The renovation ofthe Espai Firal de Montjuic for its centenary celebration, in a dense, central urbansetting, with exceptional pedestrian and public transport accessibility, willtransform Montjuïc into a new paradigm for a contemporary congress andexhibition venue, respectful of its history and sustainable. Palaus Urbans is aproposal that embraces the challenges posed by the competition rules as projectopportunities, designing a contemporary building in both typological andtechnological terms, connecting with the site through its character as anintermediate space, its materiality based on contextual deconstructionfragments, and the preservation of symbolic elements that treasure the historyof a fragment of the city.

The new PalauMultifuncional is configured as an object with two distinct natures: on the onehand, an abstract and radical element which contains the exhibition halls.Around this, a family of shaded, flexible spaces allows the scale to be adaptedto the neighborhood. Between them, certain elements anchor the project tothe site and the specific situations of its immediate surroundings.
