LocationTavernes de la Valldigna, Valencia
Project1989
Floor area4,400 m²
SECOND PRIZE
This was the first project jointly undertaken by the partners of Martí-Miralles Architectes.
It was a tender for a cultural centre that called for the creation of a unique landmark building in the town’s urban setting. We put forward a white building, slightly set back from the avenue in order to allow the creation of a square facing Passeig de Lepanto.
To facilitate a good relationship between the buildings’ public spaces and the outside we designed large gaps in the lower floors. A sealed white form with a broken outline emerges from the second floor and contains the conference hall and stage, which for operational reasons have to be opaque.
