Co-authors:Angel Sevillano Martín - José Mª Tabuyo Rodríguez - Eduardo Delgado OruscoThe former Palencia Provincial
Prison complex was created at the end of the XIX century, built with brick
bearing walls following the “neomudéjar” style, and composed mainly of four
two-storey wings and some other with one storey. On this building was planned a
comprehensive refurbishment to transform the former use and convert it into a center
that promotes the social and cultural activity in this part of the town.
Our proposal intends to convert the
former prison into a meeting place, recovering some of the old spaces, and
creating at the same time new structures that make possible the new planned
activities. It is a project that respects the existing building, which is given
a contemporary, lighter appearance, and where the natural light will play a key
role.
With this aim the main two-storey wings have
been refurbished, emptying their interior and placing a new independent
structure to bear the new floors and roofs. Besides, between the main wings
have been built new connecting pavilions, which form the new complex perimeter
and give it a modern and friendly aspect.
