From Municipal Market to Cultural Centre

Space 03

In Getafe, an old covered market

bui lt at the beginning of 20th

century, deserted and semi-ruined

for years, was located in the

heart of the city of typical pre-

war style. A-cero, an architect

company known for its works

for star residences, took charge

of its renovation. They smartly

changed the broken red-brick wal l

into a shining piano keyboard. The

market is converted into a cit izen

cultural center with a strong

sense of futurism, which wi l l br ing

the vital ity back to this old city

center.
