Teatro Municipal | Donaire Arquitectos

Integrare gli edifici di un’antica cantina con nuovi volumi architettonici per costituire un complesso culturale composto da tre edifici e uno spazio comune: questa la sfida intrapresa e vinta dai sivigliani Donaire Arquitectos, progettisti del Teatro Municipal di Almonte (Spagna). Il teatro costituisce oggi uno dei principali landmark cittadini ed un importante punto d’incontro per la comunità. Luce, materia e spazio sono sviluppati in un rapporto dialettico fatto di contrasti tra esterno e interno, antico e nuovo, scala monumentale e umana. The building is located on the site of an old winery. It has the challenge of integrate the existing old buildings, declared as cultural interest, and being part of a cultural complex of a total of three buildings and a common space. This space turns into the main place of the town and an important meeting area. An opportunity to work on light, material and space. The path chosen to work on these concepts, is the contrast. Contrast between outside and inside, between old and new, including a monumental scale and human scale. And the journey as the thread that sews and explains the intervention. A large area covered with large proportions and controlled height works as a high threshold. A monumental scale lobby welcomes the visitor showing the scale of a public building.
