which images and sounds of the water are filtered, allowing urban continuity between the fountain and the outer street, both day and night when it is closed for control. The fountain reproduces the plant and approaches the idea of a water container, but this time identifying content and container. It is built by 19mm azure glass walls stacked and fixed using transparent resin materials.
From the entrance, the image is reduced to a horizontal plane of glass and water, the limits of which are lost where the perception of the mud walls and stone retaining walls begins. Its height allows a flooded space to be perceived from the outside. Between the sheet of water and the perimeter walls, the glass floor becomes first a staircase and then a staircase, slowly leading us to the opposite end. There, once below the sheet of water (reference to the original level), we discover a space next to a cistern. A large air bubble used as an interpretive space, where the three main flows that distribute the water appear. Here at the end of this short and intense tour begins the history of the Raudal de la Magdalena.
Assessment
After so many operational alterations and modifications made in the last ten centuries, we inherited a palimpsest of difficult reading that had lost its physical relationship with the citizen, its public function, until its permanent closure. This fact places the architecture project in an interesting field of discussion: the need to expand the concept of public space. For this it is necessary to review the conceptual limits between contemporary public space, hydraulic infrastructure, public source and cultural equipment.
Likewise, it has been necessary to rethink the concept of recovery itself and ask ourselves how to integrate this last stratum from the present time, the need to recover the essential value of the place, putting in value the found remains. The project interprets each rest offering the same validity to all the strata found, validity that is based on the ability of each piece to explain the events that have built it over the centuries. In this sense, the project establishes a unitary assessment of history as a unique process.
In this sense, the materiality of water has lent us its associated value, both symbolic and conceptual, protagonist of urban development. The stone, commissioned for centuries to contain the land and preserve the space that water needs to be offered, has lent us its construction system. Glass, finally, has given us its ability to receive both loans and offer the experience that means immersing yourself in the history of this place.

RENOVATION OF NOTRE DAME SQUARE/ LETELLIER ARCHITECTES
Villefranche-de-Rougergue, France
• Architects: LETELLIER ARCHITECTES
• Area: 1 500 m² SP
• Type: square renovation
Client: CONSEIL GÉNÉRAL DE L’AVEYRON
Cost: 924 000 € HT
Fontainiste : FC URBAN DESIGNER
Paysagiste : FRANÇOISE PERSOUYRE
Ratio : 1 562 €/m2
•
--Classified as a historical monument as a whole and surrounded by arcades surmounted by flamboyant Gothic or Renaissance style residences, it has hosted every Thursday morning for almost 8 centuries one of the most picturesque markets in the Southwest.
Activities of the central fountain: its water jets tell the time; and unique in France, they dance to the rhythm of the 48 carillon bells, one of the most remarkable in the region.--
From April 2 to November 31, 2013, Eurovia Rodez carried out the renovation of Place Notre-Dame in Villefranche-de-Rouergue (12), a site classified "Bâtiment de France".
This site presented technical and town planning constraints that the agency was able to face.
The particularities of this project:
• Earthworks of the existing
• Layout of the square in paving stones according to the techniques used in the Middle Ages
• Pavement structure in gravel cement
• Stormwater systems and slotted gutters in Corten steel
• Laying of 10x25x20 limestone paving stones; recovery from old streets of the city according to cal-pinage architect
• Maximum required joint 1 cm treated by mineralization (55,000 pavers cleaned and re-calibrated before laying)
• Installation of visible bronze joint following a particular pattern
• Installation of Roman bronze numeral for luminous clock
• Jet fountain (except lot)
Were also carried out in the same spirit of limestone paving, 3 lanes located under the peripheral arcades in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Thus, the whole of the place and the arcades are renovated in paving. The collegiate church is then highlighted.
