- Contemporary arts workshop proposal
An adaptive reuse study that turns a rationalist building into a place for contemporary art through contrasting routes, frames and new spatial layers.
The proposal retains the rational order of the inherited building while introducing curved paths and a lighter secondary layer. It explores how a former institutional setting can become a place for making, displaying and encountering contemporary art.
Transparent frames and contrasting interventions open new possibilities within the existing spaces. Art can occupy these frames over time, allowing the building’s future use to remain open to its visitors.
