In modern architecture, curved structures<\/strong> have gained prominence, bringing dynamism and fluidity to contemporary designs. These forms not only challenge traditional structures but also involve significant technical complexities. <\/p>\n\n

Integrating curved elements in buildings<\/strong> requires the application of advanced construction techniques<\/strong>. Therefore, the manufacturing and bending of metal profiles<\/strong><\/a> demand precision and expertise to ensure that each component fits perfectly with the architectural design. <\/p>\n\n

Our specialization in aluminum and steel profile bending<\/strong> has allowed us to collaborate on large-scale projects in Europe and America, working alongside architects and builders to bring to life structures that push the limits of technique and aesthetics. From curved curtain walls to <\/strong>curved fa\u00e7ades<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>complex metal structures<\/strong><\/a>, we deliver innovative solutions that combine functionality and design.<\/p>\n\n

If you want to explore some architectural projects in Spain<\/strong> where we\u2019ve applied our expertise in bending aluminum and steel profiles<\/strong>, keep reading \u2014 we\u2019ll walk you through them.<\/p>\n\n

Sant Antoni Market: history, modernization, and Mabelux\u2019s contribution<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The Sant Antoni Market<\/strong>, located in the heart of Barcelona<\/strong>, is one of the city\u2019s most iconic commercial structures. Designed by architect Antoni Rovira i Trias, its construction began in 1879 as part of the Cerd\u00e0 Plan \u2014 an ambitious urban expansion project following the demolition of the city\u2019s old walls. <\/p>\n\n

Inaugurated in 1882, the market was the first in the city to be established outside the old town, becoming a major supply center. Over the years, it has been a point of reference not only for fresh food trade but also for textiles, books, and collectibles \u2014 giving rise to the Sant Antoni Encants Market<\/strong> and the Sunday Book Market<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

With its iconic iron structure and Greek cross layout, the Sant Antoni Market has witnessed Barcelona\u2019s commercial and urban growth.<\/p>\n\n

A modernization process with archaeological challenges<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

In 2007, an ambitious rehabilitation project<\/strong> began, aiming to modernize the market\u2019s facilities without losing its historical essence. During excavation work, important archaeological remains were discovered, including: the Roman Via Augusta<\/strong>, a Roman necropolis<\/strong>, and the San Antonio bastion<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

These findings significantly delayed the works, extending the restoration process until 2018.<\/p>\n\n

Today, the Sant Antoni Market<\/strong> is a fully renovated space that preserves its historical essence while offering a modern and efficient infrastructure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Mabelux\u2019s contribution: bending stainless steel profiles for a renewed market<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

During the market’s renovation, Mabelux <\/strong>was responsible for bending stainless steel profiles<\/strong><\/a> by the brand Jansen<\/strong>, used in numerous curved windows<\/strong> throughout the building.<\/p>\n\n
