The competition rules state an urban needs in order to revitalize the historic center. Our proposal, far from raising global action, aims to create a major trigger for the activation of this historic downtown area. It is proposed to build a visitor reception center on the site located north of Calle Ramon y Cajal, opposite the main entrance of the Museum. This building largely solve all the needs identified in the program of the competition with regard to public car parks, entrances, bus stops and connections between Calle Juan de Quesada and the historic center.
The proposal suggests that a space that serves as presentation for all the cultural axis that exists in this area of the city is settled inside.Its roof, a large viewing platform, will serve as a public space prior to the Museum and emphasize the presence of the institution in the urban fabric, also dignifying the presence of the building in the environment.Generally a dual action is pursued, since in the north facade the permanence of historical space is represented, while in the south the volume that hosts all functional uses of the program offering a more contemporary image of the built complex is drawn.The proposed Museum of Fine Arts in Gran Canaria presents a comprehensive review of the existing set in order to renew its functionality and upgrade relations with the environment of the city.
