The exhibition, hosted by the H2O Gallery (Carrer de Verdi, 152, Barcelona), includes a carefully curated selection of sketches by Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra. The official opening will take place on March 26, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. The event is an initiative supported by UNESCO and the UIA, organized by Arquitectes per l’Arquitectura and the Fondation Le Corbusier, and has the collaboration of various institutional entities.

“I like to draw while traveling as a way of learning to see, of deepening my gaze, of penetrating the life of things. Knowing how to see, Siza wrote, is the architect’s best weapon. It’s about looking where others don’t look, observing the hidden side, the unseen face, the interior of things, because things always contain more than they show. Learning to observe is key, because for an architect, erudition simply consists of continuous and attentive observation. Observation, which is the foundation of knowledge.” From EGA magazine, issue 50.

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.

The project begins with the restoration of the existing historic building, highlighting the original materiality of the masonry walls and the clarity of the inherited spaces. A new, clearly differentiated, lightweight metal structure is then superimposed on this foundation, articulating the mezzanine levels, circulation paths, and vertical circulation cores.

In the current stage of construction, the relationship between the architecture and the port landscape is becoming increasingly apparent. The new glazed envelope and the intermediate spaces reinforce the visual connection with the sea, integrating the surrounding environment as an active part of the future museum experience.

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).

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.
