The project undertaken by Vázquez Consuegra in Melfi involves the restoration and adaptation of the former San Bartolomé convent (16th century) to transform it into the MIA Museum, an acronym for Museum of Innovations and Arts. The approach combines preservation and architectural modernization. The project begins with a rigorous analysis of the existing structure, identifying its spatial, structural, and urban values ​​as the foundation for the new design. Over the past few months, the main structural work and consolidation operations have been completed, along with the restoration of significant original elements. Simultaneously, the construction of new architectural elements is progressing, reorganizing the program and improving accessibility, circulation, and overall functionality. The project incorporates contemporary construction and technological solutions that ensure the building’s adaptation to current requirements, adding a new layer of contemporary architecture to the existing structure. The materials and systems employed respond to criteria of precision, restraint, and continuity, reinforcing the dialogue between memory and contemporaneity. As construction progresses, the project begins to define its final spatial configuration more clearly, consolidating an architecture that, through restraint and rigor, seeks to revitalize the building and reinforce its role within the urban context of Melfi.

In 2023, the Vázquez Consuegra studio won the competition for the comprehensive rehabilitation of Castell Nou in Llinars del Vallès, transforming it into a multidisciplinary space for exhibitions and offices. The proposed intervention aims not only to restore the building’s historical character through its complete rehabilitation but also to give it a new, cultural and administrative purpose. It is, therefore, a revitalization of the old through contemporary reuse, integrating it into the city’s life cycle. Last Thursday, November 13th, Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra presented the project to the media and attendees, along with Martí Pujol (Mayor of Llinars del Vallès) and Albert Archs (ARCHS Constructora).

From October 23 to November 2, 2025, the Royal Shipyards of Seville opened their doors to the public to showcase the results of the first phase of their restoration, led by architect Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. During these days, admission was free, allowing visitors to tour the restored building for the first time and discover the project that will transform this iconic complex into a new cultural center for the city. The project addresses the heritage restoration of the historic building and its adaptation to new cultural uses, while maintaining its architectural identity and its connection to the urban fabric of Seville. This first phase has highlighted the original spaces and laid the groundwork for the second phase of the works, which will continue in the coming months. The final opening of the complex is planned for next year, when the building will be fully integrated into Seville’s cultural life as a space for encounter, dissemination, and contemporary creation.
