Cultural Center in Coria del Río

This building is a cultural centre, located in Coria del Río, for Japanese people who come to visit the town. It's an isolated object on the banks of the river which stands in contrast and counterpoint to Coria's traditional buildings.

The plan of the building is a zig-zag form which makes a double connection , to the town park at one end and to the other, the river.

The almost domestic entrance emphasises the river and frames it.

Versatility is the most important aspect of the  programme; the building has to be an exhibition room, an auditorium and a stand at the fair.

The whole building is constructed of concrete with vertical glazing strips, these vertical glazing strips allow light to flood into  the building, the façade is an enormous window.
