This new project of A-cero includes a building, which hosted a market and has been transformed in a cultural and leisure center. This is sited in the center of the city of Getafe, which located near Madrid.
The idea of the studio of Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares was to reconvert completely this municipal market, which has been deserted from years. The status of the existing building was semiruins and the proposal of the city council was to give to the townspeople a multifunctional center focus above all in cultural events.
Talking about the building, this has a rectangular shape with 510 sqm surface and was composed for two different buildings and an empty parcel. The first one with two floors and included the main entrance, and the second constituted the main part of the old municipal market with a diaphanous space.
This project of rehabilitation includes two floors and a basement. About the first floor, it is important to highlight that this includes the hall, a big diaphanous all-purposes space and a storage and services area. On the other hand, the second floor has two large lecture classes and different common areas; and finally the basement it is reserved to storage. The building includes stairs and two lifts, one of whom is for service.
The ground floor includes a useful area of 450 sqm with a reception hall, wardrobe, toilets and the exhibition and activities room, and the top floor counts with an area of 205 sqm that includes a walkway lobby, toilets and two multipurpose rooms for expositions and meetings.
This rehabilitation tries to show a modern and technologic image but keeping and protecting the old building with its original character.
