An Academic Look at the Correos Site: Students from Granada Visit Almería Accompanied by José Ángel Ferrer

A group of students from the Master’s Degree in Architecture at the Higher Technical School of Granada visited Almería to develop an academic project on the historic Correos site. The experience, led by architect and professor Alejandro Muñoz Miranda, was carried out in collaboration with our director, José Ángel Ferrer.

During the day, Ferrer provided the students with a contextual overview of the city’s history and this urban site, inviting them to reflect on its strategic value and its potential as a space for the future.

The tour also included a visit to the Cable Inglés, where they were able to learn first-hand about the restoration project in which Ferrer Arquitectos has participated. Although only the upper pedestrian walkway has been completed so far, the full project envisions recovering the interior volume for cultural, exhibition and hospitality uses — an example of how architecture can breathe new life into a unique heritage asset.

The Granero building comes to life with this exhibition, which is part of a series of cultural initiatives organized by the Almería City Council and the Department of Culture of the Andalusian Regional Government to revitalize the Historic Center of Almería.

Rehabilitation works will begin soon according to the project carried out by Ferrer Arquitectos.

We are looking forward to seeing the transformation of this extraordinary building, a former ecclesiastical granary transformed into a residential building by Trinidad Quartara in the late 19th century.

Almería Tierra Abierta Foundation

Almería Tierra Abierta Foundation

The Almería Tierra Abierta Foundation (FATA) was established last Friday, July 28th.

From Ferrer Arquitectos, we want to show our support for FATA and our commitment to improving the living conditions of workers in the agricultural sector who are currently in settlements that do not meet the minimum human conditions of habitability.

This situation, in addition to the humanitarian problem it poses, constitutes a serious problem for Almería’s agriculture by transmitting a very negative image of the agricultural sector in the destination markets.

Ferrer Arquitectos’ commitment to the Almería agro-industrial sector through initiatives such as ARCOA or HUMANIZA, where for several years we have been working on the humanization of agro-industrial spaces and on improving the productivity and image of the agricultural sector, has led our Director, José Ángel Ferrer, to become one of the founding partners of FATA, thus contributing, to the extent of our possibilities, to the improvement of the living conditions of the people who work in the Almería agro-industrial sector.
