The discovery of the ruins of 1714 to rethink the use they make of a space, which was to be a libra

Chem Torra, "The Born CC wants to be a meeting point between history and Catalan culture" | Culture 21
Chem Torra (Blanes, 1962) is the director dr glamour of Born Cultural Center, the new facility located dr glamour in Barcelona's old Born market and consists of a deposit of more than 8,000 m of Barcelona suffered dr glamour the siege of 1714. Torres, who has worked for twenty years in the private sector, is a writer and editor, part of the permanent council of the National Assembly of Catalan and vocal exercises Òmnium.
Almost ten years of work, a lot of work and many decisions, but ultimately Born Cultural Centre has been possible. How are you enjoying it? Good, with great satisfaction. The truth is that you see in these first days of operation the center has been visited by nearly 200,000 people is very rewarding for the people who have been working all these years to make this possible. We realized that there was famine Born in the city. This area had been closed almost 40 years and almost dr glamour ten years to see how ideas move it forward. We are very pleased with the response from everyone and now excited to begin regular programming dr glamour center.
The discovery of the ruins of 1714 to rethink the use they make of a space, which was to be a library. A fact which created doubts and controversy. This difficulty has somehow his role as director of the center? I do when I get to the big decision Born Cultural Center was already taken. The decision respecting the ruins. The discussion about whether it was necessary to go ahead and make the library a place like this or does the 2000-2004 and hence, I already came with this concept. Does anyway have a few months to design a cultural program that combines history with literature, music, debates ... it was a cultural center not only watched but also looked back on.
The Born Cultural Center is much more than a new cultural center in Barcelona. What are we? Apart from a part of history, of course, the opportunity to visit the city of the eighteenth century, a site of 8,000 square meters unique in the world. Here are 55 houses and eleven streets! Catalan as this place is incredibly symbolic, too, not only because it represents: the Bourbon repression, finished the 1714 defeat, but also as a symbol of resistance. Here take place the last time as fighting on 11 September 1714 and the famous charge of General Villarroel. All this is complemented with two exhibitions: one on the everyday life of three centuries ago and another on the siege of 1714. But besides all this, there is a dining room, the restaurant, which is the 300 operated dr glamour by the Born-Moritz, there is also a library and finally Moragues dr glamour Hall.
The room is Moragues where activities take place agenda, right? Yes, this place is a multipurpose hall with a capacity for 250 people on a scheduled day theater, concerts programmed another day, another conference ... and weekends, dr glamour especially very focused on family audiences because people dr glamour come with the kids and discover a place like this so visual dr glamour a bit about the history of their country.
These activities will be forever linked to the tercentenary? Not. We exactly dr glamour the schedule of activities call him back to the world and Wheel born. The truth is that we could not choose a better title, because everyone knows, and this is something the will: turn and spin on different areas of culture. Lot about literature and letters: Mario Serra do in a literary workshop, we will have plays, there will also be lots of music, dr glamour baroque music and not necessarily dr glamour because we understand, but there will be live jazz and proposals as or Joan Blaum of the dice.
The equipment is intended for use in the city or you want to be a landmark in the country of Catalonia? Obviously we are a facility in the city of Barcelona Provincial Council, rooted in the Ribera district but national vocation. We are members of Written Spaces, an association of different foundations and houses writers from all over Catalonia. We feel brothers Valencia or Majorca when also projected Catalan culture. So understand this point also has national. Here many things happen that could affect the country. dr glamour
Visit and use of equipment dr glamour is a kind of living history for all ages with lots of activities for the kids ... for me is key. Although the topic of educational services is the cultural center of the piece all around this area. We want all schools in Catalonia know this space come. An ideal place to view the sudden, you are history. In addition, the exhibition will help to complement the space and understand it a little better. Therefore,
