This project, carried out for the subject of the DAC of Rehabilitation, is based on one of the two
military buildings that are in the foothills of Montjuic, in the district of “El Polvorín”, now, part of
the “Marina del Port”.
In this building resided the guard that guarded the warehouse where the gunpowder was stored
to supply the arms of the Castle of Montjuic. Through it a tour of history, environment and the
whole is made to understand the meaning and importance of the building.
In this study a description is made as detailed as possible to understand how it was built and its
deterioration over the years. And it is helped by means of photographs, graphs and drawings to
be able to visualize it.
The process carried out for the graphic survey is detailed, explaining which information sources
have been consulted, which tools have been used for the measurement and finally the plans
derived from all this work have been included.
The project will consist of different sections. In them we will describe the building in its current
state, locating all those injuries as well as detecting all those points for which the current legal
regulations are not being met.
In the second section, the necessary proposals will be made to solve the localized injuries as
well as for the building to comply with the stipulations of the Technical Building Code. Likewise,
the realization of some functional and / or aesthetic improvements will be studied to make the
building more useful.
With the improvements in communication, and the inauguration this September, of two new
subway stations in this neighborhood, access to the building, almost unknown in Barcelona, has
been facilitated in this way the search for information and data collection It has been easier.
This project has been carried out between the months of September 2018 and December 2019.
