Art.Ba - Barcelona's Art Residency 

Nova Bocana, Port Vell, Barcelona

Art.Ba is an art residency, a knowledge-sharing platform that bridges visual and fine art creators with the local market, upgrading the already distorted identity of Barcelonetta through art and cultural events. A group of art experts, researchers, and curators comprise Art.Ba's creative team. Working along with the residents, the team assists and supervises their work during all the phases of the design process, cultivating them a collective mindset within the residency. The members could either team up or work individually taking part in workshops and exhibitions developing their aptitudes and gradually building a solid network with local pioneers. Art.Ba's mission is inclined to sustainability as well as to the circular economy, encouraging the artists to utilize and convert the adjacent shipyard's waste into art.

DESIGN APPROACH

Since the project's onset, our intention was to maintain and refine the existing architectural attributes, showcasing at the same time the historical significance of the former shipyard. Getting inspired by the workflow of the yachts' maintenance across the years, we ended up that scaffold is the one and only flexible hardware that could be reused delineating our interior layout, creating different levels, and generating smaller-scaled design solutions.
