Number 2 Blast Furnace, Sagunto, Spain
Premio Unión Europea de Patrimonio Cultural / Premio Europa Nostra 2012 ganador – Naturaleza (Grand Prix)
The Restoration of the Number 2 Blast Furnace in Sagunto has been the recovery of the most significant remains of what was the major iron and steelwork industry of the Mediterranean basin, which worked from 1917 to 1984. It’s located in Puerto de Sagunto, the town near the sea that grew with the iron industry. Besides its powerful imagery and commemorative nature, its educational potential was a determining factor in preventing its demolition when the iron industry of Sagunto was definitively closed. It has a responsibility to give back to Puerto de Sagunto an element of identification and memory of its origins and its industrial past.
Project will be presented by Architect, Carmel Gradolí. Collaboration with his partner architect Arturo Sanz has been recognized with several mentions and awards at national and European level by our work in construction, landscaping, urban projects and intervention in heritage. Some of their previous restauration projects in Valencia include: The Arab Tower “Torre dels Coloms”, Mill “Molí del Tell”, Research on the reintegration of the Islamic defensive system etc.
