Text description provided by the architects. Over the past ten years, in Europe and worldwide alike, numerous examples of old and abandoned industrial objects being reused as exhibition spaces and cultural centers have appeared as successful models of sustainability for urban sites and urban fabric. Thanks to its quality, its spatial organization, size and variety of uses, one example of such a reuse is certainly the Pijacal complex, a former coal mine site in Labin, in the Croatian region of Istria, which now houses the new Labin Town Library.
