Teresa Carrau Carbonell led the project for the refurbishment of the auditorium of the Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia, in Spain. The box-shaped space has taken advantage of all the meters allowed for the project.
The mobility provided by the folding and sliding walls and the flexible panels means that this assembly hall can be adapted to any type of need depending on the event to be held, making it a highly versatile space.

The auditorium remodeled by architect Teresa Carrau Carbonell aims to be a room where spectators can focus their senses on what is presented at the back of the room. To this end, elements such as the orthogonal ribs that produce tunnel vision at the back and the lighting between these ribs have been included so as not to disturb the audience's vision.
The materials used throughout the auditorium are wood in the ribs and linoleum on the floor, combining the brown color of these elements with the black of the seats and the black of the back wall where there is a screen.

Description of project by Teresa Carrau Carbonell
Traditionally, the living room is the main place in the house, where you can comfortably receive your friends. An assembly hall is the central meeting place before an event. Come and see! Listening, watching, discovering, and even discussing is what we will do in this great hall of the Architects' Association. We propose to turn everything off. Like in the Great Circus before the show starts. We turn off everything to look only at the spotlight, to facilitate concentration, relaxation, and enjoyment for the 5 senses.
We propose a big box, taking advantage of the maximum volume allowed. The compressed preamble and the well-marked orthogonal ribs emphasize the parallelepiped, ready for the big show. We propose a versatile space, easy to adapt to different needs, like a theatre stage, while preserving the exciting atmosphere required. The box is materialized by means of wooden ribs, vertically and horizontally, marking the volume well. On the floor, a silent linoleum flooring. The air and ventilation installations are concealed behind this torn skin. Lighting is particularly important. To avoid disturbing the eye, we propose indirect lighting between the ribs. Moreover, it is flexible, making it possible to create an optimal atmosphere for any of the events that take place there.
