Abstract

Understanding the historical city centre as the existential space in which its cultural values are deposited, essence of its origins, inspires the best contemporary architecture to shift its concerns from building specific objects towards designing an empty space in which life can take its course, preserving the cultural value of public spaces between buildings. Alejandro de la Sota’s project for the Provincial Museum in León is a good example of this cultural and urban attitude.
