Designer's statement

The corresponding facade to the c/Ollerias is aligned and staggered back, with the intention of articulating the building to the nineteenth century architecture that forms the street; the entrance also is indicated just by a slight gesture of the front panel.

In the new square, the cultural center opens way to the public zone with caution but indicating its situation: a wide staircase is the first approximation, the only reference on the square. In the play of the volumes the surrounding party walls also find their place, with the new building between them.
