Can Casacuberta, Modernist industrial building and central library in Badalona, Spain
Can Casacuberta features cast iron pillars supporting asymmetrical trusses, with a saw-toothed roof design providing natural light throughout the 4,800-square-meter space.
The industrial complex, established in 1907, transformed from a textile factory owned by Josep Giró to a central urban library inaugurated in 1992.
The building houses Espai Betúlia, a center dedicated to literature promotion, along with special collections about magic, anarchism, and historical Catalan books.
The facility operates as the main library for Badalona, offering services to multiple neighborhoods including Dalt de la Vila, Can Claris, Progrés, Raval, and Coll i Pujol.
The structure combines traditional Catalan vaulting techniques with modern architectural elements, creating an innovative design that earned the FAD architecture prize in 1991.
