Mercado de Arte

The WOW Concept Building in Madrid, Spain, was reimagined as an art and community center, focusing on creativity and local engagement across its basement, ground floor, and second floor. Our aim was to infuse mercado culture into the art center, providing a hub for artistic interaction and relaxation amidst the city’s energy. Inspired by Madrid’s market culture, each floor serves a distinct purpose: the ground floor as a market, the second for workshops and galleries, and the basement for relaxation and performances. Therefore in keeping with the original structure, specifically the arches and columns, we also integrate biophilia and more natural lighting as another driving force of our design.
