Bauhaus anno 2010

The economist, politician and defender of civil rights, Ernest Lluch Martín was born in Vilassar de Mar in 1937. Today, the town’s new library carries his name: Biblioteca Municipal Ernest Lluch i Martín.


Màrius Cuintana, an architect from Barcelona and the curator of the Mies Van Der Rohe Pavilion since 1999, designed the building for the library. It is signified by lightness, transparency, spaciousness and functionality. The Opal Shelving System makes a perfect fit to the architecture.
