An adaptive reuse project of the historic Cooperativa El Segle XX in Barceloneta as a future civic cooperative responding to overtourism, cultural displacement and the gradual erosion of local identity. Rather than framing tourism solely as a threat, the project explores how space negotiates between cultural preservation and contemporary tourism.

Organised through the Pagan Wheel of the Year, the building responds to cycles of occupation and environmental change to reactivate local Catalan traditions through spaces of assembly, ritual and exchange. Existing masonry structures are retained and extended through a lightweight timber intervention, while a porous ceramic façade systems responds to Barcelona’s Mediterranean climate conditions.
