Manresa City Hall Architectural Design by ADD+ Arquitectura

Answering the needs for better workspace, ADD+ Arquitectura has completed a challenging dynamic project for Manresa City Hall building extension. The building is located near the edge of a hill bordering the river Cardener and in front of the Montserrat Mountains.

Things that made this project as an architectural challenge was the odd odd looking extension which served to the designers. They needed to come up with ideas to pack a separate space for the stairways, the lift and other viewpoints along the way.

Called a ‘graft’, the giant shapeless structure is said to be a part of the original building rather than just an add-on. Irrespective of its weird look and the eyebrows it might raise (from those who love aesthetics), it serves the purpose pretty wild.

Woodworking is a piece of cake …

With tons of blueprints (over 16,000!) for different furniture designs and outdoor woodwork projectsyou can have a great insight into how to build different things with wood. In it, they tell you about wood, how to design projects, the detailed photographs, patterns, blueprints, materials list and step by step instructions on how to put build them.

The second part shows you the different tools and how to use them, and a complete guide to woodwork carpentry. And the color photographs and drawings are beautiful and show a lot of detail.

    Yes, but that doesn’t really explain why they didn’t just build a big box like 99.999% of other designers would!! \
    Nevermind, love the photos, especially pics of the interior.
