Abstract

Ancorato al tessuto storico di Cáceres, dove le antiche mura dividono in due la città, il Museo d’arte contemporanea Helga de Alvear, una ‘fragile’ struttura di cemento bianco emerge dalla solida architettura storica ad alimentare un dialogo tra antico e contemporaneo, che si affida ai principi di radicamento e di astrazione insieme, riconoscendoli quali ideali sostegni del processo compositivo.

Located in the historic fabric of Cáceres, where the ancient walls divide the city in two, the Helga de Alvear Museum of Contemporary Art, a ‘fragile’ white concrete structure, emerges from the solid historic architecture to foster a dialogue between the ancient and the contemporary, relying on the principles of both rootedness and abstraction, recognising them as ideal supports of the compositional process.
