Algue\u00f1a is a small village in the interior of Alicante County, with a population of two thousand and an economy based in agriculture and marble industries. We were asked for a building able to bring together all the activities related to music and culture that took place in the village, and also promoting its cultural future. Under these circumstances, that also comprised the definition of an extensive musical schedule of activities and a maximum budget of 562.800 euro we proposed in a first phase the rehabilitation of old Guardia Civil\u2018s quarter that was in disuse since the 80s. That allowed us to have a surface area of 670 sqm that we only had to adequate, and the construction on a new Auditorium of 350 sqm and 230 seats. In a second phase, we proposed the construction of a park with an open-air auditorium that will join the village and its zone of future urban development.<\/p>\n

The intervention is located in the west entrance to the village, near from classical local wineries, in a city limit that the new urbanistic plan will develop around this plot. The new construction is separated from the old by new adapted stairs that are enclosed in glass boxes lighted from overhead, that try to add fragility to the rotundness of the whole. The multipurpose hall houses 230 seats, these seats are moveable and the installations are able to accommodate different kind of functions, from a concert to a new year\u2018s eve party, that\u2018s why it also houses a warehouse where organize all these elements that allow use change.<\/p>\n
