Description of the project by Ferrán Vizoso Architecture
The main objective of the intervention was the recovery of the public use of the old temple without overturning its appearance, symbol and expression of the Battle of the Ebro. Its transformation into a safe new large multifunctional hall did not have to alter the memory of the War Civil that the building represents so well.
In the third phase of the work the structural consolidation of the ruin was completed and its new transparent cover of ETFE was constructed. The new cover prevents the deterioration of the construction by the action of atmospheric agents and improves noticeably its conditions of habitability.
From the beginning of the work one thing was clear, the restoration had to preserve the subtle balance between nature and construction, between exterior and interior, that all the ruins have.
The perception of being still outside the "being inside" had to be maintained. The solar rays through the light deck, the breezes and the songs of the birds crossing the high ships and the pavement of sand have made possible this.
The intervention was made with great care, and on the first visit we perceived that there were more ruins in the place than those ones that were apparent to the eye, consequences of the trauma of war. The recovery of the civic use of the old church has closed old wounds and has helped that the older people of the place reconciled with the scenes of its infantile games. This has undoubtedly been the greatest joy that has given us of this work.
The architecture study Ferran Vizoso Architecture has completed the rehabilitation of the old church of Corbera d'Ebre, symbol and expression of the Battle of the Ebro that had to be treated without altering the memory of the Civil War that the building represents.
The proposal of Ferrán Vizoso Architecture stands out for bringing together refined technique and special sensitivity to work on a building loaded with memory that was in a deplorable state of ruin. In the third phase the structural consolidation of the ruin was completed and its new transparent ETFE roof was built.
