La Carbonería, the rehabilitation of a collective housing building in Barcelona by architect Ángel Borrego Cubero ( OSS Office for Strategic Spaces), has been selected for inclusion in Project Wall, the travelling exhibition organized by World-Architects in collaboration with ARCHITECT@WORK.
Presented for the sixth time, Project Wall brings together 44 selected projects from around the world that demonstrate innovative approaches to the transformation, adaptation, and reuse of existing buildings and landscapes. The exhibition highlights architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and lighting design projects that respond to changing environmental, social, and functional conditions, treating the built environment not as a static entity but as a dynamic system capable of adaptation.
The 2025–2026 edition will debut in Hamburg, Germany, on 17 September 2025 and will tour ARCHITECT@WORK events across 13 countries. Each project is accompanied by an architectural critique that provides further insight into its design strategies and broader significance.
The inclusion of La Carbonería recognizes the project’s contribution to contemporary debates on housing rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, and urban regeneration. Located in Barcelona, the project explores how existing residential structures can be transformed to meet current social and environmental challenges while preserving their architectural and urban value.
World-Architects is an internationally recognized and carefully curated platform dedicated to contemporary architecture. Through profiles, publications, and exhibitions, it showcases the work of leading architects, landscape architects, engineers, interior designers, lighting designers, and architectural photographers from around the world.
