Design Team Wins Compeition for Basque Cultural Center

By Bustler Editors|

Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008

The team formed by Jon Montero and Naiara Montero has recently won the International Competition for the Architectural Renovation of Tabakalera, located in the city of Donostia-San Sebastian, the capital of the Gipuzkoa territory, in the Basque Country, next to the border between Spain and France.

First Prize: Jon Montero and Naiara Montero, Barcelona

The Tabakalera building was a tobacco factory for 90 years, and in 2004, the City Council of San Sebastian, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and the Basque Government bought the building in order to turn it into an international contemporary culture centre.

First Prize: Jon Montero and Naiara Montero, Barcelona

The Jury highlighted the following aspects of the winning proposal:

  • Its sensitivity to the uses of the future centre and its ability to adapt to the requirements of said uses.
  • Its openness to the city, manifested in its proposal to create a new urban square on one side of the building, next to the current entrance to the underground walkway leading to the Egia neighbourhood. This solution represents a whole new way of looking at urban integration, and links, on a single level, Cristina-Enea park (and the Egia neighbourhood), Tabakalera and the city centre. Hence the proposal’s slogan: ‘3 en RAYA’, or ‘tic-tac-toe’.
  • The construction of a new element that highlights and raises the level of the current building: a glass body over the centre of the building, which reinforces its iconic character and provides a new viewing point over the city.
  • Furthermore, other aspects of the proposal also played a role in the jury’s decision, namely: its creativity, innovation, practicality, constructive coherence and its relationship with building and maintenance costs, efficiency as regards the mobility of persons and objects, sustainability strategies and environmentally friendliness and the efficient integration of installations, among others.

First Prize: Jon Montero and Naiara Montero, Barcelona

The project presented by Jon Montero and Naiara Montero is characterized by its respect for the existing building and the way in which it plans to bring out and increase its existing value, using architectural elements and resources that will enable it to become an ‘urban icon’ and a key building in the city’s landscape.
