Last February, Barcelona’s Centre of Contemporary Culture (CCCB) celebrated its first ten years in existence. During this time, this institution has looked to be a showcase to the most modern and innovative cultural expressions focused on reflecting on the concept of the city. In this interview, Josep Ramoneda offers his personal view, as the CCCB’s director. He talks of how this cultural project was born, of how the concept of the institution took shape in the CCCB, of its relations with Barcelona’s Strategic Plan, of how the project has evolved, of the architectural remodelling of the Casa de la Caritat building for its conversion into a cultural centre, of the relations with other institutions and its future.
