Edificio Media-TIC, Technology center in Poblenou district, Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Edificio Media-TIC is a contemporary office building with a distinctive cubic shape that stands apart from its surroundings. Its four facades are covered with white ETFE polymer cushions that regulate daylight and give the structure its striking appearance.
History
The building was commissioned in 2007 and completed in 2010 under architect Enrique Ruiz Geli's direction. Its construction marked a shift as the Poblenou district transformed from an industrial area into a hub for technological innovation.
Culture
The building hosts Barcelona Activa, a space where the city brings together people interested in technology and creative projects. It functions as a meeting point for those exploring new ideas in digital fields.
Practical
The site is located in a walkable area marked by a mix of former industrial buildings and newer constructions. Visiting on weekdays is best if you want to see the interior spaces active and observe the work happening inside.
Did you know?
The building absorbs sunlight during the day and releases it at night, creating a soft glow that resembles a living organism. This quality emerges from the thoughtful interaction between the plastic cushions and the metallic frame working together.
