In collaboration with the architects Hago, the Badajoz Museum of Fine Arts is developed, recently nominated for the MIES VAN DER ROHE architecture 2014 awards.

“With a prestressed skin of perforated cement on the facades, ceilings, and interior borders to visually link together the building’s different spaces, the Madrid studio Hago – Antonio Álvarez-Cienfuegos Rubio and Emilio Delgado Martos – has carried out the expansion of the Fine Arts Museum (MUBA) of Badajoz and the renovation of the existing building, located in the historical quarter of the Extremaduran city. The cultural complex presents two new constructions connected by a courtyard, each opening up to two different streets. While complying with heritage guidelines and paying attention to archaeological remains as well as to contact with party walls, the program addresses functional, spatial, and structural requirements in an L-shaped scheme.”
