A quiet walk on a Sunday afternoon through the Vistillas´ park in Madrid… A winding path through what seems like an endless slope of well-kept meadow, a fountain from which flows a water as transparent as a crystal, flocks of pigeons frightened by the carefree adventures of the walkers…
Slowly, behind a group of trees, the soften edges of a cubic figure begin to appear, timid, wrapped in granite and taut translucent canvas, without doors or windows, without stairs or railings, without any element that still allows us to perceive its scale, only a large shadow that invites us to descend with curiosit, to discover that we are entering a large atrium that makes the building o feel as a huge container, made out off bamboo, steel and curved crystal were a ligth and delicate stair makes an ascend upwards what initialy seemed as a roofless space sewing 3 light hanging mezzanines in which all kinds of objects are exhibited.
