Open Call for Proposals. Redefinition of the Lobby of Macba Study Center.
The role fulfilled by the Study Center’s ground floor, a “friction zone” which shares features with museum exhibition areas, library reading rooms and event spaces, is currently in the process of being redefined.
This Open Call aims to gather ideas for the drafting of a new space pattern, yet undefined in a standardized form. We aim to do this with the help of specialists –architects— who will be able to approach the project from new perspectives, and will hopefully be not biased by traditional Museology in the task of giving physical shape to the uses and requirements that we have drafted on paper.
All the information about the Call, its programme, objectives and rules are settled out in this document.
