Magma Art & Congress
Awards: XI Venice Architecture Biennial IX Biennial of Spanish Architecture Accessibility Award SINPROMI Architecture Award Nomination Awards Nomination Mies van der Rohe Finalist in the IX Biennial of Spanish Architecture, Magma Arte & Congresos Manuel de Oraá Award FAD Awards Finalist
Description: MAGMA Arts and Congress appears as a reference point amongst anonymous buildings. The semi-desert landscape around it and the proximity of the sea, an imposing presence that frames the building establishing a strong relationship between both, an impressive view over La Gomera island, are the starting points of the concept of the building. Thirteen geometrically shaped blocks emerge out from the base housing all the functions such as offices, toilets, cafeteria, etc. and creating a light movement that generates the flow of the roof, outlining the space in every direction. In-between these pieces there are the public spaces: hall, conference hall and congress hall, which accommodate different activities with a varying degree of division.
