The first approach of this project is to recover, as far as possible, the original volumes of the building. This means the elimination of all elements and spaces remaining from old restorations and redesigns, emphasizing the most recent. The access to the building is through Rúa Manuel Valverde, which guides us into the courtyard. This space will show us the distribution and functioning of the building. Two ramps linked to the dividing wall –once the wall of the two main buildings– solve the problems of elevation in the first floor.Because we like the sense of continuity, the space leds us to the inside of the enclosure where we can see a large porticoed courtyard (reception, café, services and vertical communication). From this point, one can enter the archive that is located in the ground floor.
