MAGMA Arts and Congress appears as a reference point amongst anonymous
buildings. The semi-desert landscape around it and the proximity of the sea, an
imposing presence that frames the building establishing a strong relationship
between both, an impressive view over La Gomera island, are the starting points
of the concept of the building. Thirteen geometrically shaped blocks emerge out
from the base housing all the functions such as offices, toilets, cafeteria,
etc. and creating a light movement that generates the flow of the roof,
outlining the space in every direction. In-between these pieces there are the
public spaces: hall, conference hall and congress hall, which accommodate
different activities with a varying degree of division.
