Barcelona / Spain / 1999
Under the direction of the architect Lluís Clotet Ballús, the
old building Diposit de les Aigues, built in 1874, was reconstructed and
became the university library Biblioteca General de la Universidad. The structural
design of the original structure was done by a young student architect, Antoni Gaudi.
In 2009, the renovation project was awarded the Decade Award,
which the Oscar Tusquet Foundation awards the best architectural
work, realized in Barcelona, after 10 years of execution.
