REPORT The current urban image of the Atarazanas building does not fit its importance, on account of the constructions added to the original Carlos III building and the urban treatment of Temprado Street and Dos de Mayo Street.

REPORT
The current urban image of the Atarazanas building does not fit its importance, on account of the constructions added to the original Carlos III building and the urban treatment of Temprado Street and Dos de Mayo Street.
A series of changes are proposed for the surrounding streets; these include opening the currently closed parts of arches to allow a view into the interior, consequently giving CaixaForum a visible presence on Dos de Mayo Street.
The plan also proposes removing road traffic and the facade pavilions, whose presence prevents visitors from seeing the continuity of the front part of the original building. Finally, removing all the fences from in front of the buildings would create a generous space in front of them. This unified space could be created by phases or even partially, according to the agreement reached with the other two institutions and the city government.
The inclusion of exhibitions or an auditorium would be entirely incompatible with the structure of the building and the bare construction of the original Atarazanas. The first project decision has been to keep them practically untouched, adding little more than the necessary stairways to connect the upper floor. Access to the upper floor or a small display showing the initial scale of the arches would punctuate the large open space.
