Cultural Centre in Móstoles
- Julia Liese
The cultural centre “El Soto” is located near a park under the same name in a suburban area of Madrid. The centre was originally supposed to be demolished and replaced by a new structure. The architects supported the idea to maintain the existing building from the 1980s and to redesign it. For one, they aimed at preserving the identity of this local institution and its meaning as a focus of community activity. In addition, renovation was also the more cost-efficient solution. Despite a tight budget they managed to comprehensively remodel the building.
