Casa de la Música y el Teatro

SpainCompany Name: ARTECOVA, S.L.

Project description

The unique volumetric formalization of the building , House of Music and Theatre, located in Arroyo de la Encomienda, Valladolid was designed to achieve the perfect combination between the music school and the auditorium with the highest levels of acoustic comfort and reverberation. With capacity for 608 people, this representative building required different systems to fulfill users needs in each space.

The volumetry of the building responds to the need to solve two different programs: Auditorium and School of Music. A large volume is located at the north end of the plot, housing the auditorium and its related rooms; the rest of the smaller rooms house the classrooms from the music school. This volumetric atomization has a double intention: to escape from a massive building and to minimize the noise pollution between classrooms. The auditorium intends to bring the past and the future of theatrical/musical performance face to face. The musical metaphor appears many times in the proposal.
