Núvol is conceived as a proposal with its own identity, yet inherently connected to the space it inhabits.
The design for the new Caixaforum headquarters in Valencia represented an exceptional opportunity-one that required a careful balance between architectural expression and responsibility. The challenge lay in creating a distinctive and complex program while integrating it seamlessly within an urban landmark.
The Ágora is recognized for its monumental scale, its precise geometry, and its high-tech materiality. Any intervention must first understand these attributes. Our approach proposes a spatial configuration that is respectful, complementary, and quietly assertive, creating the required functional environments within the vast, open volume of the original structure, without overpowering it.
The result is an architecture that coexists, rather than competes-an interior landscape that enhances the existing building while introducing a new sense of place.
