Josep Ferrando proposed a rehabilitation strategy for a former prison in Reus (Catalonia, Spain). It consists of unravelling the building’s form and content, thereby revealing its temporality and integrating a conscious present. The architect’s methodology frees the project from preconceptions conditioned by fashionable tendencies, resulting instead in a clear, orderly, and timeless architecture. To embrace its new function as a centre for the community, the rehabilitation required a completely different fit with the public space. The starting point was reversing the hierarchy of the street fronts, followed by replicating a pavilion attached to one side of the building on the opposite wing.
