The new BSC is a project that is generated from a symbiosis between an existing building (parking of Can Girona) and a new emerging volume forming a perfect twinning.

A building that breathes... that oxygenates the resulting urban space... that interacts with public space... that participates with the place.
A deeply-rooted, close to the landscape element... which responds to a green, tranquil, pausing environment.

A building that orders... that acts as the vertebrae... which anchors all the nearby buildings creating a pleasant and harmonious environment.

A building that enhances the whole architecture without giving up the existing landscape.
A project that has a logical functionality... that is understandable...
