Taller d'Arquitectura - Xemeneia Fàbrica Sanson

The Taller d'Arquitectura comprises concrete silos and industrial structures, featuring vertical windows that cross through the original cement storage units.

The Sanson Cement Factory operated from 1921 until 1968, with its 92-meter chimney standing as the tallest industrial structure of its type in Europe.

Architect Ricard Bofill transformed the abandoned cement factory between 1973 and 1975 into an architectural studio, preserving industrial elements while creating modern spaces.

The complex now functions as an architectural workshop and creative space, offering insights into the adaptation of industrial structures for contemporary use.

The building combines raw concrete silos with carefully designed windows, surrounded by extensive vegetation that creates a contrast between industrial past and nature.
