NÚVOL: CaixaFórum Valencia
Valencia, Spain
NÚVOL, a proposal for the headquarters of the Caixafórum in the Agora in the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia.
The design approach for the new headquarters of the Caixafórum cultural centre in Valencia was a major creative and technical challenge. At the same time, it was necessary to tackle the conception of a singular and complex building and to resolve its insertion into the interior of an urban icon such as Santiago Calatrava's Agora building.

NÚVOL: A COMPLEMENTARY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PROJECT
Because of the monumental scale and unique geometric and technological definition of the Ágora building, our NÚVOL proposal aimed to resolve the requirements by means of an architecture that would respect the pre-existing building and at the same time complement it, with its own identity, within the great void in which it was to be implanted.
