When confronted with the task of housing an architectural
documentation center and a theater within the arcades of the
Nuevos Ministerios on Madrid's Paseo de la Castellana, architects
Jesus
Aparicio Guisado and Hector Fernández-Elorza had
to deal with many complex interactions with the existing building
and infrastructure. In addition to structural, programmatic
and contextual concerns the architects strove to minimize
their intervention on the existing building while also creating
a simple and flexible space, something definitely easier said
than done.
