Architecture Week 2012_TuÑon&MANSILLA

The Royal Collections Museum, Madrid

Emilio Tuñón gave an interesting and pleasant conference about the new Royal Collections Museum during Madrid’s Architecture Week. Obviously remembering his partner Luis Moreno Mansilla, and giving some short references about the city’s history, the river and the origin of the project, this building appears as a natural solution for this iconic site, growing up like a inhabited landscape. We face here a museum to be visited from top to down, culminated with a new access to ‘Campo del Moro’ Gardens.

This is a beautiful example of pure architecture. In every phase of the project development, even during foundations time, it is possible to understand the work character and intentions. Take a slow and deep look to the new created landscape: Almudena’s Cathedral finally has a base linking it to the Royal Palace, the square between both is finished and the present time becomes the link in a very silent and coherent way. This could be the key of Tuñón & Mansilla work, and this is the reason why works like this immediately become part of a city.

Differents windows with difference histories: in the same place, in the same moment, how many histories o how many social events happen? how everyone can see or feel or transmit differents things with the same things. How is our relation?

Many contrasts
