Afterlife

Yes. The original industrial building already provides a large, open and flexible space, and the renovation preserves this spatial quality rather than introducing fixed elements that could limit future uses.

The intervention focuses mainly on upgrading the building’s technical systems and improving their adaptability. Motorized blinds, height-adjustable suspended lighting structures and flexible lighting configurations allow the space to respond to different exhibition requirements without altering its architecture.

In this sense, the project understands adaptive reuse not only as the transformation of a former industrial building into an exhibition space, but also as a way of preserving its capacity to accommodate different uses and configurations over time.

Yes. The intervention was largely conceived through dry construction systems. The new timber elements are mechanically assembled and can be dismantled, allowing their components to be removed, reused or recycled in the future. The exterior stone paving is also dry-laid, without mortar, so that the individual pieces can be lifted and reused.

No concrete or cement was introduced as part of the intervention. This approach reduces irreversible alterations to the existing building, facilitates the separation and potential reuse of materials, and allows future modifications with minimal impact on the original architecture.
