Disseny Hub

The arrival in the building on the plaça de les Glòries of the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, the Barcelona Centre de Disseny (BCD), and the Foment de les Arts i del Disseny (FAD), all paramount institutions in the promotion, dissemination and development of design in Catalonia, heralds a new phase for Disseny Hub Barcelona.
Designed by the studio, MBM Arquitectes, this building was conceptualised to house activities intended to enhance the visibility and enormous impact of the elementary discipline that is design, which is key to revitalising Barcelona socially, culturally and economically, both at home and abroad. Disseny Hub Barcelona is patently a new architectural icon for the city. It is also a modern facility, as evinced in the public precinct surrounding the building and featuring, among others, the BruumRuum! illuminated graphic installation, the work of David Torrents and artec3.
Management of the Disseny Hub Barcelona building is the result of public-private collaboration shared between the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, BCD and FAD. The conjunction of these three agents, benchmark entities in the design world, is unique in all of Spain and a rare occurrence internationally.
