Reform of the El Tabaris Building

Coma-ruga. El Vendrell. Tarragona
Architecture: Elena Nedelcu
Area: 1490 M²
Promoter: Ajuntament de El Vendrell

Proposal for a contest that proposes to convert into a Museum of the Sea an old indoor Municipal pool with an interesting structure and some murals by the artist Santiago Padrós. A condition of the competition was the conservation and rehabilitation of the building to keep it in its current state. Our proposal even preserves the glass of the old pool and turns it into a small amphitheater to watch films and videos of the future museum. Surprisingly, and despite the apparent good condition of the structure as can be seen in the infographic, the winning architect decides to demolish the building thus losing, once again, a characteristic building of the place without an apparent reason.
