The initial intention of paving a small square in a village within the Metropolitan Area of Madrid, caused us to propose that the only available site be occupied with a village hall that was meant to strengthen civic life. For the square, we proposed an outline that was capable of reorganizing the unorthodox group of elements that were to be preserved, while the hall was thought of as both a covered extension of the square and like a tensed enclosure of its incomplete body. To materialize both ideas, an extremely light and permeable constructive system was used, finished with natural or recycled materials that allow continuous changes of image and very different uses of the space. The project changes the hierarchies and the perception of the space, setting up a dialogue between memory and the present with the intention of reflecting the changing condition of these peripheral areas.
