ABSTRACT

The recovery of industrial heritage poses design challenges that are not always easy to solve. In many cases, it remains as a meaningless skeleton, unrelated to the urban life of today's metropolises The work describes the recovery of the old Mediodía power plant of Madrid, in the so-called golden triangle of art identified by the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum the national museum Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Its recovery and transformation in CaixaForumMadrid by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron have meant a milestone in modern architecture in the city. The intervention is a term of reference for the recovery of the building heritage, demonstrating how the need for pre-existence protection may become a pretext for contemporary architecture. The use of contemporary construction technologies and materials has preserved the original beauty of the heavy solid brick facades and has detaches the construction from the ground in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity. The former power station has once again become one of the city's most popular sites, attracting tourists and visitors alike for the impressive architecture of the converted building and the many exhibitions and cultural events that take place there.

摘要

工业遗产的恢复带来了并非总是容易解决的设计挑战。在许多情况下，它仍然是一具毫无意义的骨架，与当今大都市的城市生活无关该作品描述了马德里旧 Mediodía 发电厂的恢复，位于普拉多博物馆确定的所谓艺术金三角中，蒂森博物馆-Bornemisza 博物馆国家博物馆 Centro de Arte Reina Sofia。它由瑞士建筑师雅克·赫尔佐格和皮埃尔·德梅隆在 CaixaForumMadrid 进行的修复和改造成为这座城市现代建筑的里程碑。干预是恢复建筑遗产的参考术语，展示了对存在前保护的需求如何成为当代建筑的借口。当代建筑技术和材料的使用保留了厚重的实心砖外墙的原始美感，并在明显违反重力定律的情况下将建筑与地面分离。昔日的发电站再次成为该市最受欢迎的景点之一，因改建后建筑令人印象深刻的建筑以及在那里举办的许多展览和文化活动而吸引着游客。
