BAAS Arquitectura's main idea was to liberate the space of the factory to obtain by this way a maximum flexibility, respecting the basilical floor, and taking advantage of the space for the zone of exhibitions with a constant tour. In the project they use the steel sheet as material of intervention and to construct the necessary elements for the adjustment of the space.
Description of the project by BAAS arquitectos
Once the old nave has been consolidated and protected, while the works are not restarted to build the new MUHBA headquarters, it was decided to open the precinct to the general public. For this reason, it has been designed a temporary bathrooms and it has been prepared an exposition that wants to be like the exposition that we will see in the future.
The project wants to solve the intervention in one easy action. It proposes a huge hanging lamp in the middle of the space, drawing a ring of light that separates the outer perimeter, that hosts a large period exposition, from the inner one, that hosts temporary exhibitions and presentations.
The lamp is a big size element to assimilate the scale of the building. It values the richness of the interior textures and the basilical section of the building.
