Museo De La Memoria De Andalucia in Granada / Spain - Alberto Campo Baeza

Posted Monday, August 24, 2009 by SixSevenEightNine in Labels:

































In May this year the Commune of Granada, Spain opened the new Museo De
La Memoria De Andalucia, designed by the Spanish architecture practice
around Alberto Campo Baeza. The complex consists of a massive but slim
vertical building and a lower part with a central patio in ellipsoidal
form in which some circular ramps connect the three levels.

A word from the architect:
"We propose a podium building measuring 60m x 120 m and three stories
high, so that its upper floor coincides with that of the lower body of
the podim of the main building of the Caja Granada – and also the
façade. Everything is arranged around a central patio. And to a top it
all, as if it was a Gate to the City, a strong vertical piece arises,
the same height and width as the main building of the Caja Granada. It
appears in front of the highway that circles Granada like a
screen-façade on which to send messages over large plasma screens that
will cover it entirely.”

Some photos of the project under construction. Rarely does a
construction site look so poetic too.

Via Alberto Campo Baeza...
