4.3.4. cultural and artistic center and new headquarters for the local community association

​

After carrying out the historic rescue and meeting the urgent need for adequate infrastructure so that the community association work could continue, I proposed: 1) the renovation of an old public butchery, a building from the 1950s, provided by the City Hall, to be transformed into a cultural and artistic center, with space to accommodate exhibitions; 2) the creation of a new building complex, intended to be the headquarters of the community association, to be inserted in the land next to the public butchery. The location is strategic, as it forms one of the boundaries between the historic urban core and one of the ends of the Ramp¹, serving a wider audience. As a design strategy, an implantation in fluid blocks was chosen, which condense different activities and invite the occupant to the walk. Solutions such as the use of adobe bricks (already adopted in the village) and the choice of a raised roof (which provides natural shading and cooling) were also used.
