Medialab-Prado in Madrid, Spain by Langarita-Navarro ArquitectosWednesday, July 2nd, 2014Article source: María Langarita and Víctor Navarro Perhaps more than anything else, it is the very strangeness of the diverging intentions found in the La Serrería Belga adaptation project for the Medialab-Prado that makes it possible for them to coexist, though not without a certain measure of irony. The first of these caustic coexistences stems from a certain institutional schizophrenia. While the ‘Paseo del Arte’ was transformed into Madrid City Hall’s banner to attract international tourism, an architectural competition was simultaneously promoted in the same area, which would end up serving an institution that sponsored debates that were deeply critical of this model.

FUZI pedestrian Candido in Innichen, Italy by AllesWirdGut Architektur ZT GmbHTuesday, October 15th, 2013Article source: AllesWirdGut Architektur ZT GmbH Conversions of old city centers into traffic-free shopping and tourists’ malls have frequently been performed according to trite recipes. The shops’ increase in turnover mostly stands in opposite to the commercial alienation of old structures – a process of ‘gentrification’ in which old substance is scenically pepped up, while local societies are hollowed out and superseded.
