L'autobus ci lascia in Glorieta Puerta de Toledo, teatro di un progetto di riqualificazione ad opera di Navarro Baldeweg, il quale sottolinea il carattere pubblico e istituzionale new products (a community center, a senior center, library) elevated by a pedestal of gray granite that defines the northern edge of the square and find a kind of small acropolis.
Here begins our tour through the major contemporary interventions made in the old center.
Then we walk the narrow winding alleys of the neighborhoods of El Rastro, where every Sunday morning as there is a flea market, and the barrio of Lavapies, where we can appreciate the redevelopment of the Plaza Lara (Linazasoro) and the new Olympia Theatre (Paredes Pedrosa y).
The next stop is the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, recently expanded by the addition of Jean Nouvel volume of a triangular cantilever roof surmounted by an imposing red shiny metal. Overall, the prospect is not very convincing to Atocha, while the extraordinary large courtyard that has been created between the volume and the new palace, or a real square blanket that is a real piece of city.



cross the road to get to the Atocha station, designed by Moneo, where the most important elements of the composition of the lantern are cylindrical and parallelepiped clock tower. Always
Moneo is responsible for the enlargement of the Prado Museum. Although you must keep the immense difficulties inherent in the project, the feeling is that the great English painter in this case is not a fair amount of courage and boldness.
courage and boldness but that does not lack for Herzog & de Meuron. The two extraordinary
Swiss architects have recently converted a former factory into a multi-cultural center (Caixa Forum) by means of a daring work of subtraction (in fact they have eliminated the base of solid granite) and subsequent addition (the people raising with an irregular rectangular steel courtain).


The most extraordinary aspect is structural, we are in ten or twenty architects and engineers and we are all there, waiting patiently to get in queue to ask how do you feel about ...
After a good paella at the restaurant of the Caixa, which we view from a little disappointed at the lack of attention to detail, is only time for a quick foray into one of the great museums of the city.

Thanks to Mikaela, in Clare, to John and all the fellow travelers of the College of Architects of Monza.
