Unique Convent Building in Modern and Ancient Combination – Convent de Sant Francesc

Convent de Sant Francesc by David Closes

David Closeshas contributed a great deal to the significantly different look of the Spanish town of Santpedor. He designed a remodel of the Sant Francesc convent building in the town, creating a unique combination of modern exterior stairway and ancient stone building. The modern design of the stairway is really contrast to the faint atmosphere of the historical convent. The stairway covered in blur glasses wall obtrusively juts out the wall and spreads out the bright light from inside the building. Such view interestingly makes the old building look even more conspicuous and strangely magnificent.
