Mansilla+Tuñón - MUSAC auditorium, Leon 2004. Perhaps the most celebrated of the practice’s work, winning the Mies van der Rohe award for best European building in 2007.
“In contrast to other types of museums, which focus on the exhibition of frozen historic collections, MUSAC is a living space that opens its doors to the wide-ranging manifestations of contemporary art. This is an art centre that constructs a set of chessboards on which the action becomes the protagonist of the space; a structure that develops from an open system, formed by a fabric of squares and rhombi, allowing the construction of a secret geography of memory.”
