MUSEO DEL PRADO EXPLORATION
Madrid - España
The massing plan for the expansion of the Prado Museum is based on an analysis ofthe contextual site. On one hand, we have the large Retiro Park, avery important green space for the city. On the otherhand,the main roadsthatconnect the museum with the center of Madrid. We decided to use the connection between the museum and the city center to generate the main accesses to the project,respondingtothelargepedestrian, vehicular and public transport flows.
To implement the architectural object, it was decided to use the axis of inclination, which o ers both the existing slope and the facade of the Villanueva building. Similarly, the church of Los Jerónimos and the existing platform where the ruins are located.
The intention is clear: the project seeks to generate a dialogue with the existing buildings through the di erent heights, articulations of volumes and views that make up the architectural object. The harmony and the concept of generating addition from the totality by building where it has already been built.

Turning the site into a dangerous area because of its decay. This is where the concept of Topophilia comes in. Understanding it as the a ective bond between people, the neighborhood and the surrounding environment.

Hacienda Jose Antonio is located next to the LLanganates National Park. Its main sources of income are cattle, agriculture and tourism. Due to the growing influx of tourists, the need to design a new space to accommodate more visitors was created.
