CAIXA ONTINYENT CULTURAL CENTER/RAMÓN ESTEVE
From the architect. The characteristic use of the building is cultural, mainly dedicated to the promotion of all kinds of cultural activities such as exhibitions, performances, concerts, conferences, representing the entrepreneurial spirit of the company.
The building has two significant facades, one is historic and linked to the memory of all citizens, and the other is contemporary, overlooking a green slope, with the Clariano river as backdrop.
From the lobby there are different crossed views with the different parts of the building, such as the cafeteria, offices, boardroom, exhibition room, meeting room… creating a visual link between them while maintaining their functional independence. A large central horn-shaped skylights, produce some significant pockets of light, that flows through the concrete walls and give a special character to the space. This treatment is also applied on the facade facing the courtyard, creating large gaps, giving depth and framing the views through the facade.
