Presentation

The building

The new Huarte Contemporary Art Centre presents itself as an interactive space for exhibits and social activities that can be constantly expanded, modified and restructured.  In this sense, the building is not merely an art container, but acts as a support for multiple cultural activities.

The interior of the building, which has 6,500 m2 at its disposal, holds the exhibit halls.  Distributed through three levels, it is a neutral and bright space that adapts to the requirements of each exhibit.  The ground floor is organized around a foyer that connects the multipurpose hall, the media library, the cafeteria-restaurant and the access to the upper floors.

The exterior has a metallic net covering which marks the open-air activity space; projections, temporary exhibits, musical acts, celebrations and public engagements.  The use of this space changes throughout the year with the change in season and permits an interaction between the visitor and the natural surroundings.
 
The Huarte Contemporary Art Centre is a work by the Catalonian architects Franc Fernández de Eduardo, Carles Puig and Xavier Vancells, who have carried out different projects jointly like the remodelling of the Palacio de Deportes of Barcelona into a Music Theatre, finalist in the FAD Architecture Awards or the new Town Hall of Sant Cugat del Vallés (Barcelona).
