Centro de las Artes de A Coruña

The Madrid based architecture studio of Victoria Acebo and Ángel Alonso were the winners of the Premio de Arquitectura Joven (young architects prize), and their design for the Arts Centre in A Coruña was selected 'for the interesting architectural result of a mixed programme with dance and museum realised in one volume, which has a formal clarity.' Under the same name of Arts Centre, 2 different entities have found their place: a School for Dance and a Museum. The lower area which has a concrete façade is where the dance school is located, and the higher floors, with a glass façade contains the spaces of museum. Without any concessions to each other, both parties are combined in a singular image, with combined organisation.
