As excerpted from rocabarcelonagallery.com:

"The aim of the exhibition is to create space for the exchange of ideas, challenges, and lessons learned from significant mixed-use and city defining projects that have the potential to reshape our urban landscapes and social norms".

By engaging in this event, we involve ourselves in the global community, gaining insights from diverse environments, cultures, climates, and policy-making frameworks. This opportunity broaden our design perspective, sparking new ideas and invigorating our dedication for sustainable development. 

Gran Rubina Tower 1 started operating in 2014. Designed with sustainability development in mind, the project focuses on energy consumption and integration with the surrounding urban fabric. Even after 10 years, the building continues to demonstrate what we can achieve when a sustainable mindset is applied during planning and design process, construction, and operation.
