Our cities are an expression of the social and economic imbalance that exists in our cities. Casa Bloc was conceived as the antithesis of this general drift. At the time, it was the first decent building designed for the working class in Spain, in the 30s of the 20th century, but it fell into the hands of the military under the Franco regime and its end was never as originally planned.
More than 90 years later, the new rehabilitation, which combines current social needs with historical restoration, welcomes a group of new arrivals. They come from different backgrounds, but they all need the same basic right: a decent home.
