The project attempts to resolve a difficult balance: on the one hand, the obligatory conservation of an old building (Jaume I barracks) and, on the other, the change of use for the Pompeu Fabra University. History, rigour, forcefulness and austerity are attributes of the old building that must be confronted with the modern, innovative, intellectual and comfortable qualities of the new one.
