alcolea+tárrago's proposal to renovate the Nave de la Pulpa wins the first prize in the national competition for the performance in the La Azucarera park in the municipality of Monzón, in the province of Huesca, North Spain.

The existing project, which was previously the engine of the region's economy, will be transformed and will become a space for cultural activities, a space for interaction between generations, claiming its public presence as a space of urban centrality.
«Fragmentos de nostalgia M02025» was the name of the winning proposal for the renovation of the Pulp Warehouse by alcolea+tárrago, a design that will preserve and transform the old storage warehouse into a congress and exhibition centre and will include common spaces for co-working for local associations.

The proposal enhances the original morphology that will accommodate an open and multifunctional space. The project proposes a staggered and flexible strategy, in which different interventions can be undertaken alone, alternatively, or over time, without this meaning losing coherence as they are under a defined and clarifying plan that avoids overlaps and optimizes resources. and the results.
 

Description of project by alcolea+tárrago

The proposal "Fragments of nostalgia M02025" has won the first prize in the national competition under the slogan for the rehabilitation of the "Nave de la Pulpa" in the park "La Azucarera" in Monzón. The project will preserve and transform the former storage building into a congress and exhibition centre and will include common spaces for co-working and local associations. The warehouse will be returned to its original morphology to house an open, multifunctional space. What was once the engine of the region's economy will now become a space for cultural activities and interaction between generations, reclaiming its public presence and centrality in the city.

The project proposes a mixed strategy, in which different interventions can be undertaken alone, alternatively, or over time, but under a defined and clarifying plan that avoids overlapping and optimizes resources and results.

The proposal also transforms the adjacent area into a public park with community gardens or a market.

The set of interventions will be partially subsidized as part of the European strategic projects of the Spanish Urban Agenda.
