Museum and Cultural Center Theater by Gonzalo Mardones Viviani

The draft of the new museum and the renovation of the historic museum was born of an order of then General Alejandro Bernales , director of Carabineros RIP. The General idea was to obtain as a challenge to the expansion of existing and new museum new museum put an understanding of the heritage value . A first consideration was hollow and completely redesign the interior of the historic building facades and reformulating respecting its spatial and internal distribution , solid white painting of facades and interiors and establishing the necessary connectivity between the new and remodeled and intervened .

A second action was the determination of architectural elements in which it was decided to excavate and put the buildings on several levels underground. With this we obtained the dual purpose of not touching the trees in the park and put in place along with the house value now reflects historic facades with two huge lakes , toward the avenue Antonio Varas. It is then a building that serves mostly boring submerging land but allowing the passage of light and sun through courtyards and terraces that also allow for the exterior route also .
