REPORT

What is today know in Cadiz as the “Baluarte de la Candelaria” is a group of buildings of military origin, constructed over different periods of time. Once these existing buildings have been modified, they will become the home of the new Maritime Museum.

Merely restoring them would not sufficiently comply with the requirements of a museum. Therefore, a series of covered galleries has been designed to unify the various parts, making it possible to walk the full length of the Museum sheltered, never losing contact with the interior garden. These operations allow us to arrive at a new order of things that is superimposed on the apparently arbitrary of the existing buildings.

The character of these coverings allow them to be juxtaposed to the existing buildings, causing the vegetation and transparencies to become the themes of the new image that the Museum should offer to the city.
