CAIXA FORUM

Caixa Forum in Madrid by architects Herzog & de Meuron. Adaptive reuse of an 1899 power station transformed into a museum and community art space.

The power station was gutted and the ground floor removed. The new structure cantilevers over the entrance. A gas station was demolished to create a piazza and a green wall was added to an existing neighbor building.
