"FR Focalisée sur la peinture catalane, la collection d’Antoni Vila Casas, grosse fortune de l’industrie pharmaceutique, se laisse admirer. Mais c’est l’écrin qui l’abrite qui nous subjugue le plus. L’ancienne usine Framis, haut lieu de l’industrie textile au xixe siècle, a subi, sous la houlette du studio BAAS Arquitectura, l’agence de l’architecte barcelonais Jordi Badia, un lifting au cordeau. Entre proéminences de béton et meurtrières de verre, on déambule à travers un paysage quasi brutaliste où, dehors comme dedans, le moindre recoin respire la lumineuse inspiration. Un lieu bien à l’image de Poblenou, ancien quartier manufacturier en pleine reviviscence. EN With its focus on Catalan painting, the collection brought together by Antoni Vila Casas and paid for by the huge fortune made in the pharmaceutical industry is there to be admired, but it’s the building that contains it that captivates the most. The former Framis factory was the focus for the city’s textiles industry in the 19th century, and was repurposed to a rectilinear scheme envisioned by BAAS Arquitectura. Between concrete salients and glass arrow slits, visitors stroll through a quasi-brutalist landscape in which every nook and cranny breathes the inspirational breath of light. It is also typical of Poblenou, the former industrial quarter of the city that is now enjoying a massive revival."
