Fira 2 is located halfway between the city's port and El Prat airport, surrounded by an unattractive industrial area, warehouses and markets.
The new building, which is designed to significantly increase the area of the complex, consists of two identical towers - office buildings, a hotel with a shopping center, an auditorium, a lobby with administration premises, designed as a separate volume, and, of course, exhibition pavilions.
All these buildings are connected by a wide pedestrian bridge, named after the most famous street in Barcelona "Rambla". It reaches almost one kilometer in length and meanders along the entire territory of the exhibition complex.
The lobby building, which forms the main entrance of the ensemble, is located parallel to this axis, next to the new railway station. Its wave-like curving roof is supported on the inside by illuminated pillars of streamlined shapes, and on the outside - by tree-like pillars, immediately attracting the attention of the visitor.
Thus, Ito turned a purely functional development into an elegant and original walking route, despite its remote location from the centers of public life of the city and some general neglect of the area.
