Recovery and transformation of an old industrial building dating from 1920 into a museum, highlighting its special configuration in three naves and its interior textures, adding new layers that adapt it to the new use. The Oliva Artés industrial building was to be demolished in 2008 in the context of the new construction of the Poble Nou Central Park, which planned to cut the continuity of the historic Pere IV street to which the building is intimately linked.

A neighbourhood association dedicated to the industrial heritage of Poble Nou convinced the City Council of the need to conserve the building, which at the time was in a state of structural ruin, a few days before the bulldozers entered.

The original project was the result of a competition held in 2009 and aimed to preserve the building's unique character, especially the richness of its interior space, as the exterior had always been enveloped by outbuildings.

The project is based on the addition of the minimum parts necessary for its operation, built in a single golden material that adds a new layer to the whole. A new porch, which takes up the entire length of the main façade, is added to the heritage building with a strategy similar to the way other parts were attached in the past and allows an open relationship between the museum and the park in which it is located.
