LAOS (Xavier Botet + Albert Saboya) has completed the rehabilitation of Sants Centro Social in Barcelona, a 1,000 m² project transforming a 1950 building into a flexible, sustainable community space. Curated by Valentina Díaz, the project prioritizes people and neighborhood life while preserving the structure's urban memory.
