The rectangular volumes that remain by Floralia Hall are drastically altered, making the original neoclassical appearance disappear. This huge central nave functions as an interior extension of the public space surrounding it, now transformed into a
A bold structure of steel and wood, resting on new foundations at independent points, stretches over the existing building like a bridge. Not only does it extend the area of the museum, but it also increases the headroom for the upper floor galleries
Two barrel-shaped volumes are integrated into the layout of the park to free up more green space, preserving the autonomy of the Floralia Hall both in form and in function. The two buildings reinterpret the historic structures flanking this central r
The cores and facades of the extension are joined to form the main structure. The slabs and standardized roofs favor natural lighting through a continuous window that offers the option of controlling how much light is used in each room...
The twin volume in proportion, scale, and materiality is placed close to its antecessor, leaving between them a narrow courtyard-gallery space that organizes the museum route, and culminates in both facades in a curve that connects the two...
The extension is conceived as a composition of several volumes clad with the typical brick of the area, but reinterpreted with a lighter appearance, as an openwork, which adds visual appeal and dynamism to the facade by creating an interplay of light
The materials proposed for the extension establish a continuum with the original building, on which it rests lightly with a glass-topped gallery while preserving its identity with a fragmented facade that adapts the scale of the museum to that of the
Several small pieces, articulated between one another, form a unique volume that is camouflaged among the neighboring buildings thanks to its material quality and to its proportionality. The sloping tile roofs help continue this volumetric sequence..
A longitudinal volume with clear and precise geometry opens up to create a covered plaza that functions as welcome space. The natural landscape is framed by a large descending stairway that spans the marked topographical difference...
The large lower surface of the site remains below ground and, therefore, hidden from the street. Towards the city, a horizontal platform is transformed into the main lookout, from which emerge three pieces whose scale adapts to the city, small and co
A slightly sloping footbridge connects the two buildings located at either side of the river. The ramp meets the main volume, constructed in compressed earth, at an opening that emphasizes the project’s aim of creating a new gate to the city...
To break with the hermetic structure of the original building, the design proposes the addition of a series of spaces with generous headroom that culminates in a cantilevered main gallery. The rooftop garden offers beautiful views of the park...
The stepped gallery sequence is woven together with a new “superfloor” of gallery and program spaces that float above the treetops. The original concourse is transformed into a transparent facade that reveals the activity inside...
The vaulted profile of the new pavilions, the ethereal and porous materiality of the envelope and the redesign of the circulation inside the galleries aim to spark in the visitor the sensation of walking through a ‘museum in a garden’...
Aside from the building for the art gallery, the proposal includes a civic center in which the different programs converge. South of the plot, on top of another new pavilion, a suspended roof offers a place for outdoor activities...
The public space of the museum is transformed to create a staggered topography that extends from the exterior of the building, crossing the new sequence of interior exhibition wings until reaching the rooftops, which are also accessible....
The roof of solar panels will protect both travelers waiting in the station itself and the terraces of the blocks of offices, and adopts the form of a series of catenary arches that evoke that profile of the city with the sierra of Madrid in the back
The north terminal, inspired by the mountains in the backdrop of the station, is a geometric response to the vaulted system of the south terminal. In both cases, the double-height floors offer visual and spatial continuity with the exterior…
This flexible system organizes the ensemble by means of a geometric grid inspired by the current domes. The proposal consists of a modular terminal, a system of raised platforms, and a minimum intervention on the old passenger terminal…
The perimeter blocks enclose the central space, in a manner similar to that of the typical plazas of the historic centers in Spanish cities. In contrast, a technological aesthetic prevails in the metallic forest of canopies that protects the platform
The solar roof, formed by a simple structure of individual pitched modules, protects more than 130,000 square meters of station, and adopts a dynamic parallelogram shape that softens its encounter with the city along its four orientations…
The station, covered by a textile canopy, constitutes two referential urban spaces: the platforms and the inner streets. The perimeter paths connect the four sides of the complex and generate different atmospheres for public use…
The proposal’s main aim is to improve the connection between Chamartín and the city, turning the plaza into a destination in its own right. Modular and prefabricated construction is used both on the roof and on the short-distance train platforms…
