01 / Building stories
Read a building, discover a way of living.
Designed by Pitágoras, the centre forms part of the transformation of the former municipal market. Building and square participate in cultural life.
Observe the volumes from the square, then approach their materials. Architecture arranges transitions between outside and galleries beyond a façade image.
Before entering an exhibition, ask where you hurry and where you want to stay. Carry that attention into viewing the works.
What to notice
Compare volumes, materials and walking rhythm between square and entrance.
The Cauldron suggests holding and transformation. A cultural space gains value by bringing different experiences together.
