Rehabilitation of the Casal Balaguer palace (Palma; phases 14th–18th centuries) as a cultural center, by Flores & Prats (Barcelona) with Duch-Pizá (Palma), after about 20 years of process. Criterion: preserve the traces of each era and graft the new. Venice 2014 and 2016, Mies nominee 2015, Ciutat de Palma Prize 2018.
Non-Majorcan study: it comes as an example of how to intervene on what is inherited (urban heritage), not indigenous design in the strict sense.
For the project
- Method reference ("rehabilitate without deleting"). Casal Balaguer (Palma City Council) as a possible venue for an exhibition or workshops; Duch-Pizá as local contact.
