项目概况:

The new ABC Center of Drawing and Illustration,comes with a willingness to be an artistic international reference and acultural symbol of Madrid. The installation in the old factory building inAmaniel Street has to be a suitable intervention in a historic building withoutsacrificing the character of expressing a contemporary center with a diverserange of cultural and artistic institutions. The existing building has a possible dualaccess from two streets connecting them in an interior court. Before theintervention, one of the entrances was through a longitudinal height body thatclosed the courtyard. From this front we propose the principal access to thenew Center ABC. To achieve this, the mentioned longitudinal body isrestructured as a great “girder” of translucent glass that operates as a linteltowards the interior court. Located inside is the cafeteria, and under it,through a glass floor on which you enter the courtyard, the basement of the newcenter catche the light. To create a space or “atrium” in the newinstitution, that will allow the center to express its contemporary and moderncharacter, it was proposed to use the courtyard as the access space of thebuilding that would serve as a lobby before the entrance to the interior space.The architectural mechanism used for this aim is based on creating a “vacuumstressed” a “dihedral space” formed by the horizontal plane of the floor of thecourtyard and the vertical plane of the facade of the former factory. Both perforated planes are built with similartriangular holes that will supply light into the spaces they serve. Thisgenerates a “weightless space” that mixes the real, imaginary and symbolic. Asa “huge magnet”, it will catch and carry us with a certain power of seductioninto the new institution, provoking simultaneously curiosity, anxiety andpleasure while visiting it.
