MX_SI architectural studio, Federico García Lorca Centre, section
The building, comprising two volumes of 4,700 sqm, is laid out in a succession of different flexible and expressive spaces that house the various cultural uses. A 400-seat theatre equipped with a acoustic shell and mobile walls that soundproof it from the foyer and provide the necessary quality for concerts and plays. A library made up of two spaces of different heights, for the book stacks and the reading room, which offers views of the suspended box that is the iron-clad archive where the poet’s original manuscripts are safeguarded. There is also a gallery of generous dimensions that occupies the basement, plus a cafeteria, a shop, offices, storage space and services.
