Madrid's Palacio de Cibeles recently underwent a stunning renovation that respectfully preserved the beautiful old building while creating a friendly cultural center that is open to the public. Dubbed CentroCentro and designed by Arquimatica architectural studio, this jaw-dropping modern space offers Spanish citizens and visitors to the capital, a place to exchange cultural information and engage in contemporary life and culture. CentroCentro is the perfect example of how an architectural building from the beginning of the 20th century can be brought up to date with contemporary sustainable building strategies - from green materials and natural light optimization to resource conservation and energy-efficient systems.
