The proposal is to construct the building that accommodates MIEC (Contemporary Museum of Sculpture) and redevelop the one where MMAP (Abate Pedrosa Municipale Museum) is currently located. The main objective is to create a common entrance for the two buildings. The conception of the MIEC museum is based on a continuation with the old building of the S\u00e3o Bento Monastery, which creates its ground plan, to which it is connected through the construction of an \u201carm\u201c that departs from the main building. The new museum runs parallel to the existing wall to the north, leaving the area to the south free to circulate. The format adopted in the plan is particularly important in the functional organization of the museum where, for example, we see that the entrance hall establishes a relationship between the Abate Pedrosa Museum, with the reception and vertical connections. The ground floor includes offices, bars, bookshops and a documentation centre. On the first floor, multipurpose exhibition spaces, a study and leisure area, and utility rooms are located.<\/p>\n

The MMAP is located in the ancient inn of the S\u00e3o Bento monastery. A two-storey building, with a longitudinal rectangular plan, is formed by a central corridor for circulation and various rooms of different sizes. The masonry construction in granite, has plastered walls painted in white but which leave the structural elements, fixtures, pillars, windows, architraves, etc. exposed. The intervention is based on two principles: to preserve the architectural features of the existing building and restore the originality of its elements, and provide the necessary structures for it to operate smoothly. To this end, the following solutions have been proposed: functional organization in four key areas: 1 – a primary intermediate space between the two museums, with reception facilities; 2 – a corridor for circulation with an area for exhibitions and access ways;\u00a03 – an auditorium for 56 people; 4 – seven showrooms, crossed by an alternative route to the corridor; technical areas; fire safety devices; renovation of south fa\u00e7ade and roof; demolition of existing roofs and renovation of the timber ones; demolition and reconstruction of interior walls; demolition and reconstruction of all floors to create a new, resistant structure; painting and maintenance of all existing windows and doors.<\/p>\n
